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

[Strapping Young Lad]

Super effort in the end.

Forward line took forever to actually turn up, but its a work in progress I guess.

O'meara huge for us.

 

[Brant]

Just got home & missed the game.

Can anyone tell me how Dan Howe played?

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Geelong are gone. They won’t make finals.

Hawks a genuine bottom 4 team.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Just got home & missed the game.

Can anyone tell me how Dan Howe played?

He didn't.

 

[James Colorado]

Any Geelong supporter who ever says "free kick Hawthorn" lacks the intelligence to understand irony.

 

[grumbleguts]

Bloody well played Hawthorn. Howe you don't need to read this, it wasn't aimed at you.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Gave up a five goal lead and lost by 5 points. Can’t be doing that as brave as the comeback was.

 

[Hawkinator]

"Howe" did we lose that one?

 

[Books]

No disgrace. Just lacked composure at some crucial moments.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

so is it a draw if we have better goal line cameras?

they were really bad but I feel bad for frost and Howe, tried their guts out but made one too many mistakes

love the fight. cats look terrible

keep ducking and losing finals ya flogs

 

[Baz_hawk]

Good game by the boys. Great pressure and deserved to win.
Geelong down two on the bench and somehow finished with an extra player. Strange.

 

[The A Team Van]

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.

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

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.

 

[SSSSSS]

Howe tries hard but just lacks the skills/decision making to be a best 22 player.

JOM was huge again.

 

[SA HAWK]

Too many players lack composure and skill.

Howe should never get another game again.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

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

 

[Hodginator]

If we played with that last quarter intensity for most the game, we would have won. End of story.

 

[CHUBBSS]

If O’Brien plays we win...

 

[Hawk Dork]

Missed by the non touch of Wingards goal

 

[cyrilicious]

Howe did we lose that??!!

 

[Viddiot]

Mixed feelings. We have 1 or 2 regular weak links every week. We played horribly for 3 quarters, good to see the Lads have a crack in the 4th quarter, just couldn't get the job done. As always, missed set shots early were the difference at the end of the day.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Played well. Umpires ******* terrible. * you Ray - don't tell me you follow Hawthorn ever again.

 

[Brishawk]

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

 

[Ridingthebumps]

*. Dan and Frost so so so dumb on multiple occasions. 100% cost us the game. Both of them do well when they instinctively go long. When they think about it ......,

 

[Kuuz]

A lot of the pieces are there, just need more game time and playtime together.

Drop Howe into non-existence and put in Cuz.

Otherwise, keep playing this forward line together, as they just need time.

Good signs from a lot of the youngsters, just lacking the composure and polish + a little creativity. We will get there. Good comeback and showing in the last was as good as a win.
