Autopsy Round 24, 2023: Brisbane v St.Kilda

[EddieMurphy]

Just on the game in the OP, it's absolutely the kind of game we need to be winning to take the next step. Interstate genuine good team with plenty to play for.

The performance and the result were good, but to win premierships these are the kind of games we need to win.

And Mitch has the standard skill set for a contested beast - improve his kicking and he becomes top shelf.

We are at least 2 years off making even a PF.

 

[Remboy]

We are at least 2 years off making even a PF.

Or maybe four weeks.

 

[FQFjt]

We are at least 2 years off making even a PF.

Disagree. It is achievable next year, and with a bit of luck could honestly sneak into one this year.

's excellent performance out of the picture, and they still beat us on clearances.
Centre clearances we were not so bad.

Contested possessions.

EFA.

 

[moirae42]

I'm writing off this game.
Too many players off their game.

Will be better when we are up there again in four weeks.

 

[EddieMurphy]

EFA.

No way, dare to dream though.

How? Our midfield is way too weak. We can't rely on losing the midfield and winning the ball in the backline against top 4 teams.

Yep and if the administration have this same view of the list (that we can make a PF next year), then we’ll waste even more time topping up. And then repeat the cycle.

 

[Cairnsman]

Mate - just give it a rest - your point of view on Sharman is crystal clear as it has been for months - we all get it - interested on your views on other players and issues - but Sharman - dead horse!

try not to get too wrapped around the axle on it, I'm just having a bit of fun, clearly love any player that pulls on the RW&B jumper.

glad you asked about my views on other players, if Jack Hayes can get going in the final we might win, his prototype would add a very important ingredient, it's a matter if he can find form quickly but is built for finals.

Steele and Crouch were not doing much against Brisbane.
If both of them can somehow play to their best , we are way way way way better than we were on Saturday.

Agree - the beauty is I think this lad & his best mate Windy really want to be better - he will do the work!

 

[The Punter]

No, its true. We win the next two games and we're in a preliminary final. It's science.

Agree - the beauty is I think this lad & his best mate Windy really want to be better - he will do the work!

I agree - no doubt that Windy and Mitch will do the work required. Throw in Phillipou and one can get excited not just by the talent, but the work ethic.

Because we now have all our key forwards fit I’d like to see RTB mix it up a lot more in the guts, that’s why because of his exuberance I wouldn’t mind seeing Caminiti having a run through there. In his draft year this Draft Centrals comment stood out.

“Caminiti's clean hands extend further than his marking too. With good movement for his size, the 196cm talent is comfortable on the ball and looks to move it on quickly to runners passing by. He is able to contribute at ground level with composure and often proves quite unselfish inside 50, creating opportunities for others by hand and foot”

There was a crazy stat I saw on On the Couch or Daniel Hoyne's segment, can't remember exactly what it was. But it was essentially to do with nullifying Neale's influence at stoppage.
When he was kept quiet, the Lions winning record dropped significantly.

With that in mind i was surprised we didn't put Windy on him again after playing so well on him last year.

I know we had a home final up for grabs (got it anyway), but with the chance we could play them again, perhaps Ross wanted to keep a club in the bag.

Said the same thing before the match. When he runs free they win.

anyone want to chat about the elephant in the room.

Sure, why not.
Someone's gotta kick it off...
Look what you have is an infatuation with a Saints listed player.

Confusing feelings can get the best of them. No shame in his little infatuation. Probably gets erect nipples in his three-pane satin shirt and gets quite embarrassed out in public. FNQ folks throw people to the crocs for less obvious excitement.

Had to think when I might of said that and it was a whole two days ago, surely there are other enclaves on the internet you can stalk
