Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Carlton

[eaglespremiers]

That’s not true, you ‘liked’ one of my posts earlier.

You get a "like" for self-awareness.

Got to get Gaff out of the club. Liability.

Alright tennis fans, if we can keep things light and breezy and stay on topic of our 10 goal capitulation with a once in a century lack of scoring to bookend the game. Cheers.

+ Edwards will make it.

The disparity between our best and worst football, not even week to week but within games, is mystifying.

Negatives; Without going into the numerous; the two glaring negatives to me were;
1) Bar a few periods, totally outworked.
2) Nic was quite horrible. Despite the ragging on Williams by some, he was actually equal to and possibly better than Nic today. You can take that a couple of different ways but Geeze.... watching Nic get regularly done by De Koning and even Silvagny, getting out marked and out manoeuvred as a marking outlet, whilst not even managing to read and get to the contest as a forward was hmm... disappointing. 7 disposals...Yikes.

Positives: Really just getting time into a few youngsters and a few periods of genuine contest.

Big positive: some bloke on the train just screamed out “holy fu ck, I just won $80” and all the drunk yobs went ballistic cheering. Was awesome.

And everyone clapped.

That's almost enough for a tank of petrol.

Shows plenty of signs and you can see why they want to persist with him. Intercept marking was tremendous today.

Horrendous at using the footy, but I remember watching Darren Glass in the early days or Eric Mackenzie on any day.

It’s worth persevering with a big gangly KPD because this clearly isn’t him at his best, and our list is in need of younger guys making it.

Completely cooked themselves getting back in to it. First and fourth terms inexcusably bad.

The approach has changed but we still have these huge 2021 patches of scoreless quarters.

So much work to do on the fitness of these boys. Glimpses of a new approach will only do so much when you down tools for quarters and halves of games. Shocking way to let go of the rope at 3QT.

Whose responsible for our WAFL levels of fitness and lack of pre season

 

[HoneyBadger35]

That's almost enough for a tank of petrol.

He told his missus if he won two more bets he could afford an engagement ring. She asked him how much he thought engagement rings cost.

Man got roasted by the passengers. Train ride >>>> half of that game today.

In my mind, bit of everything. I don’t think you can undersell the impact of injuries and Covid on derailing our preseason and destroying their initial fitness base, but then who is in charge of preventing those things cropping up. Soft tissue injuries and hot spot in the foot injuries have been a prevalent theme for four years now.

This is up there with sack the coach or kick it forward for BigFooty cop out solutions, but it does appear time that our S+C department gets a thorough review.

I haven’t watched the full game yet but normally Harry is a pretty good kick. I’ll get a chance tomorrow

 

[Matera92]

JJ was a big positive, has found his niche as a running HBF.

- NN getting destroyed by a kid, embarrassing. Unfit and slow.

We didn’t give a shit in the first quarter, and then tried for a bit, then didn’t give a shit in the last quarter. Pretty much the same thing we’ve been doing since 2018. We turn up when we want to, for as long as we feel like it, and then we just jog ten metres behind the opposition watching them win the ball.

 

[18082015]

Thought Harry E was ok - he clearly is improving and we should persist with him.
Not good enough for either Curnow or McKay and lets face it - about 8 of goals of that pair were kicked against him
But either way, we have to persist. He has potential.
Those couple of contested grabs he took against Curnow shows he has what it takes, but needs another year or two.

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

NN horrible today. Like what I’m seeing from Jones off HB. Second quarter was great but 1st and 4th deplorable

 

[Mudguts12]

I now understand why Rioli was off his game today

God damn it, Willie's into the crack now.

Even old slobbo is calling Ryan out::

7. This is not a witch hunt but …

My most disappointing player this year is Liam Ryan, the same player who I had inside the top 15 in the top 50 two years ago. He wouldn’t be in the top 300 if we did a list right now. Can you remember the second half of the 2020 season? It was phenomenal, all marks and goals, and playing tricks with the opposition and the match-up between Ryan and Collingwood’s Brayden Maynard in the elimination final was a pleasure to watch. This season, he’s kicked 14 goals from 11 games and averages 10 disposals. When I say disappointing, I’m disappointed for him and for all football fans because he was the ultimate entertainer. Now, he just looks lost. Let’s hope he can get it back.

When you're consistently losing the inside 50's by massive numbers most of your forwards are probably going to look pretty shit

Starting the posatives and negatives thread 5 mins after 3 QTR time.
Can you manifest a meme?
How early can the thread get started...
lets give this old unfunny starting next weeks autopsy thread before the game day thread a rest.

 

[Goroyals22]

How far has this club fallen when you have a coach being proud of one quarter of a game… especially when you have 9 premiership players plus gaff, natanui, kelly and sps playing who have loads of experience…
And again the weak journos not asking the hard questions why ryan has gone backwards , why fat nat is fat and why there now is an inability to both start and finish games off.

 

[dkalphy]

Really dont get the hate towards Edwards. He's 21 years old...Thought he was fine, can't do anything when carlton mids are kicking into 50 with minimal pressure.

 

[RookiePick]

We are coached abysmally.

We are coached abysmally because our players, by and large, fall well below AFL fitness standards.

I anticipated we would lose by 6-8 goals and I'm still disappointed in what the side served up.

Just gormless viewing.

Really feels like we are in a death spiral that won't be arrested until a broom goes through all levels of the club.

If they can't make some hard calls over the off season we are in for a decade of pain.

He can stop playing from 5m behind the guy who'd kicked 5 goals. When he did he actually won some contests.
