Autopsy - Round 6, 2024: St Kilda v Western Bulldogs

https://www.afl.com.au/afl/matches/5941 Disappointing performance. You expect a level of inconsistency with a young and inexperienced team but very few can hold their heads up high after this one. Will be watching with interest to see what the response is.

[Cairnsman]

Brad Hill ,Seb Ross, Zac Jones zero tackles. What a load of s**t. From our leaders. By all means critize the youngsters

Pffft...a lack of talent is the problem...

 

[Saintbloke]

BJ is the mid coach

BJ and his midfield didn't turn up tonight.

 

[botts]

caminiti has dropped 4 marks he has got two hand to. Not good enough

 

[mufti15]

Cant win a centre clearance, can't tackle, can't get a free kick, can't hit a 20m kick, can't kick inside 50.

And doggies fans are up and about. Why did I come?

 

[CursingFijian]

Yet again the difference in class all across the paddock is just glaring.

We’re always going to be in trouble when Byrnes is the one setting the standard for us.

Too many missed marks from our big men. Too many kick clangers from our engine room.

We’ve lost our front half pressure capacity and yet another team has figured out that if they can rebound quickly out of defense then our zone is beat.

If Phillipou doesn’t get subbed out on the back of his performance then I’ll be mildly irritated.

 

[Hubnester]

And Butler is the sub to, ffs. What were they thinking?!

We're not exactly spoilt for choice right now though are we

 

[sauce_head]

Out talented

Coach’s fault apparently.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Finally our turnovers are copping a bit of focus. I’ve only been saying it for years. Wtf do Scotty Cho Ratts and rtb get paid for.

 

[Plugger35]

It looked like had a sniff of a comeback there but those 3 late goals to the Dogs has pretty much snuffed out any chance of that happening.

The Dogs are still scoring goals more easily than we are and it doesn't help when our midfield is getting dominated out of the middle.

We need to change things up at half time, throw some different players in the middle like Owens and throw someone else up forward.

Just try something different as what we are doing now ain't working.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Ok the game is over lets play nearest to the pin.

Bulldogs by 55 points.

 

[sauce_head]

Saints should refund cost of attending. First time ever I can’t watch.

 

[Cairnsman]

Pretenders - absolutely pretenders
But don’t worry ….next week they’ll fire up and gloss over these obvious cracks!!!

Don't worry...we have a coach with systems that can turn water into wine

 

[saintbill]

Yeah. We need Ross to tell them to switch on. There are no leaders on the field.

Somehow Ross got this rabble to finish sixth last year. Sixth. Just think about that for a second. That is the coaching structure.

This performance is about being ready to play when the siren sounds. The coach should not even need to talk to a player before the game to motivate them. It’s absolutely pathetic. We looked the worst saints team in 29 years at the start of the match last week. Well good news saints, you have a new record.

There are about four players that should not be traded.

Bit let’s blame Ross.

The list is not that diabolical. The game plan sucks.

Have to have 100 inside 50s to kick a goal. He has not evolved whatsoever. This is a 15 year old game plan and it is too exhausting to maintain.

Players starting to look like that can't be arsed playing this dour exhausting brand of footy anymore.

 

[Ads734]

Brad Hill has run his ass off. About the only one having a crack and you pick him out? Wow

Yea I think as a leader he shou;d be laying a tackles and for every decent disposal he's also run us into trouble. Run by all means. When we are getting thumped lay an effing tackle. Was better that quatyer, but still.

 

[StJHD]

Lazarus is the free kick or suspension that hits us at least once per week. Last week infringing 50m (not seen this year?). Tonight chopping (25 free kicks missed to Ming, never seen before); 2 metres over the mark (always is "two steps back please") and the 12+ throws they have made versus zero to us results in one free kick AGAINST us. 11-3 free kicks.

 

[hangdog]

We are monumentally s**t at tackling this year. Did we even train it at all in the pre-season?

Yeah, we're the fittest team in the comp and gonna run teams of their legs.

Eventually we'll introduce a football to preseason training.

Try something try anything.
Abandon the fu ken game plan.
Go random.

 

[g_TRAIN]

There are a lot of things going wrong.

But mostly I'm just sick of not being able to score goals, it seems like its our biggest issue, we can't generate good looks and when we do we can't convert. It sounds dumb simplifying it like that but we just can't kick goals and I'm sick of being a team that can't kick goals.

Goals give the team a lift as well, even if the oposition is also kicking them. Our players look flat because we just can't put a score on the board.

 

[kick it lace out]

Hope we make the most of pick 4.

Pick 4? The way we’re playing, we’ll struggle to beat the Roos.

 

[Saintbloke]

Finally our turnovers are copping a bit of focus. I’ve only been saying it for years. Wtf do Scotty Cho Ratts and rtb get paid for.

I'm glad Ratts isn't our coach tonight, otherwise we would be 8 goals behind at half time with a pathetic performance. Quick Bassat..go and throw up some big money and get Lyon out of retirement.

 

[Reb_Soss]

It’s going to be a long year. It could turn but playing like this we aren’t playing finals. I guess finishing 15-18 is better than finishing 9-15

Why do we bother with this football club.

Because we can't help it sadly

 

[Teflon]

Don't worry...we have a coach with systems that can turn water into wine

Out talented..

 

[SteeleSaints]

Wilkie is half the player he was last year.

Dont forget he is playing on blokes 15cms taller than him. At least hes trying, but he is attempting to hold up the tsunami with a shovel.

 

[Max the great]

Keep picking Bonner and Jones. Real clever. Playing with 20 blokes out there. Both petrified of contact and absolutely butcher it. Brynes at least tries but he is nowhere near up to AFL standard. Can't use the footy and I've seen U12s make better decisions.
