AFL Autopsy Round 19: 5 goal loss to Western Bulldogs

[Harlequin]

You've all heard the movie 'Bad Day At Black Rock' today was a Bad Day At Etihad.

Disappointing loss to the reigning premiers

Joey with 6

 

[adsla69k]

Joe played decent but was unlucky too.
Stewart done well
Tippa and Fantasia were below avg
Hooker had baby hand amd bird brain in full effect.
Watson has to be dropped I mean rested.
Myers and laverde were useless.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Surprise surprise, we lose another Elimination Final.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

everyone but Joe + Parish pathetic.

Jobe is cooked.

Hooker is just a let down.

Goddard woeful.

 

[quotemokc]

Hooker is not a forward

 

[Zach Package]

I knew we didn't have a plan B and that wasn't unexpected at all because in the preview thread I basically foreshadowed exactly how the game played out in the end but holy shit, 20 ****ing behinds...

I count 5 games we've actively thrown away this year.

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

Bad kicking is bad football. Not the umpires fault we kicked 13.19 and pissed the game away when we were running over the top of them

 

[Duckworth]

That was hard to watch. Predictable, but so many unforced mistakes.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Just checking, this is the right thread for the calm and objective analysis of the game?

 

[Drummer_19]

Poop, only got ourselves to blame. Missed easy shots, butchered opportunities to set up more easy shots, mids allowed them great quality clearances with little pressure over and over. At least Joe is pretty cool.

 

[Skipper_]

Positives: Joe
Negatives: Everyone else

 

[SherbertLemon]

It's our senior players that let us down. Our youth have a lot of heart.

Love the man, but Jobe should have played his last game.

Hooker needs his brain surgically altered, what kind of moron plays on in the square.

 

[Halftimehero]

6 points down with 4 minutes to go and threatening and the umpires pull out that rubbish holding the ball on Baguley and game over.

 

[maskmcgee]

Disaster

 

[Charliebrow 16]

When you lose the clearances that emphatically, you're always counter-attacking and are reactive instead of proactive.

Need to win basically each and every game from here onwards.

 

[Andronicus]

Umpires were terrible.

We were terribler.

 

[Duckworth]

Just checking, this is the right thread for the calm and objective analysis of the game?

give it 24 hours.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

disappointed, but people saying season over/rebuild, get a grip

 

[SherbertLemon]

Positives: Joe
Negatives: Everyone else

Come on man. There were some real positives.

Such a dissapointing result.

 

[Loonerty]

Had his hands on Bont. He's gotta touch the ball.

It appears doing anything to Bont is a free against anyway

 

[Phone]

turns out a couple of 12 point turnarounds are hard to overcome

 

[MiguelM]

Positives: Joe
Negatives: Everyone else

Parish & Stewart ok

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Valuable percentage gone in the last few mins ffs just like against freo
Hooker **** me his kicking action pisses me off even when it goes through.

 

[dnbassador]

People say Parish plays Vanilla he was close to BOG but the rest of the term has a seriously Vanilla problem.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

STOP BLAMING THE UMPS.

Essendon lost that fair and square. We didn't show up and the dogs showed too much hunger.
