Autopsy autopsy v * in it for more than half a game.

[Skarrz]

“journalists” asking McKay/Goldy if they made the right decision is the biggest recency bias load of shit in existence. ****ing assess when their careers are done and they have achieved something, not after 10 games

As someone who has vocalised their disappointment of LDU’s year, I really liked his match today. He got stuck-in, chased, tackled, did the dirty stuff and found the separation which brings him into elite category of player. Well done. I pray you kick on for the rest of the year, leaving oppo campaigners in your wake.

Yeah he's been a solid b and b+ all year, but today was A grade.

 

[Dodecahedron]

The thing is that when we turn it over, it isn’t even close. Not even to a 50/50. Straight to the opposition in the most dangerous position possible. Every time.

Theres definately a bit of synergy developing betwen him and wardlaw.

 

[justroyal]

The weirdest shit is. Since jy’s been out, I haven’t been cursing McDonald at all. And Scott decides to gift it to the opposition, ****ing he’ll Luke all of sudden looks like that promised top ten pick

North is where wingmen come to die

 

[koshari]

We competed for 3 quarters, a small period of downturn lost the game. So we have finally returned to 2023 level.

In 2022, this game would've turned into a blowout by 80 pt.

Our skill level pits us in a position where we are constantly prone to coughing it up.

 

[William Caresser]

Deadset I recon we lost the game only on the back of missed tackles today. All game we let them take the tackle on, free arms clearing the ball. It just kills our setup when an oppo mid can take on 2/3 of our guys and still find someone on the outside.

Also after half time you can see huge differences in work rate. Us exiting D50 there are matchups all over the ground and we’re chipping risky 45 deg kicks. Them exiting D50 there’s an easy out to the flank, then easy kick to the wing, then one into the middle, and four forwards all leading at the ball. Shithouse work rate and very poor setup.

Pretty sure we just set a record for the lowest number of intercepts in an AFL game with just 46. The AFL average is 67 and our average is 57.

The best sides force the opposition to turn it over - we can't or don't. We are the number 1 witches hat side that has ever played.

Partly it's because we have no genuine small forwards or pressure forwards and it all flows on from there. And we have too many players generally who don't have the stamina to man up all game.

There once was a time we had the 2 best wingman in the country, and was even more extraordinary that godees had a pretty handy bloke called robbie flower getting around at the same time!

Was it me or does Tucker wait for ground balls to stop moving before he can pick it up

Now it’s a cursed position

 

[R00StaR]

I hope our side got encouraged by having longer in the game. Did get to see for myself that the other club will be found out as the season goes on and that the ladder at the moment reflects their easy start, not any big change to their flakiness, so that’s better than nothing.

Even if we lost, i was really hoping we might go into 3/4 time only a couple of goals down. Just for the players sake, knowing they're only 1 good quarter away.

 

[Roosurgence]

The thing is that when we turn it over, it isn’t even close. Not even to a 50/50. Straight to the opposition in the most dangerous position possible. Every time.

That’s what hurst most, is that a lot of our turnovers are genuine scoring opportunities that end up turning into a goal for the opposition.

They aren’t even forced turnovers. They are basic skill errors from players that have been in the system long enough to be better.

So many classic 12 point plays from this group, which hurts our ability to be in games.

 

[Roosurgence]

Tucker is shit. He is the classic set of steak knives that we are constantly going to dinner with, when they should have been chucked out or only used in an emergency.

 

[Harris 10]

Off a very low base, but Corr has put together a very solid month of footy.
McDonald has also been better the last 2 weeks.

I’ll pay both of those.
it’s nice not yelling “**** you corr and **** you lmac” in game. Long may they continue to go well!

Deadset I recon we lost the game only on the back of missed tackles today.

Missed tackles and missed kicks. Too many times our defenders would do their job and get an intercept, only for our rebound out of defensive 50 to come to a stuttering halt when someone like Scott or Tucker or McDonald would butcher a kick.

Kills any chance we have.

Agree with you on tackles as well though. We look like the weakest team in the comp.

Our skill level pits us in a position where we are constantly prone to coughing it up.

So perhaps we need to throw some money at getting the good development team

McDonald had one turnover. You're like Nostra with some of your calls.

 

[sheridan]

dawson got a footy lesson very raw, which is great for his development. hurt is ankle in the very first contest, hurt it again later in match both times went back out. A good kick too, but get to work son, we need you.
special mention to sheez what a handball and wardlaw tap were sublime.

biggest issues for me, some have been discussed already.
defensive workrate - non existent in the forward half. * waltzed it out with little to no effort.
deflating basic skill errors. Game was Auskick standard at times - comben, bergman, shiels, scott and tucker to name a few.
panic decision making which also lead to skill errors and panic kicks.
no aerial presence in forward half.
slow ball movement out of defense when a clear option is on.

turning is back after a mark, burnt zurharr in the pocket. lucky he kicked the goal. selflessness breads positive culture and confidence on the ground. ala collingwood…

positives to name a few
xerri, sheez, wardlaw, ldu, powell, corr, comben(minus his short kick to merrit).

anyway stick fat. Hopefully injury curse hits the * off button soon. it will turn…enjoy it when it does…

Go Roos!

He can take his ten dicks and go **** himself.

It’s never a dream come true for a shinboner to play at *.

 

[Chadwiko]

Not specifically talking about just this week.
Talking about the wider issue of our ball usage coming out of defense.

 

[apollo_creed]

Scotts turnovers were bad but the forwards also don't make the kick any easier by being so slow to read the play and get out of the block

He kicks it over peoples heads regularly.
And turns it over everywhere.

No ones fault but his.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Far better all round performance today - lots of individual goods/bads have been rightfully pointed out but in a nutshell what we delivered today was our best performance of the season.

Let's see what we can put together next week against the Power to see whether there are some real green shoots appearing or not.
