Autopsy Round 12, 2024: West Coast v St.Kilda - Optus Stadium - Saturday 1st June, 4.35pm AEST

[sauce_head]

Well I think I am happy with the result! Feels better now anyway!

 

[Saints43]

Lyon coaching well and King going off won us the game

Midfield is allowed to get on top when King is playing. No rule against it.

 

[Saint12]

All wins are good wins.

Yep rather a win than hope to lose all remaining games

 

[Miha]

We’re all aware there’s plenty of work to do, let’s just acknowledge a tough interstate win, particular after the form we’ve shown

 

[Joffaboy]

That feels a bit of wallpaper over the cracks.

Not really, second half they actually did what RL asked, opened it up a bit. Looked like a footy team in the second half.

Need to lower their eyes going into 50. Been a problem for nearly a decade.

That feels a bit of wallpaper over the cracks.

They've beaten Richmond, Freo and Melbourne at home.
But whatever, go and feel bad after a win if you want.

 

[Saint12]

Steele had a big second half

 

[Veer Right]

Oh yay we won

 

[Big 0]

Wonder if the skip gets much flak this week. Heart and soul

 

[Banger9798]

Clark and Dow in tight were actually the difference....not all on Steele

 

[Sully111]

David King's commentary on our entries inside 50 was absolutely spot on.

It's absolutely coachable.

There is no reason for our forward entries to be such a shambles

 

[saintvic]

Our forward line functions better without Max.
When Max is on, they just kick it in his direction without looking for better options, as soon as he goes off they lower their eyes and take best available option.

Steele had a big second half

As I said in last weeks autopsy you tell everything about Steelys headspace with his tackle count.

15 today as opposed to 2 last week. Chalk and flipping cheese in the impact he had

 

[Cairnsman]

Steele had a big second half

Was better in the second half... first half was poor

 

[Saints43]

Another really good game from Dougal.
Having a great season.

 

[puppy_dog7]

If that’s not a clear indication that windy should be tagging the best opposition mid each week I don’t know what is

 

[Joffaboy]

Let’s just move Wood back into full forward.

Windhager plays his best footy when he tags someone, make him do it every week.

Dow doing exactly what we brought him in for, clearances. Love to see it.

Next week, out King (injured) and Ross. In Sharman and Crouch.

Thought it was Woods best wing game since this time last year.
Really used his tank and brought us home.

Windy destroyed Reid who sooked it up big time when it wasn't going his way. I am sure the rest of the comp will take note. Allowed Steele and Dow into the game more.
Thought Owens had a much better game, Henry a great second half, down back Doogs, Battle and Wilkie were very good.
Wilson still learning.
Wanted to turn off at half time. Second half very good, a five goal turnaround.

Satisfactory

First 1/4 was diabolical after that he was great

 

[Sully111]

tbf - Windy didn't do a lot in the first half.

Was he at centre bounces in the first half?

That last front on bone cruncher was a beauty !

You do realise Windy was playing back in the first half?

Only went to Reid in the 2nd half.

 

[Brian Oblivion]

I think he was hbf in first half - swapped with Sincs maybe ?

yes I do - he still didn't do much which was my point

Nobody thinks any coach tells players to hack balls forward rather than hit forwards up on the lead do they?
Only problem is the variables: kicker getting chased, vision to see the lead, ability to execute, time to execute, defenders coming at kicker, forward to get past blocks.
It's probably not as simple as just telling them to do it.

 

[StFly]

Abhorrent watch for 3/4 of that match, unskilled, corrupt BS in a nutshell.

A win is a win however, it's just sad that it took that long for them to do anything different on that field, and great to see that the much maligned midfield got to work a bit.

And yes the calls for Windy to Reid were great as Sincs was basically getting bodied at CC and was wrong choice in that rotation to go head to head.
