Autopsy Round 2 = St Kilda 94-79 Collingwood

[PonsfordMagpie]

Our season is almost over before it started. If we do anything of note in 2024, we’ll be playing catch up for the rest of the year.

The playing group looks cooked for the most part. Maybe our older age profile is finally catching up with us and last year was the ‘last hurrah’ so to speak.

I don’t like to go on about umpiring too much, but that was a disgusting what we witnessed this evening.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Well that was a shite show

[hellfire]

Who ******* cares.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

Okay now I’m worried. That’s 3 bad loses with minimal fight. Dreadful

 

[Scud2]

* ******* football

 

[Chrispiesssss]

The umpires were bad, but we were worse. Serious issues at the club.

How does a former player get to umpire games with his former team involved. He favoured the Saints all night, and it was obvious.
Surely the club asks the question to the AFL. That was as close to rigged as possible...

St Kilda won and ima let you finish, but that umpiring was one of the worst of all time! Of all time!

We played s**t though. Terrible decision making. No hunger. Lack of fitness. Atrocious really!

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

First time since 1999 we start the season 0-3

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Thankful for the last two seasons, but geesh some of these bulls need to be put out to pasture.

WHE, Johnson, Mitchell, Sidebottom, Markov, Cox, Howe, Mihocek.

A lot of deadweight on that list.

 

[cityslick1]

Putrid again. I dont mind it though. Not going to win the flag with Dad's army. Might as well get the draft picks... Thank Derek for his service, and actually pick a key forward, then recruit hard.

Out: Mitchell, Sidey, Markov
In: Macrae, Noble, Allen, Krueger

 

[TW Sherrin]

Dominated hit out and lost clearances.

If Mitchell can't win it he has no place in the side. He has one job.

 

[Hazz]

Any chance of someone in the coaching or leadership group raising their voice a little to entice others to pull their heads out of their arses?

 

[Deathray]

Write the season off. Offer Pendles and Sidey support/coaching positions, play the kids and draft a key position forward.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Play the youth, bring J Noble asap. We need to see who can take us forward. This group has a serious premiership hangover. Lazy, showtime bullshit play. Naicos, Cameron and Maynard are the only ones playing well

 

[Soups]

Umpiring or not we were ******* s**t tonight.

 

[Pera]

We peaked, we conquered, we've aged.

Certain players look like they've aged 5 years over 6 months. Unfortunately it happens. Thankfully it's happened when the peak was a flag.

Mix in some young talent as the year goes on so maybe we can do a mini rebuild on the fly.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

The issue is that only Nick has brought similar sorta output to 2023.

You can’t name another player who has been in the same form as 2023.

 

[Soups]

Write the season off. Offer Pendles and Sidey support/coaching positions, play the kids and draft a key position forward.

Draft with what

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

I love Thursday games, their a great initiative.
Rather lose on a Sunday arvo.
Football effed for the rest of the weekend…

Fin as sub was an atrocious decision

 

[peter9789]

We look under done and that impacts the skills and connection under pressure- we are so far off it at the moment season will be done before we get going.

Possibly the poorest umpiring of an afl game I’ve seen in years- it was so blatant. Incredible the lob sided free kick count.

Kudos to young Reef McInnes- deserves to get a run of games. Mccrae also needs to start games

Off to Brisbane now for another loss

Not activating the sub until 3 quarter time is criminal. Not to mention having Macrae as the sub in the first place.

I would be surprised if Mitchell, Cox and Sidebottom were allowed to continue in 2025.. .
