Autopsy Best and worst vs Sydney round 5, changes for Melbourne Anzac Day eve

[tugga]

Have at it beautiful people.

 

[prodigy]

Worst performance for 5+ years.

 

[Tenacious T]

Actually feel dumber for having watched us…..

 

[kozi]

 

[Wallaby]

That was just a series of pratfalls from go to whoa.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

It's embarrassing what these flogs are dishing up.
At this point Hopper and Taranto would be having buyers regret.
As bad as Taranto has been they others are before him

 

[tigersab]

Can’t even choose one let alone five. Absolute turd dribbles they dished up. Garbage

 

[sanaya]

can only play for half a quarter, but what a great half of a quarter we do play! credit to dimma

 

[BF Tiger]

Samson dropping marks.
Balta having brainfarts.
Bolton’s flashiness not being that flash.
No system working the ball out of defence.
Undisciplined.
Skill errors.

 

[59Stanley]

Wow they was collectively and individually one of the worst, most insipid, unskilled and gutless performances I can recall witnessing.
Absolutely atrocious RFC shame on you

 

[Groupie_]

120 point loss next week

 

[Hans Klopek]

We are worse-placed for the future now than during the Terry Wallace era. Time to fire up the 2017/19/20 blu rays!

 

[juss]

Worst I've felt as a supporter in years.
s**t coaching, needs to go.
Injuries galore.
Traded our picks for 2 average footballers who can't kick.
Terrible skills.
No gameplan.
Too many old cooked players.
17 games to go of this s**t.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Only one vote?

bests Jack, Marlion, Dan Rioli,

worst everyone else, particulary Grimes Balta vlastuin

 

[tigersab]

 

[SportsCentre]

We're in that awkward early transition phase.
This year is showing signs that a handful of our premiership era stars have gone on too long but there is a vacuum between those guys and the next generation, there's no middle tier at the moment.

Our discipline on field, and how we really do switch off and do silly thing, it does at least raise the question, has Hardwick lost the group? Is it time to plan the next era, which is beyond Hardwick? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. There's a small hint of Sheedy's last years at Essendon in the air here. Players look disinterested, and/or lost.

 

[DustinsGuns]

Jack our best player by a mile after all these years and people writing him off

 

[prodigy]

The poll being where we can only select one player for best on is apt.

 

[TiggerMan22]

We are worse-placed for the future now than during the Terry Wallace era.

I mean yeh. We were at the bottom of the ladder for decades getting top picks every year.

When you're at the top you don't get the draft picks and you fall back down. Kinda how it does.

 

[Swanks McSwankserton]

I'm actually still bullish. That last quarter wasn't indicative of the game, Sydney started taking pot shot risks, it payed off and then they had their tails up / we gave up and the margin blew out.
Those young guys are gonna be better off with more gametime in them, they aren't gonna keep making all those dumb d50 turnovers, and that's the game right there, even considering how well Papley played.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Ah well, we got 3 flags in 4 years but it's over.

 

[tony__montana]

Too many players too comfortable, the lack of repeat efforts tonight was embarrassingly evident. Vlastuin was the worst culprit in a long line of senior
Players. The lack of discipline was appalling

 

[Daffytrain]

We've got solid proof now that we're now just a very, very average football side. I really enjoyed our dominant era as we all did, so maybe we're spoilt, but I do think it also makes it harder to stomach bad performances like this season has thrown up.

The alternate is to be an Essendon, Carlton or others and go back to being ordinary for a long long long time. I know I don't want that.

I think we need to stay the course with the kids, feel the short term pain and retire our legends, and load up again for another tilt in 3 years or so.

 

[Groupie_]

trade out tarranto and hopper for the best we can get

get a new coach that wants to do a proper rebuild (dimma said the day we need a rebuild is the day he will give it away)

retire chimp, jack , grimes and dusty

remove the stupid double captaincy bullshite... whos farreken idea was that

 

[DustinsGuns]

Time to start putting through lines in the second generation and start testing the third.

Miller and Ralph-Smith are hot trash and should be nowhere near this team.

Cumbo and Young will make it.
