Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 9 - Hawks v Saints Sat May 11th 1:45 pm AEST (UOTS)

[T2B_]

This is hands down the worst take I've seen this year.

I'd be amazed what would turnout if Plugger and danster had a kid

 

[Xtreme]

The first quarter was quite entertaining. Ross the Boss fixed that at quarter time.

Ross Lyon football is great football (if you like stabbing yourself in the eye with a fork)

 

[The 747]

Can really see this year why the Hawks wanted Weddle so much. Developing rapidly.

 

[Xtreme]

Imagine you had an old gun small forward and a young gun small forward. You then spend your first round pick on a small forward and your second round pick is used to trade for a small forward.

Could be worse you could trade for Vickery

oh wait

 

[hk89]

Way to miss the point.

Your point was poorly made, as well as just plain wrong. Bruest very close to retirement, so having three very good young small forward options - all of which might be potential future midfield additions - doesn't seem very dumb to me. Your post on the other hand that overstated our trade costs....

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Moore and Newcombe BOG by a country mile at this point.

Newcombe has 17 (10 contested) at 82% with 4 clearances.
Moore 8 touches (6 contested) 2 goals and pressure been immense.

And big bad Lloyd Meek giving Marshall an aboslute bath

8 touches, 1 goal, 3 marks, 3 tackles and 21 hitouts.

OK, moving on.

A ten point HT lead seems not great value for effort for the Hawks.

Well it certainly wasn't like winning tattslotto!!

 

[jackenny]

Depending on wind direction that can be literally impossible.

Though youd hope he would pass if that were the case.

On an angle on his non-preferred. But I remember when he used to still dob those in on his way to 40+ goals for the year. He still looks better than last year, though; think the calls on him being cooked are overblown (though he’s definitely in his twilight).

 

[Zevon]

No disrespect to the Hawks but they’re the sort of young developing side the Saints should be beating by 6+ goals. Got a few injuries to key personnel as well.

Despite all that the Hawks have comfortably looked the better team so far. Speaks volumes about how poor the Saints have been.

 

[HairyO]

Neither was Rough getting cancer. We were desperate and there were no other FA options.

Plus, I remember the Swans game at the SCG. Vickery kicks it to Rough, returned from treatment, and from 50m bombs a goal for the win.

Of course, thats about all he did.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

But i thought saints were decent lol

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Saints spine and experience will hold them together as the game wears on I fear.

Can't fault our effort for the first half, but we just have too many talls to cover through injury atm.

And big bad Lloyd Meek giving Marshall an aboslute bath

8 touches, 1 goal, 3 marks, 3 tackles and 21 hitouts.

Meeks an absolute gun, was brilliant last week as well.

Amon is the real issue. Absolutely cutting Saints to shreds on the rebound.

Playing as a Justin Leppitsch like CHB. If he becomes close to that we have done very well. Then there always the prospect of moving up the ground

Doubt it.

Not really as Marshall has 14 disposals, 4 tackles and 17 hitouts

I have Meek just edging it but it certainly isn't a bath

 

[Mibie]

God footy is almost unwatchable. Especially following this s**t truck of a club

 

[Dewyyyyy]

HTA would be interesting, felt like Marshalls hitouts have been doing nothing whilst Meek has given us first use, and just looks like a generally bigger threat aerially and around the ball.

 

[hk89]

OK, moving on.

Given we are close to even or behind in most stats, I'm just happy to be in front at this point. Not giving up a massive early lead has been a nice change, but we've struggled to prevent teams getting a string of unanswered scores across an entire game, so we'll see how the second half goes in that regard. Saints playing like a fellow bottom 5 team, so holding on for a win not beyond us.

Meeks just competing really well. That's what we want from him.

Hawks to win by enough to make up the 22% differential and overtake the Saints!
