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

[Tas]

Are Hawks just this bad at doing a rebuild?

I think Hawks will get there, when they focus on it.

Since taking isaac Smith in the first round in 2010:
2011: Didn't have a 1st round pick
2012: Didn't have a 1st round pick
2013: Didn't have a 1st round pick
2014: Didn't have a 1st round pick
2015: took Burton (Traded to Port for Winguard), took Lovell (delisted after 2 games)
2016: Didn't have a 1st round pick
2017: Didn't have a 1st round pick
2018: Didn't have a 1st round pick
2019: Took Will Day
2020: Took Grainger-Barras

They have found some decent prospects in later rounds, but they are lacking some top end younger talent. They will get there but it will take a bit of time. They had a great era, I am sure most supporters are happy they had their time in the sun, should have probably pulled the pin earlier rather than trade between 2016-2018.

Hawthorn gave Adelaide their only feel good moment of 2020........... they've done little since

I suspect the same will be said for North Melbourne

 

[HairyO]

You lost to North. Imagine thinking that entitles you to throw shade on another club lololol.

1965 vs 2015 does.

 

[MinerBoy]

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

"Far better than the average but below the top tier"

100% spot on and hardly a slur

 

[Kram]

Would take Cunnington over the likes of Tom Mitchell any day.

 

[queensberryrules]

27 contested possessions.

Absolute beast. Just gets it done week after week.

Plus excellent disposals.

 

[queensberryrules]

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.

Naah. He is top tier. Has been for a while. I'd say he is unfashionable, media pundits are notoriously error-ridden, they love a marketable look.

He's a good ordinary player too.

There are tiers of top tiers. He aint on the top one.

This is an IQ test to sort out folk who have a passing interest in the game, and those who actually watch the game. Yours is under 100, confirmed.

What a ridiculous comment. Arrogant to boot. Not to mention incorrect.

My comments were more than fair by the way, even in response to Kram bringing Mitchell (a Brownlow medallist) in to the conversation.

Absolute garbage. Cunnington is an elite inside mid.

I never feel worried cunners will waste a disposal.
Silky smooth with the ball.

You're a football moron. There's no coming back from that now.

 

[MinerBoy]

Someone unable to hold a football conversation without resorting to this tripe certainly is a moron. Well done on the irony.

See ya later Einstein.

 

[MinerBoy]

Absolute garbage. Cunnington is an elite inside mid.

At no stage have I suggested he is anything but a very good player. And I suggested against the Hawks he is unbelievable. Some severely twisted knickers by people who appear to hit 'reply' without even understanding what they are replying to.

perhaps you could list who's ahead of him as an inside mid..wouldn't be many

Cunnington not elite...that's Kane Cornes territory. If you watch the footy closely, you will lose your moronic opinions gradually. There is hope. Don't despair.

 

[JackFlash]

And the coach who said that got crucified for it. Nothing pisses people off more than the truth.

The truth gets everybody in trouble, Jordon Lewis was 100% correct in his assessment of the Hawks. 5 years at least is the best option they have. Tell the truth in 2021, no matter what it is and you will be in the hot seat! Clarko needs to come out now and tell Hawk fans what's the plan? North could beat the Suns later in the year and maybe one other, where does that leave the Hawks as far as the spoon goes?

Mate based on the way you post and interact with others I'd say I've watched footy longer than you've been alive.

Anyway, at no stage did I say he wasn't elite. You're getting bent for no reason.

I said he wasn't on the top tier. The tier occupied by Pendlebury, Martin etc... but outside from that I was absolutely being complimentary of him. There was no slur on him at all.

You've missed the mark here by a fair way and to be honest the insults you're throwing based on you (1) misreading the context and (2) just having a differing opinion.......... well, it is actually pretty embarrassing for you and your ability to interact with others

I think North are looking to get Edwards and Horne in the drafts. So I would imagine they've already written off 2021. If they do, with what they've got and to come back, they'll be pretty hard to beat in about 18 months.

I suspect the same will be said for North Melbourne

We'll beat Essendon this week
