Autopsy Roast vs Brisbane & Changes for Dreamtime game R11

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

What R do we play them

Round 21

 

[beema limapep]

Like when Vlossy threw hands with his cheap shot to the gut of Hipwood

Wasn’t even mad about it
I’m glad he was angry shows that he gives a heck

Yep 100% spot on.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Say no more, this is an absolute dozy, one of the worst 50's that you will ever see.

.

What about being awarded 50m penalty and then maggot decided to call advantage…wtf?

 

[beema limapep]

Reckon they’d be more upset at the lack of pressure upfield. Most defences can manage if the forwards aren’t getting silver service.

IMHO It's becoming more evident our midfield is the line which needs the most immediate fixing and recruiting for, and that's saying something given how stuffed the other lines also are.

I don't think we can rely upon Taranto and Hopper alone, especially given their injury issues.

Graham, Prestia and Martin are stuffed. Baker is outta here. And Ross isn't quite experienced enough.

The rest pretty much played on the weekend and we know how that went.

Meanwhile we have Lynch Lefau Balta Kozi Fawcett Ryan Bauer as key fwds. How many do we need?

It will depend whos ultimately moved on but I reckon if we have 10 picks in the draft it's largely for best available, with a focus on 6 mids, 1 key fwd, 1 key back and 2 rucks.

So Hipwood gets a week for the dump tackle on Vlastuin but in the game the dumbass ump pays a free for holding the ball. And hipwood goaled for that free.

Vlastuin got a fine for the tummy punch to hipwood.

 

[Tigerish09]

The whole Yze appointment has me worried and reminds me of the Bummers and Rutten's appointment as senior coach. You have a successful assistant coach who fails as a senior coach. How anyone can be satisfied that players are committed when they lose by massive margins must have low standards. I strongly suspect that he has lost the players for whatever reason, there are still sufficient premiership players out there to be competitive for at least most of the game. Possibly the hunger has gone for some of the senior players and if so, they should be moved on for their sake as well as ours.

Dynasties/premierships usually centre around 4 to 6 A grade young players being introduced at roughly the same time. In the 60s it was Bartlett, Hart, Bourke and some others. In our recent dynasty it was Cotchin, Rance, Riewoldt and Martin. I don't see anything remotely resembling A grade in our youth, in fact I have real doubts that many of them will be there in 3 years. I had a pre-arranged meeting today so went to watch the VFL at Sandringham, left just after 3 quarter time. First time I can remember that both the Seniors and the VFL lose by over 100 points in the same round. I accept that there are injuries but that masks the lack of effort and an abominably low skill set of some of the younger players.

It's like we've been transported back to the dark old days and it's happened so fast.

A week. Jesus Christ.

 

[LTT]

Correct. Yze said in the preseason he would let guys settle into a position and not move them around

Somewhere there has to be a balance. Picking MacIntosh on the wing every week when he contributes stuff-all, is that stability or stupidity. Yze also says that injuries create opportunities. Why not treat the injuries to our key forwards as an opportunity to try Young forward. Like I say there has to be balance.

Way too early to make a call on Yze. He’s got good assistants around him. FD needs an overhaul, new executive coming in. This was always going to be a 5 year job.

Do it now before Tassie starts compromising the draft. Hard to win flags when you’re at the bottom and the comp is expanding.

Why play Young forward? He’s not even AFL standard but is getting a game because of injuries. Not going to all of a sudden be at the level playing forward. Play Bauer

 

[Nerflardio2424]

Balta needs to play backline, we need another intercepter down there. Sampson in. Young is TRASH, not even vfl standard

Exactamundo!

163-44 same scoreline as cats port 07 granny

What hell are we in

Weird coincidence, for sure, and what’s alarming is that Brisbane aren’t half as good as that Cats side

 

[tiger_tough]

There's a legit chance of us being unable to name 3 fit emergencies this week.

We had 4 AFL listed players in the VFL. A young ruckman, a late pick, a dud key forward from a trade, and a journeyman ruckman.

The VFL result today barely has anything to do with our list other than its decimated from injuries.

We barely have enough players to pick a team. The kids are playing well before they’re ready and have no support on field.

I think we have found a motive.

Dimma would've called off the match

If Bauer was available and had some game time I would agree. The reason I think Young could play forward is because he started as a forward, he is big and mobile and as he proved last year he is very hard to beat one on one in a marking contest. If he played defensive forward against the opposition best big defender he might at least stop the opposition from picking off the long kicks into our forward line and maybe give our small forwards a chance. I don’t expect him to be as good as Tom Lynch just better than Marlion Pickett.

My advice as much as it’s worth is to stop kicking it long to oppo areas where good interceptors can pick them off.

We made an artform of it 2017-20 but the game changed and we’re still doing the same thing without the players. Suspect Yze trying to change things and it’s going to take time. Probably just enough to Fcuk us again when they change the rules back

 

[Sir_Loin]

yes

Nekminnit Nank does his PCL again, Balta forced to play ruck and gets injured then we’re down to Miller and Pickett and we get smashed more than we are at the moment.

FD got a lot to answer for. Pretty hard to understand how this list was left in this state.
