Autopsy Round 5, 2025: Hawks refuse to join Gather Round

[Strapping Young Lad]

Didn’t turn up after the bye.

Beaten everywhere.
Midfield smashed.
Player’s foot skills and decisions poor throughout.


Onto next week.

P.s zero tolerance to players being insulted

 

[Bugs1977]

It's unlikely we'll win but this is a little premature

 

[VandoHawk]

That first half was the worst we’ve played since the Gold Coast game. Just looked slow and disinterested. Port came ready for the fight and blew us out of the water at the contest.

Second half was better but the lack of intensity early was concerning.

Glass half full says that loss will remove hubris because it was far removed from our four performances this year. Glass half empty says we’re very vulnerable without Day.

Geelong game will tell us where we’re at.

 

[user33]

No reason to overreact. We didn’t show up in the first half.

Gunston BOG. Excited to see Huss in the guts next week.

 

[Billyc]

Soft and lethargic performance. Can’t be up every week but the nature of that first half was very disappointing.

Dropped to 5th. Hopefully a one off stinker because if we dish that rubbish up against an actual good side like Geelong it will be ugly.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Weak as piss

And if anyone thinks we’ll knock off the Cats…………….

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Play the kids

 

[OnTheRocks]

Out chol

 

[Yuley95]

I mean, once we turned up, we actually played ok

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Weak as piss

And if anyone thinks we’ll knock off the Cats…………….

12 goals. We'll smash em. HOKBALL

 

[Blaze Storm]

We need more grunt in there for next week. Could have won that one easily but just didn't apply anywhere near the effort required.

 

[grumbleguts]

That was sickening and I feel sick. Who else feels sick?

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

“Only” losing by 30 after the most insipid first half in recent memory is just about the only positive I can take from this “effort”

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Can’t play half a game of footy and expect to win.

That first half was one of the worst I’ve ever .. ever sat through..
I want a refund on my plane ticket for that effort.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Pathetic performance, would expect a bounce back next week.

Love you Gunston! Absolute Hawthorn legend through and through!

 

[Nugett]

Very poor first half. A bit better in the 2nd. Really hate these campaigners

 

[peetoo]

I heard the SA premier got to choose the Sunday fixture

AFL corruption knows no bounds or fairness

 

[Jethro!]

Such a disappointing effort. Our pressure has been our saving grace all year and it was just non existent today. Teams are hunting us and we have to deal.

 

[I wanna pash Nash]

Terrible first half. Better second. Could have almost snagged it at the end.

Great to see Gunners get another bag.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

That sucked.

But we've got 4 wins in the bank. It's the right time of the season to learn a lesson.

First half was so bad I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
The team definitely pushed right to the end though which was great to see.

Moore, Worpel, Newcombe, Meek - instrumental in the fight back.

It is what it is. Not the worst game I've ever seen.

 

[ahhhhhh]

Moore full time mid next week

 

[Hawthorn23]

Been a while since we have been this poor. Good wake up call, comes at the perfect time - silver lining is we are 4-1 and not 0-5

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

I heard the SA premier got to choose the Sunday fixture

AFL corruption knows no bounds or fairness

Reckon we'll see a repeat next year

 

[Endorphin Machine]

****ing angry at that performance. Clearly were not as good as we think, and still missing pieces . Pepper and Francis owned us tonight. How tf do we let a team get to that start? We got some work to do , totally spooked by the occasion

 

[Flamin Joe]

Could be worse. Clarko could still be in charge and we get to hear how we lacked polished and Port are a great side.
