AFL Autopsy RND 21: Beaten By The Swans

[justlookingaround]

We need some campaigners in the team!

Dermie mentioned that Archie should store that clash with Guilden in the memory bank for 2028.

You think he's pulling that out of thin air? Or is he giving snippets of his mindset that wanted to win at all costs, even if it meant crossing the line and then some?

My entire knowledge of the professional athlete’s mindset comes from The Last Dance, but I think he’s on to something

 

[BratPack]

Hard to say whether we were that good or the Swans were that shit. Probably both

for only 64% TOG?
Goldy is knackered
Play Unwin and Vigo next week
We butchered the ball (admittedly their pressure was pretty good)
Rare very good game from McGrath and actually showed some endeavour
Wouldn't mind seeing Duurs in the guts more to give Zach a chance to maybe go to a HBF or Wing
Next Friday might be real ugly - PLEASE LET IT RAIN!

So my son played junior footy at Bunyip today, where we had to get food from the canteen in the Max Papley pavilion.

Checked the scores for the senior team throughout the afternoon, where a certain Alex Papley was playing.

Then sat down to watch this game, with Tom Papley

just being Tom ****ing Papley.

I'm Papleyed out.

 

[the PILL]

Liking most the kids. Kako below the knees at speed and under pressure is a beautiful thing... Bit worried about Lual though. Need to cut some more deadwood at the end of the year

We're either professionally tanking or Scott is clueless, I'm still not actually sure.

 

[carnthedons]

Not even mad. Had a crack, kids showed a bit, outsized regularly as you’d expect, last years grand finalist with only 4 or 5 on their injury list. Draft pick not impacted, that’ll do pig, that’ll do

 

[Foxx]

Which senior players are worth hanging on to over the kids?

It's a real problem. The injury ravaged season hasn't unearthed any obvious hidden gems, Its only the ones we already expected.

 

[bommer16]

Kako is slick. Looking forward to watching him play.

 

[Happyskeret]

I thought it was a pretty good effort. They kept battling all game.

 

[silk]

You'll all have to eagerly await until tomorrow for my preview sorry. Out tonight

 

[mxett]

Played all the kids this year. Who have we "found"?

I dont think any really stand out as future stars. A few will be serviceable at most

 

[Nicholas61]

Did ok to keep it to that margin but pretty much every time we kick it forward you knew the Swans would be in prime position to pick it off. When they went forward it was to their guys advantage. So business as usual.

 

[ghostdog]

I dont think any really stand out as future stars. A few will be serviceable at most

Getting a similar impression, but it's also a bit early to tell. We'll have a clearer idea next year. I reckon keepers are obviously Kako, Vigo and Roberts.
Clarke looks likely, and Johnson, May for now, and Lual. Haven't seen the game yet so not sure about Nguyen.

 

[windyhill]

It was bordering on 60+ at stages , boys dug in. Full respect.

 

[Gabe251]

Roberts and kako look the goods, not sure what people are talking about.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Good effort all round in difficult conditions. Roberts ability to get out of trouble is bloody impressive.

 

[Cold Sober]

Good or bad we're stuck with the coach, player wise we need a Richmond like clean out.
No knocks on the effort by all.
We need a Piggy, Tracca or Reid urgently.

 

[King Patty]

That was a pretty boring game of footy, we were never a chance, but surprised it was that close.

My highlight was Nguyen stepping over Papley and Durham showed some form in the midfield, but not much to write home about and McMahon. role his 2 goal game streak due to Brad subbing him.

 

[bomberlegend2007]

Did you see the side we played with today?

 

[Vindicater]

We're either professionally tanking or Scott is clueless, I'm still not actually sure.

Both.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Plenty of effort. We didn't disgrace the jumper. That's about as good as it gets at the moment. Can't see the Tigers winning another game or North winning more than 1 so there isn't even much chance of improvement in our draft hand from here.

They play each other next week so something has to give lol.

 

[Squeaky]

Didn't watch the first half at all Watched most of the second half and wasn't disappointed.

 

[Vindicater]

Who cares anymore...

Get everybody in.

In: Unwin, Gerryn and Visintini

Out: Hobbs, Wright and Goldstein

Sub: Guelfi

 

[Lore]

Impressive. Autopsy already finished and we’re not even at the bottom of page 2…

 

[quotemokc]

I wish we just had terrible skills instead of having the worst field positioning in the league
