Autopsy Round 13, 2021: St.Kilda v Adelaide

[Stewart66]

Pre Geelong, Ross was pretty much signed. What a backflip it would have to take.

I would be ropeable if we trade a top 5 pick for multiple top 20.

Nah doubt that is happening, we might be interested in trading someone not mentioned.

 

[pebblesofsand]

If we get just a good run with injuries. We will play finals.

to be honest, if we cut hard this year the above would be best case scenario. A chance for he draftees to get 12 months under their belts.

Yep - not a lot of player types missing from our best 22.

We need to find a few players but I don't think they need to be $700k a year types but slight upgrades on existing players.

I reckon we need

??? a competent mobile chb who is at least 194/5cm (Don't think Battle is the answer, Joyce is the type we need - not sure if he's good enough)

XXXX A running hbf who is great kick (Dmac/Webster but more attacking and better kicks)

&&&&&Another outside runner (Byrnes maybe)

Paton Howard Wilkie
Highmore ????? XXXX
Hill Steele Billings
Higgins Marshall Membrey
Butler King Gresh

Ryder Crouch Jones

Clark Sinclair Battle &&&&&

That still leaves Ross, Dunstan, Coff and a few others as depth.

Agree. need to take pick 5 to draft Hopefully North - Hawks offer Billings some big money for a band 1 pick

 

[lewdogs]

Honestly never seen a bloke cop it as much as Lonie after losses. What about Butler's missed snap from 10m out.

Can’t possibly see him getting enough money for us to get band one.

Imagine sacking a coach after a season where the club has barely enough players to pick a team.

Takes being a laughing stock to never before seen levels.

Do you think we've looked like a well coached side this year?

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

Did we get a report back from Stan Alves after his pre game rev up? Did we do him proud?

I think Coff will be one that does bounce back, was very good last year
Marshall is our most important player and is a huge loss this year and no one has missed him more than King
Don't think Billings is with us next year
Does Dunstan get another year ? I dont think so
100% Howard needs another big man to help him out
And you have left Byrnes out of your 22

Butler was bad. But Lonie is hopeless

Billings may be the key to getting a couple of the player types I've mentioned.

Coff will need to bounce back - mightily impressed by Highmore when he was given the chance to play the role he is best at - intercept defender.

I hope we keep Dunstan, great team man - will depend a lot on whether he gets an offer from other clubs.

Byrnes - hopeful but small sample size so far.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Really hope we can have 3 picks in the top 20 this year

Agree. Just not sure how.

 

[Diehard Saint]

1 for Billings

Is Ross signed yet ?

I think he is, or close. Sure I heard that on here?

The other worry is Ryder
Does he go on and if he does will time catch up to him at 34 ?

I'm shopping Coff and seeing who bites. If we keep Highmore and we get Paton back, Coff is excess, not quick enough to be a mid, is a likely type to be a good honest footballer, so if you have the "need" to try and buy a pick, it's bye bye Coff since ship sailed on shipping a Ross or Billings when "up" for that same sort of potential carrot.

Then again, I am keeping Long, as he did do well on a HFF, his disposal is relatively clean and he can also play small def and is just in a hole atm, so what do I know...

 

[Diehard Saint]

Hearing murmurs he’s staying for less dough.

But we are all in this year , bringing in lot of youth .
Should‘ve happened end of last year ,euphoria got the better of them.

Think we handled hub life a lot better than most clubs and got way ahead of ourselves.

Gerard on the couch (who I don’t often agree with) said that, much like the Dees after their first prelim in decades in 2018, we probably got a little too happy with ourselves.
I do believe there is something in this, if the pre-season training rumours are true and also maybe the lack of planning for longer games, fewer interchange etc and possibly the fact that our game plan was decoded by the Cats etc.

So we play finals and he finished 5th in the BnF of a side who won a final.

but off the back of a poor season for nearly everyone not named Steele orCrouch we should be trading Coffield?

Nervous about how Paton come back though. It was a terrible injury.
Holding thumbs he can regain his previous form.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Nah doubt that is happening, we might be interested in trading someone not mentioned.

Membrey?

Surely we dont trade out a top 10 pick who has had a 5th in the B&F after a couple of years

It would want to be a lot less $$$$
If Steele is 650 k Billings is 500 k

 

[Mowman]

Membrey?

Membrey not going anywhere don't have enough leadership as it is

Yeah its worry
Some never come back from a break like that

Would have thought Coff has the tools to be a very good footballer. All above the shoulders for him and I reckon he can work that out with support

 

[BrutThough]

Membrey?

Going to go with 0% chance of that happening

 

[Diehard Saint]

Membrey not going anywhere don't have enough leadership as it is

Certainly would hope not.
Just wonder who else has currency.
