Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Port and Season Review

[harimal12]

If only Dimma had jumped ship earlier,we could have had a better chance coach wise.A wasted year where he stuffed up cooking the sausages.
Then again new toys are fun to play with,but living on the Gold Coast is it worth it.
We have some great new toys also, kids played some good footy against Port.We have the makings of a team that could play finals next year a lot to look forward too. We just need a coach who will want to be there.

And yet Horne Francis gave Eleni a Spray and nothing

Exactly SB. I yelled at the tv screen at the time, ‘we got pinged for dissent, why isn’t he?’ He’s a mouthy little campaigner who needs to be brought down a peg or two.

Dimma is only one piece of the puzzle. I think as a club we havent had good continuity with our coaching ranks overall. Leppa, Fly, Rutten, Caracella, Kingsley all very senior assistants that have been a revolving door for us.

Next senior coach needs a crew thats committed for 3-5 years IMO.

A read a comment earlier about transitioning Dan Rioli into a midfielder. I can't be bothered finding it again, but that's such a good call.

Thought Dow did ok, we have something to work on. 176 mtrs gained from 27, is not good. 19 Handballs. 6.5 meters per possession. Even Hopper had more with his 16.
Last week Hopper had 28 disposals and Dow had 16. Id have both ahead of Graham.

definitely a higher handball ratio than you'd like to see from dow, but I reckon we're dealing with incomplete info thanks to champion data hoarding all the data

would like to see data from balls won by him and the metres gained by the handball receiver as winning it at the coal face can force you in to quick & congested handballs. especially since dow has shedda like handballing ability

plus he's not the most reliable kick at the moment so if he can find a distributor I'm all for that rather than banging it 45m to the oppo spare if there's other options

Someone needs to tap Grimes on the shoulder.

Seriously he is so far done. Embarrassing and sad.

The club is seriously negletitable By signing up for next season. God help us if he’s also captain?

Geez, the carry on from so called adults in the game day thread was really something.

Dead rubber and debuting kids and you would think it was a finals game.

Best result ever as Mini will not get the job now.

MRJ once again shows he has zero football skills other than running fast.... But but he has a famous surname.

Perfect Sunday.

Agree MJR is not even a VFL quality at this moment

I mentioned giving him a go as an outside mid/wing
Similar role that Short has played at times off the back of the contest as sweeper

 

[SouthernStripes]

Will never know the answer but can help but wonder if our season would have actually ended better (higher up the ladder) if we actually played some of these young fellas a bit earlier. Brown, Bauer and Dow are the three which spring to mind. McIntosh kept getting played out of form and Pickett, albeit played out of position didn’t offer much for weeks. We certainly didn’t look any worse without them yesterday.

 

[guruisatiger]

Can anyone answer the question — is Brown really 193cm?

No don't think so

 

[Mr Magic]

We looked better without Prestia and Lynch yesterday I thought, more energetic, more mobile and dynamic

Even Balta up forward, that worked, going forward Ryan could get a crack, just looked a far better setup going forward with Bauer and Gibcus coming back in

 

[guruisatiger]

Found 1 there.

Remember he has never once been in an AFL elite system
His trajectory is limitless,now he is in an afl system

 

[guruisatiger]

is that arsenio hall ?

Yes

 

[Mr Magic]

Quite achiever, Young is getting better and better to.

Not a superstar but does smart things and I think Grimes decision making is rubbing off on him

It has surprised me he has improved so much and a terrific sign of more upside!!

Looks better developed physically to

 

[guruisatiger]

Yep. The barbershop scene is a classic.

He was also awesome in Amazon women on the moon

Has anyone else heard Tigers into Elijah Hollande Gold Coast
They r looking at offloading him plus first round pick to free up salary space similar to Bowes last year

They’d be offloading him for picks, they need points for the academy players.

He wouldn’t be on good coin to warrant a salary dump, they also can’t afford to give away a first rounder for nothing this year.

 

[beema limapep]

Embarrassing that you keep jumping to a new player to slag off

I'm not slagging him off. I want him to retire with dignity and not tarnish a great career, for the benefit of the club.

You reckon Grimes still goes OK?

Would give them pick 25, 44 and 62 for pick 4 and Hollands. Pick 4 would get us Caddy or better.

Use our last 2 picks on Naish +1.

The issue with this, clubs that are successful your assistant coaches end up with Senior positions elsewhere.

 

[tigerdan]

Ended the year better than we started it IMHO.

Got a few young players getting games into them and showing a bit. That's all you can ask for in a cluster**** season.

Will never forgive Hardwick for saying "it's all too hard" and then turning up with a shit eating grin at fold coast. He can get ****ed.
