Autopsy Big Big Loss - Giants over Freo by 9 points in Sydney

[largebus]

Sorry but the whole "Play Reidy last 2 weeks and we win both of them" being peddled is horseshit
He was in the team today and we didn't win; didn't disgrace himself but Briggs got well on top as the game wore on, to the point where he was kicking it out of the ruck.

Our missed tackles at clearances are a far bigger problem

 

[thistimeforsure]

Had a crack but that’s not enough at this time of year

Cox was bad but he gets 10x as much criticism when he’s had just as much excuse to be underdone and below his best as some others

Thought Reidy competed hard
Freddy bounced back
NOD gave us some drive

Some of our key players were a bit shit

Young kinda disappearing again with the game on the line
Clark and Ryan don’t like defending anymore
Serong couldn’t influence the game when it mattered
Fyfe +8 offensively but - 1000 as soon as he hasn’t got it … and he just can’t get it enough anymore

Not a big fan of blow your own trumpet posts but I did cop a fair old whack on here by the ‘ true supporters ‘ when I said the Derby performance was a bit of a worry as far as the finals was concerned …. Well ?

He did better in the ruck than Jackson did last week.

Coach is dick head.

I’m back on sacking him. Not removing Banfield was unforgivable

Haha, too true, Banners probs walked off the field thinking he did great. Dead cert to be picked next week. Sadly.

 

[pavstar]

I don't give a **** about Frampton. Banfield is a flipping unco amateur.

Billy Frampton is a premiership player. There’s two or three players on every single premiership team that wouldn’t get a game on other teams

 

[malpaso]

I know Draper is a rookie but my word he has a lot to learn, ball watches too much, double and triple teams while an opponent is out the back.

 

[Wray27]

Another close loss. And Hogan was the difference.

Nope. Tom Green was the difference.
42 poss game, 27 in the 2nd half compared to Young with 6 2nd half poss.
Young must have been allergic to his deodorant.

 

[Mogumber]

Agree with above.
Fyfe is slow, and some of our blokes read their own bullshit.
I wouldn't let them in the media personally

 

[MadMac]

Sign Banfield to a 5 year contract. May as well extend Corbett too, he’s just as good a bloke. That seems to be one of the main criteria.

 

[noise36]

Whats the maths like for us making finals now?
Can't bear to look

Give up mate we are not good enough.

 

[StingBitten]

Have to beat Port and one of Hawks, Dogs or Blues has to lose either this week or next.

After this game, it's the first time all season where we no longer control our destiny and results need to go our way to ensure we get in.

Absolute blight on JL who has shown he's a good tactical coach, but consistently wilts under pressure - 1 finals campaign across 5 seasons? Spare me, Lyon was sacked after 8 years and 4 finals campaigns that included a GF, a prelim and two Semi's. If we make finals it'll be sheer luck.

Do we have decent potential? Absolutely but that's because we have a young list with some great list management (recruiting that is) - I strongly believe a better coach would have had us in the Top 4 this year.

Missing finals this year quite frankly isn't good enough, and the supporters deserve much better than this.

Cox was struggling with an injury. Plain as day.

He always acts like that, he will play next week and do the same again

 

[FreoRicci]

Voss battled hard all game.

Reidy. Play him next week. Darcy can go in the gym and train like a mofo. 10 games he’s missed this season.
Coaches not selecting Reidy early is stupidity. He did exactly what’s needed of a depth ruck. Just battle the taps. Did much better then Jackson who was easily pushed off by Briggs

 

[malpaso]

Whilst amiss misses are incredibly frustrating he’s actually one of the few im more than happy to give excuses for

Ridiculous young and inexperienced for the role he’s playing and still can make so e of the best kpd ok second rate.

Aldo gets monstered with no help from umps

Don’t worry bout jye he’s absolute least of our problems
Will be close to our best player in time

Yeah I love Amiss, my post was that we actually should have won based on where those shots were from. Wasn't good enough.

would have been handy today.. always played well on mobile forward types ie curnow/jesse

 

[Dirty_banchez]

I thought Reidy competed well all day and his tap work is quite solid.

 

[Firesharter]

How can anyone say we are contenders with a straight face with players like Banfield game time?

When are we going to drop the good bloke mentality at the club and get ruthless with dropping players that simply aren’t at this level of football?

Weve had a couple of narrow losses against too four contenders without our full back and full forward. That’s not too bad.

 

[westy1]

Banfield , clear winner of this weeks Taberner award
B grader with a capital "B"

 

[Randomizor]

At this point I’m neither really mad nor disappointed. I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that this club isn’t actually aiming for success.

 

[StingBitten]

Haha, too true, Banners probs walked off the field thinking he did great. Dead cert to be picked next week. Sadly.

No way he'll hold himself as responsible for the loss - and although we don't know if we would've won without the 50, in a way he kind of did.

WTF cares about Logue.

and number 1 ruck

Banners must have photos that are equivalent to a get out jail free card with the selection committee….

 

[noise36]

Amiss misses proved costly today.
Banfield miss + being an absolute unco tool
NOD miss
Johnson misses

15.11 v 14.8

They missed more so it evens out! In the real world you dont win games by only kicking goals and no points, you win by key players stepping up in clutch moments.

 

[fnerd]

Yea all good , you won’t get me making too many excuses for plsyers but he’s definitely one I will .

Will win us a shit tonne of more games over the years then costs us that much I’m certain of
