Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Hawthorn

Hawthorn are not even a top 8 team. Too many of you fans out there accepting mediocrity

Too right. Hawthorn are not a good team. Their ladder position is testament to that.

We dont want it this year. We're content with the pretty jumper with the shiny "Premiers" logo on the front. It will look great in the pool room.

Maybe next year when we arent the hunted.
 
you are incorrect. Kennedy had 4 marks, 4 tackles, 3 tackles inside 50, 2 clangers and couple of goals. Get your facts right. That is more than a pass. That is actually pretty decent output or of your FF. we just got out coached by a GOAT. simple. Let's just say, even if we went up oe more gear Hawks were not going to lose tonight.
You missed Spud Fawley out reading him in flight and Kennedy not even making a contest most of the night?

Completely wasted a massively talented list. If Simpson doesn't lose his job over this then we are in for a good four or five years of wasted talent, so sad, so tragic.
Bit extreme. But Simmo at least needs to look at the way he is coaching on game day and make a change for next year. He is too happy to stand off to the side and let the players work it out themselves.
 
The Hawks were excellent, of course, but we are done mate.

No team has won three away games in a row this year, let alone gruelling finals. The Bulldogs didn’t have the same challenge, and our mob is already looking tired.

It’s over, but feel free to quote me if we pull off a miracle.
you assuming tigers will def
Everything you said has some merit, but at the end of the day it’s an excuse. Paid professional sportsman are required by contract to do their best. We didn’t gets smacked by a good side tonight, we got smacked by an average side and didn’t don’t even put up a fight.
No doubt there is pressure on AFL players. Agree there

it is not an excuse with all due respect ,over 100 years of this great game how many teams have had a dynasty or B2B?? it is very tough. Also, Hawks beat Cats, pies, and giants twice this year. I am not sure how you think they are just average. We got out coached. It happens, specially when the opposition coach pretty much taught you everything :)
 
It is funny how pp think every time your team loses its because you played bad. incorrect. sometimes you just gotta take your hat off to the opposition team ( including the coach) who just outplayed you. ffs dogs won a flag from 8th ppl. have some faith.

I can credit an honourable loss but this was not one of them. The lack of intent and effort for most of the game was glaring.
 
I'm just about over Yeo's end over end kicks when he's breaking out the middle, they don't give anyone a chance to get to the ball, ditto for Gaff, they can't be arsed kicking it properly just slap it on the boot will do. It's why Martin is a superior player, always kicks a drop punt.

Can't contest, can't get to the contest, can't chase, takes an eternity to make a decision...

He's cooked and has been for 2 months

That is a deadset excuse.
 
s**t thing is every team has played their gf vs WC this year. That better happen next year vs premiers

Happens every year, but most reigning premiers are Victorian sides, so they can bank wins with some stretches of games without travel.

It's ******* tough flying the continent and back every second week.
 
Negatives-

Petrucelle is the new Ash Smith. Pace to burn but lacks the skills, desire or footy nous to be a player.

Hickey thrashed by Ceglar around the ground

Was a repeat of the Collingwood game, smalls nowhere to be found at the drop of the ball when the heat was on
 
Positives -
- I thought Jetta can hold his head up high
- Willy was pretty good as well
- The last 10 minutes of the 1st quarter
- Possibly better positioned to get Tim Kelly (Clutching at straws)

Negatives
- Tooooo long to mention
 
If your not ashamed by the effort tnight your not a true supporter
Sure it was trash, but we played Richmond in a brutal slog at the MCG last week while the Hawks played an exhibition match against Gold Coast, and if any assistant coach knows how to beat our midfield its Sam Mitchell. We've got a week off to reset and Naitanui coming back. Harden the * up son.

Lol

This is a corker of a post, thank-you for the genuine laugh

We have to win 3 away games in a row, Have we ever done that before in finals
