AFL Autopsy RND 12: Loss To The Suns

[Howard Moon]

Htb is so broken, if it was a house you'd demolish and build 3 units on it

 

[Mootsy]

Stringer, Langford, Gresham, Wright all goalless.

Not good enough from our best forwards

Midfield really poor again. You'd think there'd be some plan to get the ball down, to find forwards on a lead. etc....
Surely they train for that. It's not all just random simulation, etc.

Great game and lots of positives in a sea of Essendon Supporter blame that is about to come.

• Lesser players stood up
• Our goal kicking let us down - not our inside 50's
• We've now had a sampling of players in positions and can start looking at more changes for AFL listed players
• We can improve with better output from 2MP, Stringer, Perkins etc. all down atm
• Another run of goals against, that we fought back from

That's some uptake in a side that didn't play finals last year.

 

[DapperDon]

Super stoked Reid got injured playing in a game he shouldn't have been playing.

 

[naraku]

Awful match, but kind of predictable that we'd lose to GC.

Yes, the officiating was unbelievably shit, but if kick those goals we should, we probably beat the AFLs McDonald's team by 5-6 goals imo.

 

[Megabattimus]

Bad kicking is bad footy. Could've won if we converted even a third of our behinds.

Oh well, on to Carlton next week.

Didn't see the game but 11.14 and we're blaming umpires?

In some passages of play some frees missed

They were actually shit. Two were for deliberate out of bounds that were really questionable, ball rolling parallel to the boundary.

 

[andleanback]

Rowell and Anderson with 16 clearances between them.

That’s probably unders from what they’ve been doing this year tbh

 

[mike14]

They were poor (from what I saw). Poor both ways, but very poor.
We absolutely lost this on our own though

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Our entries into f50 were awful. At this point, if it's not Caldwell going it in I feel like it's going to defenders advantage.

Not surprised our mids got blasted again considering we have been comprehensively beaten against Richmond and North who are garbage right now. Next week will be a 10+ goal drubbing if we show up how we've showed up the last 3 weeks.

To be fair, I thought the quantity of I50s was there but the quality of those were pretty ordinary. Not a lot of kicks favoured somebody.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Parish aint there

Hopefully this wakes up the haters

Parish haters have always been completely clueless. Our midfield has been embarrassed the last 3 weeks. Can't win a ground ball to save ourselves. Caldwell and Perkins cannot currently replicate what he brings and maybe never will.

 

[jmoo wan]

i’ll probably have a wine or two tonight and chill out. I definitely won’t get my knickers in a twist over that game. I might check in tomorrow and see how everyone is coping in here

 

[brutus76]

For 3 quarters could not kick for absolute poo

And THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE

Or even to get the ball to a forward in space 1 on 1.

All of our entries are to a contest.

GC kick it twice and their forwards are running towards the ball in space

 

[Old Campaigner]

Didn't watch the game but just eyeballing some stats our kicking inside 50 seems to been the biggest issue, along with our kicking for goal.

Looks like we worked hard enough but really lack a lot of composure in attack.

Similar story to the last few weeks really

 

[JT_the_Man]

Please don't complain about the umps, we got three gifts that got us close.

Yeah this, it was both ways.

 

[cobra land]

I used to work with Brent. Good bloke.

Probably but a shit umpire

 

[sameolds33]

Bombing it into our F50, when has that ever worked?

 

[DapperDon]

i'm gonna go to the pub for a fight

Definitely a lot of fine-tuning needs doing going into next half of the season.

Disagree re: i50s. A lot of them were poor.

I don't think it ever has.
