Autopsy Round 9, 2023: Adelaide v St.Kilda *SINCLAIR 150TH*

[Max the great]

We played about a quarter and a half of good effort football, but our delivery inside 50 still needs work and our forward line movement still needs work. I wonder if we can maintain the effort? Remembering some early games and the effort and running of guys like Seb Ross, Mason Wood

and Dan Butler, it was manic pressure and hard, constant running. I don't know if we've been semi-figured out or what, but we don't look the same. Some of those guys are still bringing that pressure and run in patches, but it's not consistent like it was.

I'd like to see King and Windhager in next weekend, Membrey obviously for King due to concussion and Windy for whoever was getting decent midfield minutes but had low GPS and sprint numbers.

He can only replace one of the joggers/ spectators.

If it was just a loss then this would be spot on. But unfortunately it was one of the most gutless pathetic performances many of us have seen for years. Not acceptable.

No one said it's acceptable. You move on. Analyse. Make changes. Get up for next week.

Just like Geelong will after their bad loss to Richmond.

 

[my name was taken]

can we have Goddard sit on the bench during the game, we need more finger pointing

 

[BrutThough]

That was terrible.

Not surprised Adelaide kicked a big score but the lack of overall competitiveness from the first bounce was awful.

Will be a lot of nervous players at selection this week. Could make 4-6 changes based on today.

 

[BigPowerForward]

It's only Sunday but might as well chuck Ross, Pattons and Butlers Sandy jumpers in the wash now. Get them ready nice and early for next weekend.

Seb Ross was 5th for possessions for the Saints. Plenty worse than him

You are missing my point. But oh well.
When I get frustrated with this club now I just think about Michito Owens and I'm ok again.

Yeah he’s in the midfield. But all he does is bomb it and turn it over

 

[Joffaboy]

Out: Butler, Ross, Byrnes, Paton
In: Billings, Windhager, King, Bytel.

Bytel needs a run not in and out of the team. Byrne needs a rest.

Agreed. Thought that since the Collingwood match that opposition teams have been able to come into our game with a plan to counter us.

We don't seem to have a counter to this. We've lucked out in the last month beating North and the Blues but we were beaten on our own deck by Port and we've been insipid against the Crows.

Had it been anyone other than North, we'd be talking about a 3 loss streak. So questions need to be asked of the playing group and the coaching group.

And it isn't our lesser stars it's the more high profile ones not stepping up to the plate. Ross, Steele, Hill. These guys are meant to be the experienced leaders and yet kids like Owens are showing more at present.

Hard to remember a Ross Lyon coached side dish that sort of performance up. They were saying 62 points is our worst loss under Lyon, if not for a late goal or two we would've eclipsed it. Think we are in a bit of strife.

We going to do this again? Stat sheet has numbers so he was OK? He was absolutely deplorable.

Boys looked off.

I blame the Adelaide tap water.

 

[Veer Right]

Far from being alone but i would very much like to see Howard dropped. Cordy can take his position. See if he can do better.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Taking the spot of Windhager, which is a waste in his development imo.

 

[westernsainter]

Think our early season form was maybe just form. The win against Carlton looks far less impressive too when you consider what they've served up since. Would like to see Windhager come in next week, maybe Billings too. Still think Pou could use a rest, hasn't been anywhere near as impactful the last couple weeks. Crows away is going to be a pretty brutal fixture this year so I'm not gonna melt over this one. This was never going to be our year, we're still building.

Webster needs to come in too.

Greene will be back for GWS.

drop Ross and make a statement

 

[saintsrfreak]

Spaghetti arms ectomorph Howard needs to get on the all snag diet and stop getting pushed around like a child

He's been pretty good all year.
I've never been his biggest fan but I would not drop him after today's game

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Would you rather win by 150 vs hawks OR
Make a big statement drop the senior boys and play Owens windy philippou as our midfield and see if they do better? Let the senior mids learn how shit it is to play at sandy

Forgot Webster. Yes correct.

The trouble is they wont be nervous as we don't have many at Sandy that are really putting any pressure on them
