Autopsy Round 13, 2026: Hawks get leashed

[ImCheatingToWin]

Connor MacDonald I feel has really dropped in form the last few weeks. He's got to stop those little fluffy kicks. Not targeting him specifically, poor team effort tonight all round. Just thought id point him out.

The kick from.C mac to Lewis in the 2nd quarter

Thankfully Lewis and Watson managed to fix it up

Classy fans getting stuck into Chol… disgusting

Like he's going to reply to.an inconsequential stain like you.

Glad I missed this game.

Sounds like it was a frustrating night. Our fade outs are concerning. We continually fail to kill teams off.

Probably not worth me watching the replay.

Watch the last 10 minutes of the second then burn the device you watched it on.

Shown we are a good team not a great team.

Bloody disappointing.

It’s good the players are calling this shit out now and outing the abusers online. Say stuff like that from your keyboard and reap what you sow. Like to see him say that stuff to Chol’s face and see how quickly he finds himself waking up in hospital.

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

We really needed to go 3-1 at the very least in the last month or so of footy.

Dropping the Dees game was a killer.

Well the game we have pencilled in to lose, we must now win.

Gold Coast away.

Haven’t won at Carrara since our 2014 premiership year. 100+ point smashing.

Ignoring this stuff is usually the best policy not amplifying it. You can see how much he wants a reaction. By reposting it you just give him what he wants.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Manifesting positive xscore variance in the second half of the year. For a team who moves the ball so well by foot I just don’t get how we can be so wasteful infront of goal. Maybe King is the answer after all.

Kicking the ball to a teammate downfield is a reflex action, but when they see the goal posts, suddenly they start thinking about it, and that's where it falls down. Kicking for goal should be reflex, something done over and over again in practice, but it isn't.

Squiggle still has us finished top 4 if we win our expected games.

Will mean a road trip though.

We're facing a tough battle for top 2

 

[Whats a Battle]

Some of the melts here are pretty laughable.

We dominated the game but failed to capitalise which is absolutely frustrating but saying that we "didn't turn up to play", "disgusting effort" or "not a serious football team" is just plain wrong and frankly stupid.

Thanks. Bang on. We were inaccurate and still we were one ridiculous shitty umpire call away from a draw. The sky is not falling.

Edit: “Not a serious football team” is a phrase that only applies to Essendrug.

 

[local hack]

Half time hubris. Love Watson so much. But sometimes being a mouthy little prick comes back to bite you hard. Just let your footy do the talking - dont do the Papley flog things. . The whole team didnt walk the talk in the second half. Revolting. Thought this sort of shit might have been behind us.

What happened with Watson? I am away at a work function and watched the game on my phone with no audio

Considering the guy that said it has changed his username and profile pic I’d say he’s quietly shitting his pants about repercussions

Bloody disappointing.

That pretty much sums it up.

Needs to be called out then the person banned from both attending football and holding any form of membership.

Can never look more than 2 weeks ahead. Said it before the bulldogs game. We had to win tonight and we didn’t. We have to win against GC away. It is jsut how it goes.

GWS at the g no certainty either as we are struggling to put four quarters together at the home of football. 3 very ordinary performances for our standards since the Geelong game.

[Stottzy]

They sent Freijah to Newc at half time, really blanketed him.

Na I'm sorry, there was some absolute lazy/average possessions from him with no pressure on to start that half. Like I said, wasn't alone but you could just feel they were not switched on.

Looking ahead to the next 6 games.

• Round 15: Gold Coast SUNS at People First Stadium - Friday, 19 June at 7:40 PM AEST
• Round 16: GWS GIANTS at MCG - Friday, 26 June at 7:40 PM AEST
• Round 17: Melbourne Demons at UTAS Stadium - Saturday, 4 July at 1:15 PM AEST
• Round 18: Carlton Blues at MCG - Saturday, 11 July at 7:35 PM AEST
• Round 19: Richmond Tigers at MCG - Sunday, 19 July at 1:10 PM AEST
• Round 20: Essendon Bombers at MCG - Saturday, 25 July at 4:15 PM AEST

Gold Coast will be a big ask.
GWS we should beat.
Melbourne is a 50/50 based on last time.
Carlton is a must win.
Richmond is a must smash.
Essendon is a must obliterate.

If we don’t win 5 of these minimum we are making up the numbers in finals.

Now bring on the Gold Coast in 2wks!
We should have Gunston, Barrass & Nash available then too.

 

[H00t]

That was an electrifying burst in the 2nd where we kicked 5.2. Problem was we scored 4.15 in the other 3 and a half quarters.

The 2nd half will rightly be talked about but our first quarter was every bit as dross. We were dominating and should have been 30+ up at quarter time not 2 points.

 

[HeHateMe]

Did anyone notice Sicily celebrating a dogs goal, mocking Lewis?

His head just wasn’t in the game.

That performance by Lewis to completely rattle Sicily won them the game.

They seem to rattle alot of the boys and unfortunately it can ripple out since we have a close knit group.

 

[HawthornHawk]

What happened with Watson? I am away at a work function and watched the game on my phone with no audio

Referring to his opponent in a half time interview he said 'I don't care if he talks so long as he walks in the second half.'

Watson went on to have two touches and no goals in the second half.

 

[H00t]

That’s 6 points we’ve left out from not kicking straight then dropping our heads and not working hard defensively.

Almost certainly costs us any shot at top 2 and could easily cost us top 4.

If we had stuck at it in both games and kept the pressure on, it would have eventually turned our way and we’d be 8 points clear of 4th.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Both those games saw Hawthorn burn opportunities to solidify their dominance which ultimately openned the door for the opposition to build momentum when combined with their own high accuracy in front of goal.

While the dogs looked better than Collingwood, especially in the middle, I think Hawthorn was the main contributor to their inability to win both matches as opposed to the opposition.

Yes but Fly took Gunston out of the game. Our forward line looked clogged the entire time and we never got (meek aside) a good look at it. The tactic was discussed on one of the footy shows this week.

That sounds far too authoritarian to me. Just let him waffle to himself like a loon.

 

[Bedi]

I prefer watching the replays of lost games now. You learn more. I never used to watch them… however you can really see who is real and who isn’t when the heat is on.

KOLOKOTRONIS

You are a nilhist

 

[H00t]

That sounds far too authoritarian to me. Just let him waffle to himself like a loon.

I couldn’t disagree more. There’s no way Chol or any other player should be subjected to such abuse.

Banning them is as much about stopping anyone else getting the idea it’s ok to message players like that.

Got mouthy about his opponent during a half time interview. Bad choice in any case, but especially considering he disappeared in the 2nd half. Might have been latched on to by Dogs - who knows?
