Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Melbourne Rnd 6 2019 & changes for Western Bulldogs

[Stigmata]

Dimma admitted Jack wasn't exactly 100% pre game and he had tape protecting his knee.

If it's long term blame the coaches. So dumb to risk your stars.

It was the knee on the other side he hurt

To be fair, you couldn’t really expect a high quality game after a 4 day turnaround

Boys knackered and sore...particularly the older blokes

I'm glad someone said this!

Some great posiives out’ve that and individual preformances.
My favorite thing is just how it highlights the culture and the club compared to those wankars.
The effort of Ellis to lift this year after being dropped, the development of the kids. From all reports Stack was short on professionalism and fitness, hearing Bolton had hired a Personal trainer even seeing George has worked on improving his set shot routine and you could go on and on.
You put that against Melbourne, last year the playing group refused to go on that camp and this year if they’ve had operations where the recovery has drifted into the pre season thats gotta be because they wanted to go on holidays.
You have to pay the price if you want to be your best and thats part of our culture now.
Really proud of the club and all of em.

Don’t think we can continue to carry balta it’s playing one down

After a spirited first quarter from Melbourne, we completely controlled the game and got our scoreboard reward in the last quarter.
Got home and watched the replay and that confirmed that this was a much better TEAM performance than some are saying, our team defence from Tom Lynch down is bloody impressive. We did not let Melbourne breathe for three quarters and they should have been goalless.

Toast: Nick Vlaustin, what a rock, contested marks, right position every time and makes good decisions. BOG and would have been by a long way if it wasn't for this next bloke.
Toast: Bachar Houli, what a gun, not only ran and used the pill better than most Bachar was so hard at it. Come a long way from the flaky HFF we stole from the Bombers.
Toast: Dylan Grimes, stepped into Rance's shoes as the general down back and is getting better and better. Any forward would die a little inside when Grimesy comes to pick him up. Must be AA this year.
Toast: Kane Lambert, smart and unsung. Work ethic second to none.
Toast: Dion Prestia, the little engine that could. At the coalface all the time and just wills us forward.
These five got my votes but there were quite a few that were stiff.

Toast: The much maligned Brandon Ellis, working so very hard which is a credit to him and the coaches. Hitting the scoreboard and hitting the ball hard.
Toast: The much maligned George Castagna, got the reward last night for all his manic pressure, nice little goal assist to Jack as well.
Toast: Kamdyn McIntosh, the epitomy of our team defence, so many pressure acts that don't get a stat and kills the opposition momentum. WILL NOT BE DROPPED!!!!
Toast: Sydney Stack, that mark.
Toast: Sydney Stack, that bump.
Toast: Sydney Stack, that torp. Seriously, what a composed, hard and skilful steal we have here. LOL.
Toast: Toby Nankervis, such a big effort and stopped Gawn having a huge influence.
Toast: Jack Ross, surely he's played 100 games.
Toast: Liam Baker, he is a far better footballer than people thought, great user and hard worker. Good on him.

Observation: While we left at least half a dozen goals behind during the second and third quarters our forward line pressure was a huge reason Melbourne never looked like scoring.
Observation: This pressure meant that even though Brayshaw got 30 odd, he was nowhere near as effective as Ellis and Macca who didn't get as much. He just received chip kicks on the wing.
Observation: Even though he didn't get as much as he should have, Lynch never stopped trying and prevented Melbourne from getting the easy intercept mark.
Observation: Daniel Rioli looked sore to me, in hindsight perhaps Bolton should have played. I have no long term worries with Daniel, though.
Observation: Dustin Martin took a back seat tonight offensively and worked very hard for the team. That we still controlled the game was a very good sign.
Observation: Melbourne are SLOW. Oliver, Viney, Jones, Petracca all are one paced.

ROAST: Manchester ****Ing United, weak as piss you useless flogs!!

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Rioli has turned into a figjam since moving in with fev and mia **** smack check sides and taking the piss being a hog

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

I'm glad someone said this!

Me too, I'm an older bloke and i'm stuffed from watching two close matches over four days...phew!

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Both Viney and Patrica for the Dees are slow sheet trucks throw in Jones and they slow right down...
Gawn has to carry them when in reality they all should be working off his good ruck play...
Dees...they need speedy outside players to polish off that slow tough cheese mid field...that melts under pressure..

I’m a bit worried about Rioli, got a few against GWS but don’t think he’s been the same since he broke his foot

The move of shedda down back has affected our forward half greatly .

Not really.Our i50 stuff has been wasteful for years with the odd exception.

 

[Sir_Loin]

We have our game style back. Melbourne are so flakey, fragile and yet arrogant. It is a unique and deluded combination. I will say right now that Melbourne will never win a flag in my lifetime.

Our mission is to figure out how to beat Collingwood and west coast with the kick mark game. That is what the dimma should be doing over his break.

The way we beat Collingwood and West Coast is to play like we did against the Dees but sort out our forward line.

It’s actually a little embarrassing how much we dominated the game yet only won by 7 goals. I know the dees flooded their D50 but the chaos/long ball in those circumstances doesn’t work and we didn’t really adjust well enough to that.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Was trying to sum up Higgins' games the last few weeks and arrived at Conca-esque. Got his 25 odd but you hardly noticed it. Did the team things but nothing flashy. Not really sure how I sit with him at the moment.

Same here.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Whilst rucking

Marking contest in the last, he launched himself into Gawn and his knee/shin smashed into Gawns hip. Hobbled off not long after

 

[MattWriting]

Scrappy game. Nothing pretty about it. Can’t believe I get the privilege of reviewing this work of art on the Podcast. Thanks Michaels

Hard to pick the best 5...best 10-14 would be more appropriate

I went for
Vlastuin
Stack
Baker
Brando
Broad ( thought he was solid tonight...brick wall...lots of 1%s)

Wanted to also add
Houli
Grimes
Lambo
Ross
Higgo
Prestia
KMac
Dave

Maybe we can just watch the Stack bump on loop and comment on that for 40 minutes ?

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

And carlton got rid of him.lol

Seriously!?!?!
Did'nt cartoon also get rid of their conditioning coach who ended up big time in the States?!?
That's two good to be true...lol
Never change cartoon...never...

 

[tigernsw]

Great timing to have a 9 day break. Like a mid season bye.

Looking at the next 5 games I think we can cover JR.

R7 - Dogs - not a great defense, Lynch and the smalls at Marvel
R8 - Dockers (WA) - plenty of space for our talls, play Balta
R9 - Hawks at G - play Balta or Moore
R10 - Bombers - dreamtime - Stack, Edwards, Bolton, Rioli to put on a show
R11 - we have the bye, I mean Kangas

 

[Madtiger2006]

And carlton got rid of him.lol

Cos they have the bye? Been doing well before that

 

[captain cotch 9]

I saw someone put on Twitter that all Richmond fans should be embarrassed that we missed the first 10 years of Jack Ross’s career.
He is very composed,clean and smart
