Autopsy Round 7, 2020: Adelaide v St.Kilda *BYRNES DEBUT*

[saints2066]

Good win but let’s be honest, our midfield is a concern after Steele and Zak jones. We need to bite the bullet and put hunter Clark in there, drop Ross and bring Webster back.

Hunter Clark can put in some more Defensive pressure with Steele.

Ryder is great when he is rucking the problem is he can't do much else same with Marshall. They can only play one its a waste having them both play

I’m Marshall’s biggest fan but if there is a better option forward I’d drop him. He will be playing though because there is no better option. My mum didn’t get on the list.

How bloody good was Marshall last year? I want to see more of that instead of a slight increase in hit out effectiveness.

Marshalls influence around the ground last year is worth more than what Ryder brings.

 

[NarklesHelmet]

Bloody stressful game to watch after coughing up match-winning leads twice already this year.

Of course we were jumpy as fans. Just relieved to get a win in Adelaide.

And Jack Steele

 

[gringo2011]

seb isn’t up to it unfortunately

He wasn’t terrible to me. Marshall and Membrey were probably our worst

 

[Marlo]

I'd hate to be a talented midfield that isnt a bulldozer or Scott Pendlebury, there's no time or space to do f****** anything

Creative tap worth more than 5 possessions

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Not sure if Ronny will get the luxury of two in a row.
He’ll be better for that but.

 

[plugger66]

I know you want Marshall as sole ruck, but Paddy was immense tonight. In our best 3 players in terms of overall impact, on reduced game time too.

Again not doubting that. Well doubting he was in the best 3 players. Just saying it won’t work against better sides.

 

[ARCHIE66]

funniest thing of that match was when tex got robbed of that mark and stood up thinking he was some hero or something when he didnt realise it wasnt paid

 

[Hubnester]

Huge win made even bigger by having constant calls made against us all night.
Showed a lot of resilience - and to come out in the last quarter guns blazing to seal it was very good to see.
Well done boys

Alright which one of you did this?
Creepy

 

[Max the great]

Howard, Steele, membrey, billings and someone like Geary or ross are surely the leadership group next year with a Captain coming from them.

Ross leadership group next year? Shouldn't even be in the side again.

 

[Impatient Saint]

Great to finally win in Adelaide.

Steele best game for the club. It was quoted on the game day thread that Steele & Jones should be our Captains next year - I couldnt agree more.

Hannebrey to come back in next week. Bank the win and get up for next week which will be a real test.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Free kick count Adel - 29 stk - 19. What a ridiculous umpiring display.
Huge breakout game for Steele. Looking like a captain and a star.
Jones awesome.
Coff has come leaps and bounds in weeks. Great marks and great decision making.
Howard looked excellent and displayed some propper leadership.

 

[Johnnyrayflamingo]

Also:
Whilst Byrnes didn't do much he just looks like a dedicated and real footballer. Got that feeling about him.

Coffield looking like a senior footy player now.

 

[Joffaboy]

Well disappointed during the game but on reflection we absorbed the pressure in the 3rd and should have won the qtr except for the appalling umpiring.
Adelaide have momentum and gets to within 9 points with 12 minutes to go.

From that moment we went up a gear and kicked the next three to ice the game.

Lets face it we would have won by 6 goal plus if it wasn't for the appalling umpiring.

I am satisfied. First win at that oval, first win v Crows for a decade.

Steele
Coff
Dougs
were all excellent.
Thought Gres worked his way into the game.
Jones started well but drifted out of it a bit.
Butler and Kent earned their pay. Lonie a bit hit and miss
Max doesn't get a go from the umpires but still kicked 2
Byrnes had an ordinary but part of a winning team good start.

Our pressure was good all game even when the Crows were in the ascendancy.

All the backline settling well and rarely get beaten. Walker was gifted everything from the maggots but Coff, Dougs, Snake and Wilkie, we look as good down back as we have in years.

Sat on the Crouches well, stopped the Crows run, and when they locked it in defended well.

Negatives.

Ronnie couldn't get near it
Ryder and Marshall doesn't work. However Ryders tap work in the 4th quarter was immense.
Seb is so out of form, was he doing a job on one of the Crouches?
Brad Hill, not a negative but going only in fits and starts.

Good win, would it be possible to win two at Adelaide in 5 days after not winning the previous 10?

 

[Kilroy]

Run for it!

Membrey Woke up in the last quarter

 

[Fryman]

Guys, I barely survived the Hickey vs Longer wars.

Please don’t start a Ryder vs Marshall battle, or if you have to, take it to a separate thread. It’s boring to the point of being nauseating.

 

[gringo2011]

Not doubting that. Nothing to do with what I said though. That just wouldn’t happen with elite mids. They read the ball better.

The Crouches are no slouches.

 

[gringo2011]

Membrey Woke up in the last quarter

He kicked one when we absolutely needed it. Not too much else from him.

 

[BrutThough]

As bad as that game was, it's a good sing that we just found a way to win.

We aren't always going to have things go our way and play attractive footy.

We found a way and thats all that matter tonight.

 

[Saint12]

Terrible game. Very good win though. Probably need to improve 20% next week. Not to many changes. Depends how they pull up though. Steele clearly best. Coffs best game. Marshall is as good a forward as my mum. Harsh on mum.

One change only...Lonie out Parker (or anyone ) in

 

[plugger66]

Brad hill is really out of form. We need to get him back in form somehow.

 

[Nutsngum]

He wasn’t terrible to me. Marshall and Membrey were probably our worst

I didnt think so either, but he just isnt getting numbers to be really damaging.

Talking about Howard, despite the fact it gave away a 50 I like that he gave the umpire lip. It was clearly punching the ball before he even touched the player's arms and the umpiring was just ****ing us all night. I hope he gave it to him good.
