Autopsy Round 20, 2021: Hawks roll the Lions

[Qlder_19]

Let's hope Pinky's knee is okay
Good to hang on for a much needed boost for the team

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Sydney turning it around against the Bombers. Love to see the Bombers blow a lead.

 

[Off The Couch]

That was good
Energy disappeared once punky got hurt and then Lewis left
Scrapped over in the end but still a win

Wingard looked very emotional
Is that clarkos last game

 

[MistyAvalon]

a win is a win but what a shame we let them back

 

[Kuuz]

Bossed the game for three quarters, and boys tired a bit and lost a bit of structure with Breust and Lewis going down.

Young sides will have the ups and downs, but had some really good development from the young lads.

Fingers crossed Breust is ok and just jarred his knee.

 

[MightyHawks86]

Never in doubt.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

BTW, I need some idiot in the media to tell me again why recruiting O'Meara and Wingard was a mistake.

 

[SSSSSS]

Just brushing up on my Gaelic but looking at the dictionary Nash is a direct translation to Chris Judd. Who would have thought?

 

[Bardo State]

A completely unexpected win spurred on by senior guys spending everything they had for Clarko in the first 3 quarters. Lots to like about what the younger guys did.

Calls of softness are misplaced. That group gave everything.

 

[Viddiot]

...I think what that demonstrated is for the past few seasons we've had a group that can be over-run for one quarter of each game. I think that dosen't have much to do with the Coaching, and everything to do with a developing team. I was thinking today was a good sign for the future, to knuckle down and send Clarko out with wins against the top 8 sides we play in preparation for the future.
But the inability to stop that run on from the Lions took the shine off it for me.

Anyone got any idea what Clarko was going crook about? I think there were a few occasions on the wing where we should have taking the ball over the line to kill the clock?

 

[eldorado]

What a performance for 3 quarters...

Last quarter....errrr...

 

[threesixpio]

Have the wood over Brissie don’t we

 

[Max Powers]

Loved the first 3 quarters. 4th was a bit of a let down but at least we got over the line.

Full credit to Nash, tore it up in the middle.

Hope Breust is OK.

 

[MinerBoy]

I mean, why would you keep a coach that can inspire the Box Hill seconds to beat a genuine premiership contender?

Maybe we are?

 

[Birdofprey]

Great win, albeit the huge injury induced fade out that gave me palpitations.

Some good signs again from a range of young players. Downside was Breust injury of course.

The Nash experiment has become the Nash midfield experience. Today seems close to what folks were describing his work in the mid at Box Hill.

The following stats, sorted by tackles, with his numbers pretty impressive. Plus 12 contested possessions out of that 23 disposals.



Edit: JOM and Wingard amazing work today as well. Well done boys.

 

[MadDawg]

Nash everything we were hoping for in the midfield when this was flagged in the VFL weeks ago. Begs the question of why it took so long for this to happen since his return to the side. Was this a Mitchell flex?

 

[Hodgey 15]

Showed some true character coming out like we did today.
We'll be just fine under S. Mitchell.

Wasn't just Nash's best game for us, was better than every other game he's played combined.

May he back it up....

 

[threesixpio]

TheFourPillars - you’ve been a big believer in Nash’s potential. You must be stoked

 

[SSSSSS]

This game shows two things.

1) Clarkson is the best modern era coach in his ability to pick the right match ups against any team. His ability to motivate is second to none.

2) Mitchell's ability to develop players and identify best use cases is exciting. Reeves going from a nepotism selection to showing signs of a potential star ruckman with pinpoint tap work, Nash going from a failed import to a bonafide midfielder.

Down week but I think our future is in good hands.

Didn't get to watch the game but followed the commentary and the updates on Bigfooty during the last quarter.

Loved the calls to move him back onto the ball after it appears he when into the forward line to cover for Lewis after he went off.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Good way to top off a shitty week.
