Autopsy Well beaten v swamsn

[Waynesworld]

They were down but we did lift our intensity in parts. It's just that Sydney were classier, stronger, more experienced, more everything.

The first quarter was a huge missed opportunity to put scoreboard pressure on them. Sydney were not switched on at the start.

And those 2 missed goals at the start of the second by Larkey.

A genuinely good team would've got 3 or 4 goals ahead and made Sydney panicky.

We were chasing all day today. Could not break the defensive accountability.

 

[Waynesworld]

More with ball in hand.

Yeah but everyone struggled to create with ball in hand on such a shit ground, plus it always looked like Sydney had 4 players to our 1 at every contest

 

[bennymate]

Anyone else not as flat after that result? I don't really care, Sydney were always going to bounce back on their home deck, by a big margin. We played shit, eh it happens.

 

[Flawed Genius]

We got absolutely demolished at clearance, Xerri got destroyed by Grundy, every single ball bounced their way and they got away with throwing it about fourteen times

17th vs 1st. A cooked Wardlaw, LDU being held at every single centre bounce, Sheezel well held and nothing of note from Powell or Simpkin. Staggering we couldn't find a place for Phillips in the side when Seeing Impaired Frederick could have predicted Gulden having 40 and Warner having 30 & two goals. Sure am glad we played Curtis Taylor

in his spot.

Sydney are a great side that are immeasurably benefited by playing on a ground designed by Derek Zoolander. The real SCG should be at least four times that size.

 

[amaz199]

Sheezel, Wardlaw and LDU all struggled.

If our best players are struggling then it's always a tough day.

 

[Horizons_00]

9 blokes had laid a tackle by half time. 9.

You aren't beating anyone with that level of effort.

Neither did Sydney though

Sydney had 51 total tackles to 45

 

[Dan]

Not good.

Gone backwards little bit but it’s one game against the best team this year.

 

[tazaa]

Lost this at selection.

Phillips had to play and tag Warner.
Why Shiels didn’t play on Gulden is beyond me.
McDonald can’t kick so make him smother Papley.

As for the gameplan the short kick chip possession style has undone the Swans so what does the brain up in the box do? Doesn’t bring back Fisher.

Wake the f*** up Clarko
Lost this before the ball was bounced.

 

[muttley45]

45 tackles is about 1/2 what was needed, the difference in skill levels was stark, and frankly embarassing, and to play the slow, mark and chip kick game was a big no no. They say you either win or learn, and we learnt plenty today.

Had that feeling going into the second half.

It was just a really bad day made more apparent by the fact our best players were completely overwhelmed.

 

[Caracas]

Shout out to Comben. Early in the season, he was the person I least wanted to make a short kick pass. Now, he’s nearly our safest bet!

 

[speedy]

****ing pathetic. I thought we were done with these smashings.

 

[Spud11]

They are much better this year, playing at the SCG. It’s not a 1:1 comparison.

And it never will be while we continue accepting this sh!t.

We’ll sit here and stroke our beards and fawn over how much Sydney have improved and how there’s nothing we can do about that. Mitchell and his Hawks have proven that they can take it up to anyone. Why are we so mediocre and poor with our expectations?

 

[Joshen]

Can we stop with the Logan McDonald bagging on this board. It is embarrassing.

 

[Passmore]

That was a bit shit after a solid 5 weeks. Bit of a reality check for all of us.

Pretty much.

They are an incredibly powerful side. 3 losses with a combined margin of 8 points.

Hate to say but the flag is theirs. People are sleeping on how dominant they have been.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

We’ve had a few weeks of being very competitive against a lowly peer and a few mid-table teams. It’s very much better than we’d got used to but Sydney at the SCG this year is another level and today - possibly for the time being - we don’t have the gears to step up to that.

We Know Where We Are As A Footy Club(TM). Disappointing day but doesn’t change how much better I’m feeling about the future.

 

[archereleven]

Firstly; we have to stop creating autopsy threads before the game is over. It's annoying.

Secondly; every single player was poor today. Even our stars like Sheezel and Xerri.

Thirdly; I said it several times in the game-day thread, but dropping Will Phillips for this game was beyond stupid.

LDU was far from poor. He was a lone hand in the guts all day, used the ball well and laid 7 tackles, and had 34 PAs.

The rest of the midfield was ****ing puss.

Not surprised just disappointed.

As long as we bounce back, I can hack this. Flag favourites at home, coming off two narrow losses - was always going to be risky.

Agree with all of this plus their forwards seemed to give them marking options all day compared to ours who gave us literally nil. We desperately need a tall fwd who can take a pack mark.

Has to be questioned and held to account: any peanut can sit in a box getting paid a million dollars to watch a bunch of 1st-round picks show their stuff. Even if you do nothing, occasionally they’ll win.

Sometimes you need to actually COACH.

Hawks lost to Sydney this year - 42 to 118.

Bit of a nothing game and hard to take anything away from it when the whole team were so flat.

 

[Grogg]

Didn’t get to watch any of it. Geez ugly scoreline. Any quarters /parts worth watching on the replay?

No, save yourself the trouble.

To a man we were flat as a tack and it shows in the performance.
