Autopsy Brisbane defeats Hawthorn, Rd 11, 2019

[Dixie Flatline]

Dissect here.

 

[caliente]

Disaster after Q1

 

[grumbleguts]

Not gonna lie, that sucked.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Closer to a decent pick. Beating GWS and Carlton was unforgivable

 

[VandoHawk]

Look I know the bomb it long thing wasn't working ... but what if we tried bombing it long 2 on 1 to Puopolo?

 

[PenAndPaper]

Badly need a key position forward who can crash packs. Lewis goes ok at it but we can't rely on just him to do it.

Also annoyed with how often we had two players tackle the same bloke leaving an opponent free for him to handball to

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

0/10 would not watch again. Staggering Lewis had a chance to level the scores, they thoroughly outplayed us.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I don’t care what anyone says, we should never have got rid of Hodge.

 

[SSSSSS]

Inb4 the melts of manchildren.

 

[Dewnior]

Did Silk just do his calf? Take him out of the side tonight and we get done by 10 goals.

Just can't string 2 wins together, f$&k

 

[user33]

Isaac Smith's very fast, one of the fastest players running towards goals. One of the slowest running away from goals though. Take the first rounder from the dogs and run.

 

[Breustiful]

First quarter was lovely viewing rest can GAGF.
Shaun ‘Hands of God’ Burgoyne was crucial and I never want him to retire.
Generally think Tim O’Brien has finally come of age. Patience is a virtue.

 

[Kuuz]

Request to place Roos and Browne in the first ship destined for the planet Mars, just so I never have to listen to their garbage, half-baked commentary ever again.

 

[beta_condition]

I don’t care what anyone says, we should never have got rid of Hodge.

We didn't Clarkson tried to get him to go around another year, he left on his own accord.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Just looking at the rest of the draw, there's really only 2-3 games I can see us winning. That was a season defining match for us, and we blew it.

 

[Off The Couch]

That’s a really disappointing loss
5 goals up against a bruised and battered side coming back from Perth

I don’t mind losing but tonight hurts and yes they have a quality midfield but we still have some very good players out on the field and our skills and decision making were awful after that good first quarter

Really disappointing


And a big * you to Brown and Roos

 

[Luv_our_club]

Very happy with Scully. He showed a lot of heart. And with Burgoyne who continues to be ridiculously good.

But they were not really the players that we needed to step up to win the game.

 

[Zack]

I wrote this before the game ended... by at least 3 minutes... but the game thread had ended...

We had our chances early once again we had a player come off so we couldn't end the game with a full group... this time though we knew he was unfit coming in so we can't hide that...

Let's just take the draft pick and move on. That would be my take from this game.

I thought I was angry, this board can't even make the end of a game before they are putting up the review of a loss. Stick it out, it hurts but that is why we are Hawthorn. Walking away before a game is poor. And unhawthorn like to be honest. Why you would turn your back on your team that early is well... I've got nothing. So I don't know what to say anymore about it. It's just poor. I'm guessing you are the same people that leave at 3/4 time at a Melbourne based game. Sorry never liked it.

 

[WWSD]

Pittonet is not an AFL standard ruck. I don’t care how many tackles per game he averages. He is too slow and offers nothing around the ground and he cannot take a mark.

Glass isn’t going to make it as a midfielder and should be playing at Box Hill.

 

[Wingnut19]

Isaac Smith's very fast, one of the fastest players running towards goals. One of the slowest running away from goals though. Take the first rounder from the dogs and run.

Hes absolutely putrid now. They will offer a third and we prob have to take it?

 

[rdhopkins2]

Disappointing result to say the least after a decent start.

 

[satan1]

Positives - good start, Burgoyne really struck form, Worpel & JOM battled hard, Mitch Lewis took a couple of good grabs at the right time.

 

[MinerBoy]

They’re a better side than us though. They have better mids and better talls than us at the momen

They probably are. But it's marginal. Like it is between teams 5 and about 17 (Carlton suck on a level all there own). Adelaide are better and we beat them. Pies are better than Dockers. Tigers are better than North.... all comfortably more so than Brisbane are over us.

With that lead and their travel and shorter break we should be pretty damn disappointed with how we completely stopped and got smashed.

 

[Hawks1994]

This team is an enigma. Two strong wins intersected by two poor losses. We're still most certainly in the transition phase but these ups and downs are nauseating. But in a good way of course

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

Comfortable performance by Brisbane with 5 minutes to go in the first quarter. Effectively a 48 point turnaround. It is a reality as to where we are at.

We were in it until the Lewis miss in the final quarter. Some Brisbane brilliance and game over.

Massive difference between the sides on display. We are middle of the road.

Seniors didn’t step up as expected.

Wingard another hamstring
Imps injured, however played out the game.
Smith didn’t rise to the occasion as expected.

No impact where it mattered and dare I say out coached. Our systems moving the ball forward are poor.

Lewis will develop even further. Great that he is being entrusted with significant responsibility.

At least we are not getting smashed, however we are just a middle of the road side. Long season ahead as we develop further.
