Autopsy Gather round my fat hairy ass

[blackshadow]

Adelaide can * off.
Friday afternoon games are awful.
The mouthy Brisbane supporter at the pub is one smart arse comment away from gathering my foot out of his face.

Corr is having a very bad year.
Midfield is getting smashed.
Disposal has been the worst I've seen.

I'm going to sink some bourbon and seek some redemption on the pokies.

I can’t like this.

It’s arse not ass! I don’t want to be anywhere near your donkey.

 

[Samsquanch]

our trade capital should be after a CHF.

Agreed!

This is at least as big a deficiency as the gap/s in defence.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Shock horror.

The youngest and least experienced team in the comp is getting touched up by seasoned teams.

I cant work out why we with senior names playing like McDonald, Corr, Shiels, Tucker etc that we aren't braining teams who played finals last year

 

[muttley45]

It's not like Zurhaar was having a blinder in the F50, why did he never get a crack at a centre bounce for a while ?

 

[Orange Peanut]

Do Adelaide not have dodgy tobacco shops? Can't find a packet of knock-off ciggies for the life of me!

 

[SnowRoo]

Ruck isn’t a problem. Or at least not one we should be spending premium capital on.

our trade capital should be after a CHF.

Would you be brave enough to do something like LDU for Thilthorpe?

 

[king of the road]

I applaud anyone that watches or attends
I try and play golf or do anything else and just get updates on phone
Mowing the lawn, anything, I just don’t see it, I’m sorry. We are years away.

I was on a flight for work.
Almost preferable.
I’ll skim the replay. Mostly to see how Chom went given the comments.

Hopefully we gel throughout the year and can get a better game going against the teams more on our level later in the year.

Although I went to Geelong v Hawthorn. Hawks looked better than us against a stronger team.

Hope fading again.

 

[Gasometer]

Pity I still can’t read what I am typing with this garbage font colour

We should never have delisted Sugar

Hope that makes sense

 

[tales129]

I tell you what,

No expectations going into yesterday and all the faith is gone.

At least there were a few mates we could get around and have a beverage with.

And big shout out to sheez’s parents. I stopped Lana as she was getting some food and had a quick chat, bloody lovely human and they love the club - she gave me one of her badges of Harry which was a lovely touch.

The old man stood next to me at the urinal and said keep the faith. 2 years he reckons.

We’ve copped a decent rogering in the middle over the past two weeks as a collective - might be time to give Phillips a little run to see if he can add some class in there.

I think he should be given a shot but our issues are on the spread and he doesn't provide that. Our athletic profile is poor and losing JHF and TT over 2x years has been a big hit to our pressure in the middle.

 

[Moti]

He and Curtis. I find Clarko's match day coaching poor.

 

[Only Forwards]

I doubt he’d leave SA.

And it’s not a question of what I’d do.

for the right player who makes our list more structurally sound and has an equivalent output to a ‘gun’ of ours? very few players would be off limits.

The list management mistake we made was trying to build from the midfield out with no spine to speak of.

There will be nothing quick about moving from where we are.

Edit I’ll take this a step further Rory Lobb would make us instantly better.

F*** Tom McDonald who we could have gotten for free would make us look better.

However this would just be getting more shit trucks in.

We only have to get through Geelong next week in Geelong and our horror first month will be over.

Whoever is in charge of fixturing at the AFL needs a disciplinary hearing with HR…

Gather Round for us is like getting the chairs in the community hall and gathering them around in a circle for some group therapy.

"Hi my name is MM. I've been a NMFC supporter for 46 years. I understand we had a problem but over the off-season things seemed to get better. Like last year I was hopeful that everything would be OK and for the first few rounds it seemed that it could be. But then, just like last year, we were made to play the Lions at some South Australian shithole and I realise that everything is as bad as it ever was and I've given up hope. Next week we have to go to a Victorian shithole and I just can't cope anymore..."

It’s a bit ****ed tbh.
i dunno how we didn’t end up with a WC or hawks game in the first four weeks. Give us someone early at least close to our level to try and build some sort of confidence

lol.

Our start to the season was by design.

 

[Spud11]

lol.

It was, but we’ve gotta be better than that. Collingwood weren’t on the podium last year saying “yeah, we’re really lucky we played west coast and north at the mcg every week”.
We’ve just gotta start taking it to whoever we’re playing.

We’ll just head down Puckle St and buy a jar of confidence to do this shall we?

 

[Boozeroo]

At least we are not *.

 

[footy2016]

Midfield mix of Ldu, Wardlaw, Powell is simply not working. All 3 are quality midfielders, however they do not compliment one another at all. Look at Port Adelaide for example- The trio all compliment one another with a mixture of Extractor, accumulator and outside.

Really need to find a way for Sheezel/Simpkin to get into the midfield to add outside speed and a mix.

Issue is, the current 3 can’t play anywhere else and if we move Sheezel off half back we can’t replace.

We got Freo and West Coast at the start of last year, this year we got Freo again (and fared far worse, although they tell me “Freo are a different team this year, whatever that means); GWS who were touted to be bottom 4 but changed that.
And Brisbane who were on 0 until we made them look like flag favourites.

Yeah, it’s probably up to us. Expecting every other team to lower their standard to worse than ours by crossing our fingers every year is about as likely as finding a confidence shop.

 

[muttley45]

Are there any stat's available for tackles, effective v ineffective/broken ?

LDU and Powell - maybe nobles was right

There is a thread for that...
