Autopsy Pipped by 1 in a thriller!

[Dubai Quacker]

Once again, the worry is our inability to cope with opposition pressure.

Our first quarters are constantly poor, due to opposition pressure.

Can we cope with the pressure in a GF?

It’s a worry.

 

[The King!]

We really miss Mills late in defence though having said all that.

Calm head and intercept mark

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

The longer players are out eg Reid and Parker the better they come. For a star Parker is one of the worst kicks of all time . People forget last year v Freo he kicked it to them and set up a few goals .

Reid has kicked plenty worse than Logans shot etc

Reid has missed from the goal square

1. Freo were very accurate
2. Having Cleary as the sub was a mistake
3. Umpiring was dreadful
4. Melican was outstanding
5. McLean, JMac, Hayward and Lizard our best
6. We were outcoached today
7. We were off, but we have been trending towards a result like this if we are honest about our form
8. We needed to move Heeney or Warner forward to break the tags
9. Might be the loss we needed to bring back the reality of where things are at
10. Rampe looked cooked at times.

 

[The King!]

Players got around Logan after the shot was good.

I mean some Fans aren't as keen too

 

[Jack Lord]

Warner, Heeney and Gulden were all poor.

Can someone fill me in on who Fred tagged?

 

[The King!]

anyway bit like the Tigers you judge them on the response next week

Smash the saints

 

[LukeParkerno1]

On the positive least Horse might not play Campbell for Fox next week

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Can someone fill me in on who Fred tagged?

Fyfe tagged Heeney

 

[Punts]

We’re still the best in it atm

My only concern is contested mid groups like today really exposing us in finals when the game slows up a little.

That’s a real concern for me and if we can’t adjust we might be in trouble

Parker still has a role imo

 

[Millky95]

I'll never blame the player that misses the shot after the siren. If you are serious about winning a game, it should never be that situation.

(Haven't had a chance to watch the game)

It’s a worry.

Remember we generate a LARGE majority of our scores from turnovers playing a half of football with a pressure rating of 150 = we wont get to a GF to worry about it

 

[Tedeski]

29% time on ground

1 disposal.

 

[Rhysswans13]

Fair bit of disrespect for Freo in this thread which is surprising as they are putting together a solid season and are now one of the very few teams to have defeated us the last 2 times at the SCG. They are every chance to be our qualifying final opponents at the end of season and would definitely go in with some confidence.

Postive signs for Sydney to fight out the game when we weren’t at our best and hopefully it’s a timely reminder of what is required every week as we turn towards the back end of the season.

On to the Saints next week at Docklands!

Question:

If a kick after the siren gets spoiled through - does the point count, or is the game over when the ball gets touched?

 

[Swansujelly]

hidden benifit. We go back to the drawing board, smash next week

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

On the positive least Horse might not play Campbell for Fox next week

Thought Campbell was good, many worse than him today.

The response immediately after the Tigers wasn’t great by any means. We barely beat West Coast.

 

[melbournehammer]

Campbell played well today, Wicks kicked 2 goals.

Our poor players were our stars.

I wouldn’t have said Campbell was one of our better players but he did definitely deliver one very big tackle in the last.

 

[Tedeski]

We better thrash the Saints next week.

A one point win away from home will do just fine thanks.

If it's spoiled through by the defending team it's a point, if the attacking team, it's dead as soon as they punch it.

 

[caesar88]

Warner once again took a run in that last minute, dodging & then missed any of our out of position players.

He really needs to pick his moments.
I'll say it again.
He thinks he is Dusty.
He is far from it otherwise he would have won us that game.
At his best he kicks 3 goals.
At his worst he scores a point.
Today a point would have drawn the game.

Dusty always hit the scoreboard.

I do and don't agree with this Ted.

I've never quite understood the Warner hype, because to me he's as much a "role player" as anyone. I don't actually think he's this supremely gifted player, like a Heeney or a Gulden.

I don't think he's a reliable field kick. I don't think he's a reliable decision-maker. I don't think he's reliable with his composure. I don't think he's reliable with his defensive and accountable efforts.

I think like everyone else in our team - besides Heeney & Gulden, who are true freaks IMO - he has a few things he is great at, and in the right team and game plan, he can shine with them if he sticks to that role.

It's why I think he is both overrated yet unfairly blamed on the few occasions he doesn't deliver in his role.

 

[Tesla Tenet]

We won the free kicks 17-9, and we lost due to the umpires. Fair dinkum.

You really need to check the numbers on Parker's efficiency against other mids instead of continually regurgitating this.

And he's a solid a kick for goal.

Adams has come in and done a good job for us, no question, but it's silly to say the only reason some would prefer Parker is nostalgia. There's a reason Adams isn't still at the Pies.

 

[The King!]

I wouldn’t have said Campbell was one of our better players but he did definitely deliver one very big tackle in the last.

I didn't give him votes but in a game where workrate was questionable Campbell, Adams etc did their role in that regard. They just seem to be first out for some. Just my opinion of course.
