Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 1 - Hawks v Bombers Fri March 14th 7:40pm AEDT (MCG)

[Magpie Since 1986]

Shiel is so bad now.

Not his fault he is being played at half back, how the **** does that make sense?
Shiel well known turnover merchant.... put him in the position on the ground that most heavily relies on good ball use?? His only strength is inside mid.... Meanwhile they have an established half back ball user in Redman playing inside mid?

Brad Scott is a dumb arse.

 

[Delisted]

Enjoy him whilst he lasts mate. His back is cooked and he’ll be lucky to see out half of that contract

Ok cool. Nice info.

 

[jdisc]

We fixed Burgoyne.

We'll get 150 games out of TB now that he doesn't have to fly every two weeks.

he's a legend and i miss him every day

 

[Ren]

Yes those frees against didnt help but we lost the game in the first quarter. Credit to the hawks they look seriously good

 

[Coasters7]

as a west coast fan this is cope

How so? He was great for us but let’s not forget how much shit he copped from opposition supporters claiming he was no good, now he’s one of the best in the league because he wears different colours?

Only have to look back to how the Hawthorn fans valued him at trade period

 

[Satan]

Interesting

Yeah not a 30 year old with back issues. He was never the same for us once Riewoldt cooked him

he was an underrated FB for us and now that he's playing for a Vic side the football world will realise how good he actually is

he was always one of the best in the league, he just never got the proper recognition

Looks pretty good out there.

I don’t like this scheduling where 1 team is playing their first match against a team with one already under the belt. I didn’t think the AFL could make the fixturing more compromised but they have managed to do it.

Just love a bloke wearing black boots built like a literal fridge.

How can you hate this man.

Well it would have been fine if not for a cyclone but I agree round zero is ****ing stupid.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Big fan of the Fox Footy commentary.

So thankful I don't have to listen to the 7 commentary team anymore

Agreed, but some of the production needs work.

Way too many replays of the previous goal, meaning we were missing the ball up sometimes.

Also a very abrasive cut to a replay while the ball was in flight, and the small 'live' screen in the bottom right corner was way too small.

You know Essendon were supposed to play last week, right?

So only 2 of the 3 premierships then? Also, you sound tired.

 

[Elixuh]

Why
2 years back Hawks were miles behind them.and now have clearly moved past them
Essendon are just treading water

Because I thought they’d lose by 10 goals and they didn’t

 

[Coasters7]

Looks pretty good out there.

Round 1? Check back in in 6 months after a handful of games

 

[Plugger35]

That game was a fizzer compared to last night, Essendon never really looked like winning despite getting within a few goals.

Tom Barrass still doesn't know the words to the Hawthorn song.

 

[Wosh]

Love watching Hawthorn play right now, such a strong club and I’m a big fan of Sammy.

 

[YeoShuey]

Barrass is one of the best defenders in the game tbh.

How would it have been fine?

While I will happily participate in Scott slander.

Sheil doesn’t work as a mid in this side. He’s too small. It was either HB or VFL.

He’s shown some good composure there in preseason. Had some howlers tonight but definitely not alone there. Also needs to play about 15 more games to be father son eligible at Essendon and I think they nurse him there

Redman as a mid was clearly bought in to be a bigger body. In a way Sheil couldn’t. Strategically it’s interesting even if the obvious thing is just to pick Will Setterfield and have Redman at HB over prior
