Autopsy Hawks vs Eagles

[Glenferrie Oval]

Yep the umps sure taught us a lesson tonight.

Stop whinging, WCE were first to the ball and got the free kicks.

 

[Hodginator]

I blame the jumper.

 

[bindas12]

really feel bad for the guys who flew over.. got smashed in contested situations...and forward line non existent... looked too nervous and panicked..
soo embarrassing... Premiership teams don't keep losing key games over and over during the season like we have

 

[In2theWild]

Awful.

Clarko will not make wholesale changes. He just won't so save the bleating.

Move on. Live to fight another day.

The team is capable of great things still but the sand is pouring quicker through the hourglass than ever before it seems?

There will be another chapter to be written.

 

[bigton08]

If Brad Hill plays next week I will lose my Shit!!!! Soft and a completely overrated footballer

NOBODY CAN SEE IT.....THOUGH...NOBODY can we start a petition?

 

[benneth]

Surely you jest?

FFS what do you reckon?

 

[tige19]

The end is upon us

 

[MinerBoy]

More disposals.
Way more tackles (but less that impeded the opposition).
More 1%ers
Not significantly less hit outs.
More clearances and centre clearances.

........way LESS inside 50s.

That says we didn't run and create space enough. We worked hard in the clinches but didn't use the ball well enough outside or run hard enough in to space or to create space.

Ball use was poor.
We looked panicked.
Clarko out smarted himself. Frawley held Kennedy in the second half after spending the first half running around at the end he isn't natural at all when we had a team that wasn't using the ball well going forward. At the other end Lake looked lazy and disinterested and was getting goals banged on him all over the place.

Add to this our lack of running and poor ball use outside which was another coaching error selecting a guy who shouldn't have played and was unable to have any impact at all until really late in the game and was accompanied by his cohort wingman who has been struggling all year. Basically left us without the run we needed to slice through their pressure.

A lot of guys stats padded in the last quarter and left their overall numbers looking not too bad but it was Sam Mitchell -> daylight -> Cyril. Beyond that Langers and Shiels both had a dip but have ball use issues that let them down.

Ah well.............. history still beckons. It'll just be harder.

 

[wallyt99]

Out: Hale, Stratton, Lewis, Suckling, Bruest, Frawley (all omitted), Gunston (inj)
In: Ceglar, Litherland, Spangher, O'Rourke, Hartung, Howe, Schoenmakers

Stratton was fine. Lewis has enough runs on board to make up for it.

Stop whinging, WCE were first to the ball and got the free kicks.

WCE were better but we were never a chance with 25 vs 22 one of the most one sided finals i've ever watched anyway.

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

People are going to smash Frawley but he's a defender that was stupidly started forward then had to go back when west coast were already on top. Give me a spell if you're blaming him at all.

 

[bigton08]

Oh yes it is

somebody talking some sense

 

[Paul007]

Well that was pathetic and embarrassing. Our top 6 still carry the team. Dunno. Bring Schoey and Jesus into the side. Same shit all year to be honest just gets more exposed against quality opponents. Anyway, I like to see the Weagles carrying like they have won the flag already.

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

F.uck you all, shit supporters.Hawks were terrible but i will came back to thisand remind you all of it when we win the flag.

How long are these threads archived for?

 

[bindas12]

well kids That was a real hoot, I had a ton of fun how about you?

I am sooo glad I am in UK and no one cares about AFL enough to give me shit about the game... #premierleaguefocus

 

[hardway]

Played like headless choocks for most of the night. Writing was on the wall when a number of the boys did not go when it was their turn. To win finals you put your safety aside and a few whimped out. Boys will be embarrassed when they review that.

 

[user33]

Of course Lewis puts his hand up for a TV interview

 

[becalm]

Think the coaches were too clever by halves. Playing Frawley up forward after kicking goals against the bottom 2 sides, what can you say. Kennedy kicked 3 goals in a 12 minute period, game over.
Some of the spoiled brats should be ashamed of their comments. Disgusting, saying they weren't having a go etc. It is mighty hard to keep yourself up for 4 years running. I still believe they will make the GF, but probably won't have enough left in the tank though.

 

[seysearles]

what planet are you on?

The planet where the Hawthorn Football Club are back to back premiers and have overcome every obstacle in the their path for the past 2 seasons. This loss is just an opportunity to do something seriously inspiring. And if we don't do it then.... well we can just go and weep into out 2013 and 2014 premiership cups. This year is a free hit. Thats how we have to see it.

 

[Gunstall555]

Warning to the lurking WCE likers. I will report you for it. holy diver can vouch for that.

 

[SA HAWK]

People are going to smash Frawley but he's a defender that was stupidly started forward then had to go back when west coast were already on top. Give me a spell if you're blaming him at all.

Clarko's fault.

 

[Hauker]

Umpires got them off to a great start and they went on with it. Well done, they played very well, but the unbalanced umpiring really pi***d me off.

 

[kirbatron]

Given a massive touch up.

Confidence will be down. Need to keep our heads up.

 

[undefined]

Hartung should've played, Smith 80% fit at most and relatively ineffective.

 

[detox]

Some passengers tonight.

Shiels, Birch, Lewis, Breust, big boy, suckling terrible

Cyril and Mitch our best
