Autopsy Roast & Toast v North & Changes For Geelong

[DustinsGuns]

We haven't developed a single midfielder this year. Not one.

Wasted year.

 

[The_Kraken]

The scoreline flattered us in the end. Our slow midfielders were exposed once again by a team with genuine quality. With kids and veterans nearing the end of their careers, we were always going to fall away at this time of year.

You guys do know next year’s not gonna be much better, right?

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Your rambling is seriously deranged

Its spot on you're just too woke to admit it.

 

[Vassp]

That was painful to watch, but not as painful as next week. Hope the Scats rest 20 players so we get withing 10 goals. Worst midfield performance since mid 80's. Prestia, Hopper and Taranto cannot be in the centre square bounce at the same time. Unforgivable coaching to not have a player (Ross or maybe even Tresize for experience) to run with Cheezels.

Hopefully a farewell game for Macca next week.

The only positives were Lynch, Miller and Young. Got some gametime into Hotton, Armstrong and Tresize started well but faded - but still have something to work with.

This is a recurring nightmare, week after week, i said it last flipping year, it wont work........ and still we do it over and over, like a broken record.

What a disaster of a game

Honestly don’t even have any positives to take out of today. How can you with the lack of skill and effort. I understand it’s a young side, but so are they.

Credit where it’s due, Sheezel was enormous and absolutely torched us. When has a team ever let two players have 40+ in a game?

Hotton when played in the middle looked good, can’t wait to see more of that next year.

Seasons end can’t come quick enough. Very concerned for next week and what Geelong could do to us. Reckon if we keep it under 100 it’s almost a win.

I think Hotton looked lost in the middle. Him looking decent was the only potential silver lining but alas.

Looks great in space and on the flanks though. Need to start him in the center a lot next week.

Not sure why Campbell is playing center square when he's clearly our best forward

Winning 2 games next year with a midfield of Lalor, Smillie, Hotton + whoever we draft would still be far better than this. We need to get them on the park.

 

[Hoos]

cant fault their effort

Who's? North's was pretty decent. Our's was f**king disgraceful.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Prestia 14 touches from 83% game time. He is cooked yet Yze, Livingston and Fartley give him another year. The most stupid list management decision since they gave the Samson Ryan who can't mark to save himself 3 more years.

Smilie not ready for next year mate needs more time

what if we win 8 games by round 14

Let’s make a bet now ? I buy you a slab of VB and you buy me a slab of Carlton we won’t win 8 games we will either be spoon or 2 nd last

Prestias great leadership out there lol He stands there the whole game, only had 14 touches and used it poorly. What is the point of another year, he will only get worse.

 

[smasha]

not the young guys im worried about. Im worried about players earning big dollars that cant play in their positions.

That will correct itself in time as we draft more cubs.

You can't turn on a switch after a three flag dynasty and clearout and expect to be competitive unless you have some beach front property and your own fortress and rule changes and fixture changes.

At least West C have Harley in their midfield. We'll have Taranto, Hopper and Prestia again come Rd 1 2026.

 

[Tiges1229]

Let me guess Yze will say “ yeah um that wasn’t afl standard “ says same bs every week unless use another phrase

 

[lizard man]

North scored 88 points in the second half …..

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Who's? North's was pretty decent. Our's was f**king disgraceful.

just getting in before ooze, it's on my post-game bingo card

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Our midfield is easily the worst in the competition, one paced, poor by foot, low meters gained.
We need mids, mids and more mids. 2 way runners with speed.

 

[tropicaltiger]

considering North played out of their skins and we played our worst game for a while.... take out our 3rd quarter and its fairly even. Champion Data points are a joke taranto being ranked as our third best player when he probably played the worst game for the Club speaks volumes, every touch turned to crap. ooze has mentioned many times he don't give a rats about the 4 points or shutting down opposion ball hogs... so we just need to phase out our slow mids and c graders with the pacy up and comers and big strong cubs.

 

[banzai]

Realistically Hopper and Taranto may only have one year left if they perform poorly, then we need to do a Hawthorn and just move them on to open up their spots. Prestia needs to finish up this week.

 

[Tiges1229]

As much as I hate Geesook , there cheat ground etc there recruiting is also what keeps them always competitive

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Wasted year.

we need to get rid of one of tarranto or hopper, theyre diabolical together. opens the door next year for development as well.

Have you been on the cones again?

It wasn't even though, look at the stats. We should have been 10 goals down half time. Then kicked some late goals to make the margain better. North kept us in the game for as long as they could.

 

[Jammo1111]

It’s hard to see where we are going with such a poor selection of mid fielders.

Hopper is not an AFL midfielder. Very slow of pace and decision making, poor disposer. No good.

Taranto is only a bit better and also very slow. These two were massacred today.

Prestia just needs to give it away.

Ross, similar to the above 3.

Dow: panic merchant, can’t kick and a poor hand baller. Game far to fast for him.

Sonsie probably not.

Possibles

Mc A is a chance. Can kick and has some pace and can get it.

Lalor of course

Horton big chance.

Smiley ??

Campbell???

New draft picks?

But it will be bad if we have to play the duds

I’m sure that was the plan, but injuries. I’d love to see more rotations for the kids as what have we got to lose.
