Autopsy Round 13: Hawks v the SA 25 (Port Power)

[Strapping Young Lad]

Couldn’t help but give a tip of the hat to the worst umpiring display I’ve seen for a while.

Great effort from the side though. Much better.

Go at it.

Edit: not suggesting a conspiracy against Hawthorn, but that was a diabolical display of missed free kicks and poor decisions.

 

[Jaeger]

Gallant effort.

Outnumbered in the end.

 

[LunchboxLegend]

No free kicks in one half of footy. I hate this sport.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

CJ had amazing intent in the last quarter. He fixes up a few things re kicking and decision making and he'll be very good

 

[Tuck In]

Port 19 Hawks 8. There's the game.

 

[Slysh]

I can live with that, brilliant effort and we looked much better at times in attack.
Anyone who thinks we are tanking is absolutely wrong.

 

[MinerBoy]

Second half 14-0??

Hard to win playing against 25. Happy with our efforts.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Played against 21 as well

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

unacceptable

i've never seen anything like it

great fight by the boys

but simply putrid

 

[WWSD]

Another great game by O’Brien

6 disposals - 4 dropped marks - 1 goal

 

[Hodginator]

The effort was all there. Just couldn’t get the win unfortunately.

 

[theiaofseed]

I said it before and I'll say it again port are the biggest pretenders we've seen since Adelaide in 2012.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Played against 25 as usual

 

[christoff91]

Great effort by the us. Awesome job considering our injuries and inexperienced team. Port look super average. Limped over the line with the help of the umpires. They will get obliterated come finals.

Can’t fault the intensity
They came to play with some big names out and did the colours proud

When was the last time a club went a half without a free

Thought all the ins did themselves proud

think cousins has to stay in
Hartley is a good in for Sicily

Port are the great pretenders. Barely beat our VFL heavy side with absolutely horrendous umpiring.

20-8 free kick count too, we haven’t been able to buy a free all season. Hopefully Clarko rips into the umpires.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Burgoyne's goal from outside 50 was one of my favourite moments of the year. Rode it all the way home from my couch. Brilliant play

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Ben McEvoy had 17 hit-outs to advantage, the most so far this season. Not bad for a defender.

 

[TazHawk15]

Another great game by O’Brien

I agree.

 

[stonehawk]

That’s 13 consecutive frees to port
No frees in the second half for the Hawks

Really good effort, Hawks. A few shitty bounces go our way plus a couple of umpires that understand the game and we may have had this one.
Hold your heads up high.

 

[grumbleguts]

If Mollison ever umpires another Hawthorn game, there's something corrupt in AFL house. It's like letting a Ku Klux Klan member umpire Cameroon vs Germany in the world cup.

 

[extractasam]

Just disappointing that an awesome effort gets no reward purely because of terrible umpiring

 

[eldorado]

I'm normally loathe to whinge about umpiring, but on this occasion....

First time I've evr gone to check out the free kick count at the siren..MinerBoy beat me to it.

FFS...
