Autopsy Freo Forget The Game Was Moved and Dont Turn Up (Rd 23 Review)

[apuchar]

List cloggers like Acres, Crowden and Tucker all have to go after that.

Crowden was very good when he went to inside mid. The others I agree wih you. Shame we are trying to re-sign Tucker. I hope he is only depth.

not having a single possession after HT. Our forward line is a huge issue, and frankly JLo can * off if he thinks supporters will be happy with burning a high pick on some Vicco kid who can run fast.

 

[Van_Dyke]

most concerning thing for me was how easily the saints tore us apart in transition, genuinely embarrassing stuff at times

 

[Piggy Smalls]

That was s**t. We went at about 30% by foot and applied no pressure. St Kilda must be pretty s**t as they couldn’t beat us by 900 points today.
Seriously if my Mum was 6 foot 10 she’d give us more than Meek does.

 

[estibador]

I thought we'd lose but that was still a very disappointing effort.

- 6.13 to 17.5 is such a Dockery scoreline. Only 3 less scoring shots yet we lose by 10 goals

- And how Dockery that some no-name (whose name I can't remember because he's such a no-name) bobs up and kicks a mini bag against us

- I'd much rather be us than the Saints next year though. They should be more disappointed than us missing the finals given the demographics of the respective teams and their recruiting drive last off-season

- No point being angry at Meek even though that was his worst game to date. He is what he is - a competent developing reserve ruck who isn't good enough to be a #1 yet. If he was he'd be poached to be a #1 instead of re-signing with us. It's pretty rare to get a Griffin fall in your lap who's happy to be a #2 even though they're good enough to be a #1

- I'm generally in favour of JLo phasing out guys who stifle our ball movement but I'm mystified that Hughes can't get a game when we're clearly one of the softest teams in the comp. Especially when someone like Acres gets a run, who's a worse distributer and adds nothing defensively

 

[apuchar]

Add Bewley to that list. Total waste of time

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Shoutout to Crowden for a promising game in the middle when given a chance. Crowden, Serong, Ryan, Young, Brayshaw, Mundy and Switta before getting injured played at the required level. The rest got injured, didn’t turn up, or clearly weren’t at the level required for AFL

Don’t blame them, it’s Sunday and I’m only just waking up too

I slept in too. Didn't watch the game until half time

 

[FreoRicci]

Actually didn’t mind Banfield and Crowden last two weeks. Hard, got their hands free. Perplexed why we moved Bailey out of the middle. If they keep playing like that, they’re good depth.
It’s the experienced players that is pathetic. Tucker had his worst season to date, Acres wasn’t given much chances and when he did he’s not good. Bewley is very cordial.
Western is miles off AFL level. Honestly believe Henry is best suited on the wing. Does great stuff when he has it. All in all, tough day.
Hope Tabs and Pearce are okay. Positive is Hamling, Cox, Fyfe, Lobb are ready for pre season

Pearce was actually decent. Never understood why he was maligned. Fit, could run and helped Hill and others break free.

Indeed. One can only assume that Bell must have decided to can Hughes as he is rookie listed and uncontracted I think. A real shame, as for all his faults Hughes always gives 110% and never shirks a tackle, way better list depth option than Tucker, Acres or Bewley.

Tucker had no possessions? Yikes. He’s cooked and only 24.

As much as i agree and like crowden in the midfield ... it shows what's wring with our list.
Making midfielders play as small forwards just because they're small makes no sense. We need more guys with forward craft and instincts - half our best 22 could play on ball at a decent standard but almost none can play forward.

Those rainbow bombs into the fwd 50 would be 1 reason

I don’t know but at least Danyle was capable of the sublime. Acres is barely capable of the reasonable.

Yes I forgot I was going to mention him.

The very definition of a nothing player. Built like Tarzan, plays like Jane.

I'd get rid and play Henry on the wing next year. Solves two problems:

i) that Henry is the very definition of softness in any contest - and gives absolutely no chase whatsoever up forward - yet looks good in space; and ii) that Bewley does absolutely nothing in space and can't get involved in the slightest.

Don't agree about Henry being soft. That mark he took late was very courageous. He is young and slight. His defensive run is an issue, I agree.

That's fine. But trust is earnt, and you've got some work to do.

 

[estibador]

Hughes is a fine player and I don't understand why we aren't playing him.

He's one of our best intercept marks who's willing to go back with the flight of the ball time and time again. No wonder we leak easy goals every time the opposition go forward if that isn't a trait that is valued in our team.
