Autopsy Hawks v Suns - AFL 2026 Rd 7 - Sat April 25th 12:15pm (UTAS Stadium)

In this case they didnt have much impact on the match. If anything GC got a bit of the rub

that piss weak 50 changed the match

 

[HairyO]

Well it was a good game until the umps flexed their muscles

10 frees to 2 in the 2nd half. We couldnt buy a free.

We played badly but the Suns were just terrible.

If Ben King isnt kicking goals he is just a liability.

Ugle-Hagan was 3 metres over the mark. Should have been 50 immediately

 

[Dewyyyyy]

that piss weak 50 changed the match

It was one call which technically isn’t wrong, bad rule, bad umpiring not sure. It isn’t making any difference tho. 50 point game in the end, Hawthorn dominant for most of it and the umpiring was generally mediocre anyway. All this chatter is laughable.

lol yeah let’s ignore all the other horsesh*t that mysteriously went the AFL pet project’s way.

JUH was 3m over the mark.

Suns got soft frees all game and we got nothing. So maybe the soft frees changed the match and we would have won by 15 goals....

I do like a good #freekickhawthorn in a game where our opponent got nearly double our frees.

 

[Xtreme]

Never in doubt
Hawthorn in control from the first siren to the final siren. Beat them if you can, survive if they let you.

 

[CobberRodgers]

Jacob Mollison has been a great pick up for the Suns. Another academy product no doubt.

 

[CobberRodgers]

The one against Gunston in the first half? I agree.

 

[jwikked]

Ugle-Hagan was 3 metres over the mark. Should have been 50 immediately

All he has to do was move to where the mark was. Thats what “stand” means.

It doesn’t mean freeze where you are and don’t move. It means stand on the mark. He froze where he was, nowhere near the mark.


The rule is shit, I hate it, and I hate the punishment. But like it, or not - that’s a 50 meter penalty.

 

[cactuscall]

Lol at all the construction workers standing around doing no work and just watching the game. Since when do construction workers on public holidays anyway?

Last paragraph is perfect.

It's a Hawthorn vs Sydney Grand final this year

Not even close at all. Two best teams and everyone playing for second

Brisbane vs Freo.

 

[Hodgey 15]

This the same hawthorn that would have lost to Port had Georgiades kicked straight with 30 seconds to go yeah?

No.

 

[Malik90]

Hawthorn missing Sicily, Moore, Chol, Day & Butler. While the Suns were close to full strength. And Gold Coast won the free kick count 22-13.

lol

 

[Breretonisahood]

lol yeah let’s ignore all the other horsesh*t that mysteriously went the AFL pet project’s way.

Standard match day thread. Team that wins by 50 only win because of a single 50 m penalty. Team that lost would have won but for umpires even though they easily won free kick count.

 

[Malik90]

Gold Coast hardly win away and neither do Hawthorn. Since it's at Hawthorn's cheat home ground, they win.

Hawthorn are 4-0 against the top eight teams this year.

once again proves how useless he is when the ball hits the ground.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

They stormed the beach of Normandy for this?! Disgraceful effort on this important day of remembrance.

 

[RCAB]

Happy with the comeback and intent.
But #freekickhawks will win at end of the day

So glad we beat the Gold Coast Cheats

Not even close is a stretch after 6 rounds. If Freo win tonight there will be a Freo shaped elephant in 2nd spot. I'd like to play some decent opposition to get a better idea, apart from an away R1 loss away to Geelong there's nothing to test against. Even Hawks had a loss to GWS first up. Freo hasn't slipped up against anyone outside the 8.

Would like to judge Freo more after playing WB, Hawks and Brisbane in the next month.

Not to mention Brisbane and Geelong right in it imo.

 

[RCAB]

It is always the Hawks that are on the good end of the controversial rubbish calls.

It's literally the opposite

Nothing will ever change

You're right about that

 

[shaqsuns]

The suns need another 5 first rounders after that shit show

 

[hk89]

You only get one chance to work back a deficit against a decent team and the umpires choked it and the game

Yes. I'm sure that was it. The umpires caused your loss, while cleverly hiding it behind a 13-22 free kick count (despite the team with 13 having a good many more tackles).

I'm sure it had nothing to do with you allowing Hawthorn to kick out to 7+ goal leads. Twice.

GC fans as mentally soft as their one-way running mids.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

GC almost twice as many frees but yeh Freel Kick Hawthorn. Idk why people are so focused on it.
