Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Norf

[Ambrose Burnside]

Only real negative was Atley's knee injury. Looked bad

Cripps, Hutch, Duggan all a week closer. Nic Nat hasn't had surgery yet.

I hope we don't blow our load against Richmond in a couple of weeks time like Collingwood did a couple of weeks ago.

2 more wins guarantee top 4 and if we can keep % up, 3 more guarantees top 2. Very nice.

 

[LittleGreekGod]

+ JD still clunking grabs a la early 2018.
+ JK now getting amongst it.
+ Cripps, Hurn Hutch still to return.

- 2nd quarter mini-fadeout. These things happen, we responded after h-t

And Tough nut Duggan

At times the boys were a little lazy running back defensively. That was a bit of a negative.

Other than that, not much went wrong. Kennedy and Darling firing in the same game was beautiful. Jacko Nello exceeded my expectations and no injuries

 

[PintSzedSlasher]

Josh Kennedy, as good a player as he seems a bloke . Great milestone.

Geez that zuhar kid can play and he's tough . If there is any inkling of go home factor in him, we should jump all over it.

Kelly is the player we should be going after big time. Would be the icing on the cake

Credit where credit is due, Masten has put together the best month of footy I have seen from him for a very long time. Hoping he can keep it up when Hutchings returns.

Not going to lie I thought he was done and I don't think it was the wrong opinion at the time but credit to him he has turned it around.

Not sure about that. We have missed the 4 with 16 wins before

The big positive is we keep playing the kids- Cameron- Allen- Watson- Petch-Waterman and Cameron, sure they are not setting the world on fire, but what they are getting is invaluable experience, nothing can beat that.

JK, obviously the illness was pretty harsh, his work up the ground was what had been missing, today it was the JK of old, presenting, tackling and hitting the packs.

Our indigenous boys foot skills are pretty special and can make things happen that others can't.

Sitting second spot this late in the season after a flag last year, with a fair turnover of players is a fair effort.

Negatives

Need to work on our work around the stopages, teams take it away far to easy at times with little pressure, which puts our back line under the pump.

Still having moments were we go to sleep in games, lucky we have another gear, might not want to do that in a final though.

JK didn’t get his annual bag of 10

Saving it for the GF

 

[bunderson]

I thought Petch had a game of almosts

almost broke away a number of times through a pack....
almost took off with the loose ball but a couple of bad bounces....
was in the right spot for the mark with both Waterman's and Allen's goals....
burnt by Rioli and would have run into an open goal....

could have easily finished with 4 goals

almost a big positive.

 

[twce13]

Real quality performance.

I really like petch, his pace can break a game open. im just questioning if hes tough enough to Deal with the finals heat in 2019.

Missed a running goal that was very gettable.

Basically he is in the right positions but not the enough polish to finish yet. That makes perfect sense for a kid and is a really good sign.

True but he isn't going to get finals experience without playing finals.

agreed, exciting times ahead!!

Good 49 points win.

What is wrong with Waterman?
He looked exhausted since 1st qtr. He was lucky to receive 2 good deliveries inside 50!

 

[Astro7]

*(Eagle Ego-Waterman is an asthmatic, so is Cripps)
Didn't know what result to expect from this game, but great to see the real Eagles turn up!
It all came together for 4 qtrs mostly, and they did what was required at this stage of season.
I criticised Gaff earlier today and he made me eat my words - they tasted okay with chilli sauce?
JD in beast mode again! JK a Zen goalmaster and true gent! (ah, those JK critics!!?)
Leaked some easy goals at the end, frustrating, need that %. But tired legs off a 6 day break.
A few easy marks by opp in their forward, was surprised, given our defenders, Hurn makes the difference and the balance right. Franky had a learning curve today, that's ok.
Yep, Cameron was quiet. Might've had some heat on him.
Can't believe where Lions are at? Are they that good, are they finals pretenders?
We looking good at the right time..Hurn, Hutch, Cripps and Duggan back,
maybe NN, no more injuries please.

I dunno if I've laughed harder this year at Willie's superman dive. Just the contrast between his epic goal earlier in the match, and how hard he bought the candy himself. He got massive airtime too!

Intent was certainly there all game, glad to see Willie finding form because he's our biggest x-factor.

 

[Balls In]

Allen is setting the world on fire imo. He is killing it.

 

[Tom_Thumb]

Our best is better than anyones. I wish we can do it for 4 quarters tho.

Closest game yet to a 4 quarter effort though.

Yep. Only half a quarter bad this time.
