Autopsy 2025 Preliminary Final: Hawks get rolled

[bindas12]

Am thinking a Collingwood win tonight would be the best chance of that. Esp if they bring in Bobby Hill for next week

No way, Brisbane with Neale in and Stewart out is the best chance. Brisbane should hopefully smash the old and slow pies tonight.

Would be absolute road kill IMO. Who have they beaten of note in more than 2 months? Brisbane, even with injuries, have the cattle to take it up to Geelong. They still a better midfield…and we know that defending premiers can back up and turn the tables on the QF. They just need to get there and not lose anyone else…

They invented the precedent to punish Sicily. No way are they showing any common sense to let Chol off.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Apologies if this has been mentioned (I haven't read the whole thread) but a great quote from Sam's presser last night.

When asked what his tip was for the premiership from the three remaining teams he said, "Don't care, hope they all lose" Sums up exactly how I feel

 

[DEECEE]

Just to lighten the mood in here a bit. Thought it was awesome to see punky pre game.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Three weeks? You gotta be joking.

Ray Chamberlain on ABC radio last night said Chol will be fine, did nothing wrong.

 

[Off The Couch]

If there was a case to answer, wouldn’t he have been cited by now

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Theres a big difference between saying someone is a bit vanilla and some of the vitriol directed at our players.

His captain and TB dont agree.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Was there a reason meeky hardly attended the centre bounces in the 2nd half last night?
Was he carrying something that prevented that?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

His captain and TB dont agree.

They said he's hard to compete against. That's great.

And again, saying someone is a bit vanilla, is not that same as posting that you never want to see them again or for them to **** off out of the side.

 

[rdhopkins2]

3wks for the Chol tackle is a joke.
Hopefully we find grounds for appeal.

Hope Stewart is ok though.

 

[hardway]

Stewart and Butler take out Chols legs as the tackle is laid. Good luck trying to control the motion of the tackle once that occurred.

You didnt see their final against Adel?? Absolutely smashed them. They had a shitload of injuries during that down period, but with Howe, De Goey and possibly Hill back they could challenge

Neale wont be fit

 

[Paul Kersey]

3 weeks - cooked. Appeal. And then appeal again. Just be a pain in the arse during GF week.

So did we. And we were miles more convincing too. They are completely fried…

But noone can tell me what CJ adds bar “enthusiasm”

 

[Paul Kersey]

Fatigued today. Forgot how much a prelim takes out of you as a fan - imagine the impact on players/coaches.

 

[VandoHawk]

It's a bullshit call but they set the precedent with the Curtis suspension.

Our best chance is arguing that Butler contributed to the tackle, and that Chol didn't have a reasonable chance to adjust. Not expecting the AFL to show any common sense though.

 

[Franko Armani]

They constantly tap it on, move it on, flick it out and they always have 3 or 4 on 1 and they are ALWAYS running hard forward. It is like they just know its going forward and not turning over.

We have Ginnivan get smothered about 15 times and they barely get the moving ball intercepted.

They just physically too strong and powerful for us after qtr time. Our game is to outrun and evade the opposition but they had that measure as well. They honestly have it all, and that’s why it was so hard to see a Hawks victory leading into the game. They want for nothing this Geelong side.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

But noone can tell me what CJ adds bar “enthusiasm”

He's a defensive player, that the coach has used across halfback/wing when subbed on, to release others up the ground.

Unfortunately he has.

Geelong Mafia got him

 

[Gaston]

Easy fixture enabled Danger to chill and rest or go at 50% all season so he was fresh and primed for that 3rd quarter

What did he take or receive when he went off the ground during the first quarer?
Must have been one hell of a suppository!!
