Autopsy Roast, Toast & Changes for Round 5 Vs. West Coast

[Chunky09]

He came back on so hopefully it’s minor

Man I hope so, Meehan will send him to Siberia for season ending polio surgery

 

[GoTigers2015]

Inside info I have is that the club was even worried in the first year.
Not now. They love him.

Yes, that is why the Swans would have got him with the next pick if we had not drafted him.

 

[South Tiger]

Realistically who here believed we would have played finals this year? Develop the kids and will make this year entertaining to watch the future.

I expected finals.

 

[Thrasher97]

I know we lost, buy how shit are Saints?
Surely their supporters wouldn't be happy with that performance? Ross isn't taking them anywhere with the uber flood.

How good is Brown? McAuliffe looks the goods with what we saw, hope he's OK.

 

[59Stanley]

That ground is not appropriate to play afl on

 

[prodigy]

With 14 out, you can’t remove all your experience out of the team.

I get that but unfortunately the experienced blokes I mentioned let us down today.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Hopefully just rolled it and needed to be re strapped

It’s probably the size of a watermelon right now to match Dows but if that’s the case will be fine to play next week

Wouldn’t mind seeing him starting on field but with Baker back as well not sure who comes out for him as well as Baker needing a spot

 

[beema limapep]

Pickett Kozi out please.

 

[GoTigers2015]

 

[Rubber Hips]

And will be picked for the rest of the year.

Yes…
Graham in for all of 2024

Grimes…in for all of 2024

KMac in for 2024

Just go the kids ffs

People need to slow down, stop and think (and breath). We can’t drop every senior player. We need some experienced blokes around the kids. And in return, they will be better. For those calling for Pickett and K Mac to be dropped while we got 14 out, i ask them, how did it wirk out for Melbourne when they delisted and traded out all the experience and went with kids? They were hopeless and it stifled the kids development. The kids look good, but they need some big bodies around them.

So in the case of today, what would you do to stop Dow stepping on a footy in play rolling his ankle and McAuliffe rolling his in a contested passage of play. How would you address that and fix the issue?

Can't prevent accidents in contact sports. Can't stop that at all....

But you can make a more conservative approach to managing them once they do get injured. Did you see Dow clearly hindered after he went back on for a couple disposals and return to the bench soon after? Then he went back on again and then finally subbed. I'm no doctor, but with a mounting injury list as long as ours, and a fresh player ready to go just before the last break, the risk of making the injury WORSE is the right call ?

 

[Rubber Hips]

I thought miller was great down back..is a lock down there


Young was also good…king is a good player…did well

 

[captain blood 17]

It was terrible.

 

[Grockadoc]

Thought Broad was very good

Broad's kicking was woeful.

 

[Lsta062]

Positive , everything is going to script for bottom 4 pick

And this is probably the ideal form to be in if you’re going to finish bottom 4. Competitive at various stages every game with the occasional comfortable loss by around 30-50 points

 

[captain blood 17]

I get that but unfortunately the experienced blokes I mentioned let us down today.

So the solution is to replace with smaller bodied, less experienced players? It would actually make our performances and reaults worse.

What if Dow told the medical team he was good to go and the assessment backed the player call?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

No complaints there from me at all.
Love the way we are playing and obviously it’s very difficult to sustain with young players (…feel like I’ve seen this script before ).
Great signs and a lot of hope.

We don't know that though. This has to be a year of experimentation at some point and every game we give to Pickett and McIntosh is one less we get into the players who will be here when we are loading up again for another crack at it.
Maybe both don't go out at once but I want to see how we do without relying on at least one for a couple of weeks.

 

[UncleBob]

Never seen a more cursed side for injuries.

Kosi might be the worst player I've seen put a Richmond jumper on since 2016.

Never forget Todd Elton in 2017.

 

[GoTigers2015]

What if Dow told the medical team he was good to go and the assessment backed the player call?

I agree mostly but Kane Mac is already a big body should have started.

 

[jetbhag]

Hopefully kmac2 is OK, we can't have the following 3 players playing based on current form. Short, pickett, McIntosh need to drop at least 2 of them.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

It was terrible.

I’ve played there footy and cricket.
Toy ground.

 

[Neen]

What if Dow told the medical team he was good to go and the assessment backed the player call?

Then he goes back on and risks further injuring his ankle and instead of rest and icing the injury. Which is what appears to have happened. He was not subbed after injuring his ankle, with a fresh player ready to go on.
