AFL Autopsy Round 16 08/07/2018: 16 Point loss to Collingwood

[JDavey]

Dont get the Long hate.

Easily looked at home, yes caught a couple of times but he had no support both times. Hard to do much.

Same... especially when Colyer is still getting a run. Based on one weeks worth of effort only he should be getting a recall over Trav

Hes rubbish

 

[Snake Charmer]

Missed Joey D so much today

 

[Pweter]

yep, umps were infuriating but we lost because we were outclassed when it counted. We arent even close to a top 8 side yet

****ed if I'm going to like this post, but quoting to recognise that it's the honest truth.

The day that Sidebottom retires will be rejoyced by all Essendon fans. He tears us a new one every single time we play them.
Mason Cox too. Should bugger off and invade an oil rich country or some shit.
De Goey is going to be another one of those Collingwood players as above that just turn it on against Essendon.
Too many stupid decisions from too many players.
Umpiring absolutely atrocious. We were destroyed by the little yellow men in the first, second, and fourth quarters. 17 to 27 free kicks at the end of the game.
We now have the lowest free kick differential in the league, and the past three or four weeks have really shown how bad it's become. A true disgrace.
McKernan is so unbelievably frustrating. Shows so much promise and then just absolutely mongs it. So irritating. We miss Joe.
Ambrose just isn't reliable enough anymore. Far too injury-prone. Time to bring in Francis or Ridley. We miss Gleeson immeasurably.
Long showed some good things. But also showed some very, very bad things. Fantasia would have been the difference.

****ing Collingwood.

We truly tested them. We deserved that win.
Spewing.

Both sides with plenty of quality missing but the better side won on the day. It was 2nd vs 12th after all.

Umpiring was questionable (particularly in the first half) but had no impact on the final result. I’m sorry to the many people that will disagree with that.

Their leaders stood up, in Sidebottom’s 200th, to win it. Not enough of ours did the same.

****** if I'm going to like this post, but quoting to recognise that it's the honest truth.

I disagree. Our best is as good as any other team except perhaps Richmond.

I can’t see him playing in a best 22 consistently. In fairness though, he hasn’t been given a good crack at it either.

 

[Runk]

Well not this year bud

Well it’s a bit like a tap on the shoulder from the wife. It’s not happening this year.

 

[Learntopray]

I don't even think Long was that bad outside of the few times he was caught. Perhaps a little unaware but he didn't exactly have options either time other than a dump kick back to Collingwood.

 

[Loonerty]

Woosha needs to take a little responsibility for his selections. Colyer, Ambrose, Long. Yes the umpires sausaged us and we missed our chances but the coach continues to make a couple of dumb selections a week.

There were some positives to take from the game; I might save them for tomorrow.

Yes he should have psychic ability and been able to tell that Ambrose would get injured.

 

[Shane Heard]

Just not good enough...yet.

Failure by us to dominate center clearences was telling.

Myers. Absent once again.

 

[TheGrizz]

Hes rubbish

Colyer and Baguley were far worse in comparison.

But hey, he only just came into the team so he must be the problem right?

Give me a break

 

[brutus76]

Right team won.
Sure we got a bad rub early on with the umpires.
But some shocking choices, skill errors and decisons made by players cost us.
I didn't mind Long as he had a dip and tried to take the game on.
Their leaders stepped up in the last 15 minutes to seal it and ours were nowhere.

POSITIVES:
Champagne Ham #5 - I love the boy
Zerrett and Hepps efforts in the first half to keep us in it
Long trying to take the game on and break the lines - had no help or ppl talking to him

NEGATIVES:
Ambrose injury
Myers - butcher central
Tippa is still a lazy ****** IMO
Bellchambers owned by Grundy

IN Parish, Fantasia, Franga
OUT Ambrose, McNiece, Tippa

Duh

Yeah because that’s what I’m talking about .

 

[Pweter]

Our best isn't sustainable for this group.... yet.

 

[Highly Evolved]

That weird 50 absolutely turned the tide. Crikey.

Thought Tippa gave good forward pressure. Bellchambers played OK as well I thought.

 

[Learntopray]

I couldn't even tell that McNiece was playing. Make of that what you will.

Seriously? I wanna hear why you think that

 

[Loonerty]

Yeah because that’s what I’m talking about .

Injured in the second quarter, was he really so bad that he shouldn't have been selected before that point?

 

[sameolds33]

Feel very flat and then I think about McGrath, Smith and Hepp (1st half) and Walla's tackling in the 2nd half. There was a lot to like about not getting creamed in that last Q. Did we win the 3rd Q?

 

[Thebisc]

Those who follow the media line of shit umpiring doesn’t cause the resulting loss are just plain wrong. Every wrong call(and there were plenty) effects the resultant play that ensues. It’s a disgrace that our game is officiated so badly. Are these blokes, who seem to go around forever really the best we can get.

Should not have been selected on form before Francis.
