Autopsy Autopsy vs St Kilda

[Devil Fish]

We desperately need an athletic defensive mid who can do the fundamentals 70% well like Windhager.

Powell.Is.Not.The.F*cking.Answer.

Not wrong.

Powell is a C Grade mid. Would be an ideal depth player at a good club.

 

[deano28]

Turnovers . Missed kicks and handballs that literally under 16s hit on the regular . FMD it’s hard to watch . Really ****ing hard

 

[scottywiper]

Love to see the 50m penalty stats over season.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

We cannot be playing Daniel from now on. It’s beyond the joke. He can only get the ball in space as he can’t win a one-on-one with his size and any kick (looking at you Hardeman) that is an aerial contest, he will lose.

You are basically playing one man down, down back.

 

[Passmore]

Yeah righto muscles.

Payne 6.2 in the VFL.
Harvey 0.1 and a soul destroying turnover late.

I don't care who Payne comes in for - it should probably be Konstanty - but let's not pretend Harvey is some great undroppable messiah

Coop's 4 goal game may have been his "Uncle Shane " moment.

The AFL App said tactical.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Bizarre not to tag NWM

We were. We had Powell (who did four fifths of f*ck-all offensively) on him.

Trade our future for an athletic defensive mid. We get slaughtered inside with the likes of LDU, Kerch, Powell in there.

Plusses were that it seems like (20 rounds into the year) Sheezel found some touch. And Port got flogged.

*Half a man down

When someone asks me when I get home from the match about how I feel re those last few minutes

 

[Jonnoo]

Did Banch do his ribs with his horizontal mark?

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Thought Banch was our best small until subbed. Persist.

 

[Jonnoo]

From my view I thought FOS was on NWM when he drifted forward and he did a decent job.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

3 times today, within 5m of goal, PC chose to try and kick it off the ground instead of picking it up......

He had a howler. Hasn’t been great since his return to be honest. Needs to be sat down with someone senior and told to pull his head in.

 

[franjon]

Dude, pick it up…

Cost us two goals, including that one in the last minute, to win the game, because he tried to be a soccer star.

He would've been playing against the right team. Brazil's defence is average. They're lucky that they're good in most other areas. Defensively they're not much better than us. Watch the 2014 Germany WC match. Defence has never been their strong point.

 

[Amicalola]

Disappointed yes, but I see the positives, young guys - McKercher, O'Sullivan, Hardiman they are good footballers and will be north Melbourne greats. Stay positive and watch the turnaround. It's so hard too watch the louges but look at the young

I used to feel this pretty strongly but at this stage I don't think we can count on the young to stay if we keep putting in efforts like this as our ceiling (and last week as our floor). Duurs almost out the door, and some of the others would be genuinely insane to extend (eg. Wardlaw)

 

[Jonnoo]

Port pushing to eclipse our 101pt loss

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

From my view I thought FOS was on NWM when he drifted forward and he did a decent job.

Third quarter (despite what the fawning commentators thought) I thought his influences was pretty curbed.

But why the f*ck want this the play from the get-go. Imagine what he would have learned. And you just know FOS would have been champing at the bit for the assignment.

One third of our team can't compete overhead:

Banch, Daniel, Wardlaw, McKercher, Konstanty & RHJ today. All too short to compete overhead. And then we have Jy, Will Phil, Fisher & Payne on the list as well. That's TEN guys on our list unable to compete overhead.
It kills us every week. It gives us no chance of competing against the top teams. No chance.
We can mask it a little against the other cellar dwellers though.

This list re-build is a disaster.

IF this current list reached its absolute MAXIMUM potential (as unlikely as that is), we'd be lucky to sneak into the 8. Win a final? Unlikely. Serious contender/Top 4 - forget about it.

Duursma out the door is on him.

He’s been given opportunity after opportunity and still does **** all.

What more does he want? He’s now being given game time that he hasn’t earned.

If he wants out it’s on him not being good enough.

The recruitment team’s fascination with copying Richmond’s plan of playing mostly sub-six-foot players in their window is a bit sad to think about.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Saw glimpses of old Sheez that made me happy

He must be injured tho, he’s lost a step of pace and his kicking depth is down a lot.

 

[Samsquanch]

Comben kicked the ball away

Ok thanks


Umps had no issues with hall not kicking over the mark though.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

The posters who lost it over the price paid for Daniel currently doing victory laps.

What a spud he's turned into over the last couple of years.

 

[Only Forwards]

soul destroying turnover late.

I’m not gonna cook the kid for this.

He at least was looking like he was trying to win the game.

Was better when he was behind the ball.

To your other point he’s not undroppable, there are others who should be in front of him though.

No we didnt?

We backed in Sheezel to go 1v1 against him whilst Sheez found it easy NWM court him on the overlap.

Powell played more out the back of stoppage and was solid i thought set up alot of attacking play. 8 score involvements show it.
