    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    Hawks sharked us by winning clearance instead of conceding and reloading off HB. We look like we set up to stop the game they didn't play. They sat on our mids and theirs had a feast. With Hugo and Macrae both well down there wasn't anyone apart from Hall that could win a contest.

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    I'd say we are much more like Geelong in the last 12 months. We are happy to attack through speed and risky corridor kicks. If I was to guess we are modelling off Geelong. They are better drilled and more consistent in impact but there are a lot of similarities. They are better at adapting to...

    The way the Dogs play is the antithesis to Lyon's preferred style. They surge and burst and keep the ball moving before we can structure up ahead of the ball. Even if we lose it would be nice to reduce the margin considerably.

    I still have us down for loss but AFL throws up strange results all the time. We are due for one against the tide.

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    And that's exactly what we've done for the last 40 years and we are so much better off because of it. Lyon will come under pressure next season if we don't show improvement but we'll stick with this set up regardless this year. Everything looks better but we haven't got the wins to show for it...

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    But imagine if you mortgaged your family's tin shack in the desert and sold the rusty VK commodore to spend $3000 to fly here to see that shit as your one game a decade between incarcerations. It's diabolical. We might have finally broken his ridiculously positive outlook you only get from distance.

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    Yeah, we are so conditioned to losing that the crowd is the most quiet in the league. It's like being in a library most games. Whoever does game day stuff has no idea on hyping a crowd.

    Hall better now probably for both impact and consistency. I think he'll always be a slightly under the radar type. Reid people are comparing to Pendles due to his speed but it's his absolute freak show stuff that set him above Pendles even. He does unique stuff with his vision. Hand balls around...

    It's certainly not working out well but the improvement usually starts to show shoots before results after a rebuild. I'd say we have made heaps of progress and are bedding in some good habits. If we are at this point again next year the coaches will need to be looked at but to me it's different...

    Hall is an absolutely incredible player but having both would still be better. Reid looks like he's projecting to be a superstar. Hall is going to be an A grade player at a minimum regardless but there is something about Reid that sets him apart. Looks like he's got that freakish stuff in him.

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    That's how we've chosen to play him. Chol plays more of the pack mark deep option like King. Gunston is more like a better version of Sharman.

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    On last night they might or they might not. They are playing with freedom and nothing to lose but at some point you get the spotlight back on you and sides plan for you. I think we suffered from that early. We got hunted back and wilted. Carlton were playing below their level for ages. They are...

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    Stuff the media, we just need to stay low profile just off the peloton and then sprint home late. Anyone that doesn't acknowledge our horrific fixture isn't serious too. We had Collingwood away- a team that is in our band L Melbourne away- a team in our band L GWS away- team in our band W...

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    Hall, Nas and Byrnes are our best inside 50 kicks. Nas is out and Hall has been sent into the midfield. We really need Nas back quickly. You also have to be able to pull the ball in and our forwards look low in confidence or have poor technique. I was impressed with LOCs marking under pressure...

    Autopsy Rnd 11 | Walyalup v Euro-Yroke

    As I said before I understand why sides didn't pick him. Just wish we had. He looked a star then and now.
