Autopsy Smashed the Tigers - Rd 11, 2019

[NarniMagic]

LOL

16:30 left in the last Martin calls Frog a f***ing fat c***.

Fair to say they didn't like the physicality we applied.

The more the years go by, the happier I am Martin didn't accept our offer. Don't need w***ers like him at our club.

Snake_Baker, moving this discussion from the Zurhaar thread. In regards to turning a corner, I feel this post from last year could almost be applied to the Richmond game from Friday. You posted this after Good Friday last year.

The win isn't really here nor there in the big scheme of things

Probably a bit more meaning to this win sans Brad.

What I loved was the intent. That is something that can be brought every week regardless of our skills or the scoreboard.

If they keep applying themselves like that then the other issues will eventually correct themselves.

This is basically how I feel about the Tigers game.

Everything needs to be predicated on the intent.

This team have inconsistently been able to provide it.

Put tactics to the side we went from chocolates to boiled lollies last year.

This year it could be the inverse.

The intent needs to be there, every week. It's was patchy at best under Brad. One win doesn't indicate that it's here to stay.

But it's a step in the right direction.

That view at that time is not in correlation with the events that have unfolded in most of the first 9 rounds of this season.

We're also 12 months down the track, development wise, and list wise.

Congrats - first NM game I’ve enjoyed watching for sometime to be honest, look forward to seeing a few more. Love the Shaw’s - great footy family and great around the club. Good luck moving forward and one less Scott brother presser whine I need to sit through.

Mate, the pressers were never compulsory. I stopped watching them years ago.

 

[Sticksphat]

Might have a defensive coach opening for 2020.

Rhys Shaw has a little bit of a different approach, but never go full Heath.

Imagine how madcap we could be!

I think Sean Penn once went full Heath...

Interesting Split.

Both coaches had Cunners at 5-5
Brown got 4-2
Higgo got 4-0
Polec 3-0
Zurhaar 3-0
Wood 2-0
Tarrant, 1-0
Rochmond flog 1-0

Overall leaders

63 - Tim Kelly (GEEL)
52 - Patrick Cripps (CARL)
49 - Brodie Grundy (COLL)
47 - Travis Boak (PORT)
46 - Ben Cunnington (NMFC)

For a team that’s losing Cunners effort is enormous.

What about Cripps then. Poor bastard being in that shithole of a club.

 

[The Warlord]

Cunners has to be AA in this form.

 

[see see]

Cunners has to be AA in this form.

He should but he won't. Instead, his spot will go to some plodder from the Crows whose first name is Brodie that no-one's ever heard of outside Adelaide. Or Geelong's sixth best mid; the one who goes missing in finals on an annual basis.

Won’t get AA, as defenders need to kick goals to take their game to the next level.
It’s why we’ll see Porkins or Franklin take the AA fullback role, as Cameron has the chf role already.

 

[King Corey]

Jack Higgins has already peaked as a player.

Won't be on an AFL list at 25.

Not sure about that but hope he's got a solid Plan B.

Quitting your schooling to concentrate on top age U18 footy is certainly a different direction to take.

TG quit Year 12 but started a plumbing apprenticeship, which is a bit different.

I'm sure Jake King and Dusty's Dad can find some work for him.

Stat I've just come across:

Rhyce Shaw is 37yo and is the 37th coach for North Melbourne and they won by 37 points.

.... and he took over when we were 3/7

 

[D23D]

.... and he took over when we were 3/7

Cue Twilight Zone music. Better get some money on the flag!

 

[The Warlord]

And 32 plus 37 = 69 and it is no surprise we've improved once Mason finally managed to play footy and stop trying to suck himself off all the time.

 

[AdmiralBenson]

Trying to remember when we last wore our (Carey era and later home jumper) for a home game like Friday night?

Be at least a couple of years i suspect? (i know this had the Indigenous theme but was ultimately same style)

I initially was for our move to the mostly blue home to conform with AFL (ridiculous) policy to allow us blue shorts/socks under their white policy, but i still think the previous looks better.

It's probably not important but hope can do it more often!! Make it happen!

Them winning the premiership was the worst of the unholy Triforce over the last three years.

 

[Woodson]

Zurhaar set the tone early. The tackle on Stack. Then shepherds Anderson’s kick through for a goal, after that he nails Butler HTB and wins the free kicks and it to Brown for a goal. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get 10 coaches votes.

Cunners deserved the 10 and got ‘em. Zurharr surprisingly got less than I expected. I gave him 1 vote.

His turn will come. If he continue on the trajectory he's been on then he will be a very good player.
