Autopsy Round 2 Roast & Toast v Port Changes for Saints

[PetterdHoisted]

Aaaannd #NoAura just becomes no aura again

 

[Truetiger]

Huge learning curve game for the kids, most of whom fought the game out once the heat was off.

Terribly disappointed in the senior players today.

Effort and intensity right down from the get go.

I can’t question the effort from the kids, future bright. Most of the senior players let us down.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Bauer out for Lynch
Kmac mk2 for Banks

Kmac 1 on the wing to cover banks and kmac2 in the guts

agreed good changes. if alger kills it he could get a run over green.

 

[Black Saab]

Some good second half stats.

Lost the second half but only narrowly:

PA 8:3
RICH 6:8

Only just lost the inside 50 count too:
PA 55
Rich 50

Last week had 35 inside 50s total.

We also WON THE FREE KICK COUNT!!
PA 14
Rich 20

 

[DustinsGuns]

Not popular…but Dow was alright…a lot better than his senior…more respected…mates…Ross..hopper…Taranto…invisible

I think that's really popular. Dow played all game. Taranto, Ross and Hopper were trash

 

[Muddiemoose]

agreed good changes. if alger kills it he could get a run over green.

Bauer maybe a little unlucky but think Fawcett is ready now and has that extra hight and Armstrongs last qtr tells me he’s ready to really put in a 4 qtr performance

 

[sabso]

We outscored them last quarter, good sign at least

 

[harimal12]

By the end of the year Taranto will be lucky to get a game.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Out Trezise, Banks(concussion) , Bauer, Green
In Sonsie, McAuliffe, Lynch, Alger

 

[DustinsGuns]

Who goes out for Lynch?

• Armstrong showed heaps in Q4
• Fawcett a proper KP size and showed a bit
• Bauer probably the best player of the lot as it currently stands but 2/3 years older and closer to his ceiling

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Happy with the efforts of the kids like Blight, Armstrong, Mansell, Campbell.

Persisted all game and ran the game out really well.

This is the kind of year where spurts from our rookies are exciting and we should enjoy it. Really loved Armstrong’s last quarter.

The bads: our mids got smashed today and like 2024, teams chop us up big time with contested disposals. It is hard to watch the oppo effortlessly work their way through the ground and put on a tidal wave of pressure on our backs.

Putting it bluntly our midfield depth is shit so we have to grit our teeth through the year with days like today.

Our starting mids have no defensive game .

awful.... racked up a few after the heat went out of the game, but what a lack lustre effort by those 3. how we managed over 20 shots at goal with such an inexperienced forward set up without lynch and considering those feeble 1st half efforts by timT, jackR and jacobH it was a massive positive.

 

[DickieKnee]

Some good signs by our youngsters. Senior players really let us down. Gonna be a long season.

 

[sabso]

Funny we kicked 3.4 in three quarters in a row

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

I really dislike Jacob hopper

 

[Black Saab]

Bauer maybe a little unlucky but think Fawcett is ready now and has that extra hight and Armstrongs last qtr tells me he’s ready to really put in a 4 qtr performance

Agreed.

Do we run 3 talls next week with Lynch back?? Fawcett, Armstrong, Lynch?

Kind of think now that Armstrong has a couple of goals under his belt he can settle and really crack in not hunting that first career goal anymore.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

How many more years of these 2 lemons Taranto and Hopper ? Dow another waste of space, fmd it's gonna be a long year

 

[DustinsGuns]

Taranto was so disappointing. His body language looks so laconic. Hopper is the far inferior player but at least he seems to be having a go. These two were sold a premiership window and they will have anything but, but they need to set a standard if they're getting paid $700,000+/year.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Good debut from Fawcett
Keep playing the youngsters
We won the last quarter
If we kick straight like we did last week against Carlton we can surprise a few teams
We also kicked a higher score than Carlton this round NOT THE WORST TEAM BOYS

And we're still above carl & ess

 

[Neen]

More than happy with the kids at the moment. Should have been a bigger margin going off our half time form. The kids got better as the game progressed. Trainor, Fawcett and Armstrong had their moment in the game. Lalor was quiet but had a good last quarter.

I liked Short, Vlastuin, Broad and Nank showing the way and Mansell, Campbell and Tresize were good support. Worried about Taranto, Hopper, Macca and Miller.

Blight is the player I think will have a HUGE upside this year. Forward, back and in the Ruck. We may have found Balta V2 ?

Another game into the kids - and we did show glimpses. Don't care about the scoreboard.

Out - Bauer, Smith
In - Lynch, Rioli

 

[SavDog23]

Still above carltoon and the druggies

 

[Muddiemoose]

Agreed.

Do we run 3 talls next week with Lynch back?? Fawcett, Armstrong, Lynch?

Kind of think now that Armstrong has a couple of goals under his belt he can settle and really crack in not hunting that first career goal anymore.

Yeah I think that’s the way to go for now
Although would be nice if one of them could pinch hit in the ruck

 

[Steely Brown Eye]

Funny we kicked 3.4 in three quarters in a row

We had a funny guy with us in Korea, tail gunner, they blew his brains out all over the Pacific

 

[DustinsGuns]

Agreed.

Do we run 3 talls next week with Lynch back?? Fawcett, Armstrong, Lynch?

Kind of think now that Armstrong has a couple of goals under his belt he can settle and really crack in not hunting that first career goal anymore.

IMO, you have to run Bauer.

As it currently stand Bauer is our best KP forward behind Lynch by a margin. Compared to Armstrong, Fawcett, Faulls, etc he may have a limited ceiling, but imo you need to play the best players on the list just like how they are playing Kmac. Otherwise you become the Kangas.

Bauer on game form but he’s more a hanging around half forward. Definitely don’t drop Armstrong or fawcett, they both played really well for first and second gamers
