Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 9 - Hawks v North Sat May 15th 2:10pm EST (University of Tas)

[The 747]

Haha, what an awesome result! Go North!

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Well done North and I reckon today you did us a big favour. Hopefully we don’t see:

1) Tim O’Brien anymore

2) Ollie Hanrahan and Dylan Moore in the same side

3) A slow-paced, one dimensional midfield

4) McEvoy being the only ruck and getting slaughtered yet again

5) Tom Phillips other than playing at Box Hill

We could have manufactured a win and it wouldn’t have meant anything.

Need more young mids this draft. The forward line is pretty good and the backline isn’t the worst, but the hawks just got smashed at the coal face.

[CarnTheScray]

Are Hawks just this bad at doing a rebuild?

 

[Plugger35]

Lol Hawthorn? You lot are meant to be finals bound and were 3 goals 13 behinds at one point.

At least we had the excuse of playing a good team, the Hawks don't have that excuse, you just loss to winless 0-8 team.

Long rebuild ahead for the Hawks.

Maybe if we do this to the players

The players might make more of an effort

 

[NorthFootyFan]

Small steps to a massive rebuild

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Tom Mitchell had 3 contested possessions and 2 clearances from his 28 touches.

Need to hit the draft for some inside mids.

 

[Shane Heard]

Lol Hoofawn

 

[rdhopkins2]

Congratulations to North. Too good. Too hungry.

 

[Antzzz]

Really enjoyed that game ... well done Roo’s...

 

[RobbieGray17]

Oof Hawthorn

 

[RobbieGray17]

Have to say Jy Simpkin might now get aome attention. Hes good. 38 and 13. Very solid

 

[Cool Kangas]

North celebrating like they've won a Grand Final lol.

Good on them, it's been a long time between drinks.

And so they bloody well should. As you say, it’s been a long time. Been a couple of years from hell.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

No sauce either.

 

[Cool Kangas]

So good. Now we can't be the first team to lose to North.

Oh ffs you wont lose to us anyway

 

[Strange Cat]

No sauce either.

If it’s heated up you could imagine it to be gravy...if you had COVID and no smell or taste I guess

 

[MinerBoy]

North by 29

Obviously I over rated North.

 

[MinerBoy]

So good. Now we can't be the first team to lose to North.

But you were the first to lose to the Hawks

 

[MinerBoy]

Cunnington is absolutely awesome.

He's a good honest player. Certainly far better than the average but below the top tier. Against us though he's Dick Reynolds, Bob Skilton and Dusty Martin rolled in to one.

 

[300Weatherby]

Worst team in the comp at the minute too

You'd could definitely argue that North have more upside than Hawthorn, just years of terrible trading and drafting

 

[Breretonisahood]

It’s not all bad- our % went up!

 

[pablo668]

Congrats North.
While my team aren't exactly setting the world on fire, I thought North worked hard and showed some improvement when they played us in Perth, and in subsequent weeks. Nice to see them get a win.
Commiserations Hawks. Sucks to be in your position.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Seems that Clarko has a choice of rebuilding one of two struggling Clubs.

I honestly believe the Hawks are ahead of the Pies in their rebuild. He should stay where he is and let Buckley keep coaching at the Pies for another few years (sorry Pies fans)

Turn it up. He is a star. Good honest player
