Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 13 - Swans v Hawks Fri June 11th 7:50pm EST (SCG)

[Tippett2Goal]

Given the performance we put up against Gold Coast when we were heavily favoured, am not looking forward to this game as much as I probably should be...

 

[RUNVS]

Still a month away but I can't wait until we have Gulden, Campbell, Warner and McDonald all back in the team at the same time. All 4 brought so much life to the team.

 

[hawkman]

Looking forward to seeing how Newcombe goes.

Not much else to get excited about for us

 

[Number37]

Clarko and Gill will have a coffee on Monday to talk about rucks taking the ball directly out of the ruck contest

How long do you think it will take for Clarko to go from legend to f-wit, in the eyes of the Hawks faithful, when he takes up the job at the Pies?

 

[Number37]

If Papley is his usual dickhead self, probably him.

Speaking of dickheads...when is he back from his knee?

 

[hawkman]

Won't go to Collingwood. And even if he leaves for another job he will still be a 4 time premiership coach legend of Hawthorn. That won't change no matter where he goes

 

[Number37]

Clarko has small man syndrome.
He will dump on the Hawks after he leaves.
Odds on he blames list management for the malaise, won't accept any of the blame.

Burgoyne is playing.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Hawks finished bottom 4 and got a much tougher draw.

Ladder spot doesnt matter anywhere near as much as how badly the AFL wants you to succeed.

Mate the record is broken, the needle in your 1979 Pioneer Stereo has worn it down to something less than vinyl. You need to come up with some new material. You had you period of absolute dominance so now you are s**t stop crying. Give us a spell.

 

[Wolfgang West]

If Papley is his usual dickhead self, probably him.

Maybe he will walk out the huddle and threaten to knock his block off. After all he has form in that area. All be it at a VFL Game.

Why not he changed the holding ball rule to the s**t show it currently is after whinging to his Polo playing mate.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Burgoyne is playing.

Yes, you can count on a Hawthorn supporter to point that out every week.

 

[hawkman]

He wanted a harsher interpretation and has been calling for it for years rather than what we are dealing with now. It has gone in the opposite direction to what he wanted

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Yes, you can count on a Hawthorn supporter to point that out every week.

So then make that consideration each week and provide the context, because it’s a massive outlier to your average age stat that you post every week.

Then there'll be calls to leave Franklin out of the Sydney figure. I think after the 'Can Hawthorn succeed without going to the draft' thread, you lot have become a bit touchy about age.

Average age is a consistent indicator across 125 seasons. You can mess around with it if you like.

No one asked you to take Burgoyne or Franklin out.

 

[Ron The Bear]

No one asked you to take Burgoyne or Franklin out.

I've sometimes been asked 'What is the figure without Burgoyne?', so assumed that was what was being alluded to. I can put up the numbers for each player if you like and you can shuffle the deck chairs to your heart's content. The Hawks are not especially young in today's competition and certainly not in a historical context. This year's team ranks 22nd oldest from 97 seasons at Hawthorn.

With Burgoyne on the list (8th oldest)
Without Burgoyne on the list (11th oldest)

Will Day wasn’t even born yet when Burgoyne got drafted back in 2000.

If that is the case does not surprise with AFL

He provides the stats for all the games each week, up to Hawk posters to complain and kvetch about outliers if they want to.

 

[The 747]

Hmm Sydney should win easily. Clarko is going to flood the backhalf all game so might be pretty dour.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Must say I appreciate Ron The Bear and his data drops. He puts in a heap of work for which he should be commended.

 

[timokane]

Sydney easy win by 21 points
