Autopsy Round 23, 2022: St.Kilda v Sydney

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hanners finishing off in style immense effort but he always put his body on the line.

Glad he was able to have one final A grade quality game.

Bounce is the first show that runs after a round of footy and 20 minutes of it is spent reacting to youtube videos.

The round of football and the week of stories that just went down and I'm watching Andrew Gaze overreact to videos some intern pulled for him an hour ago.

Can’t watch it. It’s embarrassing to watch grown men spout that drivel and act like overgrown teenagers. Especially at a time when there should be a comprehensive wrap of the round.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Didn’t even need any of that external help

U dont when its one set shot
Looks better on the run or a snap lately

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

LOL yeah you are right

I like 360 and Couch, only two I watch, but can see completely how saturated it is. 360 doesn't need to run for an hour every night, a show on Monday recapping the round gone and another on Thursday previewing the week ahead should suffice. I think they've realised that too because 360 Plus is more focused on previewing all the games as opposed to gossiping about the stories.

It's easy to get sucked into it all and probably has made me enjoy the game less. Would like to just watch the games on weekends and ignore everything else and see if that brings back the enjoyment for me. Back when I was younger there was none of it, just the game on the weekend and the sports report on the news at 6. I can see how the AFL media landscape is partially to blame for people not enjoying it anymore, along with a number of other reasons (umpiring being another main one).

First Crack is absolutely worth your time if you haven't watched it. Much more of a focus on breaking down plays and analysing individual games rather than the broader repercussions of them.

You're right about it being oversaturated though, and not just for content but the same handful of personalities appearing on every TV show and radio station.

FN hate the way Sydney play...waiting for the other team to make mistakes.

Yep they get the w's but yuck yuck yuck.

Windhager, King, Owens (with some help) etc are our future - when we have the confidence to take the game on we will win those games.

Looking forward to the future

I'm trying to move away from the analytics even though I love it, I just think it's part of the reason I'm not enjoying the game as much. Ignorance is bliss as they say lol. So much football content and it's just on constantly, the less I can take in the better I reckon.

There's not to much waiting when playing us

Don't beat the club up, that happens enough externally.

Pieces are coming together, I have faith.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

For all the people that bag the Hannebery trade. It’s games like these that show why we did it. Unfortunately it didn’t work out, but he’s a great player and you can’t blame the club for going for him.

Talk him out if retirement. Top 10 in the comp still

 

[Munga]

Great game by Long but that huge contested mark followed up by a 40m backwards kick summed up our night and season

And when they all do it, it's coached.

It reminds me a bit of the Lyon days, except we're extremely slower and shorter switching it, which is ineffective. Still haven't worked it out. Maybe it stretches the field more to open the corridoor a little? Someone must've done the maths on it.

 

[longlivelenny]

I bloody hope that Carlton cop the same criticism and heat that we have. Fairly similar approach to drafting and have arguably 4-5 all Australian candidates in McKay Curnow weitering, Walsh Cripps.
That team should absolutely be pushing top 4 and they failed.

Are they ?
under Ratts 6th - 10th - 10th
at the bye 8/3 after the bye 3/8
Totally unacceptable from all involved

A season that could have been so much more.

Legit sad to see Paddy go.

Want to see Long signed up. He's improved. I think he might be very good next year.

Skills skills skills. That's what we need to sort. Along with hopefully a completely different gameplan.

We have some dumb footballers.

But we have some young players who are exciting.

Tip my hat to Sincs and Wilkie... both had great seasons. There's some daylight between those two and the rest of the team with how individuals performed this year imo.

Solid season from Seb. Always bagged him. Respect to him.

Ratts... I just don't know man.... Honestly sometimes I think he's clueless. Would love him to prove me wrong but I'm not holding my breath.

How anyone can watch Bounce is beyond me. George is right... Gaze is insufferable. If someone could magically manifest Gaze's sense of humour in the form of a solid structure... I'd set fire to it.

They want to hold possession and not risk the long kick. He fetisheses the WCEs sort of kick, mark, hold-up type game plan.

I'm finding I'm moving towards analysing games.

I'm happy to sit up top and watch games to see plays and structures

 

[Plugger35]

Long was brilliant today, if we had the likes of Bolton or MRJ he would be even better, we have NWM who is also brilliant but is still a work in progress.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

I love this board sometimes…

Melts all over the place over the last 48hrs about “pLaYiNg GeRiAtRiCs” at the expense of the kids…

Melts for years about the Hannebery trade cos he’s cooked…

Then Hanners has a blinder when there literally no tomorrow and he doesn’t ever have to back it up and it’s “sign him up, what’s wrong with this club?!!!”.

Amusing.

Might not be the same people though Uncle

I sort of do have faith. I think we could go either way. We really have heaps to improve but plenty of sides have gone forward from where we are....but others have dropped as well. Really on the cusp and Ratts has more work to do than anyone. His career hinges on what he can do in the next 6 months.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Reading back on the game day thread which I can’t reply to, so many people potting Higgins….

When you’re lambasted by all and sundry, the media “ experts” and probably your own club and supporters not to be “selfish” this is what happens. We’ve destroyed his confidence (something we seem to be fairly good at.)

As I’ve posted before, it’s the “job” of a small forward to be selfish at times. It may not always come off, but when it does it’s team-lifting stuff.

Imagine anyone telling Milney he was too selfish.

Amusing.

Some of us have wanted him signed up well before today. Some still don’t want him signed up. You might be confusing different people’s responses?

Having said that good old fashioned inconsistency is what this club is all about - it’s contagious!

He doesn’t help himself with his set shots.

Great response from King

0.5 last week

5.0 this week

Bring on 2023!

Hope we play on Sunday every week next year. We will certainly play less Friday night matches…

 

[Diehard Saint]

It’s the snaps and running into goals etc I’m talking about. You can see him second-guessing himself. Not just this game either. His confidence is shot.

Yep been saying that today to some others ie cringing to mates who are other teams supporters feeling the need to get in before they do.

Disappointing no doubt, but fu.k it think we are ok. Will have a huge turnover over the next 6 months but the core is there.
