Autopsy Pipped by 1 in a thriller!

[The King!]

I would like the Club to adopt a set of golden rules re selecting injured players.

Horse should have input but no more than any other club figure.

I honestly believe selecting lame players is his ‘Achilles Heel “. He is completely untrustworthy on the subject and should have no say on selection of injured players in Match Committee.

Fwiw I believe he stupidly believed the lies of others on the Reid selection issue and was let down.

Horse doesn't just pick the team alone. We really don't have the information to discuss this to be honest, we don't see the medical information, we don't see selection meetings etc

 

[the hypnotoad]

They happen.

Trick is to try and make sure they dont happen on the big days that count.

what we do in response next week is the immediate focus
ideally, come out in a fury and stomp on st kilda ... they struggle to get past 60-70 points, so hit them from the jump
if we can't manage that, the questions and doubts become a bit more significant

Hayden McLean

AND 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES HE WAS PLAYING FROM BEHIND !

 

[Tedeski]

It was a shit performance , but the idea it disqualifies us a being a good side that some like to run with is baffling.

We have some supporters who seem to dismiss everything we do and pump up everything the opposition too. Seem to enjoy us losing , in their element. Not saying that's you either , but we have lost one game at home by 1 point. That's pretty good

Yes it is good but we need to quit the two bad quarters per game.

 

[The King!]

Yes it is good but we need to quit the two bad quarters per game.

We have done that like umm once

 

[Tedeski]

We have done that like umm once

We’ll go again I’m sure but my end game thinking is what would happen here at the G on GF day.
That my measurement got this team now.
Last 3 GFs have been tormenting.
Don’t think I could deal with another one like those.
We need to iron out the bad starts/quarters.
That’s all.

Don't let one blip sour a great year, we can do this mate

 

[The Mares Leg]

I missed the game - did Grundy struggle with Darcy and
Jackson?

 

[ashep]

I thought Darcy bullied him a bit, but on replay it looked like Grundy was getting the best of the taps but they simply weren't going to our blokes.

Not his best outing but battled all day.

That was a quick journey

 

[Swannie0307]

LOL this 'Mares Leg' flog has been suspended in quick time ... well done Mods, he's clearly a troll !!

 

[Mister B]

That was a quick journey

Was just thinking the same!

 

[Swannie0307]

Re Mills, while I'd love him to get back in the side asap, we are still (effectively) 2.5 games clear at the top, so there's certainly no need to rush him back in atm.

There are many things I like about McLean but his passion is top of the list.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

We have close to 14 years, where he has been theone constant.

You think Longmire is solely responsible for selection, and over rules doctors?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

That is not what I suggested.

 

[The King!]

That is not what I suggested.

You said selecting lame players was his Achilles heel, I misunderstood sorry.

I would assume regardless of what we do, that the medicos sign off on all of the selections.

The worst one is clearly Reid 22 looked stuffed, Mcveigh and Mills in 16 looked off.

The Heeney looking sore a lot, Parker apparently played hurt last year.

We know Ted was injured in 12 but it worked so it doesn't get looked at.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

That was a quick journey

Agree Kingy. It was fast, Jack Hiscox levels of speed.

 

[caesar88]

AND 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES HE WAS PLAYING FROM BEHIND !

What an outstanding observation to make about our clear best player on a shocking day.

 

[Bandicoot]

I thought he was really poor and one of the reasons we lost. They won the midfield battle pretty comprehensively.

So why put all the blame on Adams. The entire midfield unit had poor days.

 

[lazy77]

I wasn't putting all the blame on him. It was a reply to a comment saying he had a good game. I disagreed.
