Autopsy Round 14: Sydney vs Port Adelaide 3 Things you learnt

[SSwans2011]

He does that all by himself.

I think he can make it. Check out the way he played in pre-season (I know, I know... pre-season)... he can be a good footballer. Just let him play against some minnow sides to build up some confidence.

 

[Faysals Swans]

Ahahhaahhahahahahahahaha I just read some of the posts on the port Adelaide board an one of their supporters says "our outs are more important than their outs so I don't buy this Sydney depleted by injury bullshit."
Is this tosser for f***ing real?

1.Goodes can kick a goal from 50m
2.Impressed with the scramble by Rampe down back tonight.
3. If Shaw takes the kick ins, you may as well just hand the ball over to the opposition.

Saw that too. Laughable. Least some where willing to call him out on that

Someone must have to told Shaw that. There can be no other explanation for trying to take on 3 opposition players 15 metres out from goal.

Brain fart of the highest order from Rhyce. I hope for the sake of my sanity he doesn't take another Kick in.

3. Jones will play all games next year barring injury

Or suspension. I think we should start a book on that one, because it's inevitable.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

No way was Pyke fit.

 

[grimlock]

No way was Pyke fit.

Half fit Pyke >>>> Fully fit Derickx.

 

[BloodRet]

1. If I see Broadbent's mum having a stroke I'm going to give her a bump.
2. Goodes stands up like a champion when we need him most.
3. Jones will play all games next year barring injury

Almost died laughing at that first one. Crude humour. Love it.

 

[grimlock]

1. Not having 2 big targets to aim at meant that everyone had to work their butts off when playing forward. Brought back memories of Slingshot '12.
2. Thought we were done for when Teddy was KOed. Instead, the defenders especially Rampe, Grundy and Laidler took the challenge head on and were terrific.
3. Paddy Ryder 3 disposals 22 hitouts 0 goals. If Tippett put out those kind of figures, the media would be all over him like a rash.

 

[Swansujelly]

1 i love this team at times like this.
2 Jones is gonna be a beauty.
3 While a decent debut, the hype train for Nankervis is a little early. People call Pyke lumbering...

 

[Swans322]

1. Nankervis was better than expected on debut. Once he gets a bit of a tank he'll replace Pyke as our number 1 ruck and hopefully it will allow Tippett to spend more time at FF where he's most dangerous.

2. We need to invest in a good key defender in the offseason. Richards is getting dangerously closer to Shaw territory with each week. Personally I'd like to see Reid at CHB and Grundy at FB for the year if Richards doesn't get any better.

3. If f#$&ing Shaw gets picked one more week I will start sending strongly worded letters directly to Horse. He's just a complete liability. Jones needs to be out there each week playing his role because at least if he spuds up he'll learn from it and improve. McVeigh also needs to spend most of his time off HB. With a bit of reworking our defence could be very good.

3. Paddy Ryder 3 disposals 22 hitouts 0 goals. If Tippett put out those kind of figures, the media would be all over him like a rash.

Only because Tippett came here under a media frenzy. Simple as that. Tippett been statistically one of the better 2nd rucks all season

 

[Madella_swan83]

Half fit Pyke >>>> Fully fit Derickx.

Bwahahaha so true

 

[Zarrix]

1. Our success is based upon midfield grunt rather than forward star power.
2. We need to build the Nankveris tank ASAP, the next ruck who can also go forward a bit.
3. Fully expected us to capitulate once again when Port got that lead. Happy to see we still have a lot of fight left.

I like to get a view from outside this board sometimes as a comparison

Toby Nankervis is out of contract, and looks quiet good tonight.

Can ruck as well as play forward, I think he is worth a look.

What? He looked terrible. And one of the worst kicking actions I have ever seen.

He's slow than Hannath, doesn't jump, & walks around, Richo talking him up due to being from tassie.

He was knackered after getting a bit of it early. Barely touched it after half time.

How slow is nankervis lol

Swans have another Dierecx on their hands with Nankervis

Nankervis, really good tap work holds position in the contest and taps to the space for the mids to run through

Nankervis looks really promising

Lol, Nankervis has to be the slowest player in the comp. Looking like Rioli against us.

What a monster of a man this Nankervis

Early stages but reminds me a lot of Mumford the way he uses his body.

Nankervis looks the kind of player Port thought Ryder was going to be for them. A genuine forward target who can Ruck a bit, not a number one Ruckman.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

1: why do we play cleaner up forward when we don't have a fwd line?
2: I underestimated just how shit port were.
3: FFS i may as well ruck
4: how are these umps so ****ing hopeless? guessing, guessing, guessing if your not sure put the whistle away.
5: nakers was a barrel of nerves a few stupid mistakes made it hard to judge him.
6: why can't i stop at 3?

 

[PaulRoos]

1. As always, the longer the season goes on, the better Adam Goodes gets.

2. Reid is hot'n'cold but a keeper none the less ... impresses when it goes his way.

3. A very good team effort, gutsiest game for a coupla years.

 

[Superstar swan]

1. Goodes is in very good form. Showed wines up with that run and goal.

2.jack has one of our absolute best 2 games in a row. Looks like the jack of old

3. Nanka is promising. Still a while off being ready for consistant senior footy but showed enough

 

[The King!]

Half fit Pyke >>>> Fully fit Derickx.

Half fit Florencia Pyke is probably better than Drex

 

[The King!]

I like to get a view from outside this board sometimes as a comparison

Lol contrasting views

What do the opposition think of Pyke

 

[The King!]

I enjoyed last nights fight

But this side currently will be lucky to even get to a prelim


Hawks will beat us up in 2 weeks

The defence if they dont mark or clear it straight away are cooked

Foot skills lacking but the mids on the whole are pretty good well good enough to win it all

The forward line is not working as well as it needs to but the pieces are there

Ruck is a joke

I see a lot of cracks

Would be a bloody heart courage type flag win if it somehow happens

 

[Grongey]

1. One of our better wins this season, a good team 4Qtr effort, with the leaders showing the way

2. Kudos to Lewis Jetta for sticking up for an injured Luke Parker. As for Broadbent of Port - not your finest moment mate.

3. Liked the look of Zak Jones and Toby Nankervis, both of whom I've been advocating for selection. Both boys gave us something.

4. I haven't given up on Dean Towers. Look at the difference a bit of confidence made to Sam Reid.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

A Tank for Nank.
