Autopsy Round 16, 2024: St.Kilda v Port Adelaide

[Sarcoidevo]

Nothing wrong with the gameplan but unfortunately we don't have the mid field to make the most of it ....swap the mid fields around and we win that game by 8 goals

The inconsistency on holding the ball decisions is ruining the game.... Bonner & Battle barely had the ball 1 second before they were tackled .... Allir actually tries to beat the tackler and its ball up

We were royally humped by the umps in the last quarter .... but that doesn't excuse Higgins shitful attempts at goal and some of our decision making when going forward

Pick 3 or 4 here we come

 

[OxSaint]

I think we need to temper expectation on Max’s ceiling. He lacks footy IQ, competitiveness and temperament to be elite.

Higgins will never be a reliable small forward that can take chances. It is what it is.

Owens lacks the class to play permanently forward.

One of the worst umpiring performances I have seen and we seem to cop more bad calls than they did.

 

[denisp]

We are not losing intentionally for draft picks - no guarantees on who we get will be any good - once the afl fixes this corrupt system we might be in for a better go at it like every other team

 

[Yawkey way]

60 points for the game says it all ,,,, again

One bloke in particular needs to go back to Sandy , cant keep making excuses for him although I'm sure there will

Appalling today and looks anything but a star.

 

[Teflon]

The run and jump at the ball and take on an aerial contest to want to be first hands on the ball for that mark and goal by Sharman is a play I can't remember King doing for a very long time.

It’s why you’ve always been a Sharman fan
Eye for talent you have
King will be ok
Just needs decent coaching
I’m not sure he gets it from line coaching set up atm

If the AFL doesn't start fixing the umpires then an outside force will.

The AFL won't like that in the least bit

 

[Holy Hunter Clark]

He is interested in Melbourne and the swap is Oliver, is the rumour.

Oh yea the midfield is horrendous - would’ve been worse today if Ross had of played

 

[gubby88]

Not going to waste another second supporting this club. Over it.

Will happily jump ship to another team that has a winning culture.

Thanks for the memories board.

bye

He should've been moved last year, this off-season makes sense too.

We need wholesale changes, and a new mix.

Should also listen to see what teams want for Marshall.

No the coaching department needs to put a foot up his arse for going around the corner when he is 25 put slight angle

Having a blast in Tokyo. Soooooo...... what did I miss?

 

[Duck Farmer]

You, and Kenny are going nowhere, hopefully for another decade.

Get off our thread.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yeah, sorry. If you read our game day thread you'd see 90% of us were cheering you blokes on. We will go nowhere for another decade if we keep Hinkley.

 

[The Jack]

It’s so ****ing sad barracking for draft picks.

It’s so ****ing sad realising another high draft pick, saviour forward is no good.

Umpiring putrid.

King putrid.

Owens gone so far backwards. Putrid.

St Kilda putrid.

Not waiting for another rebuild. They can get rooted.

Yay. Pick 4.

 

[denisp]

Is Max playing injured?

Probably needs a knee clean out but by God he is pitiful

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Next week Ins.
Howard, Keeler, Phillipou, Garcia
Outs.
Campbell, King, Owens, Dow

 

[denisp]

Seeing King's development is sad.

He's always been the key to us going on with last year, and he's let us down and then some.

Our midfield is embarrassing.

We should be looking to trade Steele at years end too.

We have no midfield

 

[Saint12]

The three kicks Higgins had at goals weren't fun to watch. how can someone who has spent 20 plus years kicking a football all day every day kick it so poorly. Did any one in here think when he lined up those 3 times... think here comes a goal?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

**** this one really sucked to watch. Been hard to stay excited

 

[Pardon me]

Having a blast in Tokyo. Soooooo...... what did I miss?

Not much mate.
Go back and read any game say thread from the year - similar thoughts and same result

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Having a blast in Tokyo. Soooooo...... what did I miss?

Not much.

I'd go find a good bar though

 

[Cairnsman]

Bloke was a gun junior forward, you don’t just lose that.

Been many a player who dominated at junior level simply because they had some physical advantage like height or body size and don't have the ticker for AFL.

Our midfield constantly stop when looking for options and second guess themselves when looking for F50 options. So many footballers will tell you it's a two way street and forwards have to provide an option...King has not been offering an option all season.

 

[Murraj1966]

What a day at the footy

King knocking on the door of the Billings-McCartin club
Midfield genuinely shithouse
Henry soft as butter
Sinclair great early then disappears
Higgins up to his usual couldabeen antics
Coops deserved a full game

Onto our belting from Sydney

Pick 3 or 4 here we come

Probably the worst umpired game this year
Players ..fans…totally confused the discrepancy of HTB from one end of the ground to the other was mind blowing
Same with 15 meter kicks …
Laura Kane should resign

 

[kick it lace out]

Not only did these two fail to fire, but a total of 3 combined tackles is totally unacceptable.
