Autopsy 14 point win vs GWS/Umpires

[MF]

Good coaching also

Was good to see Francis go back whenever we needed to stop a GWS run on

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

McCartins job on hogan to

Hogan non-factor we are gonna miss Melican is Fox ready?

 

[MF]

Cleary is quick

I think we get him into the middle sooner than later

Yeah every week I get more and more excited about him. Has a really good blend of pace, strength and poise. Will be a very good mid imo

 

[Punts]

Hogan non-factor we are gonna miss Melican is Fox ready?

Melican will be missed yes

Not sure on fox

We should give Edwards a crack

 

[Neverwas]

Great Bloods effort

Lots of good things today . Good coaching performance from Cox.Still a bit of life in the old Ramps yet. Sheldrick a keeper. Hamling and Francis very effective. Great competing from McLean. Just waiting for McInerney to fing his kicking boots on. Wicks and Florent excellent. Cleary excellent.

When they paid that free kick against Warner for blocking Briggs, that's just umpires looking for an excuse to pay GWS a free kick.

 

[The King!]

Apparently Jmac is my boy, he was copping it today just for reference sorted by clangers below.

If he has 4 out of 24 touches that’s a pretty decent game, if he kicked those goals even better. His game and finally hitting form was a big difference today imo

The Francis "HTB" when he went over the boundary line was just as ridiculous

Then they found a non 15 soon after

 

[The King!]

Hamling was excellent too in his role.

Glad he got the goal


Wicks I thought was in our bests. Outside of the obvious like Chad and Heeney

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Is “bald headed flog” permissible here?

Because umpire Nicholls:

You are a bald headed flog.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I would of laughed at you if you said prior to the match we would kick 87 points against that defence with Francis/Hamling spearheading the attack.

I dont think we will get enough credit for that win that was outstanding

Has been dogshit all year and still missing targets. Yes his best game for the year but the endless whataboutisms defending him is funny.

Roberts, Florent, Hayward, Lloyd also been crap most of the year and had better games today particularly Hayward with his tackling but the comments on all of them were warranted

 

[MF]

Hamling was excellent too in his role.

Glad he got the goal

Would have been great to see him and his teammates celebrating it together too, instead of a bunch of charcoal wearing flogs trying to play tough guy

 

[The King!]

Jordon deserves a mention too, his ability to nail goals when others kept missing won the game score wise.

Rowbottom was ****en awful in the second but led the charge early in the third, good response

 

[Bonz]

Strong performances all over the ground.

Some thoughts

• F the umps, that was borderline corrupt.
• Warner, Heeney, Rowbottom and McInerney were sensational as our midfield group today.
• If you had told me Francis and Hamling would be our main two forwards earlier in the season against GWS of all teams, I would have pencilled us in for a loss. But bravo they proved me wrong (in particular Francis has proven me wrong, he looks a natural up forward).
• Wicks may be close to leading our B&F currently

 

[wilsonmatic]

My god, 27-9 free kicks.

And some of them just absolutely corrupt (hat guy mainly).

A good win against a team with 22 on the field.

Great to see Clearly & Corey come into the game in the 2nd half.

And …. onya Gus!

Hat guy screwed us a few weeks back aswell. Nuffy.

That is more like the Bloods spirit , down on players and the Umps having a love affair with the Canberra team.

Dont even need whataboutisms to defend him, he was great today, pretty simple , the only reason to compare is the fact that some people wanted to go on about him making endless mistakes, when the numbers and eye test show it’s simply not true.

Again I agree he has been dog shit, but I think people acting like today was full of errors need to go to spec savers.


You mention whataboutisms then raise 4 other players… ok

Sometimes see a second shot for less

 

[Glenn_]

For a team that wants to look hard as nails every time we kicked a goal on them they did a terrible job of backing it up during the actual play.

Constantly dropping to the knees before the contact even arrives. Soft as butter GWS

Well they probably figured chances are they will get rewarded for it.

 

[The King!]

I was a little surprised Chad was BOG.. splitting hairs, but barely saw him in the last quarter compared to others. He was very good but yeah not sure he was our best imo

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

5-0 H2H now building a nice streak over them

yes cause game day thread your defence of him was to always say whatabout insert player.

Yes i point out all the players that have copped criticism most of this year, you didnt feel the need to defend. Youve send multiple times this year you want to trade Blakely, any comment on his improved game today also?

 

[MF]

Yeah unfortunately they did. I think the AFL really need to address it. If your drop to your knees before contact arrives the high contact should be ignored and it should be considered prior opportunity.
