Autopsy AFL 2025 Rd 16 - Hawks v North - Sat June 28th 4:15pm AEST (UTAS Stadium)

Whatever you say mate. I guess that’s why the closest umpire didn’t even pay it and fans of neither side were all in agreement that it was a bad call. But you’re right

Embarrassingly biased mods are always the most fun.

And I bet you thought the free to Larkey for front on contact was all good too, eh?

No? I thought it was ridiculous. Believe it or not, one can watch incidents in games and not blindly side with their own team. Crazy, I know.

So then they canceled each other out, so why are you still whining about it?

Both frees were there. Both got paid.

good to see the Hawks really put them to the sword.
I real back to earth defeat for the roos.
Great to see Gunston keep on keeping on with a bag of 7.

Smashed them in the middle without Day and Worpel. Forget what the stats say Meek destroyed Xerri when the heat was on. Xerri had a decent last part of the game when the horse had bolted.

Geez I came here to read my weekly meltdowns about umpiring but have been disappointed. Come on pick up your games, you know who you are.

The unsung Amon another quality game

Meek - 11 disp 3 marks 5 score inv 37 hitouts 9 HTA 5 clearances 6 tackles
Xerri - 18 disp 5 marks 4 score inv 31 hitouts 6 HTA 5 clearances 3 tackles

7 disposals different, 2 marks to Xerri.

Meek 1 more score inv, more hitouts and hitouts to advantage, same clearances and double the tackles.

He was big during the big moments too Meek.

Roos get smashed by hawks in tassie. Probably others too.

Perhaps our most consistent player this year, will finish very high in the B&F if he keeps it up.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

This is the North of earlier in the year so far. So much space in Hawthorn’s forward line every single time. Defenders trying to cover two forwards somehow? What is the system that allows this to happen?

No Comben or Corr. Logue is out form, Pink is a trier but not highly capable, Dawson inexperienced and unproven - plus it wasn't against West Coast, or a mentally shot Carlton, or Melbourne who have no ability to score, or Freo on a "we can't be bothered scoring" game. And the smaller defenders have been a problem even in North's better games.

Not that Comben or Corr are great, but Comben in particular may have allowed other defenders to play closer to their man in shutdown roles as he wrapped up the intercept marks.

That's no excuse, especially for the midfield getting smacked like that making it so much harder, but upsets any structure that might have been considered.

He is so reliable. Him and Jarman have an amazing understanding. Look for how often the HB runners seek him out. That foot is so damaging.
