Autopsy Round 20, 2021 v Essendon - first win against Bombers at the MCG in 98 years

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Why do some want cox as our next couch when he can’t sort the mid group out

you can sort our group out when other mobs' groups are better. I liked jmac in there.after 1/2time

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Watching replay - get your kicking boots on Sammy FFS.

lol.. I have just finished,,,yay we still win.

 

[Angry Red Bull]

Not sure this is right? Would put us on the same points and would be relying on %. Possible that we could overtake Port on % with a couple of big wins though.

Yeah sorry you are right but if WB defeat them it will shave the % by that process alone

 

[The King!]

Looked like his thumbnail was bleeding. Think he broke the nail not the bone.

2-4 weeks

I thought Bud played well, used his strength and brought others in.

, I remain unconvinced.

True, I've never rated him for some reason. Did some nice things, he's a B grader for me that's been hyped as an A grader for most of his career.

 

[elastic]

How reliable is Parker’s goal kicking? Like a bloody metronome!

He's clutch

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I gotta say, if Bell is our weak link, we're doing pretty bloody well! Swap him out for Warner and we have a real solid 22.

I'd have an underdone Rowbottom over Stephens this year (in the team or as sub). I'd draw a line across Stephens for 2021. He really needs some consistent time in the team throughout the season, the finals cauldron would be way to hot given his lack of exposure this year.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

PA play WB in last game. If they get beaten and we win our last 3 we get 4th.

Nup, it’d come down to %.

We might need to pump GC or Norf.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

No you're right, I'm pretty sure he spent almost the entire 4th quarter and a bit of the third at centre bounces. In general throughout the whole game he spent more time closer to the contest than he has in previous games. Can't say I was a fan personally.

I hope you are right but I am not convinced that JPK's retirement will mark the change in our midfield, because Parker will still be there, and we've effectively prepared for JPK's retirement by adding Mills, who is literally just a hybrid of those two. So I don't actually think anything will change really until Horse commits to building the midfield around someone of a different ilk, like a Rowbottom, Florent, Warner type instead of just making them supporting players.

I expected to see more of Florent at the centre bounces.

Seemed curious that we were getting obliterated, but he didn’t appear.

 

[Mister B]

Completely agree, whilst I don't think Bell is completely useless the only moments I can remember from him today we're a couple of, oh that was a nice efforts in a few marking contests.

The thing is, he has done his job and if the time comes he goes back to the two's that's just what has to happen. Hopefully if we have to call on him again he comes in and plays his role again.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Reckon we still (somehow) underestimate Lloyd.

Look at how many times he gets it in the backline, sums up the situation & calmly distributes - setting up our rebound.

Rarely has a poor game (or misses a game).

Two-time B&F, with good reason.

I thought he was absolutely outstanding today.

 

[elastic]

I think what I'm enjoying most about this side is that we make scoring look easy. For so many years, every goal was an absolute challenge but now there are periods of the game where we can put on 3-4 goals in a blink. The forward line is full of dangerous players and we are able to give them opportunity. So enjoyable to watch.
As others have said, we still have some work to do in the centre clearances. Hopefully Warner can bring a different dynamic because at the moment we are defensive trying to stop the opposition who look faster and more dangerous.

Why you need at least 30 players up to AFL standard. Can't all be stars but those last 8 or so are vitally important to your chances, even if they don't play a game.

Papley's ability to make a goal is something else. A few times he was able to tap the ball into space, and in a second have a shot at goal.

Yep he is another (like Parker) that we under appreciate. I think it’s purely from such a sustained period of consistent performance that what they do every week is just standard for them.
he is so cool under pressure (how good are his spins under pressure).

 

[Jack Lord]

At half time we had scored 29 points!

So much this!!!

It seems Horse has given up on Florent as an inside mid. He went from one of our 3 main mids there last year along with JPK and Parker, to getting demoted to 4th after Rowbottom, to being demoted to the wing, and now is just sorta... a floater. Pops up at half back but doesn't really get a lot of it.

In fairness to Horse, Florent has never quite demanded patience with his performances. I'm still not convinced he's more than just a tease.
