Autopsy Rd 21 - Blues go home at half time. Get blitzed in the second half

[HBF]

And our 28+ year olds include Rowe and Thomas.

Both of them were pretty good today.

 

[passmark]

Lack of intensity from Freo to half time was very noticeable.

3rd quarter they just dialled it up but we really helped with our usual dumb shit.

No point putting players under microscope we know who's who .

One thing though. SPS had at least two opportunities to run easily towards our goal with NOBODY in front of him and both times he turned around and ran back into trouble.

Thought his endeavour was good but we're getting about 75% of what he could do .

Sadly, at 31 years of age, his best football is behind him.

He has suffered a number of collision injuries & when you add in his issues with his foot/ankle in recent years, his body is not capable of doing what he would like it to do. He still has a contribution to make at AFL level, but you won't see him doing the quality stuff he used to do at his best & if still playing at 34, won't be able to do what Simmo still does.

Didn’t realise he was 31. Bloody hell. Feels like yesterday he was drafted.

 

[HBF]

Just positives I’ll talk about.

Roughy and Buddy sorry Harry and Charlie starting to work well together.Sps another good game.Dow has that something special.Byrne improving provides good run and Lobbe did ok as well.

Harry and Charlie could be something pretty special for years to come.

Mathematically we can win the premiership next year

Yes we can, but logic says we won't.

Today was a disaster given the opposition.
It doesn't matter if you add 2 "A" graders while there are 11 players who don't lay a tackle in a half of football, a side that gets pushed off the ball and backmen like Silvagni and Marchbank who can not stand firm in an aerial contest and.... Read my lips or my post Polson has had his run. He is miles off Afl.

To be fair to them Jsos is not a defender and Marchbank is an intercept player however with all the backline being injured they are playing roles that are foreign to them.

 

[Jabba73]

Yes we can, but logic says we won't.

Logic has never been a prerequisite for anything on BF

 

[Benaly28]

Oh yes.

 

[katmanblue]

Bolton needs to have an angry presser attacking that lack of effort in the 3rd that was far from acceptable.

We need so much more quality injectee into this side asap.

We dont want anyone from *

Was at the game and one thing I saw from the forward pocket that stood out when Freo had a mark 60m out and kicking inside was SPS's real tenacity to cover the space and direct others too. Little thing but said a lot to me about where he wants to be within the playing group.

Also felt playing Silvagni back was a learning curve move and I wouldnt take too much from us losing 2nd half I think some things were tried and losing only helps our chances for a priority pick

**** that!!! Mathematically we can win the next three.

2 games to go. Surely we can play another kid or 2. Who gives a shit, we are going to lose anyway. Rather a Schumacher and tdk to get a game under their belt than graham/kerridge playing.

And before someone mentions they are not similar types, they brought Graham in for kruezer.

Just don't get the hate on here for Kerridge and, yes, some of his disposals make me cringe but has plenty of mates in our team. The bloke had 29 possessions at 69% and that's a long way more valuable IMO than someone who has 9 at 95%. He also had those in 76% of game time.

A long way from the worst player on our list.

Polson should consider cutting his hair shorter...he needs all his focus on the game

But doesn't that mean he won't be able to push (or is it pull) those marble pillars down?

 

[MileHigh]

Also Nick Graham hasnt got the skills to cut it. Sad to say and havent watched his vfl performances and know he does well there but hes just not good enough at afl level. I hoped he would take an opportunity somewhere to step up but just doesnt have it.

Now your getting all mathematical on me too, makes sense tho.

Yeah I’d keep him for depth. Think some of his turnovers really stand out because of the way the team is playing.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Pretty sure Schuey debuts this week.Tdk the last game.

Serious question - have either done anything in the magoos to date or more a case of just giving them a game to test them out? I don’t follow the 2s closely enough

I don't think they really warrant a call-up yet. TDK if anyone perhaps. Not really fair on the bloke getting stomped by Dogs/Adelaide. Exciting though.

That's illogical Jabba, I think.

 

[Accidental genius]

Maybe he is waiting for it to grow long enough to tie it up in a man bun...that way he won't lose his strength and won't need to keep styling it with his fingers during game time
