Autopsy Round 4, 2024: Richmond v St.Kilda

[Baldur]

They made me go though the pain of losing before winning in such a lack lusture manner that I do not feel the joy of winning.

 

[gubby88]

Ross must have sent a rocket at half time. Polar opposite playing list aft that

 

[botts]

Never in doubt

 

[marcus1232]

Its one of those bank the W move on games.

Make no mistake we were deplorable in that first half like beyond shocking.

 

[Hubnester]

'Oi vey, what am I, chopped liver?


Get around me!

Don't see your name on the thread champ
Haha no, thank you for getting it sorted, I got held up.

Well.
That was a win. I think?

Always enjoy the win. Take the 4 on that appalling ground and move on.

A win. But it shouldn’t be that hard.
Same weird coaching decisions that don’t look like changing. Lucky a few stood up and lead the way.
Steele was huge. king was great apart from his goal kicking. Sinclair, Wilkie and Roma worked into it.
We are killing Owens and not sure what we are doing with the Pou. Too many “tall forwards” not enough contested mids.
Hate hasties sub treatment.

 

[The Jack]

We are such a hard watch. It’s excruciating.

 

[Hubnester]

I guess there's something to be said by stealing a win by only playing a half of football?

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Jack Steele said it felt like a pre season game, I had the same feeling watching on TV. Not really an afl quality venue.

Comment stood out. Wonder if that gets picked up by the media at all.

'Saints captain not taking gather round seriously' or some bullshit.

He's not wrong tho

Champing a mod, hope he cards you

Kicking one goal in a half of footy yet still winning the game.

Yikes.

Bleaghhhh

Exactly this.

 

[kick it lace out]

Owens & Phillipou really struggled to get into the game. The less said about Byrnes the better.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Take the 4 points and move on.

 

[westernsainter]

That ground is not up to AFL standard. Don't give a shit about the 'romance' of the place, flat sidelines the whole way down is unacceptable for a billion dollar league.

 

[St Muir]

Saved the game and probably a few careers. Brilliant finish but we’re still consistently inconsistent.

 

[Verdun66]

Hopefully the second half provides some confidence to take us into the next few weeks. First half a shocker. Very strange game .

Wilson immense in the last quarter. And great games from Steele, Roma, Sinclair and NWM. Another nearly game for Max. He wasn’t helped by our abysmal delivery in that first half.

4 points. Got to be happy. Nerves shredded though.

 

[StFly]

Now that I think I did right, confidence me!

We got lucky in the first half that the Tiggies didn't dominate on scoreboard, they torched us and we were mentally not switched on at all; players running over the ball, getting easily bumped off it, falling over, playing behind, we just weren't in that game in the first half.

Slowly but surely we worked into it, thankfully, and the Tiggies just couldn't run with and maintain it so we had some space to work in and thus ascend in as we switched on.

Kudos to the defense group for weathering that storm early doors, especially Stocker picking up the slack with the midfield run offs early like Dusty popping in whilst our mids were down.

 

[Saint Kidding]

So who will be rubbed out this week?

 

[Diehard Saint]

now the dog needs therapy.

So? He’ll join the rest of us on the couch
Maybe we’ll get a group discount.
“Hi, my name is Diehard and I’m a Saints addict…”

 

[Banger9798]

Welcome back Windhager into this side.

Steele hauled us over the line

 

[Cairnsman]

That hurt my eyes...anyone who blames the ground should give themselves an uppercut, the basics of footy and total lack of skills and fumbles and not taking the ball cleanly, dropped marks, it was the full bain marie of Auskick skills especially in the first half.

is our Marquree player, our supposed number one weapon, he needed to be 60 + or more goals in 2024 to get close to living up to that potential, he starts R5 with me asking when is he going to WoW me.

 

[Joffaboy]

Thought the pressure really rose in the 2nd half, opened up the game and started scoring.
I would seriously consider Jack Hayes to help Roh. Think Hammer can take a spell.

Bombing to a stationary King won't get it done, he never seems to lead.

Happy Bonner redeemed himself.

You blokes are a bunch of wet wipes.

Just read the final 13 pages of the game thread and you are all carrying on like sooks.

We had control of that game with about 5 minutes left in the first.

Only reason that wasn’t a comfortable win was goal kicking and Bolton (what a player he is).

For the love of god can we stop playing on grounds suited for under 12s. (Credit to the groundskeeper, unreal job on the grass)
