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

[damicky]

It seems like St Kilda only played one good quarter (looking at the scores)

 

[Noidnadroj]

I don’t care what else happens … but if Macca and Pickett both play next week I’m taking a weeks hiatus. They had 1 touch the entire last quarter when gut runners come into their own. They had 26 touches for 10 clangers. F**k them both off … for the love of god !!!!

JGTI was a poor selection

And will be picked for the rest of the year.

Honestly. Maurice was just absolutely awesome. His two tackles arguably kicked us back into gear for short stints.

Shai is also the best player on our list by a mile.

And Tom Brown should never play 2's again. Short on the the hand

Credit to yze in this case. Had the foresight to play him as a high half forward, where he looks at the level.

breaking away from his opponent in the 2nd quarter. Has Zach Jones covered for speed.

 

[Grechy]

Not sure I can take too many more honourable losses. Would rather persist with Lefau than Koshitzke.

Lefau still can't bring the ball to ground either. Kozi is getting a lot of stick but he's not a primary forward. Still want to see how he goes with Lynch in the team.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

We played like a team that doesnt have any tall forwards and relied on our one dangerous small forward in bolton to pull handfuls of magic out of his arse.

 

[Tiger51]

Very happy with our performance today, showed we will not lie down and will compete whatever the injury’s. Hoping this loss pays dividends after the season and looking forward to more debutants as the season progresses.

Part of the double edged sword of playing the kids
They have some big moments but sometimes aren’t quite ready to rise to the occasion

Sonsie had a terrible 5 mins patch that could of changed the entire outcome
Wouldn’t drop him over it but he needs to be better

 

[DustinsGuns]

Pickett was jogging way too much at times imo.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Sonsie Jesus flipping Christ. Pulling my hair out and I’m a neutral.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

K Mac clearly AFL standard. Kane McAuliff that is

Yeah Nah........Jack Graham is a better option for us this week.

Cheers

Saints always play their grand final against us lol.

Shoulda played that way last week and they would have beaten the Bombers by 10 goals.

 

[Lsta062]

Considering our injury list, I thought we did OK today. St Kilda's a decent side with a strong defence, so losing by only 7 points after the injuries we had is a positive thing. There is a point where injuries just become too much to overcome. We're at that point.

, and Nankervis did well. Bolton, Martin, and our entire defence were outstanding. MRJ had his moments.

On the lowlights, I was very disappointed with Sonsie and Kosi today tbh. Absolutely no surprise that Kosi played like this though. We should've played Naismith or even Ryan ahead of him because this is what he was showing in the VFL.

Graham added nothing to our side today. He probably should've worked his way into our side through the VFL.

McIntosh and Pickett were average. Pickett was better than McIntosh though.

Hopefully McAuliffe is alright He was just warming up into the game before that happened.

 

[Tiges1229]

That’s what happens when you Jekkyl and Hyde in footy

 

[Wallaby]

Tom Brown to be our 'Designated Kicker' from now on - you had a good run Shorty, but you're nowhere near it right now.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Positives:
Tom Brown
Vintage Dusty
Bolton

Negatives:
Selection

 

[cairo tiger]

poor selection- kosi ryan should have been there. graham- maculfie should have been there.

 

[tigersab]

Macauliife did a Bauer getting injured first game fuggin bloody shame. Would drop Kozi for next game and get Naismith to play up forward until Balta or Lynch can get back. Bloody disappointed throwing that away!

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Not sure I can take too many more honourable losses. Would rather persist with Lefau than Koshitzke.

Lefau struggles to read the flight of the ball. I don't think he will make it.

 

[Grockadoc]

Absolutely DUMB football. We surely must be the dumbest football team in the league.

We kept the ball in motion to stretch the saints and not allow their backline to get set, switched to open the ground up and went quickly forward to great effect.

After quarter time, we were slow, didn't switch and went long down the line...

Tell me when the last time going long down the line to a contest serviced us? Didn't in Dimma's last 18 months with us...

To constantly do it, despite Nankervis dropping back, and not having your 2 main forwards (and best contested marks) missing, it was absolutely sheer lunacy to continue to do it. It is also lazy and the easy way to make it someone elses problem.

Everytime we did it and turned it over, our defensive structures were out of whack and Saints exploited this.

Just shit, dumb football.

We went short and slow against the Swans when they were surging and it worked. Why did we not try this again today?

 

[Sol23]

Pickett loves a brain fade. I’m over it

Yeah very disappointing!

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

We aren't winning any games without lynch, balta it's simple as that
Kosi can **** off hrs soft as butter

Short needs to be dropped he’s ****ing hopeless now
