Autopsy Roast & toast vs Brisbane and changes for Sydney, round 17, Thurs July 6, MCG, 7.20pm

[Lacustrus]

Brisbane vs Collingwood/Geel GF would be a nightmare.

I’m going fishing

Concerned by the absence of Riley Collier-Dawkins.
He provides midfield drive and defensive running skills.

 

[tiger_tough]

Of course, no free kick though

 

[Hoos]

Zorko, daniher and hipwood with medals? No thanks.
just grateful Robinson and the barometer will never win one.

You can add Raynor to that list too. Complete knob.

If Mini doesn't select Bauer to help his development, he is clearly putting his aspirations for the permanent coaching role ahead of what's better for the club. And fans.

This is my line in the sand moment and I'm not holding back.

So far he's shown no inclination to play any younger guys and even less to drop experienced guys in horrendous form, i.e, Graham, McIntosh, Pickett.

Thanks AT for this post as it's the most valuable post on here regarding our forward setup. Before I launch into my reasons I will say I received a phone call about an hour b4 the game and was told to load up on Brisbane as about a minimum of 5 guys were infected with the GOAT bug and we looked awful in training and even light warm ups. He said we were fumbling unclean and slower looking in our preparation. Now we know that having players 5-10% off their game the team chances of winning slump dramatically.
Anyhow whether we had players ill or not I think the MC really need to have a hard look at themselves as the omission of MRJ was a huge mistake. A poster put up all the stats of Minibus' 5 game coaching career and the most important stat to me is time and entries i50 for both teams and the number of scoring shots. In four of the games we've been beaten by over 20, i50 entries and the game we broke even in it was the Saints game and we had double the scoring shots. It was clearly our most impressive win of the season.
MRJ was critical in that game working in tandem with Clarke at the feet of BM and JR. They also at centre bounces and forward stoppages run harder into the contest from their forward position than all the names you've mentioned above and create support for our MFers. Last nights team was an embarrassment to where our game plan was built from as Benjamin Miller is the second fastest player on that list above of yours . Brisbane's small defenders had the night off as Pickett, Graham, Hopper and Cumberland provided no defensive forward pressure. Our INS were a disaster as Hopper, Pickett and the out of form HRS all walked into the best 22.
We made a massive error at the trade table when we signed up Hopper, not bc it was wrong, but bc we kept JGTI as he was supposed to be an upgrade for him for me and we could've got a nice pick in return. We cannot afford to carry Hopper, Pickett, Cumberland, JGTI, Cotchin, KMac and HRS in that line up. I would only play Cotchin, Hopper and KMac or Pickett as subs. I was screaming all week we needed more pace and f50 pressure yet they went the opposite.
As your post is attempting to defend Cumberland, I'm actually in support of KDH on him. The reasons are he reminds me of that big lazy kid who matured early than normal and sat in the GS kicking 10-15 goals a game from grade 1 -year 9, but by the time everyone got their growth spurt he was then back in the pack. He didn't develop his game to use both feet, to chase and tackle with multiple efforts, no run and jump, no creative handballs and really no street smart survival skills. He has way too many deficiencies and this is why he's had two goes already. I would invest serious games into Coulthard , Green etc as they at least have most of these skills. Have to fit Brown in the mix also.
Ryan also needs a rest to gain confidence and form in VFL as his game has widdled away to no impact for 6 weeks now.

I give your essay a B-

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Hate Collingwood.
Only looking forward to seeing them choke.
Will celebrate for the octave.
Hope Port does well, they have won five in a row.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Power & the Pies are on equal wins.
Hope the Power have home finals then the G for one game.

We need a fast big inside mid like the Dawk but we are now stuck with an injury prone super slow not big enough non beast in hopper for 7 f......n years

You're upset and didn't give me an A+ bc I bagged Noah In Cumberland

Well, he can shove his inclination if it goes on for another week.

Bauer in without Jack wont work and it sets Bauer up for failure.

Jack directing him on the field is a much better option imo.

Just needs to do the opposite of whatever Samson Ryan does, he'll be right

He’s not that bad

Haven't they won like 10 or 11 in a row?

 

[AstuteTiger]

Of course, no free kick though

So you can just jab someone and only get a week. Piss weak AFL
Mansell going for the ball and gets 3

You want to stamp this crap out, MRO shouldve handed down min 2, or 3 for the action.

wish they would just stop suspending for this weak shit altogether

have scaling fines for all the soft stuff and only suspend for 4 weekers and higher

if that was a Richmond player would get 3+

 

[shaky]

But Bradtke, Nyuon and Bauer aint going to work with 3 talls either + Pickett. It's a shocking setup, Id much rather play 1 tall with a Dusty/Cumberland type + 4 smalls than whatever we are trying.

Managed a premiership with a set up like that.
Trouble is we are trying to hide Cotch down there during the match.
As much as I love him, we are going to be better off when we move past him.
He’ll play the odd good game or patch in a game because he is (was) a gun, but as he can’t play a full match in the middle now, he is too slow to put up forward.

 

[shaky]

We didn't play well but bears played out of their skin. At one stage late in the second quarter their disposal efficiency was close to 90%.

But is that also due to our lack of pressure on them?
