Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 3 - Saints v Bombers Sat April 1st 7:25pm AEDT (MCG)

[Osho]

Saints grind it out again, difficult to be negative about what they’ve done.

Except to say (sorry!) that my guess is they’ll be the team that starts well but drops like a stone out of finals contention.

Their effort and determination is laudable, but imo they’ll be beaten down by better teams.

That's a misetable take.
They'll only get better once they improve system and get players back.

How many goals for Weideman and Stringer? Archie Perkins is a good young talent.

Lolololol

I stand by it. One of the lowest ranked players on the ground

Must be so frustrating for Bombers fans.

If you were just flat out terrible, you could at least accept that and plan accordingly. But there were passages of great footy, and players who show glimpses of talent.....just can't seem to consistently string it together and become a genuinely good team.

we lost the game in the 1st Q, we didn't show up until the first Q break, but you except that with a young team. it takes alot of effrot trying to claw back a 30 point lead especially again with a young team.

The loss is ok, they will come this year in spades.

The frustrating thing is naming guys like Heppell in the team. He was an absolute butcher tonight and I wonder how serious we are by still letting him run out. It is honestly embarrassing for him now.

 

[Occidental]

Congrats Saints. Nice to win when you do a big promotion of your history.
Like my mob, you seem to have 100% buy in and that’s a powerful thing.

 

[Walter H White]

Stringer, the potato that keeps on potato ing.

Careful, he'll eat that too.

 

[Great8]

Saints marching into premiership contention

Still have them finishing about 10th.
They beat absolutely nothing tonight

Maybe they would have kicked some if we atcully stopped bombing in

Need a new forwards coach who has a clue

 

[MickG88]

It's not like the Saints had a expirenced veteran team out there. Mostly young kids

Losses shouldn't be accepted regardless of the circumstances thats how you build a loser culture. McRae dosent do this he's filthy when Pies lose said it him self he hates losing

Brad should be fuming post match at the first and last qrts

 

[Aucklander]

Very impressive win. Bloody good side this Saints team. Wood was huge.

 

[Xtreme]

Too many injuries. Maso Wood shoulder a concern

Dream big

Still have them finishing about 10th.
They beat absolutely nothing tonight

They beat a top 8 side
They mean business

My bad, thought you based your opinions off watching games rather than ranking points.

 

[austinnn]

Msson Wood. You're welcome Saints

Why did you delist him? Not trolling, genuinely didn't know him before he moved

 

[Saint12]

Stocker is a bog average footballer

Piss poor call

didnt say i accept it losing.......... but the reality is we are a very inexperienced team

 

[hirdylloydy1]

Disgracefully performance all round including the coaches

We didnt have a great night, too many players off their game. Brad didnt have his best night, picking underdone players, no second ruck and not making the hard call on hepp hurt us badly. This year is about growth, we will have inconsistent performances with so many young guys. They did well to get back into the match after a horror start, which is becoming common across the first three weeks which is concerning.

he was hot garbage at north melbourne

 

[austinnn]

Lol saints

Never change

I remember saying the same about the Cats in the 90s.

But they did

 

[Rod Stroker]

Why did you delist him? Not trolling, genuinely didn't know him before he moved

was injured a lot, struggled for consistency. This is his 10th year but still hasn't got to 100 games.

Always had the talent and endurance (used to smash pre season time trials) but just couldn't put it together often enough.

I would have preferred we kept him but happy he's doing well, dominated tonight in skewering the Dons.

Playing against basically a patched up team of kids.
