    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Hawks bottle it

    One after a great rove off the contest... pretty well done I would've thought.

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Hawks bottle it

    Panic? It's not like we couldn't get our hands on the ball during the 'run' yesterday. Kicking 7 points suggests as much.

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Hawks bottle it

    Agreed. In fact, unless the Ruck is standing on the line and doing an absolute vertical jump, they are going to travel forward as well as up. Then, if the opposing Ruck decides not to contest and just get out of the way (as the Collingwood ruck did often), of course Meek is going to cross the...

    Autopsy Round 6, 2026: Hawks dim the lights

    We have had a great start to the year. The Swans are smashing teams: beat them. Beat Geelong in a belter, then beat the top team a few days later. Many suggested, given our early fixture, that they would take a 3-2 start. Now at 5-1, we are doing a lot right. As for the commentary discussion...

    Autopsy Round 6, 2026: Hawks dim the lights

    Fair enough. My point was the reference to if their “ruck kicks that goal, we lose by 2” ; doesn’t work like that.

    Didn’t we miss some very easy shots as well? And kicked more points?

    Autopsy Round 4, Easter Monday, 2026: Hawks make a great point!

    Buckley’s admissions show a self awareness, an ability to continue to learn throughout one’s life and adapt; hallmarks of a very good teacher I would have thought. Not all coaches (or teachers - not necessarily the same thing, although good coaches teach) get it right the first time. And sorry...

    Autopsy Round 4, Easter Monday, 2026: Hawks make a great point!

    Apart from knowing a bit about the game, Buckley is a very high-order individual; I have seen this first hand in the way he dealt with a sensitive issue involving one of our school students (Melbourne school) who was in the AIS academy (in Canberra) under Buckley at the time. Went above and...

    Autopsy Round 4, Easter Monday, 2026: Hawks make a great point!

    Yep. Coaches use it to inform /reinforce their processes.

    Preview R0 GWS v Hawthorn, Sat March 7, Engie Stadium, 4.15pm. Game Preview.

    Yes. It is innate in humans to protect themselves; unless they are specifically trained not to. This is a problem .

    2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC

    Yes, I agree with the thought re false sense of security, but that is not the fault of the helmet. I also referred to an ‘appropriate’ helmet. Having said that, psychology aside, can helmets actually increase the amount of concussions?

    2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC

    Shaking is different to an impact. An appropriate helmet will reduce the force of impact on the head (reducing ‘a’ , in F=ma), which in turn reduces the impact on the brain. Think of crumple zones on a car protecting passengers far more than a 70’s Falcon or Kingswood.

    Training 2026 Off-Season & Preseason reports and discussion

    Who is to say those 3 or 4 defenders would have all played against Geelong? Or, if the did, what would’ve been achieved against a less than optimal Geelong side? Do we know what the coaches had in mind re game plans, strategy, having a look at young players etc? Ultimately, some of our best...

    The contest resulting in the Weitering incident has and will happen endless amounts of times before the season starts. Just unlucky. Hamstring ‘awareness’ the same. It could be argued less collisions occur when more skilled players are on the ground.
