Autopsy Hawks fall short against the Swans - Rd 8 2020

[Bugs1977]

I was green with envy. Young kids taking a risk and trying to find a way to score.

On TV you could totally see the point that they did it around about 7-8 minutes into the 3rd quarter. It’s gotta make you think that if we as fans could all see it happen then did our coaches see it. I don’t know wether it would be more a concern if they didn’t or that we did but just had nothing to counter it.

Claiming it was a sling tackle. Doesn’t look great but the MRP have been all over the shop on that one this season.

"Claiming"??

Lol.

Messenger If I claim you stole money from me and used the evidence that the action of you putting your hand in your pocket was the same as putting stolen money into your pocket, how do you think I'd go in any adjudication hearing? Absurd claim. Tipping and turning a player over is not even remotely close to slinging them. What could he possibly correct in that action? Is he supposed to carefully lay him down? Maybe keep a blanket tucked into his shorts to make sure Rowbottom is comfortable too?

Ralph makes it sounds like a done deal that he will get a week and so we shouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case

in saying that silk does seem to be channeling his anger with some of his tackles - needs to chill a bit

Ralph also for some weird reason made a point of Sicily and Mitchell being top 20 for free kicks as though that makes clarkos comments redundant

it does seem though that the hawks mantra never claim has gone out the window

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Need to think how to post this since I got a holiday for a mod taking something out of context

Several players will never be dropped unless they suffer career ensing injuries. I AM NOT SUGGESTING ANYONE GO AND HUNT THEM DOWN.

Endeavour in the game was better than previous weeks, still way off though. Had more scoring shots, but innacuracy cost us.

Worpel was a lot better than he has been this year.
Brooksby looked good. Reminded me of wayde skipper

 

[Rushed_Behind]

Papley is a flog. Weak dirty flopping flog. How anyone can think what he did was acceptable is kidding themselves.

And he didn’t kill us. He kicked 4 goals yes but could quite easily been 2 max.

 

[Jane Doe]

Langford had one good season as well.

Langford had a good 5 weeks that’s a bit different

 

[theiaofseed]

So Silk is going to be done with potential to cause injury?

Wasn't that one awarded hploding the ball? Was it Hardwick who got a free given against him for a dangerous tackle directly front of goal in the 1st which resulted in a goal to Parker? Had he been charged also?

 

[Dixie Flatline]

$1500 fine. A joke. There was nothing in it.

 

[Gralin]

Get the feeling they might make him pay for getting away with it last time.

He's been fined for a dangerous tackle

 

[Dixie Flatline]

 

[savagelunchbox]

A textbook tackle is now a fineable offence.
Touching a player at their tit is now deemed high.


Cool, thanks for letting us know. Suppose we'll need to ask players for permission to tackle next...

 

[Gralin]

Its borderline whether his head even hit the ground.

He put him down on his side not his front or back. His shoulder definitely hit the ground first and they call it careless conduct and high contact.

Let's not forget Selwood for nothing a few weeks ago for a good old fashioned coathanger

 

[Hodginator]

Should challenge the fine on principle

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Should challenge the fine on principle

We never do. Shits me.

 

[Spursfan]

Do they not understand you can't half tackle someone? Fine if it was 2 actions but this was textbook

 

[Off The Couch]

Jon Ralph sounds so disappointed

 

[SA HAWK]

He's been fined for a dangerous tackle

The right outcome.

 

[Gralin]

The right outcome.

Why?

 

[theiaofseed]

Jon Ralph sounds so disappointed

You just know Barrett will lay in Clarkson in his "what did we learn" article. Those two are such petty campaigners.

Oh, I wondered what that was about. I’m not claiming he slung the player.

Take a nice deep breath.

It's kind of embarrassing on both sides. Coaches shouldn't be saying things like that despite how true it is. He's just coming off as an old and angry man and is giving the media more ammo to use against him.

And not for the first time. But he seems to have a hide as thick as an elephant.

Pridham is a rent-a-quote flog though. He’s professionally indignant.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Sam Mitchell's interview after the game (on the HFC website) is a tonic for any sorry Hawks supporter. Highly recommend having a listen if you are feeling downcast after the weekend.

What was said

 

[SA HAWK]

Why?

Not being suspended i mean.
