Autopsy Port defeat Freo by some margin idk anyway the season's over

[rgauci]

What's with the love everyone has with Reidy. He was terrible and let Sweet look like an All Australian.

A lot of the moments Sweet looked good was opposed to Jackson, not the 2nd gamer.

Jackson infringed in the ruck, as well as being absolutely dominated at the start of the 4th quarter. Where we conceded 6 inside 50s in the space of 5 minutes?

dad said something quite interesting. voss moves well enough that if he were to 10kg he would be a good midfielder.

Whilst I wouldn’t go that far. Reid’s showed his limitations compared to Darcy. Once the ball hits the ground after the tap, he may as well walk off the ground. Unfortunately at AFL level in 2024, he also doesn’t win enough of the taps to justify this lack of ground presence.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens if Darcy is out next year for some games. I think there are times where Reidy will certainly do but still don’t think he’s an automatic inclusion

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

The most frustrating thing these past two games is that we had multiple shots in a row to give us the lead in the last and we sprayed them all. Then the oppo goes down the other end and nails theirs and it’s game

All mental. Our guys can't handle the pressure of the moment. If this game was a dead rubber they probably nail most of those shots.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

The question we have to ask here is JL getting the best out of this group on a weekly basis? If the answer is no then his time is up. It's as simple as that.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Yeah, he’s had bad games but didn’t think this was one of them

Third highest docker in player ratings
Highest in supercoach

Did more right than most

Switta is more a midfielder than a forward. It just kills you when one of your supposed forwards can't score.

 

[DeanS]

lol what? If a player plays a poor game, you're allowed to say he played a poor game. Doesn't mean you're writing them off. How is this so hard to understand?

The reason it's hard to understand is that you chop and change. You say you're only commenting on his game yesterday but you said "He averaged 8 disposals a game this season. When he's not kicking straight, his minimal touches are worthless. The days of minimal touches as a forward are long gone,". Anyway, I think a KPF of his age will take time. I'm willing to give him that time. I reckon his future is very bright.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

People are happy to ignore how piss weak Amiss last 3 games were. Like you said, physically beaten by Zerk Thatcher of all people, all freaking day!

0 marks and 2 kicks after quarter time.

He averaged 8 disposals a game this season. When he's not kicking straight, his minimal touches are worthless. The days of minimal touches as a forward are long gone, JL simply has to get him more involved.

He gets a bit of a pass. 21 year old key forward in his 3rd year. His kicking for goal has been off since he was concussed. If he had of kicked a bit straighter this season he would of pushed 50 goals. He'll be fine long term.

The kid is 21 in his second full season. 2022 doesn't really count as he missed most of it with the kidney laceration.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Disappointed with Caleb's game. He's one of the guys you expect to go up a level in a game like this but he really struggled. Got a lesson from Drew.

 

[Taylor]

I don't think there's any point discussing Amiss. It's very hard to lead a forwardline as a 21 year old KPF.

The 21 year old KPF who still lead the club on shots at goal both average and aggregate.

3.4 shots/game @ 48% - Amiss (9.8 points)
3.2 shots/game @ 71% - Treacy
2.4 shots/game @ 49% - Frederick
1.9 shots/game @ 48% - Banfield

1.3 shots/game @ 46% - Switta
1.3 shots/game @ 45% - Young
1.3 shots/game @ 33% - Sharp
1.2 shots/game @ 39% - Serong
1.0 shots/game @ 30% - Brayshaw

It shouldn't be too hard to find an extra goal a game out of that group improving their shots on goal accuracy.

 

[CapitalA]

Maybe the coaches are wrong. Kinda starting to look that way.

I don't think just Brodie is the difference, we also lost Acres, Mundy, Logue and Lobb from the 2022 finals team.

 

[CapitalA]

So who we getting rid of (reasonably) to bring in Warner and Bolton. Cause we have no wings apart from sharp who is danyl pearce 2.0 with his kicking and a retiring Walters. We don't need more kids.

NOD should be playing the wing next year.

 

[BigTacoBandit]

Ken didn't rest players, not even in the last quarter when they didn't need the win nor risk injuries.

Gotta give him credit, he saw a finals pressure game and maximised on it. Perfect warn up before finals.

I have massive doubts that they will, but honestly hope they win it all this season

Could bight them on the ass now with only a 4 day break. I hope they go our in straight sets.

Darcy at least also does something different from time to time like grab the ball out of the air and kick it forward. Reidy was content to simply engage in wrestling with limited impact.

They still have a lot of issues in their forward line and backline. Held together by elite performers in JHV, Butters and Rozee.

Its an 11 day break.

 

[BigTacoBandit]

Its an 11 day break.

Oh woops. Just saw Thursday. I hate how AFL gives a week off.

 

[cardamon]

Serious question.

Do the players or supporters care more about that loss?

At times, I really feel we give more shits which frustrates fans to no end.

Honestly, from what i could see on the tv, there was a huge difference in body language between freo post loss vs carlton vs loss.

 

[Footskill]

BFooters , where everyone becomes mind readers and body language experts lol

 

[CapitalA]

Jye was absolutely schooled by a Bombers reject tonight, really hope he sorts himself out over the off season. Has gone from hero to zero reeeeeaaaal quick.

Has to just go back and watch his old tapes and go back to his regular routine. Get back to decent leading patterns.

Whoever griefed him into tinkering for more distance has completely f**ked him. He doesn't need to kick 55-60 metre bombs.

36 goals is a zero?? You are completely out of touch as per usual.

 

[apuchar]

I don't think just Brodie is the difference, we also lost Acres, Mundy, Logue and Lobb from the 2022 finals team.

That wasn't the context of the conversation. But yes, losing that much experience at one time especially in important areas has definitely set us back.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

It appears reading and comprehension isn't your strong suit.

You been in a coma the last 3 weeks?

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Amiss, Sturt and Johnson with 0 tackles for the game is not acceptable.

Jackson didn't really impose himself on the contest, and for mine it is an indictment on the forwards that JT was responsible for holding us together for the majority of the year. We couldn't even go a month without him.

There needs to be a review of the club because we are just not performing.

 

[s_wd6]

Honestly, from what i could see on the tv, there was a huge difference in body language between freo post loss vs carlton vs loss.

Yeah I’m sure our players are so happy that they lost. I’m sure there’s no chance they’re all kicking themselves for every little they could’ve gotten right in the season. Only the fans are upset. No way the guys playing for the team can feel the same way.

14:20 Drizz says there's gonna be people getting traded and people wanting to go somewhere else.
