Autopsy Round 4, 2023: St.Kilda v Gold Coast

[Grav]

Ownens

Can’t even blame that on auto correct, must have been the celebratory drinks last night huh?

 

[Bertha]

FMD I totally forgot Steele isn't playing. That's how good we are going!

Cordy - King
Paton - Webster
Bytel - Steele

s**t... Do we have to drop Hammer for Membrey? Surely not? Maybe rest Pou?

* this is actually hard to do now...

I'd drop Cordy for Membrey

 

[PoppedCorn]

Lmfao
Thats terrible

Watching the replay and not paying massive attention

 

[sammm]

Except they had to use every bit of energy they had just to match us for one quarter and then died in the ass

there will be team gunning for the saints and we will be picked apart. it will be interesting to see the coaching after a few losses.

21 pressure acts

I’ve said for a year now I see a Patty Cripps in this kid and dare I say it a more athletic one with better forward craft.
Last night has me thinking it might not be that crazy of a statement when all said and done

[Saintbloke]

I missed the game last night, saw some replay, but curious how Clark and Pou went?

Is our current game plan revolutionary? How innovative is it? Has Ross done it again

I was talking to an insider after the game last night, he said the theory is that there are a lot of “smart” game plans around at the moment. Things where the players have to know all this nuance about “if it’s situation A then do action X, if it’s situation B then do action Y, etc etc etc”.

Whereas RTB’s plan is about making it simple for the players and predictable to their teammates. And they make it super clear to the players as well that they’ll be judged purely on effort and workrate, and that’s really refreshing for a lot of our players.

If this is true then no, it’s not revolutionary, it’s just making it easy for the players to play the game and then motivating them to want to do that.

 

[Holy Hunter Clark]

Ludicrous how Carlton delisted Stocker, he has become another Mr Reliable down back. Fills me with so much confidence now we know exactly what we are going to get from our back 6-7 and makes it so easy for us to rebound and go.

Bring on Collingwood, it looks to be a tasty match now.

Both well

Pou was playing a lot more on the ball than the last few weeks, he’s building really nicely, has Star written all over him
I could see him replicating what Owens is doing this year, next year in his 2nd season, seems that type of player.

Reckon Clark probably had his best game of the year honestly, used the ball well, seemed to be the link often between transitioning from D50 to F50

I wasn't hearing voices in my head was I?

Was our cheersquad taunting the pies with "Coollllllllllliiiiinnnnnnggggggwwwooooooooooddddd"

Please tell me that really happened

 

[Elvis Winmar]

My absolute favourite moment: Mitch’s goal in the third quarter.

But not the goal itself. It’s the moment when the ball has left his boot and is hanging in the air, curling inevitably towards the goal. The crowd on the outer side goes first. They know. Before the commentators, before the players. They know. Thousands of people letting out a collective “……..AWWWWWWW”, building like a wave before the ball even reaches the goal line.

An involuntary reaction to seeing something special unfold right in front of you. And not just the goal. The player. The moment. The team.

Think it as "MaaaaaasonWooooooood"

 

[The_Steadier]

One of the traings I went to a couple of months ago I 1st saw Stocker. He looked a bit tubby and unfit. Then in the drills his kicking was crap.

He looked a VFL player at best.

I wouldn't make a very good recruiter.

Gives us all hope!

Maybe my AFL career isn't the impossibility I thought it was if fitness and skill aren't pre-requisites

Yeah I heard that too, and a bunch of soccer chants. Not sure what it was all about.

 

[BucketsandBanger]

Let’s play a fun game. Who has the highest upside, Owens, Philipou or King?

If you had to delist 1 of them, which one would it be?

Don’t forget Windy

Well I hope our adelaide fans confuse the crap out of the magpies next week and start doing it if/when mason is winning the game for us.

 

[dudeintheswamp]

A particularly sweet moment seemingly lost among the many great moments (and a sure sign of great things to come), was the Pou exploding from the centre bounce with the clearance and delivering a nice ball inside fifty.

Very bont.

It shows on the field doesn’t it, players appear to have trust in their teammates to not only be where they are expected to be but also to execute what is expected. Teamwork & winning is fun, the players are really enjoying themselves.

All will play 200 games plus
Windy will be our Captain
