Autopsy Round 9 vs West Coast @ OPTUS - 12/05/23 - 8:40pm

[Billy ray]

yeh im nervous and will be until 3rd qtr - if by that time we havent put some decent scoreboard pressure on, we will lose

 

[Supersuns]

Feels like a massive trap game. Coming off a really good game we should of won, media universally backing us to win, other team completely out of form, prime time game. All the makings of a disappointment.
A thumping win would show genuine growth in the group imo. We never get to destroy teams.

 

[kreglze]

A big win should be the pass mark for this, if we just scrape over the line it will have the club feeling very nervous heading into the QClash.

 

[Southern Sun]

With the quality we have missing I'll take any win. Get a few back next week and raise the expectations.

An "honorable loss" followed by a disgraceful follow up performance the next week seems to be ingrained in the Club's DNA
Hopefully we can see evidence of gene therapy leading to a new team DNA on show tonight

A very strong win will start to cement belief in a often burnt fan base, cmon boys time to come of age

Burgess must be scratching his head.

Day is the most cooked AFL player l think l've ever seen. Absolutely ridiculous selection it was a perfect time to play that kid McLaughlin.
Really stupid.

Would rather Burgess personally but would have preferred mclaughlin.

Just cannot fathom in any way how this is the right choice.

 

[Southern Sun]

Burgess way ahead of mclaughlin, would have gone with Burgess myself and sexton before Ace. Glad we have depth to fall back on, some clubs would love those guys as reserves players.

Least if this game goes sideways I have the new Zelda game to move onto.

I'm old enough to go straight to bed at any time if it goes sideways.
Having said that I'm expecting a late night

Sam Day is a closer player to Levi than either of those 2.

If King goes down fair enough play McLaughin.

If Lukosius or Chol goes down fair enough play Burgess

Levi isn't used as a traditional lead up tall forward, he's rarely targeted inside 50, he's used to bring the ball to ground. He uses his size to bash and crash packs which is exactly what Sam Day does.

The only thing I can think of is they're trying to gift a foundation player their 150 games before he retires. Other than that selecting Day makes no sense.

Tbh, if they think they need another big body to replace Levi and compete up forward it says more about Chol than Day.
On the verge of getting dropped.
Based on performances this year, that is who Burgess should replace.

I think that’s the idea of Sam Day but I’ve sure as hell never seen him do that in 150 games of AFL football.

Days whole career was built off his no longer available athleticism. He is a slow lead up marking player. Can't believe we brought him in

At least Burgo takes contested marks.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Any chance Faulkhead the sub?
Got to make calls on some of these guys.

A game we should win. A big oval suits his skill set.

Not the worst time to give him a crack

Rather Sexton personally. He is the ultimate sub.

Exactly he's nothing like Casbolt. I've never seen Day crash anything.
Sorry but he's been a massive bust for such a high draft pick.

I take my hat off to anybody who foresaw tonight's lineup a week ago, let alone in the preseason.

Day in. Tsitas sub. Dew back to thinking he knows better than everyone after 2 wins and a close loss while picking relatively normal squads?
