Autopsy Roast & Toast v Carlton & Changes for Fremantle

[Black Saab]

The awakening of Lord Townsend.

Good times.

 

[Growapair]

Was Campbell playing I seriously didn’t know he was
Coulthard should be playing instead

Coulthard had about 25d, 4cp, and 4 tackles and a goal in the VFL ... about time he got a full game at AFL

 

[tropicaltiger]

No, I mean would you go for that in their position.

Obviously we would.

probably not then. Harley could be the next Dustin Martin and in 10 years we will probably be saying Liam who, Shai who, Jack who and jayden who.

 

[Blinger]

hawks with a trash list are 1.5 games off of 3rd spot

I know we had injuries but whats wrong with our mob

That's called work rate , which we don't have at the moment. With our lack of fitness, when we cant finish out games Also our skills are below par & as for our tackling no words can describe that.

 

[Growapair]

The cupboard is pretty bare in the VFL so there aren’t many we can bring in.
In: Prestia, Green
Out: Martin (they were resting him this game or next anyway), Graham

Did you watch the VFL game? Gray and Coulthard were really good ... Green's goals were created by the work of others including Dow and Cumberland but great to see him straighten up and kick them himself.

Campbell, Short, Graham probably our worst ... all 3.should be in the VFL this week

Am starting to agree with many that Bolton, Baker and Short would look better as 2024 first round draft picks

Don't agree that Blight's fantastic debut means Balta should be a forward ... I think it means we should be okay with trading Vlastuin

 

[Dunger]

How many goals did fantasia kick for the scum ?

Throws by blooze divided by 10 is the amount of goals he kicked

 

[Gak Attack]

First game I've got to live for a while. Some good signs but also boy are some of the old guard just lazy and useless now.

Was really obvious overall how poor our skills and decision making are for the level. Sure we got beat at the contest a bit but you expect that given the respective positions of clubs but watching our older guys kick to 2 on 1's against and go inside to a 50/50 when we have guys clean open on the outside is below VFL level.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Horrible was entire team except:
Miller
Blight

So Balta was horrible?

 

[johnno77]

A lot to like about today despite the result.
Probably the best game I've seen from Sonsie. Cracked in under pressure and despite making a few blues early, a big step forward for me. Koschitzche had a game I would be happy to hang my hat on. Still double grabs marks but cracked in hard and kicked nicely. Blight is no doubt AFL standard, excellent pick up. We were clearly outclassed but the boys had a genuine crack.

Also, I know that Balta is clearly a natural gun defender, but......what if he became a gun forward? I know the easy option is to leave him back but.........

 

[Mr E Tiger]

I’m sorry but Balta is a defender and a damn good one. You don’t make a side great by robbing defence to bolster attack. What we need is new attacking blood and leaving our defence strong. We might not win games with our remaining firepower, but we will lose by less by having a strong defence and that is half the battle. We need to draft attackers and bite the bullet on Lynch - great player but 4 games in each of the last 2 seasons is not what we need from our key forward, and certainly not for the salary he is getting. I can see a lot of departures at season’s end as some of our champions retire and the deadwood is culled.

 

[LTT]

Horrible was entire team except:
Miller
Blight

How good was Miller. Hard to believe he has only played 30 odd games. He looks so composed now. Still think he will eventually move forward and be a very good kpf

 

[LTT]

Yep i agree with Bakes and Bolton. With some compensation, i wouldnt be too aad to see them go. And Rioli is the one. I don’t want to see him go. He is so important.

I think Bolton is carrying an injury. Seemed to limp occasionally and didn’t fly for marks. Will be interesting to see at seasons end.

Imagine fluking a year of KPP like Carlton did in the 2015 afl draft
1. Weitering
10. McKay

Bulldogs had pick 12 traded it to Carlton for pick 19 and 20 I think

 

[aislegi]

Oh, okay, I’ve seen Francis play a few times and would never have guessed he was a high draft pick

 

[PetterdHoisted]

We are not fit as a club , all players have no stamina , ** Meehan, ** the camel

is that stupid camel still there even??

if so, omfg.

 

[Wallaby]

Totally disagree , thought he was more an A380

Thats - a jet.

 

[tigers12]

The thing that shits me cumbo makes a few mistakes and he gets dropped and that’s fair enough
While Graham and short make way more numerous mistakes every game and they are untouchable yze is not sending a good message to the senior players thats why they are coasting and have checked out they know they will be in the team next week

 

[SDMTiger4]

I blame David Rodan for signalling all those goals

Absolutely. Has done a Richo, and gone way too far the other way to hide his bias towards us. Didn't even call for reviews. Blatant cheating.

 

[SDMTiger4]

A 10-goal loss to Carlton. Yet when they were collecting and we were winning flags, the biggest we won by was 43 points.

I will never accept a coach saying “we don’t win by 10 goals” ever again. The next time we’re good, I want us to crush teams without hesitation like they crush us. It’s so unbelievably frustrating.

Agree. I know I can hark back to 1980, but you could tell that year that we were going to smash the Pies in the GF (and by a record margin). We were sailing through that season and winning by record margins against our oppo's nearly every week. Then you will have someone say that the Pies were just getting over the line last year, yet win the granny. I'm in the Eat 'em Alive camp.

 

[SDMTiger4]

Thought Blight had a great game, just needs time to build his tank. Great size and reads the play well. Miller had a very good game on Curnow? Curnow was owned by him.

Baker, Bolton, Short, Graham - all fell way short when pressure was applied and didn’t lift when needed.

I wanted to keep Baker and Bolton - until today. Bolton especially has so much talent but goes missing too often and makes poor decisions.

Good games from Taranto and Hopper, Rioli and Vlaustin and for a half, McIntosh. Good experience for the kids but some of them are looking a bit tired.

It's a sad indictment on the senior players like Bolton, Short & Graham when a MSD pick comes in for his debut game and shows them up. They should be embarrassed. But guess what, the MC will still select them next week, so it's an indictment on the MC as well.

 

[SDMTiger4]

The real disappointing thing about Dusty is he can no longer shrug off an opponent.
Now he looks like he couldn't even have the strength to do a push up.

Hasn't for a couple of seasons.
