Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 21 - GWS v Hawks Sun Aug 4th 1:10pm AEST (Manuka)

[voorhees]

cracking game ..
wow that was a awesome ending
gws never gave up

 

[Orange Agent]

The Giants should play more home games in Canberra, they get better support there than they get in Western Sydney.

Players deserve it too.

it was coming, Hawks were due for their lull trip-up, and after relentlessly reeling in the bombers on the ladder it was time. 9th beckons, which is fair for where they’re at.

Giants playing some solid finals-style footy of late. That has to be one of their most consequential Manuka victories over the years, given how BRUTAL their remaining draw is (Lions, Freo, Dogs, mercy!). Of course if they go red hot then top 4 finish is all before them.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Everyone loves seeing the hawks lose. It was actually a good effort. Hawks were off all game. The giants taking until deep in time on the get the win is good for the development. Obviously would've been better to win the game, but themselves the breaks.

In all honesty, even at 28 points up, I don't think you could find one hawk in the best

the demons could use a player like hogan

Everyone loves seeing you lose because you carry on like world beaters despite not being in the 8 once this season. Same reason everyone hates Collingwood, the attitude doesn’t match the talent.

In my 34 years on this earth, everyone has always loved seeing us lose.
"Carrying on like worldbeaters" is simply enjoying the footy being produced and having fun. How dare people have fun. Surely having fun is some sort of microagression in 2024?

 

[cactuscall]

That'll bring the Hawks back to earth and put the brakes on the media love-in.

Wrong. They've been one of the fairytale stories of the season. After they win a flag people will be back to death riding them as that's just what happens. A few will be sick of the over the top media coverage, but that doesn't phase me.

Anyway today could be a big moment for GWS. Adversity can make you. Having their biggest ever come back against a team full of confidence, while being without Cogs/Kelly etc. That's big. They have heart that Gold Coast could only dream of.

“Having fun” is certainly a way to put it

Love to see the North, West Coast and St. kilda fans getting involved. Please tell us how to play/act you bunch of jealous donkeys

making the finals this season is savage. HAwks done so much right and could miss if it gets to 14 wins for the 8.

Is what it is. We were expected to win the spoon, some even thinking we'd struggle to win a game.
Instead we have taken it up to 6 of the teams inside the 8. The game is about winning, but it is not always about the win

I tipped you for 8th …. Think you still make it

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Also GWS won't win again this year. 9th.

That aged well.

Except lost 6 of their first 7. They just did the reverse of what we're seeing now from Carlton and Essendon who could both miss the 8.

Likely to still make it if continue form

Needs Carlton to fall to bits, Collingwood to lose crucial games

 

[cactuscall]

Needs Carlton to fall to bits, Collingwood to lose crucial games

And likely need a huge percentage jump.

Well they play Carlton this week

They’re not like the other two.

Especially the latter.

 

[extractasam]

What Happened Hawks? 28 points up and lose by 2 points. Too much drinking of the bathwater.

Better than your game championis

 

[Vindicater]

And likely need a huge percentage jump.

They fi ish with North and Richmond I believe. If they get over Carlton next week (likely) then they could still make it.

 

[extractasam]

Maybe we wait until see if Hawks actually make finals before pumping them up

lol we’d won 10 of our last 12 or something and 95% of footy media predicted us bottom 4. Finals was a pipe dream
