Autopsy Round 24: Hawks cull the Roos

[Fleabane]

Well that was bloody brilliant. So so satisfying. So impressive.

Quick question - did Fox sports eventually get back to the Hawks celebrations and Liam's farewell at some point during the Suns Richmond game? I had to go out but I've recorded that game just in case!

Watched Clarko's press conference and he was very complimentary of our development and equally impressed by the way we go about it. Mentioned us and the Dogs as the two best teams in it.

First game in Tassie I’ve been to for over a decade, and what a game it was.

We have a number of incredibly special players coming through. Wiz, Weddle, D’Ambrosio, Dear, MacDonald, the list goes on.

The youngster I was most impressed by today was Mackenzie. He’s a jet. In miserable wet weather his skills were a level above. 86% efficiency from high 20 disposals in the wet, playing as a mid is ridiculous.

Hawks must of built a time machine

Re-post, deleted this thinking I'd posted it into the wrong thread:

The deft tap from Chol to Watson for his first goal was brilliant.

Dear to Ginnivan (leading to a Moore goal) in the last quarter was brilliant too.

Dear and Chol have both been so clever and team oriented this season with their taps and palm downs.

Apologies all.

I accidentally ****ed this thread with an errantly ticked box.

Fixing it now

Two games in the wet this year and two massive scores. Another comparison to the 2017 Tigers is they were almost unbeatable in wet conditions. Its a competitive advantage to any side that becomes stronger if the conditions get a bit slippery, even though we are also great on a fast, dry track as well.

Only 2 teams in the comp with seven players scoring 20+ goals.

Hawthorn and Sydney.

Watson just 2 goals off the 20.

 

[PAOKTSIS]

Was hoping for a convincing win - perhaps around 40-50 points.

But 124 points sends a clear message to the rest of the finals teams - we are not fu**ing around this year!

And to think we would’ve finished second had we not dropped the Port Adelaide and GWS games. SECOND!

We are well and truly back folks - irrespective of how he perform in the finals [emoji169]

Thought Finn was good today.

Offers a lot of run and physicality. No major howlers disposal wise but still a weakness.

If he can clean that up he will be a player.

Meek vs Xerri are going to have great battles for years to come. I love just how combative they both are.

Could be the next Crackers Keenan- Don Scott rivalry.

Idk I reckon you've got a short memory. He had quite a few howlers, North were just incapable of making us pay for them.

I'm not young, but I might need a more contemporary comparison mate.

Watson keeps growing

He up to 5 foot now

Did anyone notice with about 15 seconds left and Chol for that final set shot is shaping up to kick around the corner (presumably unaware that the siren’s about to sound)?

Ginnivan sprints across from nowhere to tell him to kick a conventional drop punt instead, so as not to risk playing on after the siren. Sure enough Chol does this and kicks the goal after the siren.

Now, it really didn’t matter cos we’re already 118 points up? But it’s that attention to detail, footy iq and sheer ruthlessness that Ginni brings that makes him such a key figure in this team.
