Autopsy 2024 Rd 0 - Harry kicks the winner vs Lions

[Blue since 72]

Has to be a back up now.

If TDK needs a rest of McKay misses a game then Pitto comes in but IMO our best structure, easily, is TDK supported by McKay

Thinking Voss will still go with Pitt and TDK when Pitt is ready. I feel it wont be a regular thing at centre bounces, long season and we need him to keep getting up the ground and kicking goals not bashing knees in the middle.

Will also allow TDK to rest forward as a third aerial option.

Watch this space I guess.

Thinking TDK with Harry and others will be the “go to” for the majority of the season. Expect Pitto to have some games during the year. Will be interesting, but the model supplying more run appeals to me.

Not sure how Pitto went in the ressies, but could be some sort of chance with a quick back up this week. TDK to “rest” a little as the third tall. We do follow up with a bye, so may not be viable.

Harry was more than impressive in the ruck given how little he has actually rucked in a real match.

His agility for a big man enabled him to have first dibs on loose balls from centre bounces.

Yeah if Vossy is looking for a true squad approach rather than a best 22 there will be a number of players who will come in and out during the year and perhaps not only because of injuries, which I think is a good thing to combat the physical demands of the game.

Do any sides go with two rucks now?
The game is so much about run and team defence that I can’t see it.
Pittonet limits us and the improvement in McKay is obvious
Pittonet is a good back up if TDK needs a rest or conditions suit

All these years of keeping Harry away from the ruck work - what was that about?

 

[Franc de Borges]

All these years of keeping Harry away from the ruck work - what was that about?

Probably the fact that he was our only key forward and winning the Coleman while Curnow was made of rice paper.

 

[SurreyBlue]

I was just so happy for Harry. I'm still fist pumping thinking the way he went back and nailed it without a 2nd thought. Loved it - more so for him personally.

No Cripps and then followed up by Dunkley getting votes is absolutely criminal to me

Love that fog got credit

I reckon the Kangas footy chat is the funniest of the lot. They were making some massive statements during the first half of our game...fisher better than Saad and Williams...they will fly past us etc etc

I had a Norf fan tell me they have a better list than us…. 5 years ago.

That statement still hasn’t given me pause to be concerned after four straight 17th or 18th place finishes and odds on to end up in that position this year.

did we have to see a shot of fagan chomping on gum EVERY SINGLE TIME WE KICKED A ****ING GOAL? really?

I thought he was constantly readjusting his falsies, shows how much attention I'm paying.

 

[Gointocarlton]

As gutsy a win as I have seen from the Baggers in a long time. Gotta admit going in, I didn't think we'd get the job done, Bris at the Gabbatoir is the toughest gig in Footy. We managed to pull it off somewhat undermanned which made it more special.

I honestly thought, H produces 8-10 games like that he’s a Brownlow chance.

Just a couple of observations I’m sure have been mentioned (possibly).

Harry in the ruck was awesome and probably the one player you can’t get through,Fogarty.

Tackling machine.

in the first half (when playing on Coleman) as very defensive as opposed to the 2nd half when Coleman was injured - very offensive.

Hey Lions... remember the 8th of March?

What a stupid banner.
