Autopsy Roast & Toast v West Coast Round 8, changes for Geelong

[Dunger]

Im just glad we won. Hopefully it brings some confidence to the group and we improve from here

2017 Lambert, Edwards and Houli would be nice

 

[WATiger86]

First two quarters were head in the hands stuff but prestia breathed some life into us late in the 3rd and from then we looked ok

Hopefully the confidence boost the team needed

 

[docko911]

Should’ve kept Chol

 

[All Aust]

Frigging Nick Cave will be there too. I only endorse this if he stands up during the service and sings "Nick the Stripper".

Will accept Stagger Lee on volume 12

 

[Frank Grimes]

Disappointing first half, but very happy with the second half where we looked like we love footy again.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Would love to have some leg speed in the team.. is there anyone?

 

[richoplzbreed]

My understanding is that it was our draft strategy which we totally screwed up, not the recruiters.

From what I understand, we were into Oscar Allen big time. I think our thought was that West Coast would go Kelly or Sam Taylor at 21, leaving us to take Allen at 25.

I’m not sure why we had CCJ so high (was a bit of a surprise to many at the time). I can only speculate in that it was North Melbourne at 23 that were into him.

But yes, an error by the list management group.

Big stuffup then. He already drifted as he was rated the best KPF, Larke medallist and was tipped to go around pick 10. Typical.

Of the young fellas
Samson was the highlight again. He’s the real deal. Handled some big responsibility today.
I thought Judson did some nice things and pushed hard. Many of his best efforts were in the last qtr junk time, so difficult to get a read.
Miller tried hard
Ross it’s all been said already.
I finally worked out that Hugo’s role in the team is to dish out high fives/tens and throw both arms in the air when we goal. He absolutely nailed it today.

Roll some more young’ns through the side

 

[OhDustinMartin]

Samson and Juddy are good.
Move Miller and Ross on I reckon.
Hugo I don't think will make it, but he's serviceable.
Midfield figured it out, Martin and Bolton good.
Had to win that one but first half is a real worry, that was putrid.

Man I miss Lynch

Every team has a heart and soul player. For so long it's been Cotch but the last few years it's been Marlion Pickett

We all missed your posts. Lifts our spirits. Welcome back again

Cumberland had a shocker no doubt. But so did his replacement Mansell, was shocked to see Mansell actually got more gametime so Cumbo must've really been riding the pine. Really don't see Mansell as a senior footballer. Would love to see Dow and Banks getting his opportunities as their ceilings are so much higher.

I also think there may have been a perceived go-home factor.

Missed opportunity for sure.

Unlike JVR who I believe we were never high on.

 

[Rubber Hips]

I’m staying in tonight to watch it

 

[Rubber Hips]

Anyone who thinks Cumberland shouldn’t be dropped after that abysmal performance should suck eggs, he was absolutely horrible live. No intent to get involved at all

The bloke is mentally wrecked…reckon he will likely seek a trade

 

[Royce Hafey]

Isn't he Charles' cousin?

Charles is Charles' cousin.

Have said this before but what's missing for us are a couple of skilled quick runners, line breakers who can then find players by foot. Its these types of players who take advantage of the stand rule.

We had one who won our BnF in a premiership year, effectively leading the league in effective kicks and metres gained.

****ed if I know why Short is still playing midfield.

Baffled by this.

Surely the go-home factor is a Furphy. The amount of interstate family and friends I know who worship the MCG and have visited the ground when its empty just to see it. These interstate kids would love to play at one of the Big4. We have almost as many interstate players as Vics these days and 8 from WA. It's all good our KPF woes will be solved by our 3rd round pick this draft.

Richmond​

VIC	SA	WA	NSW/ACT	QLD	TAS	NT	OTHER
25	3	8	1	2	4	0	0

The Tigers have the strongest Tasmanian representation in 2023, with a total of four products from the Apple Isle currently residing at Punt Road.

With a combined 11 players from either SA or WA, just 58% of Richmond's list are from Victorian - the equal lowest among their state rivals.

If there was a ‘Hardness at Ball’ stat, Pickett would rank ELITE…

 

[Rubber Hips]

Why didn’t we take Van Royen ?

I remember most of this board was screaming out for him after we landed Gibcus…instead we went for Brown#17 which was a strange pick …hope he can come good…some day ..maybe do an undergrad course at Melb Uni?
