Autopsy Round 3, 2023: Hawks skin the Roos

[grumbleguts]

Gee, Day is elite in the guts. BOG by a long way. Moore not far behind

Brockman should never set foot on a VFL ground again.

Um... which is it?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Day and Moore were excellent.

Sicily, Ward, Newcombe, Scrimshaw, Nash and Brockman were really good too.

 

[Breustiful]

We love Kent.


GAGF norf

 

[Geead]

I LOVE YOU BROCKMAN

 

[Hodginator]

Um... which is it?

I’ve had a few and and I’m excited. Cut me some slack.

 

[Stranglers]

Lovely to see all the hawks boys getting around Dan Howe at the end of the game by the way.

 

[killerspud]

Now can we sue Damian Barrett for defamation (seriously tanking...after two rounds of football)

For Damian Barrett, David King and Leigh Montana I have prepared a bag with all of the dicks which they are welcome to snack on

Go hawks

 

[DrSalt]

Great game to watch, worth the 3am wake up to watch it

Great games by Day and Moore, though our system tends to struggle when pressure is applied to us

 

[Slysh]

I love Sir William Day

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Old man Goldy gave both rucks a hiding. Meek especially was disappointing.

 

[H00t]

140 marks this week compared to just 85 last week.

Seemed like a completely different style of play. Happy to go slow and possess the ball rather than playing on and going quick like last week.

 

[ralphwiggum]

I liked how all our 'ins' had significant impact

 

[HappyHawk_1]

Day & Brocky - genuinely elite.

Greene making progress, CMac also showing a bit in the 2nd half.

Moore was just himself and I love it, whilst Scrimma has confirmed he belongs and needs to be locked into the side.

Our light of frame players like Day and Morrison look so much stronger through the core this year.
MacDonald was so bloody clean in that last quarter when the game was on the line, he one touches everything.
Day just keeps getting better, will be our best player by seasons end and every chance to be a top ten mid in a few years.
Brockman was just awesome even better than his stats suggested which were bloody good anyway, just does so many smart taps and bumps and his vision to spot up better options is top class
Scrimshaw and Morrison welcome back, they made our defence structure so much more solid. Allowed to attack and structure up so much better.

 

[threesixpio]

NEVER IN DOUBT

Hmmm…it kinda was

 

[TylerDurden]

Wow. Can't believe we won!! Amazing feeling again!!
Day is an absolute star. Pure mid now.
Frosty was good!!
Backline immense.
Loved Brocky.
Bring on the Cats!! Can't wait!!!

This is Hawthorn!!!!

 

[HedgeFund]

Pleasing to see the change in ball movement. More patience. Enabled us to defend the ground better too.

Brockman and Greene up forward were excellent, but don’t discount the efforts of big Lloyd and to a lesser extent Ned.

They made plenty of contests in the air which prevented the North defenders from intercepting as much as Essendon and Sydney.

Honestly - LDU out probably did make a fair difference but in the end you can only play the 22 they put on the park and we clearly deserves to win.

The beers will taste much better tonight as a result.

Well done HAWKS!

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Still not sold on brockman, but bloody hell it was a smart game. Led to the right spots, chased hard. Will make a believer of me very quickly if he keeps that up

Impey and bramble the turnover kings. At least Impey finally put his body on the line

 

[Billyc]

Important win. The best part was responding in the 4th when it looked to be slipping.

First half was really good. Midfield was on top and half back line was terrific. CJ was the prime mover in the first half. But in the second half, North upped the pressure and we battled with it. Ball movement and use dropped right off and North put the clamps on CJ. I felt Day and Mackenzie really kept us ticking in the third. The response in the 4th was great.

That was Day's best game of footy. Real break out game in the middle as he won clearances, tackled and got plenty of it, including at important stages. He was BOG.

Newcombe and Moore were good. Mackenzie is exciting and I liked Ward's and McDonald's games.

Brockman makes a difference. He's a dangerous player who can hit the scoreboard.

We won't get many better chances this year, so i'd have been flat if we let that slip.

 

[WWSD]

A star in the making.

11 disposals - 6 marks - 3 tackles - 3 goals - 1 behind

Words fail

 

[Todman]

WE'RE CURRENTLY FOUR POINTS ABOVE GEELONG !

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Mackenzie with 9 tackles, huge effort.

He faded in terms of getting touches in the second half, but he kept working hard. Hopefully it's enough to secure the RS.

 

[VandoHawk]

Almost shot ourselves in the foot with our finishing skills.

The backline seemed much better organised and our midfield is building extremely nicely. Newcombe, Day, MacKenzie, Ward is going to be an elite core.

Crying out for a key position player forward. Mitchy Lewis can't come back quick enough.

This is Hawthorn!!!!
