Autopsy Rd 2 Blues up for the fight but still lose to Port by 16 points

[Doro]

Pleased and disappointed. We are thereabouts but need to find the extra. Liking Gov in the big moments. LJ was good, SPS is beginning to split it open. Go again next week, this sides alright.

harry's hands........

Are joined to some guns
Soon will be bazookas

 

[JEZZAS BLUES]

Liked the effort today and all you can do is do your best they tried hard i have no issue with the effort, i think people should perhaps re-visit their memory when putting criticism on Murphy he took a heavy knock and managed to give his all...
Remembering to 2017 a team with Gibbs and Docherty playing was beaten senseless in Adelaide by 90 points against Port last time we played them there...

 

[Dadda Dave]

His opponent totally dominated the game. Phillips gets absolutely monstered where it counts, the occasional contribution around the ground shouldn't disguise that fact.

We have anyone to replace him until Kreuze is ready..

 

[FRUMPY]

It was a good effort but need to start winning games

Yeah shitting myself we will be 0-5 and massive pressure. Just need the first win to get going I reckon.

That attempt at a left foot kick going forward in the 3rd nailed it for me.

You know that was Murphy right?

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Let's be honest though. Only there because of an injury. Got beat but did some nice things

Is Lobbe also injured? Because if not I have no idea why Phillips is getting picked ahead of him.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Fasolo did something at the end that we really need. A confident no nonsense snap at goal and no mistake. He will ice some goals we always miss. We need that bad. And he actually started to work into it in the last quarter coming from well back in fitness.

 

[NumberEight]

I dont want Murph to be the whipping boy...but my lord he chopped it today. Hurt us at key moments with little to no pressure on him.

Harry, excellent. Effort good.

Lapses and 2nd quarter, horrendous.

I thought it was #29

 

[RAPPA]

Phillips is a hard worker but against premier mobile ruckmen he gets absolutely trounced. Nankervis pantsed him last week and he’s not that good. Grundy and Gawn will gets 3 votes easily against Phillips

 

[Opine]

Then I’m watching a different game.

Robbo, I went into this game with a negative opinion as to Polson's selection. His zero tackles at end of 1st annoyed me. His missed goal in 2nd infuriated me.

 

[gardiner stand]

Nah. He was fine - his aggression and movement down back is what we need.he can have the odd brain fade but to single out one free kick in a wet game is reaching.

Not pinpointing the free kick MIT some players just can’t defend. It was like when Pagan put Fev back for sone education, had no idea. It’s just the way it is with some players. I watched him live v Hawthorn , Essendon and Richmond and what I see is a player who’s lost in defence. If that’s what he’s earmarked for then put him in the twos and see if he can step up.

 

[95blues]

At first i thought it was Polson too. But sadly no.

Assuming we are thinking about the same kick that went maybe 10 metres forwards but 30 to the left and straight to Port.

 

[Macca43]

kennedy and jsos says hello

Kennedyin for Fasolo? JSOS for Charlie?

 

[Dadda Dave]

Phillips tried his guts out
Weitering, Mcgovern, Polson, Dow, Gartlett, Mackay all good but
Jones is uncoachable. He is as good as we got but not the future Why? Fullbacks can not lose their feet 12 times a game
Plowman lacks intensity. Put the marker through him
Fasolo- Not a long term prospect. 2s for him. He is making a laughing stock out of Andrew Russel
Must not bring charlie back until he is 100%
Coaches must take responsibility for skill errors and body positioning. We played good wet weather footy

Not enough love for Plow today ..wasn't the worst..

 

[TheCoach16]

hahaha, hilarious! Round 2 and you want one of our best players gone. He will turn it around, nothing surer. Is past his prime, but is not a liability.

In what way is he one of best players?
Is it his pace? His size? His strength over the ball? His disposal?
Mate, I’m not about potting players. Anyone who’s played one game of AFL footy has played one more game than I ever will.
But Murph is done. He adds no value to this side. None. I admire your loyalty, l have my favourites too. But Murph’s time is up.

 

[HBF]

Really need Kreuzer back. Phillips was simply outclassed by Ryder and Lycett.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Must check the replay. From the stand I thought it was Poulson. If it was Murphy then that's worse.

 

[FRUMPY]

Weitering- People always mention how big guys arms are in pre-season. But really it's about the thighs,legs. Look how more confident he is now he has a seasoned body. So much harder to move and he has always been in the right spots.

I understand your “loyalty”, juzz. But Murph is done. He’s cooked. Has not a single weapon left. He needs to go, and he needs to go now.

I admire him. And yes, he has runs on the board. But he’s now a liability. Must go.

I agree in part Coach, Bolts will back him in to respond next week, but if he doesn't, the pressure on Bolts to make the tough call will mount each week that passes and he doesn't respond, he looked old and slow today, I've been a huge fan of Murphy, but I certainly raised an eyebrow or two tonight.

I'm 80% certain... but ive been wrong at least 3 times before.

 

[Arr0w]

Arrow, I have no concrete agenda in regard to Folsom; 3 or so weeks ago I was defending him. I call it as i see it. AFAIC he just isn't up-to it.

Folsom? Speaks volumes

We got spanked at Stoppages, Clearances, Inside50's, I guess that is Polson's too. You have only targetted one player in this lose, also speaks volumes

Ed 11 touches, Fasolo 9, Setterfiled 12, Garlett 13

You are embarrassing yourself

 

[Michael Jezz]

Phillips was destroyed by Lycett.

Jones and Plowman two of our best.

Try again.

Delusional. Watch the tape on Jones and Plowman.
I said Phillips tried his guts out. Big ask. I wonder what the taps to advantage stats were and his possession count

 

[Jeffy38!]

Can’t play four qtrs and we are a very small team around the ball apart from Cripps... there will be honourable losses aplenty this year

Yeah there's no grunt, Kennedy and setterfield need to step up.
