Autopsy Roast & Toast v Hawthorn (Dusty's 300th) and Changes for Carlton

[tugga]

You must close your eyes whenever Dow is near it...hell I know I do half the time.....

Good god man. He is absolutely atrocious.

 

[Groupie_]

He’s probably the worst footballer I have ever seen.

after sonsie

The season is a write off and I know it's hard with young players and no continuity etc, but jeez our ball movement is painful to watch at the moment. No wonder you look at the stat sheet and Vlastuin, Short and Rioli are all near the top - they all take turns kicking it to each other from the kick outs. Chip it to the pocket, wait 10 seconds, bomb it to the wing, rinse and repeat for 4 quarters. It would be nice to see us try and shift the defence side to side once in a while. That's how those little in board holes get opened up.

 

[tugga]

Anyway was worth the five hour round trip just to see the goat kick that first goal.

sosnie cant kick, cant run, cant handball, is soft, cant tackle

delist tonight

I heard from a player the culture has completely changed a couple of years ago.

Half the list, coach, Balme, CEO and president gone.

Don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out that was going to happen.

Question is whether this group has it in them to forge another strong culture.

 

[Triggering Tiger]

He loses a contest on the wing and jogs back by himself. Every game I’ve watched got to enjoy the sight of number 30 slow jogging back down the wing by himself. He’s a good chunk of the reason why our defence sucks.

Look he wasn't alone out there there was plenty of of his team mates doing the same today jogging around the G, he's been playing well down back the last month so to judge him on one bad performance is you just being frustrated and diasppointed by singling him out, he's not that bad as you claim just give him a go.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Tigers had a great run winning premiership.

Embrace the rebuild, it can turn around quickly as long as you’re not a Doggy or Saints fan.

Howdy All, I know it didn't go your way today, we have been your bunnies for years.
I just wish to acknowledge the great man 'Dusty' what a superb player, unfortunately I picked him in the Giants GF and ended up flipping putrid. He has been one of the best I have seen in my time, total RESPECT to him and the Tige fans for honouring him with such an attendance. Cheers and Beers.

 

[Coach_Required]

Their ball movement is amazing. Just got home from the game.
They are also very well coached. Everyone knows their role and they stick to it.
I think finals is beyond them this year, but they’ll plays finals next year.
For us I liked Ralphsmith and Campbell. Campbell in particular has some real tools that others just don’t have. Another 40 games into him and he will be very good.

Agree 100% said something very similar in the game day thread.
Just read an earlier comment that someone said he isnt quick .... Not sure they were watching the same person today. If he can improve the amount of times he gets it and becomes consistent then we have a player.

 

[Tiges1229]

I also feel yze is not the man

its just a feeling might be wrong

When we kicked towards punt road end every kick after a behind went to southern stand side , hawks players knew straight away where we were going to kick it.

Cursed round 0 and injuries.

 

[RobsJourney]

Probably shouldn't underestimate the loss of Ross with his reliable, composed kicking & generally good decision making...Edit: same goes for MRJ's defensive pressure...

This, MRJ was just coming good and starting to believe, his injury was very unfortunate.

**** we can’t tackle either ffs

 

[Coach_Required]

Supporters who turned up today just ensured we made a profit this financial year. Well done

 

[Tiges1229]

Chol kicks 4 today fmd

 

[RobsJourney]

a concern under the Yze regime is effort seems conditional & yo-yo's week on week

effort & intensity were Dimma's one wood, even when the execution wasn't there in the early and latter stages of his tenure

Nah I would argue effort dropped away at stages, especially in his last couple of years.

 

[Cam Payner]

**** we can’t tackle either ffs

We tackle like turnstiles....

 

[LTT]

Brown is a liability. Not sure why Yze would put up with a defender who just slowly jogs.

Use has bigger problems than Brown. At least twice I saw Ben Miller forced to try and tackle Shorts man (the ducking wizard Watson). Short just cannot keep up with his man running back to goal. I see the young guys running hard to try and put pressure on the opposition going forward but they are always outnumbered. Short and MacIntosh are just not quick enough anymore. And both have become unreliable when kicking and marking. Graham and Dow are not quick either which makes these two even more of a liability

 

[mauricerioli]

Time for Bauer, Smith and Trezise to get a block of games now.

 

[Noidnadroj]

Too many slow players. Graham too slow, Sonsie too slow, I think Campbell too slow but pops up for a goal.

Too many players too slow to force a turnover. We lack speed in open play.

You can shove the “pressure acts” stat right up your butt crack. They are the players too slow to get ball or tackle.

Team lacks speed, Rioli is a stand-out playing at high speed and intensity.

If you think Campbell is slow you have no idea.

Nah I have to say, I saw Campbell make a chase through the centre and he’s only a decent speed, he ain’t quick. He runs all day but he’s definitely not quick.

 

[lllscroatlll]

Might just get tickets and not go like the PF last year. Some poor campaigner missed out because I booked their seat

thats fugn evil lmao

Yep. At the game too. Their spread from congestion to get a player free into open space was simply too much for us. If there was a stat for that felt they did it 50 times more than us.
