What a relief that this fraud team finally get the full treatment, hopefully this will be the catalyst for a forensic list review in the offseason. They better be playing with line in the sand intensity next week if they don’t want to get completely humiliated, show some ****ing pride
AFL Autopsy RND 23: Buried and cremated by the Giants

This aspect is destroying us. We have fallen off the cliff in the back half of the year. Hogan took over double marks inside 50 than our whole team. Do we even train this aspect anymore? Well below our season averages too.
And the easybeats almost beat us.

What frustrates me more than anything is im unsure of the messaging from Scott. Our priority is to focus on development of our list to maximise our potential yet there has been a clear and gradual decline in the performance since the Adelaide game.
Losing to Port by a point - we are not far away from the best sides in the competition.
A month or so later getting over the line against WCE. We have a young list and we need to be ‘up’ for every game. No AFL game is easy.
After losing to GWS - we played poorly and we have a lot of work to do. We don’t deserve to be playing finals…
What are we as a club? Are we improving? Is it expected that a developing list falls away so quickly? Why is stringer and Tippa so unfit at this time of the year? Why did Mahoney leave and does that have something to do with the football operations? So confused.

We’ve had a key list management guy leave and someone else announce their retirement last week.
If I was a betting person decisions for next season are already being made and some of those decisions have caused most of the list to give up.
The most likely outcome seems to be the complete destruction of the roster/playing group. This team is playing like they won’t be here next season so why bother

Yeah, something is off there. The whole list seems glaringly unfit.
Players are jogging with zero intent. Nothing to do with training loads IMO, they have completely checked out and were never AFL fit.
This preseason better get some results. Screw the performance nerds, I want players spewing up after each session!
Standard performance from our club when the pressure is on for a win.

Can’t disagree with any of that. We desperately need talls that can mark in transition. Half the time we don’t even have anyone who can half a contest and bring the ball to ground. As much as people rip on Jones, he always provides that when he plays. In my opinion we haven’t played sustained good footy since Anzac Day, even the win streak mid season we weren’t playing well imo. We were terrible against Richmond, got hot late, played 1 good qtr against Carlton and blew them out/ Carlton should’ve been up by 5 goals at half time.

Is her name GWS?
Honestly the worst loss I've ever seen. Even the top-ups showed more fight than these bunch of spuds. What a disaster.
Any goodwill we earned in the first half of the year was completely erased in one afternoon.

The Blues game was certainly a mirage . They kept giving it back to us and it was not through our pressure.
The only good thing I've taken from this is Scott's comment post-game that the footy department needs fixing, and a concession that they got it wrong at the selection table.

We had like 2 afl standard players playing in the vfl. Blaming the selections is an easy out
No he said they got a whole lot of things wrong. That was just one of them.

Didn’t get to see much of this - I’m going to be honest that was mostly by choice because the game was over by the time I got a chance to take a look…
Pretty much what Scott said.
He has certainly stabilised the club off the field, is this the catalyst for real change on field?

It was a good choice.
He also said the list.
Honeymoon period is well and truly over. Thing I like about Scott is (from what players have said) is he is not "one of the boys", too matey with the players. Sets clear boundaries and makes hard calls much easier.

On a positive note I can get rid of Kayo for the rest of the year.
Yeah, but those stats have been added to GWS sheet as he gave them the ball.

I love how bad this was that we don't even have an MVP thread up the following morning
Merrett gets 3
Langford 2 for trying all day
And we all get a point each for supporting this club.
