Autopsy Round 5, 2022: St.Kilda v Gold Coast

[George]

4 Down 8 to go

I have my lucky superstitions too. One of my favourites is sitting in the same position when we get a run on, fearing that if I move we'll lose momentum

I pick us to lose on the poll every week

Liked Long's game a lot tonight. Probably a better offensive game than Paton has played all year. Will have to watch the replay to pay closer attention to their defensive stuff throughout the game. He's making himself very hard to leave out now. I really liked the role he played against Richmond and Hawthorn as a pressure forward. Will be interesting to see what they do with Webster back next week.

Surely Lienert goes out? I’m prob a bit harsh but I don’t see what he offers other than a ‘get out kicker’. Doesn’t seem to be that great defensively or offensively. I would bring Webster in for Lienert & Long as the 7th forward or defender rotating off the bench.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Higgins is an absolute gun.

Will become AA small forward - probably the best contested mark of any of the small forwards.

Some may take a big hanger every once in a while but Higgo's marking is fantastic for a player of his size.

 

[CaptainRisky]

D rose is my all time favourite player, and this just made me sad

Wrong thread boys

 

[Coconut_twirl]

Anyone saying that Billings isn't in our best 22 are smoking crack.

He more than holds his own in our team at his best,

Spot on. Billings ain’t no Bont, but he is just about the best link up player in the team and has decent disposal. Would take Windhager spot in the team.

 

[Premium]

Yeah like Hill he is the icing on the cake, now we have baked the cake he could be really dangerous.

Billings having the best part of his career playing in a team trying to plug holes in defense might finally get off the leash.

 

[ScrappyDo]

That was the most mature win so far. Assuming no injuries it's Jones for Windy and that's all.

 

[CaptainRisky]

I’ve seen the replay of it half a dozen times. The sound doesn’t do it justice.

At the game. The crowd really got going when Hill busted away from half back with the ball that ended up with Higgins 4th.

Fantastic bit of play.

And one he'll of a lucky bounce helped just in case no one noticed but yes it was an amazing piece of play that really lifted the crowd

is genuinely the best young player in the comp. At 21 years old he is getting between 5-10 shots on goal a game (sometimes more) No other key forward in the league is getting near that many. No one but buddy has done it in the last 15 years to my knowledge. Give him some more credit media

No Jackson a gun
And Max has been getting plenty of love, god been calling him the next buddy and Carey

 

[Kain26Toad]

Few here wanting to drop Long to bring this player or that player back.
For mine Long is in as good if not better form than Butler.
Harder and more versatile too.

Who fecking cares what the media say not worth getting worked up over

Butler has been down on form IMO

 

[The Jack]

Didn’t drink Collingwood game. Had minimum 12 stubbies every other week.

I will keep doing my bit for the cause.

Higgins plays like a key forward , is a wizard.

Doubt the coaches see it that way

Yep. The media absolutely love Max King. He’s the only reason we get any mention.

I believe in the commentary Joey refers to another bounce that didn’t go our way.

 

[Barrels]

And if Webster comes in for Lienert

You are literally choosing Jones or Billings for Windhager.

It’s Jones for me and I’m not even thinking twice

Actually I’m choosing Wood for Billings, probably. Webster for Lienert. Jones for Windhager.

But I don’t know why we’re still talking about this; we can worry about it in Grand Final week.

 

[The Jack]

I believe in the commentary Joey refers to another bounce that didn’t go our way.

Yep. We are certainly on the negative on that ledger.

 

[CaptainRisky]

I believe in the commentary Joey refers to another bounce that didn’t go our way.

You are talking about the passage of play where there were 3 Sun's vs hill on the city side of the ground, ?

 

[Barrels]

Sure but that's in isolation. What about with Webster, Jones and Clark healthy?

Isn’t this whole question in isolation?!

Would depend on availability and form. All things being equal he’s in my team, but he’d wanna be in form.

For example, I more than get the love for NWM, I love the skinny bastard, but it’s a hard ask for a first year kid to play the entire year, sustain form, and not get sore and pushed out; he’s not a bloke who’s got the “ready to go body” either. Will he still be cherry ripe come the business end of the season? I hope so, but we’ll have to wait and see.

 

[CaptainRisky]

Actually I’m choosing Wood for Billings, probably. Webster for Lienert. Jones for Windhager.

For once I agree with you, wood has been very good for us , lots of small things he does goes unnoticed

 

[Mowman]

Doubt the coaches see it that way

coaches votes last week
and his forward defensive pressure is 2nd to none
