Autopsy 2025 Round 22 Two tribes went to war. Frankie lights up in a loss.

[SurreyBlue]

AFL GC Suns being looked after very nicely tonight. Must make finals…..

 

[T2B_]

Well deserved. Many had wrote him off, me included. But from the moment he got knocked out it's something clicked.

Thing is he's still only 23, played less than 50 games.

I'm not suggesting he's gonna be a full time superstar small or anything, but he's honest, tough and has some skills. Keeps it up like he has recently, he's deserving of a contract.

 

[BlueBayou]

I’m going to the pound tomorrow to get a rescue dog and call him Frankie,

They’ll have a lot in common.

He will need a Mo..
Maybe a Scotty?

 

[thefrog]

Big wraps on Ollie Hollands, Frankie Evans and Cooper Lord this week, they should all be proud of their effort tonight. Loved seeing Lord play tagging inside mid, really worked for him.

Ashton, Billy and Hudson all had their moments and I’m happy to persist with them for the rest of the year.

We showed we can bring speed and pressure and that’s exciting - double down on what worked then Vossy!

Downsides today, Lewis Young

was beaten too easily by a handy opponent and Lachie Fogarty sapped energy out of the game with his misses

I can’t get too excited about a loss but I saw lots of things from our team today that I’m happy about

 

[BlueLocke]

Frankie will be playing AFL next year after that last quarter.

Lord, Cerra and Smith in the midfield in 2026, with Walker to add the year after, gives me something resembling hope.

Recruit an elite runner to that mix and we’ll be okay (assuming we develop something resembling a coherent game plan).

 

[Toddy86]

Seriously piss hollands off

 

[SolGoodman]

Cooper Lord 12 tackles 24 touches.

Been obvious for a while he's our future, why the **** he's been on the wing and sub so long I'll never know.

 

[ESKIE]

I like the tile of the thread The Old Dark Navy's very good !

I am loving cooper lord what a young gun we have looking forward to watching him and his mate Jagger over he coming years

 

[branedotorg]

Says you thinking the game was over - give it a rest - fogarty's two mises from dead in front was difference in that game.

Suns poor efficiency at goal was the difference in my opinion but you do you

 

[myblueroan]

Biggest lesson. We looked our best and most dangerous when we through the ****ing game plan out the ****ing door.

Great game Frankie.

We've been saying this a long long long long long long long time.
Along with
1 more short kick into 50.

I choose to believe it will fall into place next season.

 

[Navara79]

Who was our last cult hero?

Lawrence Angwin

 

[passmark]

Frank has been building for a while (he was playing well before getting hit by a May shaped semi trailer).
Sometimes it takes something to get the belief.

Maybe he’s an overthinker

 

[Accidental genius]

Awesome effort to give it a red hot go in the last Q.

Loving the energy by the young guys

Senior players also put in which just shows if team brings effort anything can happen

And of course…

Super dooper game by Evan’s. He’s going on my avatar tomorrow.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Surely we aren’t celebrating this loss

 

[GoBlues!]

Says you thinking the game was over - give it a rest - fogarty's two mises from dead in front was difference in that game.

Tackling and pressure is all very fine, but sometimes a forward has to kick goals otherwise they’re just dragging us down.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I will admit I was wrong about Frankie.
Took the hit from the street thug a few weeks back, and then tonight….respect dude!

 

[heatleystandend]

I try to find some positives about Voss and have hope but if he can’t see that O Hollands is not the person to have as your designated kicker out of the back half then it’s hard to keep faith.

People defending Ollie cause ‘he tries hard’ is just as infuriating.

And if Fogarty plays again they are not fair dinkum.

 

[BlueHulk]

Lord Cowan, Moir, HOK even Billy look promising. Along with Jagga the campo boys, Hof after he gets back from the ACL.
We've just got to recruit players to grow with them and balance the team out.

Target pace and good kicking skills in the draft.

Fog, Durds, Motts, White and Evans to fight it out for the small forward rolls. I think 2 have to go.

should go to the nearest Hospital and have a very thorough physical examination and press full charges.

He should not shower prior to presenting.

 

[Andonis1997]

Please - just for once, can we win a game we're 30+ pts down, rather than getting close and shitting the bed?

 

[Juddrockz]

It wasn't all doom an gloom. The kids played well. Frank the Tank hey,who would thought?
I'd take that 19 points loss to the Sunnyboys any day of the week after what we've been dishing up lately.

 

[passmark]

He will need a Mo..
Maybe a Scotty?

It’ll be some sort of staffy or kelpie or heeler. That’s pretty much what you get at the shelters now.

I might paint one on him/her

 

[JustaBattler]

Tackling and pressure is all very fine, but sometimes a forward has to kick goals otherwise they’re just dragging us down.

we all know what is missing mate- some of us like to support the CLub and celebrate the good stuff - I know it isn't fashionable in here anymore.

 

[Opium]

That last quarter was a bit of a taste of what might have been, as good as anything we’ve put out this year.

Lord, Cowan & Evan’s were terrific tonight, all of them stood up.

Ollie Hollands if he gets his kicking right could be a genuine elite, why not try him in the middle.

There’s genuine young talent there & Vossy gets a tick for playing the kids.

Agree, I think Hollands in the middle is worth a try. Has good hands and runs all day. Really needs to work on his kicking in the pre season. I think Wilson could play the same role Hollands is currently playing. Better disposal and decision maker.

 

[BlueTongue]

Frank for Skipper!
Frank the Igniter!
Frank the TANK!!
