AFL Autopsy RND 20: Loss to the Swans

[horj89]

Not just us but why do teams start playing when down by 5 goals.

Play the kids from here on in.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

At least in the movie Groundhog Day was just about a rodent and the weather.This is worse, much worse. And I took Swans at the line- 8 1/2 points

 

[raskolnikov]

That deliberate call against Phillips was an absolute disgrace.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Heppell was absolutely immense. Terrific final quarter in particular.

 

[oldandslow]

Love losing to the swans by under a goal… year after year

 

[Duckworth]

What draft pick do we have now?

We're aiming for top 5.

 

[Don_Gia]

Adelaide smacking Port just for good measure also

 

[Mootsy]

Oh gosh we are 13th

 

[MightyDon]

That deliberate call against Phillips was an absolute disgrace.

Tapped it to the advantage of three team mates, umpire was calling deliberate before it had crossed the line

 

[andleanback]

All round shit performance
Defenders can’t defend
Midfielders can’t kick or tackle
And our forward can’t mark

 

[MiguelM]

Probably not the best game to bring in Davey in hindsight.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

If Snelling started over Davey I reckon we win that.

Wright wasn't even competitive in the air. We need to find more forwads.

Gulden is where Perkins should be at.

Kelly, Hind, zero are just fillers.

Bryan is coming on. Let's see what he can do in tandem with Draper next year. If he can clunk a few it might solve some big problems.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Literally one papley slim bounce away from playing finals.

Would have been a club defining win that one.

Nevertheless, I feel like I can take a gallant defeat with no heads down and reset for next year than to underservedly make the finals when not ready and to be thumped again.

Even though the Pies in Round 24 are gettable... unlikely.

Bring on 2024.

 

[carloss]

Always tough when you let the opposition kick 7 goals in a row

 

[biglaycock]

Heppell was absolutely immense. Terrific final quarter in particular.

Agreed, he was actually excellent all night. Every time I think he is done he pulls out a game like this.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Not just us but why do teams start playing when down by 5 goals.

Play the kids from here on in.

What is amazing is they usually do so by ignoring coaching instructions about structured controlled movement and playing instinctive quick ball movement footy. And then the next week forgetting how that worked and going back to business as usual.

 

[Happyskeret]

When you have 69 to 47 inside 50s you only have yourself to blame.

It’s not my fault.

 

[the PILL]

I want to say we are such a Jekyll and Hyde team but that doesn't quite fit.

We can look like a million bucks sometimes or just so far off it, all in the space of a few minutes and it goes in cycles. It's such a roller coaster watch.

Enjoyed the last quarter. Phillips was big...

 

[MightyDon]

Poms 1/130 at lunch, quality night

 

[Learntopray]

That deliberate call against Phillips was an absolute disgrace.

Compare that to Chad Warner's obvious intent to keep the ball in play whilst rugby scrumming and divinf over the line in our f50.

 

[MiguelM]

If Snelling started over Davey I reckon we win that.

Wright wasn't even competitive in the air. We need to find more forwads.

Gulden is where Perkins should be at.

Kelly, Hind, zero are just fillers.

Bryan is coming on. Let's see what he can do in tandem with Draper next year. If he can clunk a few it might solve some big problems.

Thought Hind was ok.

Agree on Kelly, slow in mind and body.

 

[Nifft]

Oh well….. time now to play some Remnant 2 I guess.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Defence got absolutely slaughtered. Players up the ground didn't work hard enough to get back on transition. Forward line once again pretty ineffectual - thank God for Langford.

Bryan was really good, can see why we rate him so highly. Caldwell and Hobbs were great for the first 3 quarters but faded late.

 

[VexOh]

Spend the next 3-4 drafts recruiting quality kicks. That is all please. Nothing else. None of these athletes with no defined position.

Just give me 3-5 GOOD kicks.

 

[Petrify]

Scott is squeezing all he can out of this list. Clearly we desperately need a better KPD AND a better forward. Just not nearly enough talented talls.
