Autopsy Roast, toast vs Sydney and changes for Port Adelaide in two weeks

[Mr Magic]

I think our forwards was where not great, JR ok, Gibcus super when went there but the others did not do a lot. Ralphsmith, Short would good finding goals

 

[Noidnadroj]

I'm still bemused how a genuine top 4 side is going to struggle to make the eight. Time to get Caracella back to PRO as Dumma is going to fxxk it all up again.

Caracella is at Essendon isn’t he? Ahem …..

reckon gibcus is overated

 

[T4P]

Hold your horses.

I was at the game, drunk enough to not be following the umpiring decisions closely.

It was clear from when the swans started gaining momentum in the third that we were in trouble.

Irrespective of umpires. Irrespective of any specific decision. We should have won comfortably but we gave it up. That's on us.

Tom Hafey was once at Richmond and ended up in Collingwood
Barrassi went from Melbourne then to Carlton then to North.
Caracella went from Geelong to Richmond and now at Essendon , so he's always looking for a change of scenery.
Thousands of coaches and assistant's have changed their workplaces over the century of vfl/afl footy.

What's your problem junior?

Are you kidding me he kicked 4 on him (2 early in the last when the game was on the line). Gibcus didn't take big marks over buddy, gibcus didn't punch balls out of his hands repeatedly. Buddy out marked him and gibcus panicked holding him too. Thats why we lost along with undisciplined acts by nank and grimes plus gibcus, also turned it over in the last not hitting the target with rioli slipping over and Swan's goal. I am calling it like i see it and that's the way it went down. Dimma makes the call to put grimes on him midway in the last, too late.

I honestly don’t recall Grimes ever playing on Buddy over his entire career. So it didn’t surprise me at all he didn’t start on him tonight.

I think his point is, Caracella was a big part of it, but he isn’t the whole reason we did well. Essendon have hardly improved with him there.

He is a great assistant, but not the miracle worker people think he is

Caracella is a dud

Haven't seen the game since half time, and watched the last two minutes then. Dion's free kick and 50m penalty seemed to be the fair enough call by the ump. HOWEVER, McCartin was definitely gone for HTB a minute earlier there is no way not to call that. And if the whistle was put away then why was it pulled out for the Sydney player who staged 20 seconds later. Two more clear calls which the umpires should be scrutinised for instead of the last decision. Also Dusty seems to be pissed off enough at the end that I can see his Y&B passion still going.

Going in I wasn't too optimistic about this game, and I think again we're heading in the right direction. Hopefully cool heads and some reminders about keeping our discipline in check should get us ready for big boy month.

Out: Castagna
In: Lynch, Balta, Pickett, Cumberland, Dow

Damn, I know this is a bad result but damn there is some competition for our bottom spots which is exciting going forward.

Good call. Blatant HTB against McCartin and umpire was too gutless to call it.

I don't know what his point is, but if you ASSUME it will make an ASS out of U and ME.

We need him back as part of that formidable coaching team we had from 2017.

 

[Noidnadroj]

can't blame tarrant ,, no way. Edwards was ok- but my usual complaint is that he is past it.

Gibcus played well, not all Buddy's goals was his fault, so can't blame Gibcus for that- Buddy had his kicking boots on today.

Our discipline sucks......how many times can i say it ? how many months can this keep going ? our soft give away frees are the worst in the comp, --Dimma needs to show some balls and call this. take the player off for a quarter and you'll see it will stop quick smart.

Our selection of players sucks.......Keep on playing George - and what is surprising that he has a fair amount of supporters in here. MY god he is bad.

How many times can a guy fumble?--------he has to hold the record for that in the AFL. The game has gone past him.

same with Ross, apart from his debut he has shown nothing, needs to be moved on.

Our match day coaching was average........Bolton and short should've gone middle to give us some run. We lost momentum and without run you cant get it back.....hence my comments on not playing too many aging stars and playing more kids.......

I’ve supported George when he has had 15 touches, kicked a goal, 7-8 score involvements … won’t be anyone defending his performance tonight.

the fd are delusional thinking we can contend with less personnel

Should see if you can pawn the XD Falcon to get a bit extra, and load up on George to make a late charge on the Coleman?

But seriously if that bloke doesn't make way for Cumberland to debut properly next game we are taking the piss and wasting all of our time.

I remember him doing it once many years ago when he was a youngster. We had a few injuries so Grimes was given the job and didn't do too bad for a skinny kid.
