Autopsy Preseason Matchup vs Melbourne - Friday 20 February

[Rod Stroker]

Reminder that we looked elite against Collingwood 2years ago, horrendous against Melbourne last year - and overall still just sucked during the season.

The pre-season matches genuinely mean zilch. Judge them off the real stuff in 20 days

The conclusion to all that is, based on available evidence, we are destined for another year in the bottom 3

Players looked completely spent when they came off at half time. It's hot out on the ground but they looked knackered.

Vicarious exhaustion. They see the Godees players blowing by them in transition and think 'gee, that must take it out of you'

Players looked completely spent when they came off at half time. It's hot out on the ground but they looked knackered.

My queries on whether they could train harder are well founded.

They just think they train hard.

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

This all reads like the BBC comments section during the most recent Ashes. Are we really that bad or is it a lack of application? I'm at work so couldn't watch.

 

[My Left Foote]

Jesus fellas, it’s a practise match. Calm down

It's a practice match where we get to show all the things that we've been practicing over pre-season like quick ball movement, defending opposition transition, stopping opposition run ons etc. none of which we have executed with any degree of competency.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I'm convinced this Todd Morris must be related to that other clown Tom Morris

[Kanga Glory]

We apparently have an abundance of crumers but don't get ball of packs

 

[SnowRoo]

Hopefully this is the last time we see UDL, Larkin, Daniels, Cobden, Dobertson and CCJ.

Looks like X is struggling in centre bounces. That's a worry. Really hurting our centre clearance game.

Get Cooper Harvey off the ground.

I've switched off but I assume he did something lazy on defence?
