Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 18 - Demons v Hawks Sat July 17th 7:25pm EST (MCG)

[Moley Russels Wart]

No one wins a game no one was watching and no one cares about

 

[SSSSSS]

Mitchell back to his Brownlow best tonight.

 

[Spursfan]

Pretty blatant holding the man not paid against I think Gawn at the end there

Glad it wasn't my hawks goggles that saw this..

 

[Chaisa]

Che? They were both exhausted yet both teams tried really hard to win.

Well both were making a heap of mistakes and seemed reluctant to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Probably a case of both sides going hard at it in fairness.

 

[Linda Lovelace]

This season is really starting to look like the Steven Bradbury Cup.

Every top team appears fragile as hell in their own way.

 

[Rob]

Overtime would be great, another 5-10min of two teams throwing everything at it instead of wandering off with a weird feeling

Nah.

 

[Kanga Commando]

Just heard on the radio that both of the Hawthorn supporters that were planning on going are apparently devastated.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Need to get rid of draws

Why? It helps seperate teams on the ladder.

Super stoked with the effort of our young guys. Bramble, Grainger-Barrass, Brockman, Reeves - all did some great stuff. Given our injuries, I'm happy.

 

[DapperDon]

Hawks fans celebrating a draw, oh how the mighty have fallen.

 

[pablo668]

Well, I didn't pick that happening.

Great effort from the Hawks, having a rough year, but that kind of work rate is a good sign.

Bad luck Demons. I am hoping you take the Flag this year.

 

[JP2]

Our record vs top-10 teams: 8 wins 0 losses
Our record vs bottom-8 teams: 5 wins 3 losses 1 draw

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

This is going to ramp up the penalty shootouts in AFL chat that started after the Euros isn’t it?

is so s**t. Just plays dumb football

 

[Lampers]

Same mistakes from Melbourne. Panicked under pressure and just kept kicking to a out number. Your have the lead it is ok to hang on to the ball.

The bigger problem was not making the most of relatively straight forward chances and Hawthorn made more of fewer chances.

Same thing happened against GWS.

Sort that out and it won’t be close near the end.

As well as Hawks did tonight, lots of what worked for them won’t be sustainable week in and week out.

 

[Blackas87]

Would of won if we merged

 

[adammania9]

Melbourne aren’t winning the flag this year. Lose to the Giants at the G, Adelaide, Collingwood and a draw with Hawthorn. Will still finish top 4 but out in straight sets

They won’t be playing any of those sides in finals. They’re undefeated against top 10 teams this year. They’re still top dog.

 

[FreoRicci]

This is going to ramp up the penalty shootouts in AFL chat that started after the Euros isn’t it?

No. It’s not a final. Therefore don’t need an extra time/shootout. Only in finals is it important

 

[FreoRicci]

MVP.. gets a coffee machine. Lol

 

[markm106]

They won’t be playing any of those sides in finals. They’re undefeated against top 10 teams this year.

It’s a good point. We have got up for all the top sides. It’s almost like lower teams player play to go against our plan and top sides play their own brand. And don’t change up for the interceptors etc.

 

[hawkman]

Frosty makes footy fun.

Not so much for Hawthorn supporters

 

[markm106]

Bank the 2 points. Top of the ladder. Burn the tape.

 

[RAPPA]

Clarko still well and truly a supreme coach

 

[ExYarraValley]

Well done boys. Melbourne can’t win the GF. Game was all a bit to hard for them tonight and they were garbage.

 

[Stottzy]

The draw might feel like a anticlimax, but it makes the ladder a lot more interesting when it eliminates percentage.

Thought we were gonna get flogged after the first 10 minute's, but what a game! Barras is gonna be a player

Had half our team out. Melbourne didn’t want to come near the hard ball. Got exposed when the game was all to hard.
