Autopsy Roast & Toast for North & Changes for Dreamtime v Essendon

[Truetiger]

I just got back from the game. We were the better side after the first quarter. It would have been nice to win, but we’re better off in our position than them. In the end, experience the difference , and we had our chances.

Seth is a freak of nature.
tall boys starting to show good signs. take a while with them.
Lalor is another freak, gee he is showing something great.

So your telling us our team is a freak show ?

Promising game by Kane McAuliffe. If he had finished off some of his forward entries he would be a monty for the rising star nomination.

Ended up with 22 disposals with 6 I50 and 5SI. Looks a good impact player, not an accumulator.

Felt like he got some good ball outside too. Not just a grunt

is this a trick question ?

Theyre both freaky players, amazing and we are lucky to have them

our forward line is the biggest problem imo, we acknowledged that at the draft. id be very surprised if lefau doesnt slot in once he gets a few vfl games under his belt. the young forwards are showing signs but lynch still carries way too much. need another contested mark down there to go with lalor. get alger in for green, cant be any worse.

Yes, it’s partly personnel but it’s also system. These long, floating entries are totally ineffective and easily defended. We also make a lot of kicks to pockets, which never work out. We need to get the **** away from each other and start stretching the defence, rather than always letting them dictate.

I'm not sure why everyone is getting emotional about the result. This game in the scheme of things means absolutely nothing. Both teams are rebuilding.

Both teams get draft picks at the end of the season. The future matters. Not the here and now.

Seriously, think about this game and this season in that context.

I'm not sure if you were at the game, but I was, and if people are upset, good on them; it shows they care.
People commenting is based on roar emotion as the game just happened.

Yes, not heartbreaking in the grand scheme of things, but geez, we had our chances.

Taranto in the last should've nailed that goal to put us in front. Lynch and Campbell missed two easy ones in the 3rd.
And a couple of turnovers, which also cost us goals.

All in all a very good effort but we let this slip as we were the better side.

Anyone still doubting Nank as captain? Plays like Superman every week and leads from the front. I’d take Nank in a heart beat over any other ruck in the comp

 

[biaseddustyfan]

theres been a few crazy posts about Lynch in here. he's cooked for sure but if we drop him or he retires we will struggle to kick over 40pts each week

aints lmaooo

Would nominate three reasons we lost - none related to inexperience:

1. Nick Vlastuin (pushed over by a 20-year-old, which led to the Larkey goal)
2. Tim Taranto (missed one that a top player would slot)
3. Tom Lynch (see Taranto; also did nothing but sook all day)

Do mods get penalty rates from posting from the game?

 

[cairo tiger]

mid and forwards coach should be sacked immediately

 

[Grockadoc]

Four umpires not enough to see it, need one umpire per player

Or give boundary umpires the chance to call things like this...

 

[peternorth]

Seth Campbell is amazing.
3.2 and could’ve had 4 if a bit more composed with 15d is the type of stats we’ve been crying for out of our smalls for a long time.

He’s linking up the ground is something that’s excelled so much in 25.

Lalor stands up in the big moments and chips in with a few goals and 16.
I’d say over the course of the year he’s doing better than I originally expected considering he’s soft tissue injuries pre draft and general conditioning.

Benny gale once told me seth reminds him of kane lambert. He is righty

Good question lol They should pay for our entry as well.

Our smalls also push up and lead, so when se inevitably go long to a tall, they are never in position to crumb the spilled ball.

 

[The_Kraken]

$1.5 mil a year why would he retire

I don’t know his financials, but he should be pretty well setup for retirement. Though it would be hard to refuse an additional 3 million.

Strikes me as a selfish prick; suspect he’d need to be pushed

Probably. I suspect most elite coaches are full of themselves and more than a little insane.

No idea why people think we can play second-tier players and be a top class team

At least a free bucket of chips at the game.

Very annoying to can and death ride North and when it’s our turn we can’t get the job done.
KMac kicks his 2nd goal in the last for the players to lift off…. Nothing.
Poor goal kicking and some awful ball movement out of defence.

 

[Livonski]

Sims put together another nice game

Only real negative was when he got ran down on the wing but that’s just inexperience

Will definitely learn from that one

Poor kid had nothing in front of him.
Should’ve just kicked it to grass. Would’ve copped a deliberate or Norf bloke gets there first anyway.

Let’s hope we beat them in Hobart. 1-1

They aren’t the Aints this weekend they are you’re woke

Why can’t we ever hit up a small?
