Autopsy Round 2, 2026: Hawks pluck Swans

[Flamin Joe]

How on earth did we win that while shooting ourselves in the foot at every opportunity? Unbelievable.

Going to be bloody hard to sleep tonight.

 

[MitchHomieQuan]

Baras. Brick wall

 

[SA HAWK]

Made hard work of it but got it done in the end.

Felt like a 5-6 goal win we were clearly betterr after 1/4 time.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Contenders contending!

What a game!

 

[lepregnome]

Mitchell Lewis: haters silenced. Incredible.

I've been unsure...but he played his guts out tonight

 

[HedgeFund]

At 3qtr time

Goal efficiency.

Sydney 26%
Hawthorn 23%

At full time

Sydney 22%
Hawthorn 25%

That was game.

Goal efficiency

It’s that simple.

 

[Malik90]

Gunston will go down as Hawthorn’s smartest ever half forward. What a remarkable player. He’s 34!

13 disposals - 6 marks - 4 goals - 4 behinds

 

[Jethro!]

Messy but great W

 

[Dinsdale]

Gunston: I am the absolute bedrock of this team
Barass: Hold my beer

What a second half from Ginni.

20+ from half time?

 

[Malik90]

Lewis redeemed himself in that fourth quarter.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Mitchell Lewis: haters silenced. Incredible.

He had a few good moments, but also had plenty of moments where he should've grabbed fairly easy marks for a key forward

 

[Gohawks16]

Fantastic win! Toughed it out and got the 4 points.
One of the most frustrating games to watch but really happy to get the win.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

That was such a great game of footy.
Had a bit of everything

 

[burnside5]

Unreal as thought they got some very dubious umpiring decisions early. Lewis around the ground was immense in second half and time to let him free.. Bring out The Gimp....

may be our most important player. Stats don’t reflect the impact he has.

 

[Delecate Des]

Pffffft, never in doubt

 

[Coach Killer]

Ginnis class in the last was fantastic

Hardwick was superb - Barrass

Mackenzie well done son - great game.

In the end probably should have won by 5 or 6 goals - we left a lot out there

 

[Viddiot]

Beautiful! Very Hawthorn-like performance. We were a bit off here and there, but the BACKLINE and BARRASS just said 'Nope. Access Denied.' Gunner...if I had to pick a side he's my first choice everyday. Wiz working to the death of a won game shows me he's thinking about PECENTAGE and I love it. Well done Lewis, he did some good things late for the team on an ordinary night
Very hard grinding win which is perfect for our development. Even performance across the squad IMO. Very happy.

 

[Malik90]

Moore was excellent. He’s back in form now.

22 disposals - 5 marks - 3 tackles - 5 inside 50s - 3 goals - 1 behind

 

[MistyAvalon]

what a relief............... and what a joy to see platten and Dippers cheering em on.. now they were wonderful players....

 

[James Colorado]

Loved how Ginni worked his way back into the game. And well coached by Mitchell by putting him on ball so he can get his confidence back and have an impact.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Can't wait to hear what Grumpy Jase will say lol.

 

[killerspud]

We deserved the win though we made it harder than it should have been

is an amazing defender

Loved the game of McKenzie and Butler thats where the improvement of this team will come

Ward was great in the last Moore continued his good form from last week

Wizard was electric all game

Chol was good early Lewis good late

All in all a good night (but I am mindful they were without their 2 best players and that would have swung the game in their favour)

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Apologies for the roast of the midfield from that point on we were excellent. Cracked in and wore them down. Newk brilliant, Nash and Ward big 2nd halves. Mitch Lewis fantastic last quarter well done mate.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Moore of that Hawks (with greater accuracy).
Someone one Gunners.
Barrass is a magnificent beast. If defenders won Brownlow…
Watson in everything. Magic.
Did it the hard way. Go Hawks!
