Autopsy Round 5: Richmond V Geelong @ MCG - Saturday 1:45PM, 02/05/15 - Changes for North

[Lsta062]

Scoreboard flattered us...thought we were ordinary for most of the game
Poor choice by Dimma to leave Taylor alone to set up play for them
Poor choice by Dimma to not have Rance on Hawkins from the get go...would have saved us 3 goals

And would have saved our confidence

 

[Squibbs]

Really? We talk ourselves up all week and say how we'll "come out firing", yet we're just as bad as last week. So sick of this, we're just mediocre all over the field.

 

[DrMike]

Why even make these threads, same shit every week, the players and coach don't seem to care.

Amazingly they don't care when they win either

 

[Tigerbob]

Lol, try again bob

lol.

 

[MadTigerFan]

Scoreboard flattered us...thought we were ordinary for most of the game
Poor choice by Dimma to leave Taylor alone in the first quarter and a bit to set up play for them
Poor choice by Dimma to not have Rance on Hawkins from the get go...would have saved us 3 goals

And the 5? goal square goals we let them kick.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Is this the wake up call Dimma needs to realise that we play our best footy when we run and gun? Stop this possession shit game plan, and allow us to play the fast, attacking game we are naturally better at.

Didnt this happen last year. No run = 3-12, run = 9-0. Dont know how this has been forgotten already

 

[Groupie_]

Miles has become useless. Doesn't win contested possession anymore and is slower than a turtle around the ground.

2nd year blooze

 

[DustinsGuns]

Jack should be captain. He is clutch and obviously gives a shit.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Rebuild has failed dimma come at me

Yeah not many players turned over in the last two years...same effing soft member types ala Gibbs..

 

[Nallad]

really bad match ups and poor game plan from the get go.

OUT hardwick
IN: who ever the players respect

According to Roger Dangerfield it has nothing to do with the coach lel

 

[MadTigerFan]

Amazingly they don't care when they win either

When do they win?

 

[FatTiger]

Yeah I bet we can't even get ahead by 6 goals and let them run over the top of us like last season.

We won't even get within ten goals of them. Actually can't see us getting within 10 goals in the next 4 games.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Other than that...comfortably numb...yeee hawww...lol

 

[DontArgue4]

Cotchin can hold his head high imo, apart from that bad miss, he actually stood up and dragged us with him. Dusty was actually decent too. Houli was our best by a distance though.

Simply not good enough, that lull at the end of the second half cost us this game

It's not that Dimma is telling the players to stop and chip, clubs plan for how we play and very easily shut us down. At times we can still break them open, such as the last half of the last quarter.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Corey Ellis was very good for us...pity he was let down by some of our leaders

Morris...Morris...Morris...

 

[Tony Harrison]

I choose not to vote!

Na they will, just lose by a couple of goals each week, it's really good.

I think the message at half time was to run and gun.
Looked better when we went with it...still lots of mistakes but at least they had a go. It's a shame they didn't do it from the get go.

 

[TheDarkKnighta]

Take a bow Bachar Houli.
Coaching department needs a rocket. How do you get these kids to play like they did in the last ten minutes for four quarters??
I'd take 3 quarters, actually.

 

[SplintWhisky]

For me Corey ellis has done enough to keep his spot. Everyone says last years draft was deep so I think we should at least try to blood him asap. May as well get a look at lennon now to get a better look at him

 

[partycorolla]

Well in absence of another more sophisticated plan..... Let's just run and play on all the time.... Pick skilled blokes (if we have any) and just keep playing on. If we'd played like that from the start we wouldn't have been coming back from 5 goals down halfway through the game.

Positives:

I continue to make money. Loving the bookmakers - make us favourites next week please
Demonstrated that run and gun is the only style that we play half effectively
Selwood enhances his reputation as the best ducker in the game
Corey Ellis will make it
Lloyd must be dropped

Negatives:

The start - How could you start like that after last week?
No real need to list them all and my computer will run out of ink (I'm sure that's possible)
Forward line
Batchelor today and most other days. Should be a better decision-maker
Blicavs body odour - just putrid. I wouldn't go near him either.
Skill level - despite the way we played, had our skill level been 10% better we would have won.
Lennon but it isn't his fault. He should have been played his 25th game not his whatever it was....
A bunch of other players...

In: Castagna, Lids, Conca, Menadue, Short
Out: The 5 worst players today.

If we are going to lose games anyway, let's start giving the kids a chance. I don't really see the point of including players who do not turn up week in week out anyway. It is easier to watch players who still care about playing well rather than those who don't care anymore.

Ps. I am not trolling. I just am not interested in making finals this year as the club will just cover the problems up anyway like they did last year

 

[Squibbs]

We've beaten 1 out of the Dogs, Lions, Dees and Cats. ****ing disgusting.
