Autopsy still in it at half time 2 weeks running v Poortaloos,

[koshari]

Improvement from when? Round one? Last year? Specifically what areas do you see our improvement?

Some players have improved, many have gone backwards. Our on-field leadership has declined.

thats with the individuals,

 

[Possession]

But what happens then?

We lose by 4 goals instead of 10 goals?

It’s becoming tiresome to listen to the same s**t while anyone with two eyes can see there are a lot of our players that pick and choose when to compete.

50-100 games doesn’t fix that. It’s basic 101 s**t. Effort, effort and more effort, that the only way the worm turns.

For sure, but we can't plumb those plodders until we have the opportunity to replace them with more polished players. Fight out the rest of the season, play with the toys we have, then draft and trade.

 

[koshari]

It’s all good mate, we’ll get there eventually because the coach is saying it enough to come true.

Like Dorothy and her contention that there’s no place like home.

love to hear of this utopian match plan you speak of there lmac magically can hit a target 40m away. fact is even a matchplan like kick to kick would have us falling down with the cattle we have,

 

[Limerick]

Look I’m not having a go here but if we don’t play a core group of spuds, it will be bigger beltings in the second half of the year

The spuds are preventing 100 point weekly blow outs

Believe it or not

Understand, hoping with K Dawson and B George in next game we will be a little more competitive.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Delusional if anyone thinks we were in it at half time.

Even a minute in we aren’t in it.

 

[Hopper10]

Just a series of bad choices over 10 years…but sheesh I’m coming up 56 in August and this is the pits of my living memory

I’m 1 yr your senior Gaso, worst period of my footy life. So off the pace , can’t believe a team in 2024 can be so bad.

Just a series of bad choices over 10 years…but sheesh I’m coming up 56 in August and this is the pits of my living memory

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I am over talking about the negatives, so here are some positives:

• Tucker having a good fortnight. HB seems his go.
• Comben the defender can be AA one day.
• Wardlaw is 1-2 preseasons away from dominating the league.
• Dawson showed signs. Still only 18.
• We live rent free in KK’s head.

That was quicker than I thought.

 

[Spud11]

They keep talking up “the future” like everything will just magically happen for us. Serious question though - what kids are jumping on North at the moment, or have for the past 3 years? What about that particular future?
The rusted-ons are fine. We’ve got glory days and hope. What have young and/or prospective fans got at this point except a mediocre organisation that makes excuses for itself being poor?

 

[CURVE]

Even a minute in we aren’t in it.

We were in front at the 28-minute mark, so you can't say we were never in it.

• We live rent free in KK’s head.

That was quicker than I thought.

Good shout on W. Dawson. Second game, the greenest of shoots.

 

[WesternRoo]

Strength and conditioning department (if such one exists) needs a complete overhaul. As a team we are able to play about 20 minutes of high-pressure football at the beginning of games with some offensive run & carry, and then we just flame out. By the 2nd quarter we lose our offensive run and are able to just hold on defensively. Third quarter rolls around and we are out on our feet, and the opposition put us to the sword. Our fitness levels are so far off the average team, let alone the top echelon. Until this changes then it won't matter how many young jets we are able to draft, we will continue to be a bottom two team.

Exactly.

Just take a look at Ginbey and Reid at West Coast compared to Wardlaw.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

It’s called training.

You practice your skills until you become competent.

It’s clear that we simply don’t do that.

 

[glenn2479]

Groundhog Day/week.

Start ok give up a couple of late ones, 2nd qtr compete ok and give up a late one.
Take the 3rd qtr off.

4th qtr watch the opposition and us go through the motions because the game is completely shot to bits.

Yep, copy and paste into the autopsy thread for the next 12 rounds

Believe it or not

Yes but they're killing our ball movement and starving the forwards.
Granted we dont have the players ready to improve the scoreboard and nothing will change bringing in more fringe players.

 

[ohmygewd]

Mate, usually positive about this team when other supporter's aren't by my god, can this coaching team come up with a more defensive plan that this team zoning, sagging off the mark to protect god knows what space they are defending!!

Forget trying to find some magical KPD or KPF how about simple lock down defensive plan when the ball gets turned over because at the moment, these kids just run around, at times, in pairs not knowing who and what they are suppose to defend.

Dawson played on Marshall.

 

[DocSholl]

Dawson played on Marshall.

Yeah was going to say. Corr shut down Finlayson.

 

[Wild Bill]

Exactly.

Just take a look at Ginbey and Reid at West Coast compared to Wardlaw.

They were much much bigger than George in their draft year.

Wardlaw is beating Gibney in nearly every stat and having a better season.

 

[ansonholt]

Humiliating to watch the Opposition mock us today…look at JHF at 11.22 in the 3rd quarter laughing at how garbage we are.

I don't care one iota what he thinks of us or says about us. How many top ten picks IN THE HISTORY OF THE DRAFT have abandoned the club that drafted them after ONE season??

He can mock us all he likes. He will never have my respect, no matter what he does with his career from here. I suspect most of the football world, except for fans of his present football club, feel similarly.

He deserted us. He hardly tried in his only season. He can go **** himself.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Yeah was going to say. Corr shut down Finlayson.

Yeah, Clarko spoke about Dawson in his presser and how even though Marshall got some goals he was happy with the way Dawson competed in the contest against him.

 

[R00StaR]

3 of them aren’t on our list and I’m sick of hearing about them.

Time to move on.

Yeah but when you keep seeing our mids smashed, our lack of run and spread then people will continue to think what might've been. If not for JHF being a mummies boy, TT having mother issues and a useless win against GC who tanked. LDU wasn't even in that group.

 

[R00StaR]

Idk what to do re watching anymore

Week in week out for 2 years of hoping; probably longer but this season is horrific. Absolutely zero chance of winning week in and week out

I can’t even read the farce of the Preview Thread and the arguments of who is In and who is Out when it’s peripheral players that are pretty much not that good

It used to be such a huge part of my winter existence following this game

But this is absolutely the pits, football Hell.

Embarrassing to mention you follow them weekly.

Humiliating to watch the Opposition mock us today…look at JHF at 11.22 in the 3rd quarter laughing at how garbage we are.

I can remember as a kid being shattered leaving the 78 GF and Mum saying you know Dad has seen a lot worse.

Nearly 50 years on for the life of me i cannot believe I am seeing this right before my eyes; the worst run in our history

That should burn in the souls of every player today. NEVER AGAIN.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Dawson played on Marshall.

I thought he and Corr rotated through on both, but fair point. Still did some good things.

 

[Epictetus]

They were much much bigger than George in their draft year.

Wardlaw is beating Gibney in nearly every stat and having a better season.

Granted.

I am sure there are things we could do better to prep them - but we have selected and brought it small framed players. We just have. This is fact. And then you watch them get ****ing monstered regularly and we all blame the players or blame the fitness stuff.

Doesn't wash.

 

[travelli]

Chicken littles everywhere. We’re improving. I get frustrated too believe me but if you can’t see the improvement you’re a football illiterate.

That's why I think they are saying that the mood in the club is positive.

There are moments where the midfield is clicking and we look great. There is a huge problem converting in the forward line, but when that comes together I think wins will come quickly.
