Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Port Adelaide

Remove this Banner Ad

  • Connor West is fun to watch.
  • I like Tim Kelly. I like Tom Barrass.
  • Jack Darling showed a bit more I suppose.
  • 1st round pick will be massive.

  • 2nd round pick will be slightly less massive.
  • Also everything else.

Covid/Injuries/whatever reasons, legitimate or otherwise, the club had early to explain the output, the target for the season has to shift now. It’s folly to not embrace where we are at this point, club simply cannot ignore it and act like they’re just building up to a more ‘to script’ back end of the season.

Positives
  • Making it easy to move Shuey, Reddan, Kennedy, Hurn, Simpson on
  • Unlikely to read a post from the Simpson Fan Boi's until teams are released Thursday
  • Simpson's Fan Boi's being proved wrong again
  • Number 1 draft pick
  • Number 1 pick in the PSD
Negatives
  • Not many of the young or mid level players showing anything of promise for a career, many to get the chop at end of year
  • No synergy
  • All this talk of tackling practice all summer, absolutely pathetic
  • No endurance or speed, got to at least have one
  • Still have to listen to the press conference
 
Positives:
  • potential for the first top 5 pick in a longgggg time
  • there were players out there trying their best (West, Redden, Kelly off the top of my head)
-1 match closer to synergy?

Negatives:
  • most of the senior players are done and none of the younger players are lighting the world on fire.
  • our best 22 more like the blorst 22. Three years of 'oh they finally have most of their best mids playing at the same time' only for said mids to be so ineffectual it's borderline hilarious.

WC really need to nail at least a few high draft picks and bring real A-grade talent in over the next few years to avoid a sustained period towards the bottom of the ladder. If only 1 or 2 stars are drafted over the next few years then they'll not be contending for a decade.

Kelly and Barrass. Darling is an idiot with self inflicted unfitness but kept at it.
It is a positive fact that we lack pace and aggression and have done so for years. As an easy beat club we have to play on the edge for 100 minutes.

-
Too many young players on a 10 year plan to make it. They will never get there. We need to replace XON, West, Waterman, Williams, Jones, Edwards, Foley, Witherden, and a few others.
Need a quality ruckman.
Coaching, tallent identification, fitness, medical and club leadership is below AFL standard.
Retire mid year JK and Hurn - cooked and going down hill fast.
Retire end of year Shuey and Redden, done.

Rozzee acceptance speech one of the worst I've heard
Kelly, Barass and Witho tried to carry the team.
West and Strnadica decent

-
Time to start rewarding games on form and not on credits. Love the premiership stars, but there is a real lack of leadership and intent, especially in the older players.
Front to back we are looking terribly low on confidence.
Still can't see the new game plan and our forward structure looks nonexistent.
Our tackling technique is horrible to watch. Rarely pin the opposition players' arms or disrupt the play.



Backing the club to turn it around, but it's getting harder to see how.
