Autopsy Round 13, 2026: Hawks get leashed

[Jethro!]

1.11 in the second half!

Not including out on the full

 

[H00t]

Dogs are absolute frauds and we somehow produce a more fraudulent performance.

That’s entirely on us. Should be entrenched in the top 4, not fighting to hang on with an away game against the suns to come.

 

[cyrilicious]

hopefully boys learn abit of humility after that. cant be celebrating after half time

 

[Hawker_85]

Stoked to have that to mull over while I fly from Tokyo to Sydney tonight. ****ing hell. I'd rather we just got belted from the start over that.

 

[StackedHunch]

I blame meek

But seriously that side should kick a 100 every week, incredibly bad across the board at set shots, all these shootouts for coffee might need to up the ante

No need to pretend it's a joke. Meek is unworthy of playing for the Bombers right now, let alone us.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

The flaw of this side is they are arrogant and shouldn’t be. That was a gifted game. Embarrassing second half.

The complacency from a team that is yet to accomplish anything is crazy.

 

[Holy Rioli]

Also Meek and his goal kicking can **** right off. Time for Noodle with Chol support and more run. Hopefully after the bye we actually don't get too precious and make sure everyone that can play, does play. We've lost 2 games now being too safe at selection.

 

[Hawkers Hero]

Utterly insipid second half.

The positives - Newk, Chol and Wizards first half.

Hopefully Lewis ankle will be fine after the break, TB, Nash and Gunston to come in. No way can we play Meek and Hardwick has to be a backman except by surprise.

 

[rdhopkins2]

1 goal in a half does not a winning team make. Just mind boggling how we fell away.

 

[Since 2001]

Inaccurate kicking sums up the game, we shouldve won by 5 goals.

Go hawks

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

A lot of positives and improvements for the bye

Kicked themselves out of it Hawthorn

No positives.

 

[HawksILove]

That Lewis grab late was a clear mark- can’t get over that…
We were our own worst enemy with wasted chances but **** me the maggots got the dogs back in it then finished the job late

correct

 

[happyhawka86]

Dogs were absolutely shithouse, that’s gotta be one of the worst wins a team has walked away with. Why tf are we bombing into the forwardline when we’re massively outnumbered? Happens in every one of our losses. Umps turned the tide when we were well on top and just capitulated after that. Disgusting effort in the second half

 

[Leather Poisoning]

got abused for my thoughts that we lost it at selection, but we absolutely did and now we can kiss top 2 away and have to find a way to beat Freo and or Sydney to get any further than last year. To cute, too soft at selection.

Abused?

Do you mean someone disagreed with your opinion?

 

[Kuuz]

BRING YOUR MOUTHGUARDS AND YOUR KICKING FOR GOAL FOOTY BOOTS EVERY DAMN DAY UNTIL THE NEXT MATCH!

ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL KICKING FOR GOAL.

At this rate, bring the bloody spec savers out, because we clearly can’t see the sticks for anything

 

[Sonny Hayes]

We got sucked into the mind games, lost focus and kicked like shit

I was shocked to see Sicily start taking the piss and piking fights while the game was falling to bits around him.... Shocked

 

[Dewyyyyy]

No positives.

That’s excessive.

 

[Wingnut19]

As soon as I saw Scicily having a stroke on the field this result became inevitable.

How can the captain act like that. Seriously. Him and Newk couldn’t be further apart in terms of leadership out there

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Lack of discipline cost us. Lack of discipline against our opponents, lack of discipline kicking for goal.

Entry for goal. Tom Stewart areas

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

That’s excessive.

Whatever

 

[Hodgey 15]

Goddamn frustrating how we can not put teams away
3rd quarter we had early opportunities to be 5 goals up. Instead they kicked first goal and got their tails up.
We've shot ourselves in the foot before and got away with it. Not this time.
Maybe a loss we needed. Give the players a real wake-up call.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Contenders do not play like that. Absolutely pathetic after half time.

Once teams get on top we do nothing to change things up. Mitchell's only move is moving any of Hardwick, Weddle or Sicily up/back.

Sicily, just farqing lol.

 

[Hawko1979]

No one to blame but ourselves.
Ridiculous that players cannot execute simple skills such as set shots from 25 metres out

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Embarrassing. How can a top 4 team (who won’t last there for long if this continues) consistently perform so poorly in one of the most important skills of the game.

Feels a bit unfair to single anyone out but Meek, 3 shots for 0.1 is a killer.

3 shots from like 20m out and kicking 0.1

It is not at all unfair to single him out

 

[VandoHawk]

I felt we lost that game more than the Dogs won it but I don’t think I’ve seen a second half like that from a supposed contender in a long time.
