Autopsy Round 6, 2022: Hawks fall over against Swans

[macdaddio]

CJ and Reeves would’ve been handy today!
Can’t wait for Bramble to come back in!

Your whole post speaks about fitness.

Fair point.

More meaning,our fitness was fine last week.
Just think it’s more fatigue than fitness

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Honestly I think what today showed us that Sam has done a stellar job to get us to 3/3 this season with the obvious issues in our list (midfield looking in your general direction).

I doubt many other coaches could have got a team whose core midfield consists of a couple of mid sized, mid paced accumulators and an exciting but raw mid season rookie to that kind of record.

So the positive is I think we have a good coach (glass half full thinking here)

 

[lethalselbow]

5 changes was always going to upset team balance. Hopefully a couple back for next week.

Your whole post speaks about fitness.

The final Q pumping is about being under sustained pressure for an extended period before the whole 'process' finally falls apart and the confidence is gone.

We've shown already this year we can battle games out right to the end and even fight back against deficits.

I seriously don't think fitness is a problem. Perhaps conceding that a few injuries to best 22 this week mean we have brought in a few players who are perhaps underdone (Day, Impey, Lynch, Wingard)... but I don't see this as a fitness issue across the squad.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Ned Long looks ripe for next week!

I understand that. Was always going to be tough after last week. Same happened after Carlton.

Like to know why the clock stayed at 20 sec in the first. It moves and they don't goal. Add the two shady boundary calls and that's three goals. Makes a difference and these aren't 'grey' areas.

If you or anyone else can be bothered, I'd suggest you make a video clip of this and try and get it to get a bit of traction of twitter. Attention needs to be brought to things like this, tag the guys at Hawks Talk Pod and Hawks Insiders and it'll get attention.

No matter what I am pretty stoked with our new coaching staff and I am still really pumped about our young players. Of course we are going to have blow out moments. This is a really young team. Faith

 

[SA HAWK]

Swans just have far more top end talent than us.

We know how they got it.

It is what it is.

 

[chopflop]

They certainly ronked home in the end.

Not too fussed. Loved the first quarter. Season will be full of ups and downs. All good.

Thought their inside mids really turned it their way. Parker and mills just killed us

 

[The hands of stone]

Swans are a probable top 4 side and 12-24 months further along than us .

Their class across the field showed . Was a decent schooling after 20 minutes into the first 1/4.
Thought we battled manfully and got overwhelmed.

Young guys look tired and possible need a break and reload. Plenty of winnable games after the Dees .

Ol' mate Ronke kicking 3 summed it all up

Fitness is cardio, strength, fatigue management etc. We're rebuilding and this will be a feature for some time IMO. Outcoached today but also couldn't keep up. It's not a slur it's just part of being a rebuilding team sometimes. Small sample size too at the moment - I think we'll fade as the season progresses. All about getting games into players and enjoying the process.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Absolutely garbage finish.

Worpel to the VFL for at least a month.

I'm useless at this sort of thing but it happened. Commentators didn't mention it. Was a legit mistake.

 

[Maybloomer]

And out of bounds

Yeah, those rules are like, so 2 o’clock. The AFL have an extensive review every hour or so and make the necessary changes for the betterment of their game.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Disappointing. Let's see how we respond next week.

 

[Glebehawk]

I know everone loves Morrison and he does do some nice things here and there but how many mistakes does he make every week. We would be a better side without him in it.

He’s had a solid year, but is an extremely one sided player. Got caught a few times today.

 

[Glebehawk]

Stopped winning it out of the middle and stopped running to provide options. Basically the ball lived in their forward line and it was only a matter of time.

There was one play in the last quarter where Sicily took an intercept mark. He looked around for a solid 10 seconds gesturing for someone to provide an option, nobody did and he kicked it long out of frustration. They took an intercept and rebounded for a goal.

That was the ball game right there. Pretty indicative of lack of leadership.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Disappointing. Let's see how we respond next week.

Don’t expect much. Young team, 5 day break and knackered, reigning premiers

 

[kazzooka]

Impey 2 touches? Not ideal.

Not fit.

Young squad, tough game last week. Vs a good team, after a training drill and extra 2 days. Will become a grind for the kids as the season rolls on

 

[Mrzohs]

Midfield looked good early, but really fell away.

-13 in clearances.
-26 inside 50's.

We need big Ned back, and we need to find more mids.

100% we need to be bold and try different looks in the center built around Duke and the younger mids.
I can't look at a center square with Tom, Jom,Worpel set up again.
The quicker we have a healthier list I hope we get to see some off our line breaking dynamic players in the middle.

 

[hamohawk1]

Really think if we don't want to play Chad in the middle more often he is just under-utilised up forward.

 

[derp de derp]

Absolutely garbage finish.

Worpel to the VFL for at least a month.

He can take a few friends with him, anyone that has 5 turnovers or less than 5 possessions needs to question where they are at.
