Autopsy 53 point win against GCS

[The King!]

Oh and Papley forward much better than the shit last week

I thought horse had him balanced better and Lloyd. Also like Warner forward a bit and wicks starting

big tick

 

[The King!]

I don't really get the knock on how McDonald gets his goals.

Goals are goals, regardless of how you get them. You can fluke one out the back but many? No chance. It's good footy smarts and positioning. If that's his strength and how he kicks his goals, then more power to him IMO.

If you're judging forwards by ability to lead and mark then Buddy wouldn't even crack the top 20.

If he kicks 100 from the goal square so be it , all worth 6

same as a win is a win

 

[Bonz]

Roberts. Roberts. Roberts

OFlo super composed down back. And I know they weren't challenged a lot but we looked better with down back.

Amartey good game. No fade outs like he usually does.

Fox is a natural leader in the backline.

I feel like we are always structured nicely down back when either him or Mills are there.

 

[The King!]

Pretty sure it's hangover from 60s, 70s & 80s... when it was almost impossible to underrate them...

yep and like I said I tend to see the negative first and everyone else looks awesome

 

[strauchanie59]

the commentary around mcdonald is reaching peak stupidity too.

All he gets is joe the goose stuff was the reply in the game thread but people froth over JUH. Mind you if he leaves people who bag him will get their knickers in a twist.

Not saying he is perfect or near any sort of stardom but he works hard, presents and shows a fair bit.

Same as Hayward doing defensive work and getting a few goals, some people just want every player to be Wayne Carey or Greg Williams

If people watched the vision, you can see he gets these easy goals because:

a) he impacts further up the ground and gets the reward
b) works over his defender who can't keep up
c) reads the play superbly to the point that he knows where to be

 

[The King!]

Heeney went from pretty good to elite kick over summer .

His running in the third especially - he did the bounce kicked it forward then was at the next two bounces , the guy is everywhere.

in space him gulden and blakey are awesome by foot, you can see why they target them.



Oh one random
one in my collection of randomness, I thought Harry played a solid game, he makes good decisions , ditto roberts but think cunningham provides guidance and leadership there

 

[hairy biker]

Longmire completely outcoached by Hardwick.
Midfield humiliated.
Rubbish bombing into our fwd line, nobody lowering their eyes.
Defence comprehensively out worked and outmarked.
Woeful intercepting and rebound.
No tackle pressure whatsoever.

TO BE FILED UNDER THINGS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN TODAY.

 

[The King!]

Oh and Rowbottom today was a great game all over the suns like rowell but damaging as well himself

 

[caesar88]

I liked Blakey's game but his risk vs reward ratio was a bit out of whack for mine. A little too much taking the game on and not enough sticking to the basics when it's best.

However I think Rampe's absence probably effects him the most. I saw on Twitter somewhere a while back that Rampe was doing as much for our rebounding as Blakey was. With Rampe out, Blakey probably feels a bit more pressure on himself to provide that rebound. So I tried to remember that today every time he'd blaze away and turn it over.

And I acknowledge that when it's good it's great to watch and damaging as shit.

Healy mentioned the Suns forced him further back in the second and then he is taking them on the delivering into a more likely turnover spot as well and opposition entry .

I'd like to see him run through the middle one day

Can understand why we were in the market for a key forward. None of ours look like taking the bull by the horns.

22yo KPF. ..

Favours fairly well stats wise to JJK and Riewoldt who I feel are good comparisons.

Even if you think he is "Josh Jenkins" that is still a 40 goal a year forward.

I feel another top of the line KPF would set is up nicely, but rare as hens teeth and expensive as

I mean if Walter wants to hang around and stay in Sydney let's sign him

Would love a combo of Walters and McDonald...

Yep credit to the Suns they often forced him into kicking from spots he's not best kicking from.

But in those cases I'd just like to maybe see him tone it down and play the basics more.

First world problem I know.

 

[The King!]

When do we play the cats

Again they look bloody good

Lets see how they look after their next 5, might lose all of them

Logan is currently entrenched in the top 10 goal kickers in the AFL.

He’s up there with Jeremy Cameron & ahead of Naughton, Daniher, Larkey … and well clear of Ugle Hagan.

And yet he cops criticism here.

Think it comes with maturity, you mentioned Rampe and he has that wisdom and experience Blakey is still developing

 

[Ticky009]

He played four quarters today Amartey

Yeah was about to comment on that. This is the type of game we need from him against better teams.

is quicker than I thought

 

[Donza]

Lloyd was better hidden on the wing

 

[Dan87]

There's something about Amartey seriously.

He makes it look really easy at times

Can set shot

I believe in the bloke

I know right!! His field kicking has always been okay but hot damn his placement has been superb this year.

Taylor Adams is quicker than I thought

Taylor Swift?

Boom tish .





I'll be at Rooty Hill RSL twice weekly.
Try the veal.

I know I go on about it a lot and it's probably annoying, but I just love our forward line. I really feel like it's the kind of forward line where no one NEEDS to be dominant, but any of them COULD be dominant on their day.

Gold Coast's defence was the hardest to score against this year prior to today and we notched up another 100+.
