Autopsy Round 13, 2021: Hawks sink the Swans

[CHUBBSS]

Big boy wound back the clock - shows how needed the break was, a real captains game

 

[heh]

just so happy right now, bouncing around the loungeroom...

Woot!
So much to like tonight from whole team

 

[Maybloomer]

Was at the game and the best part of the whole night was watching Swans supporters doing the Collingwood Crawl with 15 mins left in the game.

 

[5ammy]

Clarko must really hate the Swans, always gets the boys going against them

 

[apiro]

Great percentage booster!

 

[Lickmesocks]

Where has that want and desire been?

Awesome tonight from start to finish.

 

[almuz]

Crazy how much difference cracking in and getting to the pill first can make on a side

Also how good were the clearances - makes life so much easier when we win the ball out of the middle with the 666 rule

 

[WillowSF]

We’re not great but not that bad. Glad for the players. It’s been a terrible season so enjoy the W. We don’t do wooden spoons...

 

[hawk for 37]

Hardwick’s flogging of the flog not getting enough love.
Outstanding team performance tonight.
Day will captain Hawks.
Now that we have stopped Bud and beat Swans, I will be cheering him on to the 1000. Love Bud.

 

[Rich]

Great game to be at and so proud of the effort from the boys.

Incredible difference between tonight and the GC game.

JOM was huge and the thing that stood out from the whole team were the tackles that STUCK!

BB, JOM, CJ, Scrimshaw and Frost were massive.

Shout out to Newcombe who more than did his bit.

Day is an awesome player. With a bit more hair tonight he reminded me of an old fave…Ray Jencke!

Day to me is more like John Kennedy Jr. A smart user of the ball with a bit of pace and dare. More attacking with run and carry than Smith and Birchall. Jencke was Mr. Reliable, kinda like Birchall. He was fed the ball because he made few errors.

 

[KAMSTAR HFC]

Big Boy floating up forward gives us the marking target we lack. Plucked a few nice grabs.
Our defence was great all night and we rebounded well through the midfield to forward.
We had the rub with umpires for once and it made a difference.
The commentary was some the worst I've listened to. Embarrassing really.

Poowong’s finest!

Just a little story about Poowong that involves my older son. Anyhow, the kid is/was a jet basketball player and before picking footy as number 1 and giving up Rep & State Basketball had the opportunity to go to high school in the USA on scholarship.

Anyways, back in day he is playing u12 (1) in the VJBL Championship and during that season, his team haven't lost a grading game to anyone, including Bulleen Boomers, Eltham Wildcats, Nunawading Vikings - none of the big junior Vic Metro clubs. In fact during the season proper, they only lost 1 game.

Anyways, they enter a tournament down on the Peninsula and his first game is up against Poowong who from our understanding have entered just for fun.
Well the boys were very confident that they would take care of business and at the start of the game were well and truly full of themselves.
Fast forward to half time their down by 20 and by the end of the game Poowong had well and truly handed them their ass.
They went on to win the tournament. Never seen them before that day and after that event never saw them again. They jumped everyone.
It taught him humility and to this day he remembers that ass kicking and the town of Poowong.
It must be something in the water - clearly not number 1’s.
All aboard Poowong for Town of Year 2021

The way we played tonight, that's our style.

We don't have the skilled ball users to play our old kick and mark game plan but if we just play at full pace and move the ball forward whatever way we can we look dangerous and the opposition don't like it one bit.

Some her might not like to hear it but this teams dna is more aligned with Richmond than our 3 peat team.

HODGEYROAD no where to be seen in a thread full of positivity.

Shame on you HODGEYROAD for not reporting in straight away. Forget your family, you need to come here and answer to random nuffs on the internet.

Definitely got the rub of the green tonight. Swans were undisciplined and panicked a lot so did give away many genuine free kicks. But to be fair we were getting some calls they weren't getting. But I do recall one of the last couple times they played us it was pretty much the complete opposite. So they can suck it.

And DGB plays Sunday

What a good weekend this is turning out to be

Playing for who?

Big Boy looks fantastic/rejuvenated since Reeves came in and now Ceglar playing that David Hale role (80% forward 20% ruck). Will prolong his career and makes life so much easier for Kosi and co. having that big body around them.

Would’ve loved to witness that- Swans supporters go the big sook like no other!!

 

[Strattonsphere]

anyone else get a sense of calm when the centre bounce tap goes JOM's side of the contest? Such a smooth individual

 

[Punts]

I’m joking you guys abou Mitchell I hope know

What an absolute s**t show Sydney were trading this bloke for an absolute flog like Tippett

Tippett was a basketballer that took a mark in the preliminary final and got a pay packet

Wasn’t a direct swap but the money for this tall basketballer was an absolute joke

One word dud

I heartily endorse this point of view. Especially the last 5 words.

 

[H00t]

Every player looks a lot better in a win.

Swans looked like they didn’t want to be out there.

But who cares!! Something to celebrate in an otherwise dull year

 

[spotthedot]

Very underrated performance by kosi

Agreed...he played a ripper as the only lead up fwd and pack marking fwd.
