Autopsy Opening Round = GWS 104-52 Collingwood

[Aussie pie]

On a positive note. I thought Reef was solid in the defence.

As solid as a bowl of jelly who dump kicks the ball to the opposition.

 

[BillyElliott]

I saw it was trolling and reported it. Didn’t read it or look much at it. Glad I didn’t if it is worthy of police!

What happened, I missed it.

Off the top of my head the one where he stupidly let super fast Jones get out the back in the last quarter for their first goal of it.

So in your eyes that’s one.

I agree
Think Steele turned it over but looked more like he belonged out there. Pendles sadly looked like he’s clinging to it. I hope this was just a one off for Pendles. He’s a club champion and a star of the game. I’d hate to see him be the next Buddy Franklin.

Teams like GWS and Hawthorn are going to exploit Pendles running. He'll get better when the grounds soften up and it's not as frantic as round 1, but I think it's probably time for the bloke who can stop it.

I don't mind losing but how can we face an undermanned contender and produce that?

Anyway, let's see what a change of personal and a bake from the couch do for next week

I've asked once but it bears repeating, how much of our lack of fitness do you attribute to pre-season training not being up to par and how much do you attribute to age profile?

 

[CanadianPie]

Less disposals, and 20 less tackles (under 40). Shows me we didn’t have it as much, and when we did have it, they tried harder to get it off us.

Sadly. I have to agree. He inspired no confidence that he can hold down that spot.

 

[Knoxy]

I did, was disgusting, have contacted the mods becuase whoever was mentioned can’t cop that

Such a classy poster.

 

[Peters_Nuts]

We must have watched a different game. I was impressed by the way he handled the heat of that game-especially in the second quarter. If you call that third game from a player putrid, you have a very high bar indeed!

This is a good game for a third gamer. Not his fault our experienced players didn’t turn up.

 

[Stronzatello]

There’s a stench at the club. Started with the seats at the G and continued into the selling of the farm to get Schultz. Now we have thrown away our future for players that really didn’t fill a need. Need to get rid of the stench……lead the way Ned!!!

Yeah, Pendles can't chase and therefore can't apply any defensive pressure which is a real concern. There was too many times today where he just looked an old and slow. I know that also happened last year, but if it continues, then Fly has to man up and tell Pendles to pull the pin. No one player in bigger than the club, even a legend like Pendles.

Subbing whe out seemed a really strange decision to me.

3 quarter time we had more possessions including contested possessions but they were beating us in interceptions, turnovers and uncontested possessions. So they were intercepting and getting on the outside. We were too slow.

Last half of the last quarter skewed a lot of the stats.

 

[Aussie pie]

What is obvious is the huge divide in the supporters. Those who think we can never do anything wrong and their favourite players never do anything wrong and those who will call a spade a spade. I’m a spade guy apart from AJ. Anyway we lost this game because of poor coaching, fitness and recruitment or more precisely recruitment (drafting) of the right players. Houston

 

[Kes1984]

What happened, I missed it.

A number of us were sent an inbox from what was a Gold Coast supporter. Clearly Carlton though.

Beyond that I’m not sure. I saw it was just a troll and hit report. Didn’t look what the message was!

 

[danielnajdek]

How are we unfit when we had a month over GWS. I don't get it.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

No, Reef was no better / worse than Frampton or Dean

Just thank your lucky stars you didn't scroll down. That's all I'm going to say. The coward probably closed down his computer after he did that.

 

[nahnah]

Pretty damning indictment on the coaching group that we spent the entire game bombing to the advantage of Taylor and Buckley with no sign of adjusting

I thought it was pretty disappointing we had 3 key forwards in the team and not a single one could at least halve a contest in the air with him, whats the point of them if they cant even do that

Nah, I don't see it that way at all. There's criticisms, and then there's just outright slagging people off. One is emotionally driven, the other applies context to the situation.

Problem with Allan is he is terrible by foot

Negatives: Gee it's getting hard to hide Pendlebury, he is a training cone when the opposition have the ball outside of congestion, super slow now.

Josh Daicos looked like he was running in slow motion, did he get slower or is he unfit/carrying something?

The forwardline was a mess, lots of entries for horrible return

Schultz was woeful

Nick Daicos isn't fit

Positives: not sure. Quaynor looked improved

Perrymen was good

J.Daicos and Lipinski looked like they were running on treadmills. Was baffling.

Daniel’s kicked the first goal, Jones did kick a goal, nothing to do with J Daicos.

Lipinski always looks like that
