AFL Autopsy RND 22: Loss

[Don_Gia]

Just fold the club, they are never ever going to get it.

Well finally the season is over for the boys and now can finally get ready for the summer. That’s all they want.

They will play the kids in next two weeks for the sole reason the others can catch the last couple weeks of peak European summer…

 

[Petrify]

Wont be watching next week if Laverde is picked.

Imagine the message you send to the players by selecting someone who week in, week out gets absolutely ****ing destroyed by his opponent. Pathetic club.

 

[Foxx]

Dursma out was huge.

Cox can be nowhere near the backline from now on, has zero idea.

We've established his best position is tall forward.
A Cox/Caddy duo going forward.
(No pun intended)

 

[EnolaGay]

How the **** does Draper lose that 1on1 so badly

It was a repeat of the Crows game where Draper got outmarked by O'Brien on the wing for them to get the last goal. Today (and then), he just needed to bring it to ground, instead got out-marked by Collins twice. Add the two set shot misses and it was a disastrous last quarter for him. Not sure if he'll learn from it.

I don't think we've established Cox has a position.

 

[justlookingaround]

We don’t deserve and aren’t ready for finals.
Luckily I’m ECO or that would’ve been a kick in the nuts.

 

[BLA60]

hahahahaha

never in doubt

 

[doug85]

Forget the Andrew goal, the real story should be the wage Jade Gresham is stealing.. apparently north of $600,000 and he delivered SFA


worth it. Another Adrian Dodoro master stroke

600k is about an average wage now and he cost us nothing by way of draft picks.

It’s a non-issue compared to the 6-8 positions we need to upgrade before we’re any good.

But he tries really really hard and waves his arms around a lot!

 

[Jobe Watson]

(No pun intended)

We haven't established anything. He looks like a spud no matter where he plays. Dogshit footballer.

 

[TheBrightSide]

I canceled Kayo last week.
Best $35 I’ve never spent.

 

[BomberTime]

And now the pressure is off they can come out and beat Sydney next week.

Fragile club.

[scythe]

Didn't watch the game. Deciding Ross Noble was a lot more deserving of my time turned out to be a wise move.

You know those idiots who infect the "club's" Facebook with their constant "anD i SUpPOsE You cOuLd dO betTeR" nonsense in response to the slightest criticism? In this case, the answer is very much yes. I've never played the game at any level, but I guarantee you if you give me 10 shots at goal I'm kicking better than 1.9.

Hope there were some screamers ready at the race again.

 

[justlookingaround]

Happy for Mac Andrews

 

[BomberManU]

All I can say is that hopefully (1) this is a catalyst for change and (2) we now have people who can make hard calls and good decisions.

How many catalysts for change can 1 club have?

 

[ydc55]

Come on guys.
Our list has major flaws.
We have found some players this year.
Caldwell, Durham, caddy, Bryan, duursma and Roberts all look like they will be better than solid players for us over the next 6 years.
The following players are not good enough and never will be-
Cox, laverde, Davey, menzies
The following players are overrated and I have doubts-
Langford, McGrath, Hobbs, Kelly, parish, shiel, Gresham

needed to kick one of his goals.
Sam Draper needs to relinquish his white trash roots and obtain some humility.
You cannot blow kisses and shoot guns and then miss easy shots against Adelaide and tonight which cost us games.
Harrison jones is not a winger.
Zac merrett is a good player he missed an easier shot than Errol gulden kicked a goal with last night.
He is not a champion but he is the best leader we have.

I think there is pressure on Brad Scott.
He has made some tough calls on Heppell, wright and Goldstein.
He now needs to make some tough calls on laverde, Kelly and Menzies.

I was at the 2017 draft combine sitting with a list manager when the Richmond recruiting team walked in.
He said to me this time last year those blokes were lower than shark shit.
A few champions, a team full of competitors,momentum and a lot of luck.
It is what you need.
We currently do not have any champions.
I would mortgage the future to get Harley Reid.
It would mean giving up Nick Martin, two first round draft picks and possibly more but we need to flip the script.

I do still maintain a large part of it all is that there's no one at the club who has had success in the modern game or has any experience in what it takes to get there, both from a pre-season and preparation point of view and from during a game

Looked like they got clapped off actually lol

 

[TheWeapon]

Was pretty predictable and more a relief that reality hits the team harder this way. Farewell games for Heppell and Laverde next week. Team lacks skill and heart, need at least one of them to compete at this level

 

[andleanback]

Crows game all over again.

Throw the farm at Houston.

For what

Genuinely we should spend our entire soft cap on getting Pendlebury as asst coach

 

[Yoda_]

600k is about an average wage now and he cost us nothing by way of draft picks.

We had Will Snelling who was delivering similar stats and could have used that salary cap on an actual position we needed

It’s a non-issue compared to the 6-8 positions we need to upgrade before we’re any good.

unfortunately we have flaked it by having the NGA rules changed otherwise would have been 2 picks inside 40 to shake up those 6 - 8 spots.. Kako access is huge and a free hit but still need lots of change

 

[TheFrenchCut]

In fairness that was incredibly funny

 

[MightyDon]

.Farewell games for Heppell and Laverde next week.

In the VFL?
