Autopsy The Massacre at the SCG

[bloodsbigot]

We accounted easily for Geelong last year at the SCG and we'll account easily for Geelong this year.

Game is at SCG

Silly me.

I don't wanna bring the mood down or anything but


One ground and a couple of KPPs do not make a 93 point difference.
For the rest of the season, nothing will be easy.

I reckon we'll go fine. Don't care how many times punts likes your post.

Of course it won't be easy but there is no reason we can't win next week, when you consider the players they will be missing this time as well.

Imagine the hype if a 19 year old Daicos had 29, plus a bunch of tackles and 4 scoring shots.

If Gus doesn’t get this week’s rising star nom, there’s something just not right.

No cheap kick ins to buffer the stats either.

Sheldrick looks an absolute gem, Monty for rising star this week.

I agree, we're much better odds this time

But the post I replied to said "we'll easily account for them"

Not very likely

A little over 31k at the game today. Well done crew Not bad for a 15th vs 18th outing.

We should make the Saturday twilight spot our own. I'd be asking for as many of our home games as possible in the spot.

I don't care about Thursday/Friday nights.

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

Interested in what people thought of the umpiring in this game. I can only recall two clangers in my sight, both pretty obvious frees not paid to us. They got a couple of softies and a very dodgy mark but not pulled from the rear end. I'm up the Paddington end so I don't get a good look at Randwick.
Seems arm chopping is off the agenda now.
Not a single HTB paid that I can recall but TBH I thought that was OK. Consistency is good.
Not too much whistle. Frees 20-12 our way seems about right considering we played in front all night. I would award A- or B+.

One of the very few times I would say that we actually got some home ground advantage from the umps.

Most of what should have been paid were to us.

Umpires should be secondary to the game and they were tonight, that’s when they do their best work.

It's terrible if yuy have young kids and don't live in Sydney. I got to only see a quarter and a bit

Something has changed with logan. He looks like a switch has flicked ans has matured over night..

He carries himself like key forward now, like he's the number 1 man. Yea he still has a few things to work on but he has been very impressive this year

2 goals a game for a 21 year old key forward is massive

100% he will only get better and better. KPP take longer than smaller players, need to build strength and work out the game aerially. He seems to be doing both.

No matter what time you pick, there will be people who don't think it is convenient.

I'm more interested in what produces the best football/spectacle. And for some reason we seem to play well in twilight Saturday games and the SCG looks great as the sun sets.

 

[The King!]

Geelong won't just watch us stop and make decisions like the Eagles did unfortunately

 

[The King!]

I'd like to see Armatey actually perform against a decent side.

I agree spectacle is important, but also making sure you move around so everyone can watch at some point is also important

It was odd hearing Gerard Healy say multiple times he'd like to see Logan play across the back half.

Not so much about Logan specifically but I loved how we mixed up the composition of our attack. The Eagles defenders were never quite sure who they were defending. At the start of Q1 and Q3 we had McLean in the square, Amartey and Logan high in the Pockets, Warner and Mills at HFF and Heeney at CHF. Just looked so dangerous. Not one defender was as big as their attacker. Papley at CSA, which I'm not a huge fan of but.....
First goal - Warner at 25 seconds after McLean brings the ball to ground off a Papley entry.
Nice.

That would be a waste.

McCartin was huge for you guys in the VFL, well and truly the best player on the ground. Will be a huge inclusion for you and your chances of making the 8.

Wow - if you can't enjoy your team hitting 200 points for even a day then I don't know what can bring people joy in the world.

I don't really understand why a Thursday or a Friday night game would be convenient for people outside of Sydney with small children, but Saturday twilight isn't. But anyway.

West coast got paid that mark to Oscar Allen that wasn't a mark, that stood out.

But given they didn't exactly crash in the umpires had a day off

Because I can watch it on TV once they are in bed, but at 4pm I'm busy entertaining them and then doing dinner, bath and bed, so I don't get to watch any TV

Mclean bobbed up and had a solid outing, got some scoreboard reward for hard work

 

[Punts]

Will beat the cats if the front half stands up
