Autopsy Round 14, 2021: Hawks fail against Bombers

[Strapping Young Lad]

Almost doubled in clearances halfway through the last, and it tells a big part of the tale today. Backline and forward kept us in for large parts of the game, while Essendon continued to have it all their way out of the middle.

The most frustrating part for mine, is that we seem either reluctanct or completely incapable of closing the opposition down in there.




Go at it.

Round one was more fun tbh

 

[Slysh]

Cousins is a great VFL footballer but he is not AFL standard, we do not need to see more of him this year.

Also Ceglar is just not someone you can rely on week to week. Any given week he can have his pants completely pulled down, no thanks.

Reeves in please.

* Tasmania right off

 

[Dewnior]

Lack of polish and inefficiency cost us again

 

[Mojo]

Midfield needs a lot of work.
That said, bombers have no depth and we have some real promise in the wings so not too concerned long term.

Fingers crossed CJ is alright.

Bad kicking bad football

I ******* hate our midfield

 

[hamohawk1]

Bad kicking is bad football. Looked a bit spent being second at the ball too.

 

[kenneje]

I'm generally a really positive supporter, but I can't remember seeing a midfield get pumped as bad as we did today. Not just the lack of clearances, but getting nowhere near them.

... if you're getting smashed, man up and stay tight.

 

[SA HAWK]

DGB time next week.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Just not good enough.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Sorry to burst everyones bubble but 'Duke' is a mile off it at present. Tackling is nice but you have to actually get the ball if you play in the midfield.

It has been that way for 18 months, 0 accountability.

Jake 'the full frontal lobotomy' Stringer. Has there ever been a bigger deadshit to play the game?

 

[Viddiot]

The usual hoodoo...missed set shots early on and then surrendering late goals right at the end of quarters.
Glad CJ isn't hurt.
Giants and Freo winning takes some of the sting out of it. Meh.

 

[bris tarangau]

How is CJ?

 

[Hawks1994]

Inaccuracy in front of goal, some straight up bemusing umpiring decisions, the white trash king Stringer inflating his already over-hyped ego, all combining to a loss to this ridiculous club is a shite way to end the weekend

[SSSSSS]

Reeves in please.

 

[hamohawk1]

Man how the f*ck did we win the free kick count. I know we got kissed on the dick last friday but it was shambolic today, particularly in the 4th. Wouldn't have won us the game but f*ck me dead if you can't honestly say we weren't robbed of a few.

Him and Gary Rohan clear 1-2

Has been a rough week

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

DGB and another year or two of development and our backline is going to be easily the best in the comp

sucks to lose to the scum but exciting times ahead

Agree on every count.
