Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 4 - Pies v Hawks Sun April 7th 5:10pm AEST (AO)

[Swanssince91]

Unsighted when the heat was on late in the quarter

Yeah, I was kidding

 

[HairyO]

It doesn’t matter how they win at the moment as long as they get wins.
Plenty of time to build on their game-plan and build confidence. It’s only early.
Wouldn’t want to play them in the finals if they make it.

Or it glosses over serious problems which dont get recognised...

They'd want to get on their bike's and come good soon otherwise they'll be 5-8th.... dare I say it the new 9th ?

Unsighted when the heat was on late in the quarter

And was only involved in 10 passages of play (all those 1-3 plays inflated his stats)

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Who kicked that last ball into the 50? Weddle?
Has had a terrible game…

It was Scrimshaw.

Collected it on 50 running on a 45 to the goal, kicked a sack into open space in front of Quaynor.

Baffling kick.

I actually think tree press escaped there, massive 2nd half from the hawks, just making silly mistakes. Mollinson doesn't help.

AFL needs to look at a rule change which prohibits teammates of the player currently in possession from flopping on the pack to keep the ball from spilling out, similar to the ‘third man in’ rule in rugby league.

Didn’t you say at the start of the year they were going back to back?

The next 3 weeks will clearly say where they are at.

Port essendon then carlton all at the G.

If I make 20 predictions one has to be right

They did. They introduced it, it got paid once (against freo vs the hawks), and then they removed it due to freo sulking

 

[nylexbandit]

Makes absolutely no sense that you're never pinged for walking it across the line (of which you are in complete control) but you are pinged for kicking 50m up the field and it taking a sideways bounce over the line (of which you can't control).

My biggest bugbear. Either you think players should have to keep it in or you don’t. The walking and tapping it over is almost always more egregious

 

[catters05]

Hawks definitely had their chances to win that one.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Ginivan smiling and laughing after losing would boil my piss if I was a hawthorn supporter

Didn't bother me. Just as it didn't bother me when Meek and Schulz were sharing a laugh, or when scrimshaw was laughing with his arm around Mitchell, or when Maynard embraced Hardeick and had a good chuckle together.

Stop taking yourself so seriously, you're not important enough.

I do agree, and they did well to get out of today with the four points but jeez they looked average late

In saying that, who is actually any good right now?

GWS the outlier, but after that, it’s a raffle for 2nd between:
Geelong, Port, Carlton, Melbourne, Sydney and Freo

A lot to transpire over the season, so plenty of time for the Pies to get it in order.

Should have won it... Literally missed a shot 30m out directly in front to br infront within the last few minutes

Purely to stop Collingwood I’m guessing?

Will still make all australian

Hate saying it but GWS are a bloody good side

Apart from Collingwood at home, they haven’t beaten much. Easy start to the season playing WCE and North in their first four games.

Agreed, we will find out about Carlton when we play them

 

[Swanssince91]

Their squad is pretty handy.
Best key defenders, decent midfielders and a solid forward line

If you have idiots in charge then yeah. I'd like to think our coaching staff are a lot better than that.

Not saying they’re not a good side but they’ve had an easy run. The next 5-6 weeks will tell us a fair bit about a few sides.

They kind of proved it last year
