Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Hawks bottle it

[StackedHunch]

Weddle: "managed"

He's become a complete joke. First stop the shrink. We would have won if not for him.

 

[HairyO]

Did we have 6 injuries?

What the hell was Sicily doing out there ?

 

[MasterSamurai]

We're the lucky ones here. Take the two points. Our poor kicking for goal has been the elephant in the room all season.
What a ****ing waste of an effort.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Hawthorn deplorable. Hope that Wiz non call gets airplay. Looked htb at ground and it was a 12pt turnaround.

 

[Cyrilyouchampion]

Loving the smell of their own farts. Didn’t deserve to draw.
Pretenders

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Gonna take a long time to get over this scoreline

 

[Spudwick]

Definitely looking at this one as glass half full..pies really played well and were impressive.
We dominated them as we all know but to get the 2 points, gotta take that.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

We kick straight we ****ing win. Learn the lesson

It has amazed me for years that "professional" footballers can't kick.

 

[Delecate Des]

Never in...... owww never mind

 

[Off The Couch]

Absolutely wasteful against a side on one leg

Sam was outcoached tonight - played us exactly as Brenton Sanderson

outlined this morning to an absolute T

Not sure what the thinking was moving Sicily forward when he couldn’t even walk

Empty.

 

[VandoHawk]

Pay holding the ball you maggot

 

[kenneje]

2012 GF feels. Thank god Moore kicked that.

 

[user33]

Horrendous night of footy, horrendous umpiring, horrendous commentary.

Weddle needs to be dropped, will be the best thing for him long term.

Cmac, McKenzie, Amon, Ginni, Wiz, Reeves and Newc only players up for it tonight.

 

[Billyc]

Given our percentage compared to other top side, that is closer to a win than a loss in practical terms.

Probably the result we deserve. Don’t deserve to win when you kick that badly including some absolute howlers. But Pies were equally arsey all night - they don’t kick like that often. And they got a ride from the umps all night so they didn’t deserve to win either

Had midfield dominance all night. A few good individual efforts but a pretty gross game of footy

 

[cryptor]

Strange to feel such relief to get a draw in a game we should have won in a canter.

Goal kicking accuracy has been an issue all season. Not to mention the ease at which we concede high quality scoring opportunities on turnover.

A lot to work on.

 

[ReturningHawk]

A draw. Just trying to think back to the game if anyone squandered their opportunities in front of goal?

Our dumbest game of footy since our loss to Port in 2024. Mitch will swing the axe on the back of that one.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Wiz rundown on Framptin non free kick was a disgrace. 62-34 inside 50’s says a lot about the way we played. Some very poor players tonight. Well done Moorey on the goal.

 

[Mercy Seat]

We were incredibly wasteful but statistically, that should have been a 30 point win by every metric.

Pies took their chances at an insane level, however, they dominated us across half back, and almost all their goals came from turnovers in their D50 where they were able to move the ball at rapid speed from one end to the other, and catch our defence out of position.

Continues to be one of our biggest weaknesses, but made more stark and painful when we're missing them from 25 out.

 

[bungholes_premiers]

He's become a complete joke. First stop the shrink. We would have won if not for him.

One single goal from his attempts is all we needed... one.. 1

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

I feel sorry for the Pies. That would be gut wrenching. We were horrible.

Surely your joking, we kick straight it's not even a discussion even if we were out coached.

 

[hebog]

That was the most frustrating 3 hours. Don’t know whether to say we were lucky to not lose or should have won by 50

Both.

 

[Flamin Joe]

It would have to be by far THE most frustrating game I've seen since the Swans game at the MCG a few years back.

 

[brew]

Rubbish

Need to win next week… but after that not confident.

 

[Mrzohs]

I’ve never seen a more wasteful game of football.


Have at it.

It's a sombre feeling but i will take the draw, the team looked flat, mindset was not their and unbalanced line up.

Some big moments from Croc, Whiz, Nuke, Noodle.
