Autopsy Rd 14 Loss: Here comes another one, just like the other one

[The Bighouse]

We are doing Martin a disservice by playing him, he is clearly not over that injury or at the very least lacks confidence in his knee.

Fisher isn't moving great either and doesn't have his usual zip.

At least the losses don't hurt as much as they did a few weeks ago.

We are this crap.

Both should be spelled.
Honey for 1. Fisher rarely shows up. Fogarty is also hit & miss since the start of the year.

 

[BlueZombie]

Jump on the fan cams on utube blue abroad for the weekly therapy session.

Already waiting for tonight's show to start!

 

[No1Suspect]

Just can't defend that outing. We have contested players, but we persist in wanting to play an open style

Our wings should be our quickest players....(saad aside) do we even have fast players.......

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

Docherty fumbling in the last quarter has become the norm,
his spot in the side has to come under scrutiny this week.

 

[Bladderz]

 

[BlueBayou]

Im starting to think DT should announce he will be offering his resignation to the board. Put it on them to make the call now.

 

[La Dispute]

you still have to try and get rid of the ******* ball it was super dumb of him!

If it was a mid who’d grabbed the ball they’d blow the whistle straight away, instead they employed the classic incriminating wait.

Should not have been a free kick.

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Cause he was tackled by 4 GWS players, had no chance of disposal?? Exceedingly poor decision, but not unexpected, there were quite a few of them.
He was not the worst.

he still should have had the smarts to try and pretend to punch the ****ing ball. Me as a usesless ****er and shitest football player knows this rules you have to attempt to get rid off it.,

 

[No1Suspect]

Thank god for the Phoenix Suns or else I’d probably be giving Dr Kervorkian a call this week

Riding them home! i tell ya supporting carlton arsenal and the pacers has just about cooked me

 

[Poorman53]

The nuffie calling out Stockers disposal in the game day thread

Get the bull in the guts.

 

[Skull Face]

Not sure if I agree with the Kennedy Dow take. Teague is under serious pressure

The only comparison between the two was they should play the rest of the year, Kennedy is more rounded then any of our other mids.

Big body but faster then Cripps, Curnow, setters. Walsh is the only other one in the running but Walsh's slight build allows him to be pushed off which isn't a weakness Kennedy shares. If he plays to that level each week he is our best all-rounder for sure.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Is there a more pointless player in our 22 than Jack Martin?

Mate, he’s clearly injured. Grimaces harder than Juddy every time he gets tackled.

Play Honey in the ones and let him rest up.

 

[rampar]

I want to see an angry, edgy coach. Geezes no wonder these guys come out sleeping.

 

[bigblueboy]

Call me old fashioned and all but surely when your defensive structures are continually exposed, the simplest thing would go back to playing 1-on-1?

 

[BlueBayou]

he still should have had the smarts to try and pretend to punch the ******* ball. Me as a usesless f***er and shitest football player knows this rules you have to attempt to get rid off it.,

We will have to disagree. He had no possibility of disposal. It is a ball up decision 90% of the time, the other 10% are umpiring errors.

 

[BrianSetzer]

Maybe he wants to be traded, 9 games to go and still hasn't committed

They'll announce it this week, to try to make us feel all warm and fuzzy. The club's dying.

 

[RedFury]

The lack of intensity is what hurts.
No urgency.
No pressure.
No chance.

We have a game plan and attitude that feels like it's been moulded for VFL not AFL.

 

[BlueZombie]

This , he is an average player

He may be many things but he is definitely not an average player. He has been shit the last 2 weeks but he is still a terrific, classy player and I for one am effing glad he plays for us.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Put Cripps in for whatever surgery he needs to be 100% for preseason.

Play TDK, Walsh, Kennedy and Stocker as our primary on ball group.

Get Honey into the side next week.

Get Carroll and Kemp in within the next three.

Unleash the Charlie as soon as we're confident he can run out a game. Can get his touch back in the seniors.

Change the gameplan - pressure like madmen when we don't have the ball, then slow it down and retain possession when we do. Make it easier for the defenders to defend, and back our forwards in to be able to hit the scoreboard.

Newman, Jones, Plowman
Saad, Weitering, Williams
Kemp, Kennedy, Docherty
TDK, Walsh, Stocker
Martin, Pittonet*, Fisher
Betts, McKay, Owies
I/C: Dow, Silvagni, Honey, Carroll

*til Charlie is right.

Focus on getting as many clean ball users in, plus a few down-and-dirty types to feed it to them. Play the game accordingly.

 

[Matty411]

Breaks my heart to say, but OUT: Doc, Martin, Parks - IN: Plow, Honey, Boyd

Might have a caretaker coach before long at this point, too. I'd be worried if I were Teaguey this week.

Few solid performers tonight.

- Kennedy our best
- Dow good in the middle for a bit
- Owies presnted and finished well
- Harry was a little lucky but could have finished with a bag (midfield entries/transition to blame mostly)
- Walshy had zero help to break the MDB tag, only released when we were toast
- Cripps and Docherty were deplorable as captains. Setting poor examples.
- Jack needs to go back to the twos with a few other senior players
- Time to play some kids. Ramsay, Honey. We've seen how Owies has gone, give them a crack
- Jones was pretty good for most of it
- Play Stocker in the starting mid rotation YESTERDAY. Showed real class and intent. He is NOT a small defender.
- Bring in Honey or Ramsay, Plow if remotely fit and new kid Boyd if he's as good down back as they say

 

[BlueBayou]

Call me old fashioned and all but surely when your defensive structures are continually exposed, the simplest thing would go back to playing 1-on-1?

That would assume the coach thinks our players would beat their man one on one....

 

[andrewroberts91]

Anyone know what’s up with Paddy Cripps? Carrying an injury?

 

[Poorman53]

Both should be spelled.
Honey for 1. Fisher rarely shows up. Fogarty is also hit & miss since the start of the year.

I really rate Fish but he hasn't been healthy for two years. Season is gone. Best to give players in his situation more time to not just run but run with power.

 

[SBYM]

The Old Dark Navy's

Great gif work. Top notch.

 

[BlueZombie]

Kennedy easily our best. Cracked in all night. Bet he goes out for Murph next week.
Stocker belongs.
Dow did some nice things.
The rest

Could not agree with you more. And yet I've just read multiple posts saying he was shit tonight FFS.
