Autopsy Autopsy vs St Kilda - Round 11, 2021

[RossHenshaw]

I think this could be Goldys last year.

 

[PMG]

Young & Menadue won't be making the starting 22 when we have a full list.

No more to 31 has to go and Mahoney

 

[Samsquanch]

We're competitive when the opposition hits the 40+ point lead mark.

This appears to be our game plan. I don’t see any evidence of any other pattern to the way the team plays.

 

[justroyal]

Scotts used Ziebell and Cunnington as forward options in games. Sometimes bagging 4-6 goals.

Why is Nobel so adamant on leaving Ziebell at HB.
It worked for Brisbane because hodge was actually good

 

[Agenda 21]

I feel nothing.

Said my cheese and kisses.

 

[Chadwiko]

BMac going down is sh*t. The bye now odds on to give us a touch up next week.

BMac is fine. It was precautionary more than anything.

 

[Only Forwards]

Larkey is B grade at best.

If this is true we're pretty f***ed.

We'll either need to prize another KPF outta somewhere or wait a long time for someone else to develop.

He needs a genuine tall,forward beside him.

We have no second tall option (Xerri wasn't ready to start the year. Will be interesting to see how he goes when he comes in).

X should have been in this week. He could not have done more and denying him a game was stupid.

We have no crumbing forwards.

It's an ongoing problem and has been for some time.

We have no depth up forward.

Not when a bloke that is smashing the door down is being denied games no.

This isn't a 'structure' problem. It's a personnel problem, and anyone who tries and tells you otherwise is a fool.

We've had this issue for longer than we've had Noble if that is what you're getting at.

Brown struggled one out. Larkey is struggling one out.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'll say just one thing.
Not playing Xerri is a nonsense.

It is, but what's the point with this silly game plan? Sooner or later people are going to have to confront this!

Imagine how much more productive Cam & Larkey would be if we put X at CHF and played more direct?

The smaller blokes would also benefit.

 

[JarOfConfidence]

Easy to be bitter n’twisted but this team ain’t going anywhere in next few years if Dumont, Garner and Atley are still getting games. The definition of list cloggers ....

 

[Reagan Smash]

Ball watching and getting sucked into the contest unnecessarily every damn week.

 

[PMG]

We need small forwards that can do this

Practice that at training it's called measuring

 

[Only Forwards]

Agreed.

Larkey is a 2nd tall. We need that #1 target. Also need a crumber or two who can apply forward pressure.

This would be a structural issue wouldn't it?

 

[Waynesworld]

A lot of that was due to how pathetic Goldstein was today.

Ryder destroyed him.

I’ve noticed over the past couple of weeks, players can drop off the cliff pretty quick and unfortunately I reckon Goody is almost done.

We have holes everywhere.

I say “blame the board “ !

 

[Only Forwards]

1 name Charlie Comben

He has to get in the field first.

 

[Digby Morrell]

At least the quarter we turned up was the 4th. That was new and interesting to see

 

[Snake_Baker]

Where can I see those stats Snake?

Saaauuusageee Sach!

 

[the big lebowski]

Young & Menadue won't be making the starting 22 when we have a full list.

They are not up to it if we want to be a good side.

 

[Chadwiko]

We've had this issue for longer than we've had Noble if that is what you're getting at.

Brown struggled one out. Larkey is struggling one out.

Our forward line looked the most dangerous when we had two talls (various combinations of Brown/Majak/Larkey/Waite/Wood/Petrie/Black) WITH crumbing forwards/forward pressure type players floating around (Boomer/Thomas/etc).

We've been seriously lacking the latter since Thomas and Harvey left, and the talent at the former has been thin at best.

 

[SammyRoo]

I’ve noticed over the past couple of weeks, players can drop off the cliff pretty quick and unfortunately I reckon Goody is almost done.

We have holes everywhere.

Goldy rolled his ankle badly last week. Xerri probably should have come in.

Goldy will get a freshen up over the bye and will be back

 

[darko]

This would be a structural issue wouldn't it?

More of a personnel issue. Realistically we'd have 2 talls, mid sized guys like Garner and Zurhaar, and couple crumbing types.

Larkey, Zurhaar and Garner are being played as 1-2-3 options. They are more of 2-3-4.

 

[Horizons_00]

I’d be ******* suicidal if I was an Aints supporter.. what a joke of a club

They are so shit. Commentators stating “they’re right in the mix”

Ah no lol

 

[outwecome2play]

I know I am in the minority but after a slow start they battled it out. Was looking like a 12 goal loss. The team is improving every week. I am firm believer in the fact that these types of losses will make us better going forward.
Trust the process

 

[Only Forwards]

Our forward line looked the most dangerous when we had two talls (various combinations of Brown/Majak/Larkey/Waite/Wood/Petrie/Black) WITH crumbing forwards/forward pressure type players floating around (Boomer/Thomas/etc).

We've been seriously lacking the latter since Thomas and Harvey left, and the talent at the former has been thin at best.

IMO our forward line looked the most dangerous playing 3 talls.

Something we probably could have looked to emulate by bringing in X.

The crumber thing probably still a bit of an issue but perhaps our mediums all get a downgrade on opponent.
