Autopsy Opening Round v Gold Coast & Changes For Round 1 v Carlton

[_RT_]

Have at it.

 

[Lsta062]

No one can tell me that Cumberland needs to work hard to get into this side. Rather play Cumberland than Ryan and Kosi

 

[Coach_Required]

Will sum up the rest of our season. We will have moments where we look really decent but we will have more moments where we are the worst team in the comp.

We will see many 6 goal losses this year.

 

[Lsta062]

Third quarter aside, our midfield got baked by Rowell. He had 20 clearances! Apparently the most in a game was 22 clearances.

Embarrassing by our mids to allow him to go off like that

 

[terrybull]

Can’t remember last time Grimes had a really good game.

He seems to have lost confidence and his temperament is a liability in the back.

Give him a spell in the VfL or try him in a new role up forward.

We need Balta in the back.

I blame Taranto. He was a complete shit truck by all metrics

Tale of two halves. 1st half was deplorable. Pathetic. Then kept them to 3 goals in the 2nd half and moved the ball much better.

Team selection was poor and it's frustrating that most fans knew it beforehand. Samson Ryan should never have been picked and Jack Ross

was great, should never have been sub. Balta looked 100 times better as the 2nd ruck.

Game was lost in the midfield. I thought Yze was making stoppage and clearance work a priority? it was ****ing horrible, especially the 1st half.

I'm going to give them a mulligan for that 1st half but if we serve up that shit again I'll be livid.

 

[tony__montana]

Really happy with Balta fwd today, once the ball starting going fwd he looked dangerous and his work in the ruck gave us energy.
Vlastuin was incredible, Seth was great for a first game, Ross’s energy was infectious when he finally came on.

Bolton needs to play more mid, hopefully yze will realise this sooner rather than later. I actually thought hopper was very good second half as well. Gibcus and short improved after halftime.

Thought broad Ryan and Taranto were extremely poor all game. Baker not far behind. Kosi was shit but competed well in the 2nd half. Our effort in rhe first half was diabolically bad.

Next week drop Ryan, Naismith, Banks for dusty, Nank and lunch

He’s lost his pace. His place should be in the VFL helping the youngsters develop down back.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

I'm really not melty at all. That comeback was fantastic footy. Pretty clear what needs to happen.

Ryan out for Nank.
Kozi out for Lynch
Prestia out for McAuliffe
Dow out for Dusty
Kmac out for Ross
Grimes out for Bauer/Brown/Tresize

We win that game

 

[Groupie_]

when we came back umps put the clamps on us

dummas first free kick win since his essendoom days

we will flog carlumpireton

big sexy to kick 10

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Positives:

Maurice. Justified selection. Provided spark when no one else was.
Vlaus
Balta
Pickett. Way better than Banks at this stage.
Campbell
Ross. Should never be sub again. It’s criminal.
Hopper. Early disposal errors but was good overall.



Negatives:

Skill errors. Some horrible stuff in the 1st half.
Centre bounces. Witts too good. Damning that Balta did better than the taller blokes.
Grimes. Still ok in the contest but the brain fades continue.
Taranto. Terrible skill errors.
And our stoppage mids should be embarrassed.

 

[tigersnag]

Extremely concerning that the coaching staff thought that Ryan and Kozi are up to it. Both miles off it.

The midfield is all wrong and it was concerning that no changes were made until the game was long gone.

The tackling was about the worst I've seen.
The foot skills from Taranto, Hopper, Grimes, Young, Naismith, Prestia, Broad just deplorable.

We only looked good when we put speed into the game from both the Riolis - mostly Dan.

Looking at our draw - we could easily be 0-5

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Ryan is a hack!
We will get smashed by the Blues

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Hoppers big issue as I see it is his speed at getting ball to hand/boot. He just gives tacklers so much time to impede him.

Hopper was much better after half time.

 

[DustinsGuns]

Rowel had 20 clearances. First time in 25 years.

Our mids should be embarrassed

 

[TigerImposter]

I just want games in the kids bc our old timers are taking us nowhere. i don't care if we lose by more, but at least we are investing in the future. Yze is a moron starting Ross as sub.
Grimes, KMac, Prestia, KOSI and Hopper are not best 22. Ryan is NGTMI and by the way that young Basketballer in the VFL is better than him.

 

[tugga]

Really hope of we suck this year, which think we will, we don’t finish 10th or thereabouts.

 

[Coach_Required]

What's really sad is I don't think we got beat by a good team. To me suns went to water when the pressure came. Our lack of midfield effort or want is really concerning.

 

[DustinsGuns]

Hoppers big issue as I see it is his speed at getting ball to hand/boot. He just gives tacklers so much time to impede him.

All our mids are the same. Taranto, Hopper and Prestia are the same player to varying degrees of quality and none of them are defensive enough

 

[Triggering Tiger]

Positives are we get back possibly nank, dusty, and big sexy next week.

 

[SavDog23]

The Dimma Curse begins...

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Ryan is a hack!

Got his hands on it a few times but disappointing it was straight to Rowell each time.

What I still don't like is the body language. Sulks and slumps a lot.
