Autopsy Round 6: North Melbourne V Richmond @ Blundstone Arena - Changes for Collingwood

[no orange peeler]

Didnt see the game followed a bit on twitter and just checked stats.
-Stats obviously lie. If you read them only you would have thought we would have won.
-Losing griff in the 1st qtr obviously really hurt.
-People are talking turnovers but we only had a couple more then north.
-Glad i didn't watch as i ****ing hate Lindsey Thomas and would have ripped the tv off the wall.
-Team obviously lacks confidence. Press and external pressures are obviously getting to them.. (use Rance for eg)
-might be time for a few to back off the tigers take stick and actually rally our support.
-bring on the scum

IN PROTEST I AM WEARING MY RICHMOND POLO SHIRT AND EATING SPAG BOL WITH NO CONSIDERATION FOR SPILLAGE OF SAUCE ON IT.

OMG THAT'S CRAZY. YOU'RE CRAZY!

By who? Us the public or the players?
Serious question.

If it's the players then he must go immediate.y...6 years is more than enough
Tigers stopped turfing under performing coaches out after a year or 2 in the early 90s...20 years ago
6 years is a fair run...it will be as plain as day by year's end whether Dimma stays or goes

If he goes, I'm not sold on getting a Lyon or Ckarko ( which we just wouldnt have a chance to anyway)

Not sure about Morris... Did well to come back on after what looked like a game ending injury
10 possessions ( in the bottom 15% ) ...56 afl fantasy points
If you compare his game today to his very low base games this season... looks ok but really ordinary all round..meh fior mine

As a leader not good enough ...too many turnovers and dumb play

Stats are misleading. Morris' influence
was terrific. Took a few strong grabs, and his pressure was outstanding. Was one of very few who looked dangerous today. Without Morris, we would have been even worse today.

 

[Sol23]

Which ones? Plenty to choose from.
Turned into a zero impact player this year.

He's frustating like all his teammates

Sorry dude. I get your point but I disagree...he was poor..regardless if he smashed the packs and took 1-2 nice grabs...he should be doing that and much more week in week out...2 goals for the season from our crumbling forward...meh

at the end of the day it doesn't matter because we were smashed

 

[Tetley Tigers]

This thread is now an autopsy of the Club, not another insipid performance.

 

[Tony Harrison]

Which wins are we still confident of pencilling in?
Not saying we won't win some games, but week to week I can no longer say we will win this game for any of them.






....except Brisbane. Do we play them again?

what do people think is going on here? last year he provided so much run and carry. is he playing under instruction to find the nearest target? is there nothing upfield? i should add, i didn't see the game today (thank god)

 

[Rubber Hips]

Just feels like Dimma has lost the players ...

 

[Tetley Tigers]

team next week should be :
B: Batch Astbury Chaplin
HB: Houli Rance McIntosh
C: Ellis Cotchin Ellis
HF: Edwards Griff Delideo
F: Vickery Riewoldt Morris
R: Maric Martin Miles
Int: Hunt conca Vlaustuin Grimes

let vlaustuin go in the guts, play ellis more, try 3 big fwds mcintosh goes back to help with run out of defence

Sensible post. But is Conca injured - he didn't play in the magoos today but I stand to be corrected.

He's not a crumbing forward. He's a
defensive forward. His role is not to rove
packs, but to pressure the oppositions
transition from defense. He was the only one who pressured north in their rebound and provided a contest in the air and on the ground. If you don't think Morris was good today, you need to rewatch the game.

I was thinking Saints but after today i changed my mind lol

Spot on Morris wasn't our problem today. Being unable to execute basic Football skills that under pressure seem to elude these professionally paid players.

No, but we play North again.

And Carlton, we might get a win there.

We also play Freo, Collingwood and Essendon twice.

Going to be a long season again.

What the hell is going on in Rance's head? Played in frustration mode and did some out of character acts.

Dimma just checking the stats first....

Morris is a back pocket really...played his best footy there, don't reckon he works in the f50

...I'll pass on re watching the game...thanks anyway

Just soreness but needs a second game to get match fitness at least, if he is right to play.

What decent player in the league wouldn't be frustrated playing for us?

 

[Tony Harrison]

Dimma just checking the stats first....

Or he's retired and giving a no show.

Dare to dream.

Dimma has done a runner and Gale will do the presser

 

[thefendoff]

"a credit to north, they didnt let us play our brand of footy"
"if you look at the stats we won a lot of key areas which is a positive for us"

just wait for it, all of dimmas favourite lines will be out in force today!
Its so hard to watch the way we play at the moment.
another line in the sand game another failure from the RFC what a surprise.
we are gonna get torn a new one by the media this week hahaha
