Autopsy Round 22, 2024: Positives and Negatives vs North Melbourne

[Quinz]

Need to flip Reid and Duggo please Schoey

 

[Bort Cummings]

Our second round pick is going to be #57 after that, but I don't care. All positives.

 

[Trouto]

Gonna lol when only two eagles will feature in the coaches votes and perhaps one in the brownlow. Might be biased but oscars last half would have him bog

no way man - Gov had nearly the best game of his career

i can see Reid tiring a bit, its his first year and i rekon the club are keeping him away from the center after the bruising Derby

12 goals in a quarter and a half?! There have been games this year where we've struggled to kick FIVE! Up the mighty fliers!

To be fair Reid was carrying an injury in the second half. But yeah this better not continue.

Reid ankle didn’t look great.

Duggan did ok in the 2nd half against Sheezel. Couple defensive and first touch mids will make a huge difference.

Huge win.

Since 2020 we probably would have given up on a game like that half way through the third.

Seems like head dropping and limp away performances will no longer be accepted.

Could see (and half expected) a 10-12 goal loss happening halfway through the 3rd.

Definitely a change directly stemming from a new voice imo

 

[Flarn Rarn]

Having a lot of trouble processing this one. First and foremost, **** yes. So good to win. To win in Tas. To win 2 weeks in a row. To put another tick next to Schofield's name.

Where I do feel for North is that they lost despite playing pretty consistently for 4 quarters. We switched off for a half and those long stretches of the game where we don't score are still too frequent. Lots to do there.

Gaff, like Darling last week, was great. Rolled back the clock.

Love the resilience we've shown the last 2 weeks. Get your head read if you think these guys aren't responding to JScho.

That pissed me off. Got what he deserved

Reid's exceeded what I expected out of him this years to be honest. He's a young contested bull with an average? fitness base at the moment...first half of the year was great, now's getting tagged, roughed up and sat on before even playing 20 games is something barely anyone's ever gone through.

Couple more pre-seasons and he'll fight through it.

Gov was incredible and Allen played out of his skin in the second half. Yeo’s fourth quarter was superb too - kicked an important goal and stood up big time in the middle when LDU was threatening to take over the game. And Ginbey just keeps getting better.

That said, Dewar’s goal might have been my favourite moment. Love watching this kid play

 

[Footfalcon]

Negatives:

• A lot of passengers until half way of the third term.
• getting slapped by xerri
• Getting kited by opponents midfield structure who are able to move it out without pressure out the back of stoppage

Positives:
- McGovern just may be the greatest of all time, he does it time and time again

- Big big effort to get the win for a highly morale benefiting away game for the team morale

- North getting a dog up em

 

[eaglespremiers]

To quote a North poster in their gameday thread before we kicked the last four goals of the game:
"what you're witnessing right now lads, is the future of this footy club.

Get excited."

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Dewer's goal in the last. Pure sex.

Trew, Dewer, bunch of other young kids Simmo.didnt seem to rate showing their worth.

Plenty on here didn’t rate them either

27 scoring shots from 42 entries is elite

If we ever get it inside 60+ we'll flat track

no way man - Gov had nearly the best game of his career

I'd go:
3 - Allen (5 goals and standing up when needed is hard to go past)
2 - Gov
1 - Xerri

 

[Hoskin300]

I'd go:
3 - Allen (5 goals and standing up when needed is hard to go past)
2 - Gov
1 - Xerri

Hard to go past Allen scoring two goals in the last two minutes.

 

[Pottering]

Positive: we won

Negative: the boot studder, half the team spent most the day on their arse after slipping over in what seemed perfect conditions

 

[MeltMan]

Well ****. I had to go no phone zone at work in the 3rd quarter and was happy for the excuse to stop listening to us be crap.
What the **** happened lmao.

 

[JackDoff]

Suck shit Clarkson. You might as well start grovelling to the AFL right now for, more draft picks,compenation picks, money, groceries, anything. What a shit of a club.
Suck shit Cam Zurhaar.
Well done boys. Showing some spirit under Jarred Schoey

I wouldn’t underestimate the benefit these late season wins will have on the group. Got ourselves away from the spoon and our younger crew are getting the chance to grow in their roles whilst being protected by our older boys. Getting some traction with our green shoots.

Our efficiency up forward inevitably got us the win, but Gov really held up his end of the bargain down back as our one key back. This description of him mid week from Daniel Hoyne really is accurate.

 

[donpyke92]

Gaff's courage has been questioned by some here over the journey.
Never subscribed to that POV.
Courageous mark that, if not taken, may've been a rebound and game over.
Love it.
