Autopsy Roast & Toast v Carlton & Changes for Fremantle

[DickieKnee]

I would rather pick 2 than 1 knowing our luck our pick 1 will be cursed and will do an acl slipping in the shower after the night we draft them

Our last pick was Lids.

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

I know we had injuries but whats wrong with our mob

I want us to adopt the way Hawthorn rebuilt but a lot on here aren't ready to have that conversation.

 

[Cam Payner]

Generally I'd agree but not today.

Second half was better - first half I seriously thought he was the sub and was calling for him to be brought on for Dusty - wasn't until TigerImposter corrected me that I realised he was actually in the starting line up...

Uncontested mark differential

Positives
Kosi - one of his better games for the club. There's hope for him yet!
Blight - Essentially gave McKay a bath for three quarters.
Taranto, Hopper - very good
Rioli - Gee his run is important. Not sure if we can afford to lose him. But two firsts is hard to turn down.
Miller - Mr. Reliable. Love him.
Sonsie - not as big of a positive as the others but thought he worked his way into the game well after a few horrid turnovers early through biting off a bit too much. I'll keep saying it, I see the vision when it comes to him.

Negatives
Graham - Holy crap he was bad. I don't get why we continue playing him. I'd rather keep trying with Dow if I'm being honest.
Bolton - if you asked me this time last year, I would say he is untouchable/untradable. Now? Well, let's see what WA clubs are willing to offer. This might be just emotion speaking though.
Short - bruh what happened...

Pick 1 a real possibility now

SPOT ON. sadly I noticed Jack Graham picked up 5 or 6 very nice easy uncontested possessions once the heat went out of the game in the last and used it ok. but when the game was up for grabs he was too slow and coughed it up and gave away free kicks by being late or too clumsy.

Last year's Hawk B&F top 6 was 5 players 25 and under (including the top 3) plus Sicily. They're well set.

Hey I have been banging the drum since the start of the year that we should trade Bolton. Was laughed at and told I was a fool.

We need to keep the leader players like Rioli and Baker but the cream like Bolton can go. We also need to look at the late and midseason draft picks we have taken and seriously ask if they have a future. I think Blight does have a future and maybe Young can (if he improves his game) but there are others like Coulthard and Trezis that I think may end up on the chopping block.

 

[Bojangles17]

Banks was good when he came on , keep him in the bloody side rest of the year , DO NOT play graham ahead of him

 

[Tenacious T]

What Bolton needs up his arse….

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Ahhh back when only 20k of them turned up to matches.
The rest of them weren't even interested in footy back then. Bunch of rock spiders.

One of their fans behind me tried having a go at our fans because we don’t show up when we’re shit wnd the weathers crap. Can’t be too mad at the loss when they’re providing me comedy like that to laugh at.

I think louie meehan injuring 30 players has pissed over whether our list is still decent or not

beating sydney says we are not as bad as everyone thinks

but the club has dropped the ball in multiple areas


get the best fitness bloke in aus and see what happens in 2025

 

[The_Kraken]

Went about as well as expected considering the two lists.

Just keep panning for gold and taking the little wins.

 

[SunshineBoy]

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

 

[PetterdHoisted]

benny gale still there despite accepting the tasmania job 4 months ago

F-me yes, the biggest elephant in the room, what happened to that guy?

Helped rebuild Richmond and was nailed-on to be AFL CEO in 2018...

Today, he is telling us to give money so he can 'salvage bricks' from a heritage stand demolition job that we can't even budget for without a +/- $40 million cost contingency! Meanwhile he has also put one foot in Tassy.

We need a person for whom Richmond is truly home, not a waystation. We all kind of despised Eddie McGuire at Collingwood, but that was his final destination. Even our own 'Focus on Footy' mob, their final destination was the team we all love.

We need to be run by a true Richmond tiger, not a Tassy Devil in transit. The sooner we get a true-blue Tiger CEO, the better.

 

[The Mighty]

Short disagrees

Certainly does but we see the campaigner

 

[The_Kraken]

Blight was decent I thought. With a couple more games will clunk those marks he missed. I am really ready to see Graham not in the side anymore. I just do not see what he brings to our side to warrant games. McAullife looks better than Dow, and still think I’d prefer Balta back and find someone else to fill his spot in the forward line. I miss the days when we used to play like Carlton did today and just pile on an bunch of soul-destroying goals in a short period of time

Blight was very good for a debutant, but he had some poor follow-up efforts in the last quarter. More than likely a fitness issue that reflects the step up from WAFL to AFL.

 

[shaky]

How we lose a game by 10 goals with these stats

The bottom stat, turnovers.
Ours tend to be really bad and often result directly in a goal.
Also we don't throw the ball as cleanly to players in space

He wouldve been rooted

 

[Punt rd end]

Short is kicking out from the square
He looks to the left and sees I think broad on his own and further on the wing Ralphsmith on his own
Easy inside 50 comingup we think
What does he do, he kicks to a pack on the right side of the ground and the ball is turned over

Why? the **** kick it to a pack when you have 2 players on their own screaming for it on the other side

 

[The_Kraken]

that's rubbish Carlton are a very good side and they played very well.... at least half our boys played well enough today. Carlton had two purple patches of 10 minute periods where they're good players got on top , we butchered it and every bit of luck seemed to go their way.

3 or 4 of our experienced players put in half hearted performances but our younger boys held up their end of the bargain.

Those 10 minute periods where good teams pour it on are what premierships are built on. Remember when we used to do it to other clubs? It was glorious.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Yze seems a lovely bloke, watching his presser you'd swear we lost by a goal not +10.

I get that anger and coming down hard isn't the MO anymore but he's coming off so publicly accepting of this rubbish after every belting.

"we can see the younger and older players improving" is he on drugs?

You call it fitness I call it ability , we lack it in certain places

He's just going to get us the top picks for the next premiership coach.

Why else would Meehan be there?

It all adds up

 

[shaky]

Glad I’m not the only one who sees it

No, not the only one.

He knows the situation right now is hopeless and so do the players. We are just trying to make it to the end of the season. We dont even have a young team at the moment because we havent had any draft picks. That will start changing from next season, but it is a long rebuild ahead. It's hard to see where any improvement can come from over the next 2-3 season just by adding 18 year olds, so he may not survive, but we have no other option but to hit the draft for several years.

I noticed that too.

Won’t be long before he will be crucified here as well…
