Autopsy Roast & Toast vs GWS, Rd 3 2019, & changes for Port

[Grrr]

Haven'r read the thread but some things. Stack is ready made, great debut. Balta very happy with and finding his feet but very competitive nature on a football field. Lynch good. Thought we were in the game for most of it, just not good enough to close the gap. This is to be expected with so many quality players out.
Castagna, although he got better as the game went really is not good enough. Butler has no grunt. Could you imagine him putting his body on the line like Rioli did when he got crunched. Ellis is gone. Thought Markov showed way more than last week and sure he made some mistakes but he was involved 100% more than last week. Thought Cotchin had a shocker.
But we have some really good players developing in the VFL, Ross, Bolton, CCJ, and with all the players to come back thought it was about as you would expect coming up against a good side. Not blown away.

Moron coach?
FK me doesn't take long.

I reckon he is a mediocre coach.

This about the 10th year of not helping star players when they are getting rape-tagged

 

[wegetpumped]

not a good time

It's only a game their other things in life more worrying. We were poo so just need to get over it.

 

[Tony Stark]

I think we will win against Port next week.

Would like to have your optimism but can't actually see who we could beat at the minute, firing blanks in most if not all key positions.

 

[Ashman OG]

Here come the bigfooty autopsy panic button hitters, these few weeks were always going to be tough. Next week we get a few more back and itll start to get better.

 

[Spacedog]

Feel like pure shit just want to go back to september 2017

 

[Daveeee_12]

stoked with stacky ..thought he was great. we need to play ross and rcd and blood them as quick as possible...unfortunately dimma will go into self preservation mode and think that bellis is our best option

RCD needs to find the ball more. When he's consistaty getting 20 touches then bring him in.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Feels a bit shit doesn't it...

Don't know what has happened to Dusty and Lambert but the drop off in form from the last two seasons in all 3 games this year has been massive.

But there are a whole stack of positives though ... A load of young guys showing that the future isn't too bad at all... Rioli, Higgins, Graham, Balta, Garthwaite and Stack all showed quite a bit when you consider we have what 6-7 best 22 out against a team that's considered top 4 material and always going to be favoured by the umpires on their home patch.

Plus Lynch is starting to develop some fitness/form...we're getting 3-4 goals a game from him whilst he's still a long way off peak performance.

Lambert was 100 times better than Martin today.

 

[guruisatiger]

[rammbo]

I actually seen some good signs today

 

[Waca Jr]

I reckon you can say off the 25 or so players we have used in three rounds only 3 of those have a good seasons:
- Edwards
- Nankervis
- McIntosh

Broad stiff. Been awesome

 

[GoTigers2015]

Sydney Short has got to be the Rising Star nominee this week.

 

[Rubber Hips]

How can Butler have 0 tackles?

 

[Spacedog]

Here come the bigfooty autopsy panic button hitters, these few weeks were always going to be tough. Next week we get a few more back and itll start to get better.

Until Martin, Cotchin, Prestia etc start to find some form we are going to struggle even when Riewoldt and Houli come back. We are losing in the midfield and have no injuries there

 

[wegetpumped]

You don't make the AA squad if you're not good. So you are objectively wrong.

Well, I couldn't have been to wrong look at him now. Still, gets high possies and does what he always did.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

I'm not defending Ellis but he doesn't seem an aggressive player.
I can't recall him in a fight.
Never expected to win today but disappointed by the final quarter fade-out.
Again, in the game until three quarter time.
Our depth is being tested by injuries but Butler, Castagna, Ellis, Graham, Markov could be omitted.
Terrific result in the VFL means we should turn over a new leaf.

 

[BKM78]

Grimes got 1 week? can't he come back?

grimes caddy

Yep yep of course. My bad. Was purely thinking about guys who played.

Grimes for Short.
Caddy for potentially Martin depending on Tribunal etc. Otherwise Cassy for take your pick.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Garth is going to be a really good player for us. They rushed him in when he isn't half ready cause of our shortages.

Said before the game it was a risk with Garth.No pre season.

 

[tora tora tora]

Tough day at the office for the backs. Short unlucky, Vlas absolutely appalling, Stack was unbelievable. Garth was passable. Hasn't played for a year. Balta is getting closer to being very good. Markov actually had a very good 30 ~ 40 minutes for about a qtr & a bit. Fwd line: Got to get rid of Butler. Lynch & Rioli were good. I hope Rioli's OK. Thank christ we have some INs: at least Caddy, Houli, Grimes. OUTs Short, Butler & Dusty/Rioli

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Sydney Short has got to be the Rising Star nominee this week.

Will go to someone from Hawthorn or Sydney or Geelong knowing the AFL.

 

[Meli]

Might not have Cotch next week either....

 

[Punt rd end]

Realistically when i looked at the fixture when it was released I had penciled in probable losses to colonwood and this game, but a win for next week. Here's hoping for some players back

 

[Waca Jr]

Ffs you lot
We have our best players going down left and right
We lack a bit of polish
We were playing against one of the best teams in the league
We were in the game until really late despite kicking ourselves out of it.
Annoying that we threw it in late but geez once the side starts to settle we are GOING to be good again.

Love your optimism, but fact is they look nothing like the side of 2017 and 2018 and lack of depth being severly exposed.

 

[Rubber Hips]

What’s wrong with Cotchin?

Don’t tell me he is injured...wasn’t sighted much in the 2nd half

 

[HumanMeatball]

We need 4-5 players back ASAP or we in trouble
