Autopsy 2025 Rd 4 Blues to petition AFL to halve the length of games

[Blue Reaper]

Knew the game was over as soon as Doc pulled out of that contest. You just can’t win when that’s the example. Heartbreaking.

And not the first time this season. Sad to see.

Just simply shouldn’t be in the team at the moment. Although he’s not alone there.

Williams

Looked like Williams hurt his arm and/or wrist in his last passage of play. Didn't look that bad, was just rubbing his arm.

 

[berisha]

Well one positive is that its probably shut up all of those "WHY ISN'T MOIR GETTING A FULL GAME!?!?!" posters.

Ya'll were told he couldn't even get through a half of VFL......

Absolutely no way should we be judging that performance. We could barely get it over halfway at various points let alone into the forward line, and when it did come in it was pumped in.

He needs a good solid run of games. We're far too quick to drop young kids.

Weren't Sydney losing a few years ago while trying to embed a new game plan? Then all of a sudden it clicked.

I think we can see what they are trying to do. There was a concerted effort to lower the eyes today. The problem is that it only takes a weak link for it to fall down.

It's going to look ugly until it doesn't.

Dunno, I thought there were signs that were promising. Yes the problems exist but are not insurmountable.

It's the sudden realisation that we are in game of football that occurs after half time, when we are paralysed by nerves and an inability to execute the most simple of skills. If I was a suspicious person, I'd start checking for betting accounts. We suddenly hate physical contact and can't handle the ball. Note that we started to hit hard again in the last few minutes of the last quarter, as though they knew they were going to cop it after the game and wanted to act like they were giving their all.

Standards, conversations blah blah blah

 

[gunslingr]

Q”will you make a statement eg drop a senior player”
“We have decided to settle the team, to get familiar with each other.blah blah blah Giving them time to grow is important”

COME ON MAN drop doch already

Yeah this was weird considering they brought Boyd, more or less a mainstay of the team last year, back in only to drop him after a single week

 

[Stig O'Hara]

He’s answering in hypotheticals.

Cooked.

 

[JustaBattler]

There a certain player who should not have played at all this n 2025. But here we are.

only one?

 

[passmark]

He’s gone.

He’s got no answers and he can’t fix the issues.

 

[Bundy Bear Bogan]

Bring back Andrew Russell. At least when they weren't injured, they could run out a game

 

[ForYouBlue]

Finally an honest presser (ish).
Reckon Voss left a lot of nuggets to read into...

 

[jj1978]

Clearest he’s ever been in a presser

 

[passmark]

only one?

Only one should have retired

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

What’s this “playing us” shit in the presser?
Playing us, doesn’t ****ing work!
FMD

 

[Ahuitzotl]

I lost count of how many times we were outnumbered in the TV frame 3 or 4 to 1. Sometimes it was even more. Where the hell were we? Minding grass?

 

[hewetta]

Am I in the minority thinking Docherty played alright for us tonight? Sure his first few weeks have been below par but thought tonight was a step in the right direction for him. Looked a bit more like the 22-23 version of Doch.

 

[V23]

He's definitely gone sometime this season, but I have zero confidence any other coach can do that much better with this list.

Can’t see it with him. No problem if he never appears in the navy blue again

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

First half our structure was fine.

It inexplicably went to s*** quickly after 1/2 time.

I'm starting to think the Valium sandwiches at half time aren't helping.

 

[agro]

Williams

I’m sure he’ll be fine - was hurt last week but played tonight, fought it out to the end.

 

[Wickzki]

Voss

• Pretty clear message at half time
• Third quarter unacceptable
• Game is played contest first ,- we were disappointing third quarter
• We didn't handle the pressure
• We're going to review it strongly
• We didn't meet our standards
• He goes into standards and behaviour rather than mindset. (Brick wall bullshit here for me)
• Unusual how we lost as it had been a strength
• Offers no explanations - being clear to be kind
• Way forward is to accept what's happened
• Discussion on selection is happening and is transparent and clear. We're settling the team and there's history in that. Giving them time to grow.
• System only works if we're in it together
• Our system is nothing more than showing up next week and playing another opposition
• We have a method we go to under pressure and we didn't do it
• We're clear on what we want to valueand didn't do that
• A few days off to rest until Sunday
• We must make progression pretty fast
• We collectively own where were at.
• We're good at supporting one another

I might try a couple next week

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Well done guys.
A few days off for all your hard work.
Well deserved.

GAGF!

3 Thursday nights and 1 Friday night, but our weekends are still ruined.

Yep

Crippa and TDK should be looking elsewhere for a flag next season.
