Autopsy Roast & Toast - Round 1 vs Carlton & changes for Pies Round 2

[fargothegreat]

Easy solution for me

Out Butler
In Ross

Rioli can move forward more and put Ross in the guts

As untidy as Butler was, his forward pressure was still very good with 7 tackles

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

We need to find a spot for Jack Ross.
Played a blinder in the 2s apparently.

We desperately need another inside mid, Cotch can't do all the in and under work.

 

[juss]

I would drop Buttler for Castagna.

 

[TiggerDK]

still can't win free kicks lol

Ha, and how many that we got were Blooz kicking out on full!!!

Agreed. Caddy would really help at the moment.

Alot of people inside the club have big wraps on Garthwaite. Apparently hes been Rance and Astburys protege over the last couple of years. Riewoldt said in the pre season that we would see him play alot of games this year but i struggled to see how we would fit him in with Rance, Grimes, Astbury and Broad already back there. Always believed everything happens for a reason, maybe this injury to Rance is the opening we needed to unleash Garthwaite into the back 6 (know hes a few weeks away though). From all reports this kid is gonna be a star and now were going to be able to get a good amount of game time into him. Maybe it all turns out ok in the end

 

[Cotcho]

rubbish west coke won it without gaff and natanui

Who?

But if we manage to pull it off, how good would it be? It’d almost be better than 2017 because we did it without one of our stars, proving a lot of opposition supporters wrong.

Would be amazing but we saw last year however hard it is to win the thing. Even as the supposed best team with very healthy list. Everything has to go right...and well...not a great start.

Chicken little peaheart comment

Ok, thanks

In Lunch
Out Rance
Nothing changed class wise from last year.

Yeah we didn't win last year. -_-

 

[AlorraVex]

Wishing all the best for Rance hopefully the suspected severity by the post injury assessment by the medico's is not reflected in the MRI scan tonight.

If Rance is unfortunate to require a lay off then David becomes our new leader and Dylan his direct deputy this will provide an enormous opportunity for these players to step up in their roles. These are fierce and proud men they will bleed out before letting Rance down.

We have Bachar and Nick highly capable backmen and Nathan who is more than a match for most opposition forwards.

Transitioning and integrating Ryan into the back six will be achieved the unit is tight and one hole will not sink the ship and I will be tipping Rance's presence will not disappear he will be there watching and they will lift knowing their general is wounded but looking on.

Hopefully what the magnet reveals will be kind to us tonight.

.

Bloody well said mate.

 

[Calcium Man]

Yes, but don't underestimate how important he is to the team and how good he is. He's been in charge down there for 5 years ,it's a massive blow.

It’s a blow for sure and narrows our margin of error, but WCE lost Gaff and Nicnat, dogs lost Bob etc... it’s another soldier up.

 

[Cotcho]

Yes, but don't underestimate how important he is to the team and how good he is. He's been in charge down there for 5 years ,it's a massive blow.

Yes. People dismissing the fact that over the last few years, in the last quarter of perhaps 4 or 5 games Rance saves 3 or 4 goals and proves to be the difference. There's a reason the oppo hate him so much and why they are all so delighted now that he's injured. He's the difference between finishing 17 wins and 14 wins. And I'm being serious about that.

 

[tropicaltiger]

Enter Garthwaite

Exactly, it happens, its footy, we need to suck it up about Alex. we will prosper.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Agreed. Caddy would really help at the moment.

Caddy is too slow, we need to fast track Ross, someone with mongrel and isn't afraid to get dirty.
Cotch was doing all the dirty work tonight, next week against Collingwood we will get smashed big time.
Our midfield won't stack up with the new rules and the AFL got their wish.

 

[Cotcho]

And now we have to sit through ****ing Mason Cox highlights all week in the lead up to the game. Fuuuuuu

 

[GoTigers2015]

Out rance inj/Weller

In Garth/jock ross

Balta worries me has no tank can’t carry him

His tank is not bad, it will take him awhile to get up to speed in the AFL.

 

[db26]

See the same issue as in 2018 and in the JLT series and opener today getting our hand on the footy first in centre bounces and winning clearances unless we improve that we could be in trouble.

 

[Sol23]

I’ve been dying to see Garth in the side.... shattered for rancey but looking forward to Garth

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Correct. He has a massive influence on games.

I think of Vlaustin, Grimes, Astbury, Houli... what a better four to lead two other players in the backline? Whether thats Short, Ellis, Garth, Balta, etc. What better hands than four incredible players, who all hold their own at the very least.

Rance is incredible, no doubt, but these things happen. Garth will get a second or third tall. Yes, it might be an issue sometimes, but we'll have to work it out.

I'd be more concerned about our midfield (clearances) though, but that's another story.

He'll have a whole year to get used to AFL level as well

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Carlton were a lot cleaner in the middle, we seem to fumble all night.

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

Blues ferals booing Rance as he was taken off the ground injured is a new low for those scum sucking cellar dwellers.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

People keep saying that Garth has big shoes to fill...... What a ridiculous statement. Astbury and Grimes have big shoes to fill... Garth will come in and play a role but let's not make him the new rance. The backline has to adjust accordingly as a unit, great test for us now.

 

[Daffytrain]

Lynch - really needs some marking drills - dropped a heap of ball tonight

That's just rust. Wait a few weeks and he will be clunking them. My jizz will be everywhere.

You cant force an inside mid in to fast track. He needs time, and seasons in the gym to harden the body and build the motor. Throwing him into the bottom of packs against guys like Cripps or midfields like the Pies or Demons just wont work.

I think he will be a player, but he isnt the answer to our inside mids this year.

 

[TiggerDK]

Butler was putrid in the JLT, and putrid again tonight. Needs a few weeks in the 2s.

Short's stat sheet suggests he had a decent game, but I thought the new rules exposed him defensively.
We can't afford to carry a bloke just because he's good at kick-outs... Especially without Rance.

I actually thought Short did some excellent defensive work and cracked in hard a few times.
More than I remember last year. Didn’t think his kicking tonight was very special at all.

 

[Meli]

Shattered about Rance, but it gives Garthwaite an opportunity now.

Yeah same...upset about Rance but excited to see Garthwaite get more opportunity. I really liked him in the few games he played last year so will be good to see how he goes....
