Autopsy Roast & Toast For Suns & Changes For Saints

[Ralll]

Grab the tape, smack them over the head with it, throw it out and get them back on track for next week.
Vlas great, Taj class...thats about it.
We have a long injury list and these games happen to rebuilding teams. Move on.

 

[Julio Dulio]

I think this was a much needed eyed opener.
Sonsie was bad sonsie again.
Green invisible.
Brown who knows what he is. Just doesn't find anywhere near enough of it.
Mansell way off the pace
Ross scratchy, etc, etc

Learn a lot during games like this that’s for sure!

 

[Julio Dulio]

Think this is a foretaste of what's to come. we've been so dependent on having healthy veterans carry the side all year. Take TT, Broad and Lynch out and we immediately look worse than WC. hard to see how we're going to be competitive 2 years from now.

He shirks the contest far too much. That said he got a couple of CBAs in the last quarter and got us 1 of our 5 centre clearances with a slick handpass (utterly insane we're not playing him there - very hard to tell if he should be delisted when we're not playing him in his only good position).

If healthy, a 21 yo lalor, Hotton, smillie, Faull, Armstrong, sims, Alger plus the others Gibcus etc, will bring a lot

 

[footyistherealwinner]

Balta has been cooked all year. Last week was a surprise more than an expectation. Simms is a 19 yo 199cm KPF

Ok that's fair but what did Sonsie do that's bad again? Or is more what he didn't do or didn't do enough?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

We'd be ragdolling everyone.

 

[terrybull]

Umpires non-calls for our tackling and others things made me hardly watch the game.

So only voted for our goal kickers.

 

[Vassp]

We lack speed in the centre.......ball use. its a broken record.

with a young team we are going to get gamea like this..

BUT what i cant excuse is playing prestia, ross, Hopper in the same midfield. all flat footed.

Hopper will start again next week after posting 15 1 mtr handballs.

Even our defense which is our biggest strentgh played poorly.

.

Two years from now we have a batch of third year players that are much more developed, rather than the raw kids they are now. We will be fine

 

[tropicaltiger]

Yes we're low on cattle but pressure and goal kicking was catastrophic.

Vlastuin and Hotton the only two that deserve votes.

what an insult to 5 or 6 of our boys we were beaten by 15 goals not 28
and Gold Coast done exactly the same to Brisbane Lions. IF nank reads this he will find you and give you an uppercut.

 

[Blinger]

Ok that's fair but what did Sonsie do that's bad again? Or is more what he didn't do or didn't do enough?

Sonsie's biggest issue, is when its time to put his body on the line, he generally shirks the issue. His ball use is generally pretty good. If he could get in & crack hard, he would be picked on his disposal alone. The balls in his court, whether he wants a career or not.

 

[sanaya]

liked trezise on the wing

Agree, it’s actually been Ridiculous that it’s gone on all year. We have absolutely nothing to lose by trying some fresh blood through our midfield.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Might sounds harsh but train or got owned by about 5 different opponents today. Barely competed.

 

[copthat]

Good to see Campbell and MRJ get a decent chunk of midfield time even if it didn't amount to much. Banks found a bit of it again. Armstrong got through.

Other than that, a pretty forgettable game. Probably got one eye on the end of the year with our injury list.

 

[Pomsta]

Not sure why people are hanging it on Ross. As far as I could see he went onto Rowell in the 2nd half. Rowell had 2 kicks after half time and 2 less possessions than Ross. He was clearly one of our best.

 

[energyquant]

I stopped watching after it became clear that the holding the ball rule doesn't apply to Matt Rowell

. What a joke. That guy could do a 720 whilst being tackled and it would still be called a ball up or free kick to him.

We did today. Campbell, Rioli and Sonsie all had their highest CBAs of the year.

 

[tigers12]

We got to remember folks we were no hope today
Also we have won 5 games and been hit by injuries I call this season as a pass mark
All the so called experts tipped us to not win 1 game
Also there is some players that really need to be shown the door Prestia ,kmac,short,and maybe trade balta

 

[Tigers Time]

Not to fussed tbh. Honestly think it’s been a bit hard with our injury list as big as it is has made it near impossible to drop players for underperforming. Few things to work on in preseason.

 

[CLFC23]

Not sure why people are hanging it on Ross. As far as I could see he went onto Rowell in the 2nd half. Rowell had 2 kicks after half time and 2 less possessions than Ross. He was clearly one of our best.

2 kicks is a generous way to put it. Bloke had 12 clearances 27 touches and broke 1 million tackles. I'm pretty sure Ross was on him from the first quarter as well.

 

[THE_GUN]

Not sure what you blokes were expecting from this game

I was just happy to lose by less than 100 points

hopper prestia poor disposal, Ross fumbly, balta barely got ball in hand, short made poor decisions.

only vlastuin miller mcintosh (edit: and nank) not subpar among the mature experienced players

 

[beema limapep]

Toast: lack of accountability when defending was putrid.
Roast: Taj, Trezise, Floss and the fact a dozen kids got another game in.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Shows where we are at
Injury list has caught up

Some of the boys a bit sore and in desperate need of a rest
