Autopsy NM v West Coast - the great choke!

[Jasemon]

For all the people keen to sugarcoat the defeats, I am reliably informed Clarko tore strips off the players afterwards.

I’m happy to hear that, however as long as the biggest strips torn were off our leadership group.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Watch out. I have seen this group respond to this.

By sooking and sacking the coach?

 

[Jasemon]

Wish that was a members first video

Yeah they only give us the post game team debriefs from the coach after a win.

Members would much more appreciate theses ‘educational’ pieces after a loss.
At least so we know the players are being held accountable for dishing up shite like they did yet again on the weekend.

Two items (of many) that should be on the whiteboard for immediate attention, conceding red time goals, and smothers, are there stat's available for these ? Re. smothers, we always seem to be the recipients rather than the perpetrators, and red time goals we are probably league leaders.

 

[Jasemon]

We can never relax and it's been a very long time since we have been able to relax at the footy I personally haven't relaxed at the footy since round 16, 2001.

Ah well, let's see how they respond this week.

I don’t think I’ve relaxed at the footy since the 90s

Would be a safe bet. Can't imagine he was targeting guys like Duursma or RHJ.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Been told they copped one of the all-time sprays, post-game.

Music to my ears. This group needs a ****ing wake-up call.

I honestly can't wait for the Hawks game, it'll be a direct case comparison. Look at their rise, their culture, their connection as a group on-field, they're having the season nobody expected for a side that was equal to ours not that long ago and were down the ladder.

There are genuinely no excuses anymore come next year. This season is on track to be a failure.

 

[DuckYeah]

Watch out. I have seen this group respond to this. I love how Clarko demands standards now we have seen what we are capable of.

The loss stung

He went back and apologised and did it before he had any cohesion with the players. He ****ed up and he was an awful coach.

 

[Ashley B]

My thources tell me Big Al brought out his guitar after the game . Players were ready for some Kumbaya he did this instead

 

[the big lebowski]

better not apologise to them for this one

 

[DuckYeah]

I reckon Luke McDonald would of been on the team bus afterwards crying.

 

[Ashley B]

I reckon Luke McDonald would have been on the team bus afterwards crying.

Well Nobles broke one of our players allegedly so much so he left . Maybe Ronald will too.

 

[Hojuman]

Let's see if there is any response, or JUH kicks 6 & Bont. has 40+.

I reckon Bailey Dale will have a big one only had 14 disposals on the weekend 14 killed my bet lol

I actually wouldn’t be at all surprised if Clarko pulled a stunt like this!!

Well that’s what my thources told me , so it must be true lol

More players and votes in a losing side; tells you what a cluster it was

 

[muttley45]

Cody Weightman, 4 kicks and 1 behind, bet he's looking forward to the game

Will kick 1 or 2 at least you would think

 

[Topparoo]

Just watched the replay of the last quarter. Some key errors cost us the game.
1. Kicking for goal, two crucial and relatively straight forward shots for goal by Larkey and Curtis both missed.
2. Hacking the ball out of the defensive half of the ground, most notably by Zurrharr and McDonald which enabled the ball to be kicked straight back into the eagles forward line
3.McDonald's dropped chest mark in the last minute
4. The amount of space given to Allen by Chom and other defenders, resulted in two last quarter goals including the winning goal.
Hopefully Chom learns from this, can't be too critical of someone learning his defensive craft. However it was a game we definitely should have won.

Unless my arithmetic is failing me, vote numbers are the same with 15 apiece!

Look how hard nosed and tough he has been on the players. Even though I was like Sam was carrying on, saying bring their mouth guards to training, like they're playing finals, he needs to relax, he's overrating his team, like come on mate lol

Oh how I was wrong. Whether Sam was fake it, until you make it, he made the players not to get to the finals, he made them believe they deserve to be there. They are oozing with confidence rn, all because they now believe the narrative being pushed by their coaches and staff. They must love abiding to the high standards of mental toughness that is the culture at the club.

Even them losing that game in the last few mins against GWS, Sam was furious because that is not the standards they have set. I didnt see it as a big deal, they got close to one of the best teams in the AFL? No, thats not good enough, we are the best

A lot of our players have coasted along and believe we ain't good enough. We don't believe we can win every game, and even though that seems unreachable for us ATM just refer to above.

The mindset needs to change at north, we need to be tougher mentally. Its between the ears, our list is chock full of talent. Happy to hear Clarko is fed up with our players not believing either

Yeah but apart from that …

Yep thats the first quarter, who knows from there.
