Autopsy 2023 Round 1 DRAW. Ugly Blues still can't close out games

[Stamos]

Probably. I was bummed on the Thursday evening like everyone else, but then I started thinking about the fingertip that Newman got on Lynch's goal out of the ruck, and that fantastic piece of goal-keeping by Young to deny Lynch a goal off the ground, after the ball had carried the pair of them, and Young was on a hiding to nothing going back towards the goal line. Desperate acts that ended up saving us from defeat.

What about them knocking our shot through for a rushed behind after the half time siren?

Yeah, even at the time I couldn't understand that. It looked like it would have been pretty straightforward for them to deny us a score from that kick... but drawers are grinners!

Expecting McGovern to kill the ball. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen all our guys go up and then have no one at the fall. It’s easy to see why our players don’t trust each other and second guess, with efforts like that from McGov. Even Weitering sat back and watched. Really poor from all, not just one.

Nah, Weiters was a victim of Taranto running interference for Lynch. Smart play by Timmy. He didn't block, per se, didn't instigate contact, he just passed through the space between Weiters and Lynch as Lynch started his run, and it left Weiters unable to make up the ground.

Probably a good piece of vision to show our forwards and mids. Something we're historically poor at, guys are going for the ball or watching their teammates go for the ball, very little in the way of subtle support.

No accident H won the Coleman when Eddie was still playing. Was a genius at it

Can't see Fisher learning at this late date. Had plenty of time with Eddie to learn.

H won the Coleman because curnow wasn’t there and would have won it last year again if curnow wasn’t there .. nothing to do with Eddie

Saw Eddie do exactly what Katmanblue said many times. Not the only reason sure, but it sure helped out.

Yeah Motlop really should’ve gone back and started a chip-around. I also don’t necessarily have an issue with what LOB did - in terms of taking on Rioli. He had fresh legs and it showed, he burned him and I think that was smart, as the sub. Just think that the execution was wrong. Needed to kick it to McKay far earlier.

Here’s the vision at LOB’s second-last bounce:

And at his last bounce:

Just needed to kick it sooner and we potentially ice the game. Ah well, it’s done now, hopefully we learn. But I would like to see them making the right choices by now, rather than making the same mistakes over and over.

Problem is, Harry's running away from him. He's a fair leg on him, but kicking a 75m bullet pass is probably a bit beyond him.

 

[Gethelred]

Spot on.

LOB punched the kick in harder than people realise, not necessarily a bad thing, but it needed to be pinpoint if your going to, and it wasn't.

...

The footage, I believe, is on the previous page. Harry slipped over, and the kick still ****ing hit him. The dictionary definition for 'pinpoint' is linked, and if that kick could've been any more precise I do not know how.

One would think a poster with the words 'lace out' in their moniker would hit their target, but alas.

Exactly. Harry slipped, he was on his knees and the ball touched and went through his fingers. On his feet, the ball was an easy chest mark.

 

[Bell Ringer]

This is incorrect.

If LOB had straightened up and kicked to H after a couple of bounces Harry would have marked uncontested within scoring range and been able to take 30sec off the clock.

Instead he holds on to the footy and makes H sprint an extra 30-40m after playing 120 mins of footy.

It's no wonder he fell over, he would have been absolutely stuffed after sprinting half the length of the field to provide an option for LOB.

FWIW, on Fox Footy last night Eddie Betts thought LOB should have kicked the ball earlier as well.

You don't need Eddie Betts to confirm what is obvious from that footage.

 

[Arr0w]

Are we still tossing the coin on LOB v Harry?

What crap analysis trying to pinpoint the blame out of the 2, when there was over 70 turnovers and or other poor decisions on the night

7 days later and still on about LOB & Harry FFS

Someone say we are having a LOB and Harry watch party tonight?
