Autopsy Round 21, 2021: Hawthorn smack Pies

[burton5]

Great performance, but feel we didn’t learn much more about our list today. Given the potential consequences of a win today, it would’ve been great to see a youthful side. Would have been great to see a team with some composition of the following names: Brockman (not as a sub), Morris, Reeves, Greaves, DGB, Downie, Jeka, Callow, Magginness or Newcombe.

Nash and Bramble (players we havent had as much exposure to) were good and gained an insight into their ability going forward. However the guys that dominated and ultimately got us the win were established stars which we already know what they can bring.

Heard Clarko make the comparison during the week to late 2006 re: meaningless wins in the final weeks. The difference is we had youth in Franklin, Roughead, Lewis, Birchall etc. playing during those games. Would’ve liked to see the same level of youth playing KEY roles in our side if we are to chalk up seemingly meaningless wins that hampers our draft position (ala 2019).

Never seen a wooden spoon in my lifetime and confident I never will

 

[Max Powers]

I'm so upset that we won.

It's digusting, if this winning s**t keeps happening I'm cancelling my membership!

 

[Roddy]

We had 11 players have more than 20 possies today, and 2 had 18. Don’t remember seeing that type of stat for a while.

 

[hardway]

Junk time Clarko special.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Great Win, when you beat the Pies

 

[Hodgey 15]

Bunga pretty happy with where we're at. That's good enough for me.

11 goal kickers, gotta love that stat!

Hopeful for the future, once again not perfect, but things are clicking especially in the midfield. The team doesn't have a full four quarter tank in it, but good signs we'll get there.

Are we seeing a little bit of Mitchell's coaching and Clarko's coaching in the current game plan? We just seem to be playing a lot better, even with all the outs we currently have.

Really? Not a single player in our best would have been over 28.

The game had the intensity you'd expect from two bottom 4 sides with three weeks to go, but positive signs from developing players:
- Bramble, Scrimshaw, Moore excellent
- Nash continuing to show good signs in the middle.
- Kosi kicked 3 despite not having a great day. That's promising

Mitchell clear BOG. He just loves the Pies.

Robert Harvey won't be getting the Collingwood job.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I see the continuation of our tradition of late wins dropping our first round pick.

At least the draft runs deep, and our youth are showing a lot.

Well, the last two years of us winning games late and screwing our draft has handed us Day and DGB.......so....lets screw away!

 

[Pessimistic]

Reverse schoey

 

[lethalselbow]

Draft picks v winning late season games. What would you prefer, is a tough decision

Not really. Late season wins. Discover the talent in your own list.

 

[WWSD]

There’s plenty of scope for improvement left.

IN:
Gunston
Breust
Sicily
Impey
Day
Jiath
Grainger-Barras
Reeves
Pick 3 or 4

 

[Jazzfan]

Fun game, good win, plenty to like.

Bramble is a serious steal. Moore is a jet. Scrimshaw continues to grow, and would be as good a kick as anyone in the AFL. Nash has arrived. Kosi gives everything.

Mitchell was outrageously good today. Brilliant.

I wonder if this late season form makes us an attractive option for Cerra? Or a FA in Billings or Kelly. Something I didn't think possible two weeks ago.

 

[Max Powers]

We won two games in a row. Woot woot!

We will have 3 picks inside the top 25 regardless of results. Great draft position. Player development isn’t always achieved at AFL level.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Okay so who wins most improved Moore or CJ?

Really good question.
Tough one to answer.

‘so the problem is the depth is better than 2006?

Has to be Moore, hate to take marks off someone for getting injured but Moorey has been one of the best performed small forwards in the comp all year and he was close to delisting last year.

[The Ghost Of Glenferrie]

We won two games in a row. Woot woot!

The Streak - St Kilda Style

 

[Pessimistic]

Let’s beat the doggies too. A bottom 4 team beating the potential grand finalists is going places

 

[Breustiful]

Moore was utterly prolific. 11 score involvements. Crazy stuff!
