Autopsy Round 3, 2021: Hawks lose to Cats, Easter Monday

[Strapping Young Lad]

If we are early in a rebuild and those pricks are premiership contenders I reckon the rebuild is going alright, particularly as we were missing two of our top 5 in Gunners and Sicily.

Or the other possibility, of course, is Geelong are pretenders.

Maybe a bit of both.

Get Day and Gunners into this side and theres no way we are bottom 4.

 

[Since 2001]

Howe mvp for geelong.

 

[Sixpence]

I'm more ropable after this 5 point loss than I was with the 30 point loss last week!

That Wingard goal ... A behind ... * off! If that was given, Howe wouldn't have been in a position to * it up for us.

 

[MadDawg]

Is there an AFL memo that the Geelongatrics can't be pinged for holding the ball in their defensive 50?

 

[parsons nose]

Gotta love JOMs game was in everything

 

[SSSSSS]

We need two Wingard's.

 

[Brishawk]

If O’Brien plays we win...

O’Brien took the same number of marks as ceglar

 

[Kuuz]

Super game by omeara. Never gave up and gave us drive out of stoppages.

And more than anything, was EXTREMELY clean by hand and by foot.

One of the best games I've seen from him in Hawks colours. Hopefully builds on this. THIS is the JOM we want.

 

[daniel23]

Great effort but lacked the polish. Lewis and kosi both have the tools they just need to get stronger, brockman quiet early but thought he was big in the last quarter. Back to box Hill for howe and I know ceglar cops it but we would be so much more versatile playing tob as second ruck.

 

[Max Powers]

We we're cheering so loud and going nuts up the back of the Southern. So damn close.

 

[Milkshaker]

Out Howe in Cousins.

We are not great to watch atm. That was very painful.

 

[theiaofseed]

Brockmen had a shocker but you can tell he's a big moments player, he could sense that lifted, threw him self into every contest. I clicked out of the window too type that as he kicked the goal and missed it

 

[Brant]

We won’t progress with Howe and Ceglar in the team.

History suggests that's exactly what we'll do.

 

[Lickmesocks]

24-17 frees our way.

 

[LMGjr]

I resent the thread title.

We didn't lose, we gained. They lost. Once again in this easter s**t they are gifted the game.

They are done, we're just restarting.

Well done boys - you deserved to win that in the end, but once again the best three for the handbags were the umpires.

Phillips, Howe, mature bodies, that's all.

Take a bow O'meara, you were our only mid for the first half.

 

[Endorphin Machine]

Just got home & missed the game.

Can anyone tell me how Dan Howe played?

Howeler

 

[RoughysMullet]

Don’t reckon we can go forward with Daniel Howe

in the side, give Connor Downie a chance

 

[MinerBoy]

Despite lamenting the umps we probably got a few back in the second half.

In the end I think the game was played on our terms but we hurt ourselves too often with our own disposal and options.

Despite always coming from behind I felt like we were the better side for a large part of the game after 1/4 time. We just don't get reward for effort.

I think nearly all their goals came from umpiring or absolutely horrendous unforced errors by us. If we can play more of the daring footy with some cleaner disposal I think we have some wins to look forward to but we need to lift our sights on scoring more. Battling for 9 goals make it hard to win even if you have a lot of control.

Just got home & missed the game.

Can anyone tell me how Dan Howe played?

BOG performance















for Geelong

 

[Billyc]

That stings. Could have won.

Just a lack of polish, especially up forward, and a few too many really ordinary players.

O’Meara, Wingard, Impey, CJ, Morrison all great. The latter two are real positives this year - it’s what we need to see.

Worpel, Ceglar, Kosi, Frost, Howe all dreadful. That should be Howe’s last game. He tries but he’s not improving or taking us anywhere.

Young Brockman might get a Box Hill spell soon. He had a tough day but I loved seeing him hang in and bob up late. Lewis likewise struggled early but real reward for effort late. He’s our best key forward option at the moment.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

That was an awesome game of footy to watch.

Our effort was there all day (except the first 10 minutes or so).
Just kept going and going.

It's that kind of effort that you can build on as a coach. Seeing us play with that much momentum - I actualy don't care about the loss. Not at all.

Can blame umpires, Howe, the sun, whatever. The trick is to be so far ahead that those things don't matter. We're not there yet.

Special mention to morrison - one of his best games.

 

[Kuuz]

If O’Brien plays we win...

 

[Hawk Dork]

24-17 frees our way.

yet missed the ones that would have given us goals directly in front

 

[Brishawk]

Out Howe in Cousins.

We are not great to watch atm. That was very painful.

I’d bring in Downie. We need his skills and clean hands. His speed also a real need.

 

[Lickmesocks]

At the end of the day Clarko is the one who keeps picking Howe, at least frost has more good than bad, Howe is just staggeringly slow minded and leg speed.

Correct. Been saying it for a long time. Howe is like Tommy Murphy trying to play
Midfield. Absolute Barry Battler.
