Autopsy Round 24, 2023 : Hawks slow to a crawl

[Strapping Young Lad]

Not much went right today.

Still plenty of positives to take from the year, but not many today.


Go at it.

 

[moginie]

Well, as a positive, at least we won't have to sit through the off season reading complaints on this board about meaningless wins ruining our draft position.

 

[Max Powers]

I don't know how to delete a game.

S

 

[SSSSSS]

We've had some highs.
We've had some lows.

This game was meh.

 

[Coathanger]

When Kangaroos have more heart than you, you know it’s rubbish!

 

[SA HAWK]

Gutless & insipid effort.

 

[Liverbird]

Lack of effort. No tackling pressure. Beaten in contest.

Result was set half way thru first qtr.

Poor end to the year that showed promising signs.

 

[Dewnior]

Freo played their GF today. We played ours a few weeks back. Nothing left in the tank but can't question the effort. Fought it out to the end but ultimately outclassed and outcoached.

Very proud of the group this season. Another preseason into the 18-23 yos will be massive. Let's use the next 6 months to ready ourselves for an assault on finals next year.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Don't know quite what to make of that effort.

A meaningless game in reality but still showed up our big structural deficiencies down forward.

 

[theiaofseed]

More clearances, More contested possessions, More inside 50's

 

[Billyc]

After a good couple of months, today was a performance reflecting our 16th finish.

 

[eldorado]

I quite often stop watching games due to horrible tension and stress...a big game, with the opposition coming back, most often

Very rarely, due to disgust...can't remember the last one, but I'm sure there's been one or two

This was one of the only times I've turned it off (for the 3rd quarter) due to absolute boredom.

Nothing to play for, nothing worth watching...


Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

aren’t the same player?

 

[SSSSSS]

Our tackling and pressure was non existent.

I can't remember a more insipid pressure game. Just let Freo run around like the Globetrotters.

 

[Jet_black]

What a waste of time. Few things to cheer about. The umpires were atrocious.

 

[A1fromDay1]

Young team already on holidays can't fault em was a big last 3 weeks.

Positives no injuries from today and come preseason whole team have a clean bill of health.

 

[SSSSSS]

Kosi unlucky not to have three marks. Umpires really did him no favours.

Still think his papers are stamped.

 

[hawkman]

Safe boring footy that results in a 6 goal loss. Or a repeat of the 2019-21 period

 

[WWSD]

It’s time to move Koschitzke & Morrison on.

 

[WWSD]

Serong played reasonably well. He was one positive for today. A full pre-season and he’s potentially pushing for a spot in the best 22 next year.

 

[badboybobba]

When Lewis doesn’t play our forward line is dysfunctional, all this talk of chasing a key back has me wondering why aren’t we chasing a another key forward more so as it’s much more of a need

 

[Sixpence]

Worst game in the last two months (since Carlton).

Some people have short memories in the game day thread, saying it was our worst for the year. Wasn't even our worst against Freo.

Was really hoping to finish the season with a bang. Pretty disappointing.

 

[Brant]

In the ultimate irony, umpires will attend their 'Mad Monday' in paradoy, dressed as umpires.

What could be more AFL 'umpirish' than that?

Wasn’t a fan of the Ben King

proposal, but days like today make it hard to argue

 

[westhawk]

Gutless & insipid effort.

Spot on, no game is a nothing game, and this was a really disappointing way to finish what was a promising back half of the season. very few good players today. Moore, Noodle, Day(except his disposals) were good, and Hustwaite showed a lot of promise again, a lot of the others had already checked out.
