Autopsy 2024 Rd 20 Loss to Port - Top 4 in jeopardy

[Red_man2008]

FFS a lot of melters here, wanting to burn the club to the ground.. still got four winnable games to go.. top two maybe a stretch but we should be playing finals.

We could lose all four with that performance repeating. We may only beat west coast.

 

[Opium]

I’d still like to know why we offer players like Durdin & Cottrell two year extensions early in the season

No way is Cottrell best 22. I don't care how far he runs. AFL requires you to get the ball and be able to make decisions. That play in the last qtr when he played on nearly ran to far and kicked it to a 2 on 1 was the final straw. He's a local footballer at best.

 

[Stormzy]

Think we could probably say goodbye to a home qualifying final, but still have us finishing in the top 4.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Who on our list is going to improve us next year. Binns. Reports say he’s going to leave end of year for more opportunity. Our list is ****ing shot. We need to get a heap of contracts away from this team asap.

Ollie Hollands will benefit from another pre-season. But that's it.

Next year Newman, Docherty, Saad, Williams, McGovern, Martin and Cripps will be the wrong side of 30.

We've got a 3 year window to contend before the next rebuild starts.

The youth on our list is bleak.

Carlton FC, I have done your weekly game review. Feel free to DM me payment. Kicking to 2 on 1 = Bad.

 

[Soapy V]

From what sitting on the bench while he was the sub last week? Seriously though, he might be a good guy but he has to be gone with Marchbank.

Can’t keep all these injury prone people on lists, if we had an injured Boyd as an emergency as we had little else to pick from….there are two spots that could of gone to someone else who might of been able to help us.

We played Durdin last week when he couldn’t get through training with a sore calf. He then injured it in first 10 minutes of game

Not should.

Will.

However, while we’ve become reliant on individuals instead of sticking to the plan, we’ve become woefully exposed.

Gotta be part of the buy-in.

Where’s that f***** vodka bottle????

We could lose all four with that performance repeating. We may only beat west coast.

I don't think we beat the Eagles over there. They have all their players back and will get Mcgovern back next week.

 

[The Sultan]

We could lose all four with that performance repeating. We may only beat west coast.

We could win all four by 10 goals and then go on and win the grand final.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda, gunna…take the loses with the wins

 

[Wickzki]

walsh for highly paid is not a good enough midfielder - no strength no power not quick too easily tackled

Walsh needs to rediscover his game. He's certainly good enough.

His disposal has really let him down this year. He's making lots of dumb decisions and selling his teammates out by putting himself and teammates under unwinnable (contest wise) situations.

Hopefully he gets a strong summer and preseason in and that helps him.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Why move Cinc off butters when we were up 4+ goals. Voss is an idiot.

Pretty sure on match day Ash Hansen calls the shots and Voss just cheerleads from the sidelines.

 

[GT619]

few concerns. saw this result coming. our form hasn't been the same

 

[reg_lower91]

Said it last week. I'll say it again this week.
Too many passengers.
Stuffing around with our team balance too much.
Playing too many blokes who can't impact the game.
Stuffing this year right up. Infuriating.

 

[passmark]

Scrubbers need to be 100% pressure 100% of the time.
We’re a scrubbers team with a slow game style. Not quite the Brad Scott Norf scrubbers (who made preliminary finals) but not good enough to rely on skill to make a grand final.

Anyway. These mutts can ****en work hard or be also rams. There’s no other way.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Don't write off a finals win just yet but this group gives me Brisbane, St Kilda vibes....not quite good enough

Sad thing is I'm not confident this list even gets to a grand final any more.

 

[Soapy V]

No way is Cottrell best 22. I don't care how far he runs. AFL requires you to get the ball and be able to make decisions. That play in the last qtr when he played on nearly ran to far and kicked it to a 2 on 1 was the final straw. He's a local footballer at best.

Maybe tonight ends the Cottrell is a wingman discussion

10 possessions, 2 contested and 2 tackles is poor. Again he was lost and didn’t get involved and can’t tackle. Needs a focused role or is lost

 

[Stormzy]

Get us away from marvel as well please.

 

[heatleystandend]

I haven’t seen too many games where the losing team’s best player is the full forward! That is rather peculiar.

The small forwards are not just average but they get marked too easily. Can’t understand why they rushed back a litany of injured players but Jack Martin

Is that on our high performance team or the coaches? Either way it's horrendous.

 

[ctwenty1]

I don't think you are wrong. We needed a good year injury wise to win the flag. We've made a good fist of our early season injuries, but it's all a bit too much now. We have way too many role players who can't get the ball.

We have maybe 7 supposed elite players. a few vital players a step down, and then a whole lot of ... foot soldiers.

I think we are done. We've pulled a reverse uno on last season.

Can’t agree with that last statement. No way this year is a right off, at all.

 

[gab213]

The moment we lost Harry, we lost the game.......

That was a huge blow but having to activate our sub so early finished us off, from that point it was clear that we would eventually run out of legs. At half-time I said to my brother with whom I was watching the game that we didn't have a big enough lead. We needed to be eight goals up to be able to hang on.

The game was shot early. We have too many players in poor form or carrying injuries.

 

[Bell Ringer]

The complete lack of creativity amongst the coaching group is very concerning.

They had to cobble together a forward line capable of kicking a winning score and when it was clear we were struggling during the 3rd qtr they tried nothing.

Similar story thru the midfield.

Do we need to include matchday payments in their contracts before they realise they can actually coach on the wkends and not just at training?

 

[bigblueboy]

Looking for the right word to describe our situation … but eh won’t go there.

Four weeks ago we decided to drop the in-form Hewett and start fiddling with roles and positions. Then the injuries start to impact and force more changes.

We got ahead of ourselves and it has cost us.

 

[Benaly28]

I was watching the backline closely in the third quarter they were hunched over quite regularly whilst they were horrible in the second half there’s no doubt it took its toll.
