Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs GC

[HoneyBadger35]

Mainly positives for now, need to have a think as to how best to express the variety of negatives we learned/had confirmed today.

+ Jetta, earned his spot for a month. Sparked us out of the back 50, seems to be where he set up a bit. Interesting decision, but damaging
+ Sheed. Beast, say no more.
+ Yeo, first half particularly
+ Petrie's fourth quarter was great. Worth the price to acquire ten times over.

Early Negatives are JD and LeCras celebrating national donut day a day late, Priddis continuing to get a game. Will articulate some better thoughts later, off to play 2k.

Will say this though - you can't lament he club's ability to draft and develop kids while also embracing a full on tank. That just spells the start of a tragic, tragic cycle.

If you're going to melt, do it properly. This forum has given us so many delicious tears, it's time to give back.

Stop pretending anyone is advocating tanking mate.

Playing more than 2 blokes under 25 is not tanking.

 

[Jiggyman]

But there were some +'s

Sheed, Yeo, Petrie, Shep, Jetta, Shuey battled, Vardy progressing.

 

[kane249]

-Darling and Lecras both not stepping up with Kennedy out, unacceptable

 

[Embley]

-ve
Not one player has a brain
Too much ****ing dead wood at the club

+ve
Cant lose next week....though we'll give it a shake

 

[Jootube]

+
Sheed - Exceptional
Yeo/Gov - Both Elite

-
Just another confirmation of everything we've feared for the past 2 years

 

[Smeg Head]

There is no positives, we genuinely are no good and looks years away from being able to compete at the pointy end of the year.

+ Sheed and Jetta were incredible
+ Shuey wasn't super influential, but still team (and game?) high clearance count.
+ Hard calls need to be made about LeCras and Darling after neither kicked, nor looked like kicking a goal.

- Played three tall defenders and still got beaten by an i50 mark in the last minute of the game.
- Hurn kicking sideways with 40 seconds to go
- Coaching

Postives
Sheed. Almost our best mid atm. Getting involved up forward too.
Yeo. Played well enough
Petrie. Really stood up in the second half

Negatives
Priddis. It's over
Lecras. 0 goals in a month. Time to step aside and develop someone else
Hutch and Duggan quiet again
Darling had no impact.

Didn't hurt that much as our season was already done the other week. Think its time now since top 4 is out of the question we trial some new blood. Also bring Lycett back

Mark Neeld approves this message

 

[Crimson King]

It's all about Sheed, baby.

 

[Eagleboy68]

Positives:
Sheed. Yeo. Jetta.
Better draft pick finishing in the bottom eight.

Neg:
Ball use
Priddis
Darling
Priddis
Cripps
Priddis

I'm on the trade darling bandwagon now. He offers little for us. He is mentally shot. Probably be a good outcome for him and the club.

This is what makes me think the unthinkable.

We have wasted our opportunity to build a team around a once in a generation player in Naitanui. Trade him and start again.

 

[Ok Boomer]

+ Sheed, Yeo, Jetta.

Will do negatives when feeling more rational lol, but yeah Priddis.

 

[wraglesweb]

Don't know if to get pissed or go to bed.......

Nah can't go the Melbourne route and get rid off all experience and talent for picks.

This result should mean some serious questions and heat on the coaches and playing group.

-
Hurn chipping it to the pocket with 40 seconds left...wtf
everyone else

 

[Quinz]

Darling needs to be dropped or traded, for his own good. Can't keep playing him in current form and hope for something different.

Some of the younger brigade through the middle were good in Sheed and Yeo.

 

[TassieEagle]

+
Jetta back to back good games.
Yeos first half
Petrie clunking marks

-
Forward structure (only forwards to kick goals were Cripps and Hill I think)
Defensive talls Schoey and Emac were awful
Midfield still getting carved up. Too slow but jeez Mitchell is all class at least.

2017 over. Won't play finals.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

This isn't about you saying play Duggan. This is about the people who wanted to start a rebuild four weeks ago after a bad fourth quarter against the Dogs.

We're way too old. Playing the kids is fine. Don't pretend nobody is clamouring to blow it up.

 

[Crimson King]

Biggest positive is that the wallpaper over the cracks is no longer effective. Hopefully, the 3 losses in a row should trigger a change in approach and mindset.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Will do negatives when feeling more rational lol, but yeah Priddis.

The two forwards who were most talked about needing to step up in Kennedy's absence were barely seen on the ground today.

I fail to see how Priddis was Worst on Ground in so many people's minds. He was not good, but there was no shortage of culprits ahead of him.

 

[yogibbear]

We were so bad they might just play some of the younger blokes now.

OUT: Hutchings
IN: Masten

 

[TOA.]

Put a fork in Lecca and Priddis - they are well and truly cooked. Time to move on.

Hill absolutely kills me. Kicked two goals but he missed the shot to win us the game and then had a horrible passage of play on the far HFF when they broke 3 of his tackles and took the ball inside. He always goes missing when we need him.

We have not pace through the middle - teams literally stroll around when they make space as we have nobody willing or able to pressure them.
