Autopsy Round 20, 2023 : Hawks stunned by Saints

[Strapping Young Lad]

Lost the game in the first quarter.


Decent fight back, but fell away again once the momentum was lost.

Congrats Will Day on game 50.


Go at it.

 

[Roddy]

Rarely, rarely do you see such a monumental display of kicking straight and directly to the opposition than when we play at the moment...

 

[local hack]

In Breust we trust!

 

[A1fromDay1]

It's a long season for these young inexperienced kids, Mcdonald, Ward, Weddle, Mitchell & Brockman all not at their best.

But with games consistency will come

 

[user33]

Chad 26 disposals at 81%, 2 goals and 5 tackles. Huge effort.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

It was a game of two halves…or something.

 

[WWSD]

Brilliant coaching idea to drop Scrimshaw when no one other than Sicily can take intercept marks.

The backline works better as a unit when Scrimshaw plays.

 

[Hodginator]

A few too many passengers today.

Some of the young guys looked pretty cooked.

Thought Blanck was really good when he came on. Too bad he didn’t start on the ground.

Day, Punky and Worpel rounding out the bests.

 

[SSSSSS]

We aren't going to win games playing two good quarters and two atrocious quarters.

Fifty more games of collective experience and we are going to bring it to a level where we can play three good quarters. Hundred games of collective experience and we will be playing four quarter footy.

Too many passengers. Impey with his worst game of the season. Bramble is a VFL player. Frenchy had a mate and I wouldn't mind him spending the rest of the season working as the main man at BHH because he's a liability in the clinches at the moment.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Disappointing bookends to the game but what we’re seeing is textbook from young sides, particularly young midfields; inconsistency. As we pile on the games, we’ll continue to improve.

Was really surprised a lot of our supporters thought we’d smash them today but they’re sitting top 6 for a reason. Despite a few outs the Saints just had to win today, I never really thought they’d let the opportunity slip.

 

[Dewnior]

Did Bramble get injured? Can't recall seeing him after half time

 

[Kuuz]

Hoping the discussion between Sammy and Bramble/Frost, after this game, goes a little something like this:



Genuinely though, please just keep those two at Box Hill. My brain cannot take it anymore. I can stomach Bazball, but Frostball is not safe for family viewing.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

We lost this game at selection i feel, blanck should of been in the starting team.

The boys are learning more about there capabilities and whom will be a part of our next premship attack.

Sign Ryan up for 2024, an a good game for Wingard, Bruest, Day and Worpel.

 

[Baz_hawk]

We play a very aggressive game style and when we have such poor ball use it easily falls apart.

A few questionable coaching moves this round. Dropping Scrimmers, bringing in Bramble, subbing Mitchell.

Ryan looks like he has a future and Day is gonna keep getting better for us.

 

[Yardie]

A tale of two Sams. One got selection and structure wrong and the other killed the momentum.

Need another star inside bull for when teams put the clamps on Newcombe.
They sent Steele to him in the last and we had no answers…
Need to try and pry the no 1 pick for Harley IMO…

Papers stamped for Bramble you would think… rather see Scrimshaw in the side

 

[hawkhamlet]

Bramble should not get a new contract. His disposal is nowhere near good enough.

 

[PlayHard]

Dreadful performance by both players and coaches alike.

 

[Dewnior]

Genius decision having Blanck as sub wtf Should have started the game and Frenchy sub.

 

[Spursfan]

Disappointing to firstly not stem their 1st quarter onslaught, then get back into the game and fall away again.

First look at Ryan for me and pretty happy with how he went.

 

[SSSSSS]

If I ever see a player of Brockman talent handball to 200cm player in the goal square I will go postal.

Brocky just seems like he's trying too much.

 

[Ridingthebumps]

Bramble 1 possession after half time. Great sub choice Sam. Then again him not touching the ball meant less turnovers, but unfortunately that disease was passed over to the Imp and Cmac.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

We need to get players in the team who can play both ways not one way, The ball gets out of our forward line way too easily, only forward to me who was any good defensively was Wingard

I dread when we kick a point, you can guarantee the opposition are going to get an inside fifty

 

[hawkman]

Did everyone have a falling out at the club? Never seen a club try to kill each so often with centring balls on top of teammates heads

 

[VandoHawk]

A really poor defensive effort from our midfielders. Simply didn’t work hard enough and left our defenders vulnerable. Their fast, unpressured ball movement meant we couldn’t get our run and gun going from half-back. They all shut down our most important player.

Our small forwards were potent offensively but kept letting their opponents run off them. NWM didn’t seem to have an opponent on him despite lining up against Brockman & Mackenzie.

A few perplexing coaching decisions too. Subbing Mitchell. Dropping the Sinclair tag but not tagging NWM. Letting Sicily get hard tagged for an entire half before moving him higher up.

Despite good patches I felt we really lowered our colours today against ordinary opposition. Loved the look of Ryan.
