AFL Autopsy 5 pt loss v Swans

[Jobe Watson]

hahaha imagine seeing the captain of the football team laughing after the season was pretty much just ended.

 

[Old Stuckup]

I've noticed that we seem to have an inability to stick tackles.

 

[faible]

Grim.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Classic middle of the road team and nothing more. We are so mediocre and fans will drop off. Heppell the only one at the end that looked like he cared.

Without a doubt we have some of the most stupidest footballers in the league. No football nous.

Zac Clarke never again. David Myers needs to play VFL. Ditto David Zaharakis.

Time is running out for Woosh and some in the coaching box. They are not doing their job in improving this team.

Huh?

No way Francis is a better forward option than Langford. Mynott is a better option than Ham. Ridley should have played.

Let's burn the club down.
At this stage its all I can come up with. Then I'd be free to support a professional outfit.
Nigh on 2 decades of nothing
Swans had a bad week and the sky was falling and they came out and responded

Buddy-less.
Playing kids.
In their worst form since their dark days in the 90s
And we still lost to them

And the best but. I tipped this (3pts not 5).
Cos you knew it was coming
This time last year I heavily backed a winless blues against us.

Haha it’s sad, but true. We always lose to sh!t teams.

So Myers has a chance to salvage something from a very underwhelming career. Every child’s dream to kick a monster after the siren. He winks to someone as if to say “I’ve got this covered lads”. Proceeeds to hoof a very anti climatic attempt at a hero’s goal, then has a chuckle. There are no words!!

And yet you wrote many

 

[RearNaked]

Turned the tv of but if it’s true that hep was having a laugh after the game sounds like he’s just happy collecting a pay check and should be stripped of the captaincy

 

[Mercurial89]

Can handle losing but that after siren shot I woulda thought they would be gutted. They didn't look too phased.
That says a bit about the group, maybe they think they have time. Sure they do, only round 8. But you wouldn't see a champion team (what they apparantly want to be) that jovial after a loss like that.

We play Joe in that game we probably win. Did we have any other options in selection? Maybe that's on coaches for not putting the best team on the park.

I don't think that loss was on the coaches but the players. It's not the strategy to just throw it on the boot. That is players panicking and making stupid decisions.
They even tried things putting hooker forward, Francis back. Francis was horrendous forward, does not provide the pressure needed, one effort and then he's done.


Merrett was good for a half
McGrath the same
Shiel tried to lift which was something.

Clarke had chances to win the game and missed then fumbled in front of goal.

Walla needs a spell and he needs to be taught to stop going to ground. I'd suggest tape has also been sent of him to umps and they ain't giving him shit for free kicks now.

The tackling was horrendous. It's happening every week, we tackle and teams just push the ball along or hold it in and do a repeat stoppage. Of course they can because they have both arms free.
We on the other hand throw the ball out side the pack to their waiting runners. Either hold the ball in or drop it at a team mates feet so we can force it forward.


Not a good loss. 5 day break could be an excuse if it was fitness but we were off mentally from the first quarter. I understand we aren't at full strength the forwardline has been gutted, so I would have excuses a scrappy win. But they lost. Good teams find a way there.

 

[Pevers-Legend]

Not only is the season gone, but next season as well as the board are cowards or ****ing morons (probably both) and we let Worsfold (one of the shittest coaches) continue to take us nowhere.

Club is weak and has no backbone. I watch now to laugh at how bad we are. Paycheck players. E-sports club.

E-SPORTS!!!!!

Look at them in despair...
Oh how it hurts them so much

 

[Macca18]

Can't do it anymore. Can't even muster up a few sentences to describe that. Not worth it.

Over and out. And go on... beat Fremantle by 10 goals next week and think the season is back on track until the expectations are on again and you fail dismally like tonight.

And the worst thing? Anyone with half a brain here who knows what we're like totally expected this.

 

[nylexbandit]

I think too often we try and kick to a target or break lines, rather than just roosting it forward. Perhaps if we kicked it long into the forward-line a few more times that last quarter we could've come over the top.

 

[raskolnikov]

Sack Woosha tomorrow please.

 

[Goat Hird]

We were never ready, though the delusion of this club is something else, trading picks to have a crack now. The additions have been good but adding them to a flawed group gets you nowhere. I'd blow it up and start over.

 

[Shane Heard]

We've been blindly bombing it long for nearly 10 years.

Ironically I have to go back to the Knights days to remember the last time we had a different strategy for going forward.

It's astounding that the club still try it.

#### M.Knights.

The moment he put Lloydy on a wing we lost our soul as a club.

Hird’s lack of leadership bull#### just topped it off.

 

[MiguelM]

What has happened to the pressure game? Was so brilliant last year. Is it the fact Smith has been injured and is the barometer in that regard?

Not sure. Lust count of situations where a player could have impacted a contest only to watch the Swans run it away. Zaka a prime example in the last, Selwood would have made the tackle.

 

[Jimmy88]

I love how people say they are done for the year, and are always back as soon the next game rolls around.



Not a good game. Very few players can put their hand up after that performance. Our bottom 6 players tonight were horrendously bad.

These loses are cultural. They’ve been happening for the past decade. There’s something wrong with the club. We are not a powerhouse. The only consolation is that Carlton are a lot worse

 

[Thebisc]

And yet you wrote many

Touché

 

[MattF185]

And to think people were optimistic about winning, going into this match

 

[Howard Moon]

All this time I thought there were two allir's out there dominating but that's just his name... apparently we kept kicking to the one Allir allir

Don't I feel dumb.

Wonder if he's related to the Allir twins we kept kicking to at ethihad that time

 

[Bombermania]

Carlton probably would have won that because they can grind those matches out.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Can't say we didn't see this coming. Had chances early in the year to start blooding kids and putting some energy back into the place.

Kept on being conservative and then a few got injured and the wheels started to fall off.

There is no ruthlesness and hunger to win at the club.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

The club has the nerve to ask fans to sign up as members and the team fails to deliver every year. it's why i stopped becoming a member years ago club doesn't deserve any of my money.
