Autopsy Rd 9 review vs Geelong

Remove this Banner Ad

One thing to bear in mind with Sutty is how far ahead of Duffield he is at the same stage of their careers.

At 21 Duff was only just debuting after two years on the rookie list, followed by a delisting and redrafting. At 21 Sutty has clocked up 32 games already and looks to have cemented himself in a far better team.
 
By the way I was at the game how were the commentators last night?

I normally can't stand listening to GeeLing whenever he gets a Cats game.. still have nightmares about his performance at the 2012 Elim.

Nope, for me, Lingy is easily the most intelligent boundary side commentator who also serves up some refreshing humour. Mooney on the other hand is funny for all the wrong reasons.

congrats to Freo. Your boys were switched on from the start of the game and never looked liked losing. Full of admiration for Pav, not often that Taylor gets toweled up.

Yep, it happens to the best of them though.

I thought your boys looked a little flat after bye.

If only Freo had kicked straight. 2 goals 8 in a quarter is almost as bad as a typical Eagles performance.

true, the end result flattered us. We have a poor record coming off the bye, but it's no excuse.

we always match up well on Hawthorn. I've got that awful feeling I know the team that matches up well on us ...........
 
Was at the game and you could see late in the third and the fourth we were running out of legs. As has been discussed it's not our fitness that's been the issue; last years finals campaign well and truly took its toll on us; coupled with a bunch of six day breaks and fierce competition in the first half of the season and we well and truly deserve this buy. The only difference is this time our resilience held firm to get us over the line.

I don't believe guys like Spurr and Duffield are out of form; they're just completely and utterly exhausted. Spurr might be in his late-20's but he's only in his 3rd AFL season and he's not a seasoned campaigner yet. Mundy and Fyfe have been as devastating as usual because well... they're Mundy and Fyfe. I think with this break and a good body-management plan for the next 8 weeks or so we could really get everybody back to fully fit and firing again.
 
Yeah it's been a tough draw, we've played 9 of the top 10 teams and none of the bottom 7. No 10 goal romps to enjoy after a tough match the week before and you gotta think we'll enjoy the bye and be better for it.
 
You think? When has he played better?

I took this:
Matt DeBoer played a very good game as sub last night. He was better in a quarter last night then he had in any full game all season.
to mean that he did more in a quarter than he had in any full game all season.

His contribution per minute might have been better on Saturday than in any other full game, but his overall contribution in games against the Pies and even the Slime were better overall.

Was good to see him matched up against Selwood at a lot of clearances in the last. Did a pretty good job on him too from what I saw.

Ross on 6pr:
-Great week internally to lead up to the game
-Ross saw SJ more damaging than Selwood and gave him the tag after learning from the final last year
-Pearce and Suban filled the role of Walters at HF
-Clancee may only miss a few weeks like Ibbo's shoulder
-Sylvia contributed well and described him as 'explosive'
-Ross thinks Port, Hawks and Syd are 3 genuine flag favourites.
-Game review tomorrow and train for players. Plan to keep the players fresh for after the bye.
 
Rossy on 6PR:
  • Went with strong focus and delivered after a positive week, embracing the occasion but training well.
  • Reason why the players in our leadership group are chosen is for their character and for their focus in pressure situations.
  • At our best we are able to deliver on the effort and dominance.
  • We restructured on weekend - Pearce and Suban played center half forward for us for speed and skill, with deBoer to the side.
  • Sylvia played well on weekend, very explosive - can contribute for us soon.
  • This year is incredibly even, it will be challenging for everyone.
  • Port, Hawthorn, and Sydney are premiership favourites at the moment.
  • Still to do a review, light training tomorrow. Plan training for the break to come back strong.
  • Ross will be working through the break to improve the game plan.
  • Players will be free to go interstate.

Edit: You were too quick for me!
 
Seppo, I will be in Melbourne for the Bullies game - would love to sit at the Freo end and pitch in with the cheering (I was a booster leader in high school - big lungs, big voice ;)). What sort of ticket do I need to get?
Being a Bulldogs game, just a GA ticket and walk around to our end. Should be at the Coventry end (Burke St)

Someone tell Zarke to listen to his music on the iPad
