Autopsy Roast & Toast vs North Melbourne Rd 11, 2019, & Changes for Geelong rd 12

He was playing on a very in form Rob Tarrant, who just doesn't get enough accolades.

Would have to be the AA full back at the moment, if they're fair dinkum.

Incorrect - Lynch was playing against 3 defenders all the time
I have no doubt, 1v1 he will get the better of most defenders.

3 defenders and 6 knees...

 

[Aeons]

Graham should be brought in to target Dangerfield.
Kelly must be targeted too.
Out from Garthwaite, Bolton, Higgins.
In from Graham, Menadue, Rioli.

agree we have to start tagging OPPO gun mids...don't know why dimma dosnt do this...so frustrating...

 

[Ceehook]

last year we survived those games
but with Rance & Short missing from the back line
Nank from the mid's
and Riewoldt from the forwards
there was a big element of our leaders and play shapers

when things are going well we've covered those guys

Butler looked fresh and particularly sharp but we didn't seem to use him much
maybe he was leading too soon or to the wrong spots ...
I can see him giving us a real boost against the Cats

I get how good nank is, but particularly in the centre square, he rarely gets hits to advantage, which means we don't get clean clearances, and our mids aren't that good there anyway. Our biggest issue is contested ball, and we are only just hanging on with our other systems to cover this poor area of our game. Have a look at how our centre clearances was v the hawks. Havent seen that in a long time for us. I get that Nank is good around the ground, but again he has hardly taken any contested marks this year. I just think there is an area we need to get better at.

If you know your not going to get a hitout too advantage you can set up for it far easier than a 50/50 contest.Our issue is Dimma's refusal to play a tag on the best oppo's midfield.Soldo did well against an aging McEvoy until injured and ceglar but against noef his around the ground stuff was nowhere near what Nank provides.

there is no way in hell Hawkins gets a week...

Bolton sacked so MRO can sweep this under hte carpet lol

100% he gets off, he plays for Geelong. If it was Lynch he'd get life.

 

[Dustin Credible]

When you consider with Rance, Cotchin, Grigg, Reiwoldt, Nankerveris and Lambert have been missing for large periods of time we will have been playing each week with 800-1000 games less experience than last year. As good as the kids have been that isn't sustainable over an entire season...reckon we'll get beaten by Geelong this week...but still pleased with how our season is going. And with the development of the kids the future looks bright.

We are not really missing Short at all imo.

Houli is in top form and Stackman is without doubt a much better all round player than Short.

Agree with this 100%. I honestly can't see Short coming back into the team.

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

well that was a rude awakening...like this...Blue Monday

 

[Dr Awkward]

What's the word on Lambert? Need him this week big time

 

[Dr Awkward]

I hope we play Astbury on Hawkins, not Garthwaite.

Best defender on their best forward let's not muck around

 

[amc11]

Bachar Houli picked up one coaches vote this week - only Tiger to get a vote and Dustin Martin up for goal of the year for this week on the AFL site up against Raynor from the Lions and Sheed from the Eagles.

 

[hanshotfirst]

Yeah we were 6-1 without him. I’m just saying he’s getting on and slowing down, he needs to play more time forward.

We were 17 - 5 last year with him, I would say being 6-1 is the fact that generally we are well drilled unit. Cotch is only 29, he's no dinosaur, to say that Ross is more important is ridiculous. If you're basing this on a sub-par performance this game (which i agree he had), I think that has more to do with the fact he was on the sidelines for 7 weeks. Probably needed to play a half of VFL before this game, but clearly the club wants to fast track him for Geelong.

Imagine if Dimma leaves Garth on Hawkins all game. Will get monstered. Unless he feels Garth is better than Astbury already. Or maybe he's decided to just go with the baptism of fire appoach and give him the key forward every week.

Admittedly it would be better to see him vs a big forward that doesnt flop and flip over with incidental contact. Also want to see him back himself to clunkna few. If he's just going negate and nothing else, he'd want to keep his opponent to under 3.

Yeah I’ve just seen signs of him slowing down, hes copped a lot of hits over the years and was never quick to begin with. Happy for him to prove me wrong

 

[banana_bus]

Hawkins gets off as expected. Amazing stuff.

Dave was awful last week. He ain't best anything atm.

 

[Aeons]

Bolton sacked so MRO can sweep this under hte carpet lol

no wonder we are ****ed with the mro with a colliewobble and a cat running the show...any coincidence that both their teams are at the top of the ladder... cheating w***ers...

 

[Aeons]

can see it now...elbows Ablett to run around collecting a record number of disposals with noone marking him and then smash one of our blokes in the head and get off Scott free...

 

[Aeons]

All good points. I wonder how much game value we would get out of Stacky running with Tim Kelly. I know Stacky would benefit enormously in the short term, but could he quell someone like Kelly who seems to have large influence on the Cats momentum?

we have to tag both kelly and elbows...if we dont we are dead set dunces.

I see what you did there...

 

[tugga]

Our contested ball is s**t. Our mids have not ben good all year. they need to lift otherwise the Cats will maul us.

 

[GH213]

On a positive good to see stacky get the rising star nomination. 2 weeks in a row for us... feels like some sort of topsy turvy afl world.
