Autopsy Lions prevail by 10

If Cam Rayner has a good game, you are doing something wrong.

I thought Neale was good, all things considered but in particular his experience.
Brought it to ground far more often than not, used the ball really well at times and didn't stuff up anything from what I remember, against one of the very best key backs in the comp.
Has cemented his spot in the 18 no doubt in my mind, his 2 finals were very very promising.

I'm a advocate for Neale.. but tonight he was poor... we need to look at another Key Forward in this years draft, as I personally think he still a question mark

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Ok I was prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt, but now I will call it more accurately, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Mullin will be fine long term but playing him tonight wasnt great selection.
If we leave either him or bews out for knevitt, leave duncan out and put clohesy as sub and pick sdk over stanley we probably win that. Small margins sometimes.

The Hipwood goal early was the giveaway. Watch him have a 1 kick 1 mark 0 impact game in the GF.

Rough. He’s terribly inconsistent but when he’s on he’s a match winner and has shown that numerous times across his career. He’s as likely to win the Norm Smith as he is to have 6 possessions next week.

 

[Tackle_happy]

The last two losing grand finalists ... makes sense that they both have unfinished business and that's what got them there in the end.

We wont have the picks this year to do that. We can only hope we can get cadman home in a couple of years.

Harsh to have a go at any forward tonight, the delivery was appalling.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Hmm it was 59-24 after paddy’s first goal of the third quarter… when they stepped it up we looked lost. Quite a few players didn’t do enough….

We were 35 points up?
I was at the game but didn’t think we were that far up at any stage?

Henry was good... and he was a forward

If Tanner Bruhn, Ollie Henry, Ollie Dempsey (who was very poor), Shannon Neale, Lawson Humphries, Jack Bowes

, Oisin Mullin and poor old Max Holmes want a flag then they're really gonna have to dig deep in the next year or 3.

 

[#cats2021]

If you think Bruhn was the problem you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

I'd say 10 touches from a midfielder, when the opposition mids have it on a string, is far from ideal.

The moment Eric Hipwood kicked a goal I knew it was over

 

[Cursed Cat]

If the AFL are consistent he has to get 1-2 weeks for the sling tackle.

Really? His opponent accentuated any impact to the head (was it Berry?) nice grimace, b*tch

 

[rocker_oz33]

100 %. If we keep it up for 10mins at the start of the 3rd they wilt. But we came out of HT very poorly.

Sydney will 100 % win.

If Swans win good on them they been the best team.
Even in a even ish year.
But Brisbane can beat them imo.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Checking stats and considering some players performance, an absolute indictment on the midfield than Ollie Henry, whose a low possession forward in a Rohan type vein, had more disposals than 3 starting midfielders in Atkins (who had a shocker), Bowes (who did a few nice things but.... not a good game) and Bruhn (who was unsighted)....
Absolute indictment on those 3 in particular.

The stats absolutely speak for themselves.
And yet I thought all 3 were ok, by their own standards.
We probably shouldnt have been as close as a Prelim.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Mullin gambit didn't pay off. Maybe should have tried Mannagh in the guts.

Homles speed.

Mullin game vs port was good on Horne.

Interesting were he's career goes from here.

Stanley wasn't the problem tonight and SDK isn't a ruck (not yet anyway).

SDK is a good backup ruck in the Blicavs role, which is where his best games this year where (not including the Bulldogs game), but people thinking he is going to be like TDK next season aren't on the right track.

If Stanley retires, which is a possibility, offseason shopping list needs to be 2 mids and a proper ruck.

Conway is never fit, Furphy is untested, Blicavs is better in defence and SDK has about 5 games in the ruck so hardly a good enough pool and if Blicavs goes to shit SDK might be needed in defence.

All year it was an issue not having a midfielder who can rack up possessions, and Smiths best season in 2022 he was averaging 29.
Smith would be a massive improvement in the middle but we would still be a midfielder short.

That said I hope we sink a whole preseason into Stewart in the midfield. He was excellent with the exception of the Dockers game since he went into the middle after the Essendon match.
Not sure why he didn't spend much time in the middle tonight but not playing there hurt us.

No we weren’t

25 and they won by 10. 35 point turnaround. Was 61-36 in cat’s favor, then….. didn’t get it done unfortunately.

Agree on Clohesy, Mullin seems an easy target when half a dozen of our ‘stars’ just didn’t show up.

 

[Grimoz]

Good to see Bailey Smith in the crowd supporting the boys.

Really?

Homles speed.

It wasn't bad but helped by how dominant we were, JHF averages 21 disposals a game and against Mullin had 18, he averages a goal a game and kicked one on Mullin and he was Ports 2nd best player.

So lets not act like he completely shut him out. I think just about anyone could have had a similar day on JHF.

 

[nohairandfair]

Our third quarters have been a problem for a few years now. And sure enough it was groundhog day once again. Whatever is going on in the rooms at the main break, FFS change it up!

Rayner has been awesome this year
