AFL Autopsy RND 19: Loss to the Pies

[Duckworth]

There are some terrible comments on here, blaming players etc. Mostly from posters who only turn up after a loss.

Blame the first quarter. Not something one player did in the last.

 

[brutus76]

Woeful start.
Woeful end
2 quarters of brilliance
Not good enough in today's footy

 

[boncer34]

well pies won't do s**t come finals, barely getting over the line against a bottom 4 team.

Hey!
We're bottom 5.

To be fair 2 quarters of footy was enough for Collingwood.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Are you serious? Lmao probably the most ridiculous Rutten criticism I’ve heard on here. Players lost a bit of composure in the end there. Nothing Rutten could do about that. Jones kicks that and the win is sealed.

Set up the bloody ground for a possible miss from Jones!

FLOOD THE BACK

There is no 6 6 6 there.

This should have been taught to the players. AMATUER STUFF. Buck stops with the head.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Wasn't Harry's fault.

We had plenty of time and should have had the ground set up to defend in case he missed it.

Instead we left a Collingwood player free at half back and on the wing and let them waltz down the ground with 40 seconds left.

Yeah shoulda kicked it though and the games over. That right there is how important goal kicking is.

Would liked to have seen Stringer kick that very simple goal in the last qtr to put Essendon 26pts up rather than dump it out on the full. Game over right there. Such a simple shot.

As you can see I was barracking for Essendon. Sick of Collingwood's arsey wins.

 

[Bombermania]

The only job the EFC should be offering Hepp next year is an assistant coaching job.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Can't blame Jones for the lack of defensive set up.

Jones had 2 big opportunities before that in which he just looked out on his feet. Can blame him for those

 

[TheUnicorn]

Ham is the sub because he isn’t an AFL footballer. Rutten probably realises our season is over and would rather get games into our future whilst Ham sits on the bench.

 

[AsIfYouCare]

Could have sworn the umpire called play on near the end of Elliot's run-in.

 

[windyhill]

Like 1990, ****ed it for the whole country. **** me.

That was a poor miss for an experienced forward.

Caught out of position like it was a turn over yet had almost 1min to setup

So the regulars then

 

[yodellinhank]

And Heppell kicking to snelling in a 2 on 1. With one of the 2 being Moore

Just retire already

He can have a laugh about it at training and bounce back bigger and better.

 

[eth-dog]

Are people seriously not understanding why we'd rather have Ham as sub than Mass?

If Redman didn't come off and Mass was the sub the same people would be whinging about the fact he isn't playing football, but actually be right about it.

In all seriousness, we lost it in the first quarter with a number of weak efforts. Not Jones, not Ham, not Langford in the last minute

The only job the EFC should be offering Hepp next year is an assistant coaching job.

Truck greenlighting a playing contract to Hepp would be the ultimate piss take.

 

[Zach Package]

Not exactly shocked that the team that is playing 2 minute drill footy weekly for the last 3 months played it better that we did.

Would have been nice to win but the more games at finals intensity we get into us the better

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

Merret and Shiel dominated, Draper learnt how to mark, Wright still on the hunt for the Coleman and Ginnivan denied his only trick, the loss hurt but season was over anyway

 

[Vincent Hanna]

Allowing them to go coast to coast from the last point in an indictment on our on and off field leaders.

1m? It was a holding the ball and Jones took an eternity to get back up. Plenty of time for them to go back. That's BASIC FOOTBALL.

 

[tandino]

Poor enough to lose it early, good enough to get back on top, stupid enough to throw it away late.

It's like a whole year in one afternoon.

We can but the side should have known Collingwood would go for it from that last kick in.

You’re melting and wanting the coach sacked because we lost a dead rubber to a side sitting 4th by 4 points in a game we dominated for large parts of the game?

Stringer’s decision making and goal kicking was poor in the last quarter. Plenty of opportunities wasted. Collingwood took their opportunities. They’ve done it 8 out of 9 times in games decided by less than 12 points. Not melt worthy.

Besides, this game means nothing for our season anyway.
