Autopsy Round 14, 2020: Melbourne v St.Kilda

[plugger66]

So over AFL, deadset.

Drop half the f****** team after. Utter disgrace.

Oh and newsflash AFL, IF YOU’RE HAVE A ******* GAME IN THE MIDDLE OF ******* NO WHERE AT LEAST HAVE THE RIGHT ******* TECHNOLOGY YOU ******* AMATEURS

Ok.

 

[BrutThough]

It’s actually completely in our hands.

We aren't capable of beating either West Coast or GWS. Hell, who knows if we can beat Hawthorn now.

Tonights game was our ticket in and we blew it.

 

[George]

I’m not blaming a 14 game player when billings hind kent butler Clark etc were also pathetic

I'm blaming them all

 

[stfan]

We only have a gameplan suited to open freeflowing games.


If the opposition slow things down, we just do not know what to do and revert to just roosting the ball.

We want shootouts. Smart opposition coaches know this and close up the game and we crack.

We simply do not have a gameplan suited to finals football.


And unless we knock off GWS in the last round we will not be in the 8. And even if we do win against GWS depending on how other games go we may not make the 8 anyway.

 

[Keg still on legs]

4 games decided by under a goal for 1 win

Either we aren't practicing the close ones or we are and the players just aren't learning. Either option is concerning

Some will disagree but Hill's best game for mine. At least he ran the lines. Steele huge.

Those bombs into the fwd 50 made me want to punch my tv.

Finals a genuine 50/50 now. Only got ourselves to blame if we miss. Hopefully our %age helps us sneak in.

 

[MrFoster]

For all the Ratt’s talk about needing good kicks in the team, I don’t see much evidence of us showing these skills.. 90% of our game is doing long bombs which any pub footballer can do..

We needed clean hands in stoppage, Bytel should have stayed in.. too many soft out side players in this team.. only Jones and Steele can win their own ball.. Melbourne has Oliver, Viney, Bradshaw, Patracca.. and please ask the players to stop bombing the ball, it’s predictable and it is not working when we’re struggling to score.. try hitting a target or taking the man on for a change, if the player can’t do it, bring in someone who can..

 

[denisp]

Lost to North by 2 points. Lost to Freo by 6 points. Lost to Brisbane by 2 points. Lost to Demons by 3 points. Beat Suns by 4 points.
1 win out of 5 close contests does not bode well for us. We must get better at closing out tight contests. We’ve just shot our selves in the foot majorly. So mad, my head is throbbing! Fuuuuuuuckkkkkk!

It’ll come starting next year

 

[Mowman]

Teams with our demographic will always be inconsistent. Just a fact of life

And all we have done for year on year is make excuse's
Had 16 more inside 50s nothing to do with being young more to do with not wanting the win enough and being a dumb football side

 

[theprospect]

19 goals and ranked top 10 in contested marks in the comp in your first 14 games of AFL footy. If that's not up to standard I'd love to know what is.

 

[Confuscius]

Why wasn't king used as a decoy or at the very least surely our mids can realise May is all over him and look for other options?

Battle Membrey Ryder Marshall... they all looked dangerous when May was away from them

Shocking loss. So much on the line and we reverted back to the shithouse form of previous years. One step forward 2 steps back

 

[mighty_sainters]

Agenda hahahaha

Why defend him? He has been shocking the last two weeks, can't mark to save his life. Why keep playing him to the detriment of the team. I want to win games I don't care who is in the side but he isn't offering anything.

Naitanui can’t take a mark to save his life but he’s in the team for different reasons.

 

[saintskit]

Zero idea how people think hind is better then lonie. He has kicked one goal in 5 games, he's a small forward wtf is he doing!

 

[SaintJunior]

Finals my arse. No chance need two more wins might beat Hawthorn but Eagles and GWS will pants us.

That games sum our club up to a tee.

miss early shots tick
Let opposition kick a few in a row tick
Her close enough to tease us tick
Lose the game tick
Fail in a must win game tick

 

[Diehard Saint]

Can’t even blame the umps FFS!

 

[sverik25]

For those suggesting maybe we should've given King a rest, that would be fine if we had another key forward option, which we don't (and please don't say Abbott).

 

[snails13]

Because of the way he runs

Well that's good because it's not because of his Awesome Marking

 

[George]

Naitanui can’t take a mark to save his life but he’s in the team for different reasons.

Lol why are you comparing a key forward to a ruckman

 

[denisp]

Tough to watch king not take any good grabs after seeing Riccardi dominate in the air earlier today

OMG GWS played one good game let’s all get on

 

[plugger66]

We aren't capable of beating either West Coast or GWS. Hell, who knows if we can beat Hawthorn now.

Tonights game was our ticket in and we blew it.

It’s still completely in our hands. Could easily win between none and 3

 

[BrutThough]

Carlisle has been sh*t the past few weeks, I don't think he's 100%. Definitely needed a spell.

On CPH1725 using BigFooty.com mobile app

I disagree. He held McStay well last week while taking 8 marks himself and having an equal team high 5 intercepts. He makes our defence better.
Wish he was out there tonight.

Just reality mate.

 

[Phoenix_9]

Obviously George has snapped guys. Yes King was murdered by May, but George doesn’t actually think King isn’t AFL standard. He’s just insanely frustrated. Like us all. We needed to get Marshall on May much sooner... poor coaching in that regard.

 

[StCicatriz]

What the inside 50 stats don't tell you is most the ball was kicked at such a height it left the earth's atmosphere and re entered around the 40m mark.

Hahahhaa its funny cause it's true

 

[Cadillac]

As a caterey member of the western bulldogs who is dating a saints supporter. I promised her I would ask her why the hell our CEO Ameet Baines decided on drafting McCartin > Petracca. Can’t believe it.

 

[Confuscius]

I'm not gonna blame hill for that inside 50. Who ever took the mark gave it to hill under a heap of pressure and no options. Think it was Marshall... understand the need to move quick but that was a bad handball especially when we've just marked it
