Autopsy Round 2 vs Brisbane Lions

[Kanga Glory]

2nd half we died in the arse-

 

[Financialpanther]

Looks likely to be the season we had have and it’s painful but necessary. If the lion field kicking was up to standard in the first term, this would have never have been this close. Good signs in the kids and that’s what this season should be about - otherwise, the broom to come through at season end

 

[billnats]

Didn’t mind the Campbell inclusion. But doesn’t help when he and Brown go for the exact same ball in our forward 50.

Simpkin and LMac really shouldn’t have a sniff next week.

Cunnington should have a statue erected for him at Arden Street. Problem is, they’ll prob make him build it himself because no one else is willing to work.

Brad’s response: Bailey Scott out for Ahern

 

[Elite Master]

Yeah, I've found the Simpkin out calls surprising, but he has to go after that. As does LMac, but that will never happen. I don't even know where to go from here. The defensive application at ground level was just disgraceful today.

There's been nothing "Shinboner" about the last two weeks, that all comes back to the coach.

Hall and Polec are more of a chance of being dropped than Simpkin and LMac.

 

[ohh_v]

Can we delist a player during a season? I feel actual anger at the sight of McDonald.

 

[Rod Stroker]

We allowed them to kick 50 points from the 26 min mark of the third. Pathetic.

 

[Groin guru]

 

[conwaynmfc]

Absolutely boring to watch, over-spoiled in the 90's. Can't get into this bunch of clowns over the past few years. Door won't hit my arse on the way out.
I'm annoyed my interest has lessened over the years. Oh well.

 

[Shermanator]

0 & 2?.... Steaming pile of poo..

 

[Page8383]

Well done to the lions 2-0.
We need a catalyst for change.
Never finished top 4 under Scott. This list isn’t that bad - he just never seems to challenge the players so we never really get better not have the tools to deal with the tight games on the field.
Just swing the axe - seriously how bad can it be.
Send one of the golden boys like McDonald to the VFL to put the frighteners up the group.
I know we’re light on defenders but maybe Murphy or someone hungry can come in.
What did we lay about 35 tackles for the arvo
Don’t need to be a superstar to lay a tackle - I’m sure anyone stepping up from the VFL should be able to handle it

Luke McDonald's kick inside 50 with 3 mins to go lost that game for us. NMFC players everywhere & he picks out two Lions players.

Inexcusable from a guy about to play 100 games. Doesn't really have any discerning attribute, just plain average all around. Need to move on from.

 

[GeordieRoo]

20 points up during the second half and lose...it's a standard Brad Scott performance.

Rinse and repeat.

 

[Rod Stroker]

All those who still want Brad as coach can **** right off! I've said for years he is not our next premiership coach. We are going nowhere with him in the box.

 

[Liam Boy]

The saddest thing is you could see Aaron Hall really really wanted to win. Teammates let him down

 

[Skarrz]

I’ve sat at the G in the rain and watched us get flogged by 100 points, I sat and watched every second of the game against freo last week. After today for the first time I can remember I actually just cannot be ****ed wasting my time and energy as much as I used to until something changes. Sounds bandwagon-ish but I can’t even see any positives right now

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Our middle tier & most senior players let us down today. Simpkin, McDonald, Turner, atley, JZ, Goldie, Taz, etc were all trash. Higgo & Cunners the standouts, but Pollak, LDU, Scott all showed something. Dissapointed but not surprised.

 

[Only Forwards]

LOL.

 

[Carlos Herrrnandez]

Back the boys in - like Scotty. He knows best.

What round will we start handballing so my much we handball for goal?

 

[trooroo4life]

Same stupid errors from the usual suspects have cost us 4 points. Badly exposed in the second half.

Find a forward mix that works ASAP, Brown, Ziebell and Campbell defensively is just an invitation for a good defence to absolutely slaughter us. Turner was a little bit better, but still don’t see him as a small forward. Try someone else.

McDonald and Simpkin should be kitting up for the magoos next week, and the forseable future.

Slight steps in the right direction early, then went into hiding in the second half and left it up to a few blokes to do it all. Shit needs to change immediately.

 

[Waynesworld]

We have some dumb footballers and a dumb coach.

Putting Marley back on injured was a dumb move.

LMac makes dumb decisions every time.

Jack made numerous dumb decisions in the forward line.

Playing Tyson over Ahern is dumb.

As does playing Simpkin full stop at the moment. He is bereft of any confidence whatsoever. Dumb

Lmac needs to go for Murphy.

 

[Page8383]

Doesn't matter what happens this year, Scott will see through his contract until the end of 2020. We could finish bottom 4 this year and then mid-table next, and the club will be stupid enough to once again extend Scott's contract. Wood, McDonald, Turner , Simpkin will all still be on the list and get regular games, and we will still be fielding one of the oldest teams. Nothing will ever change.

I’ve patiently waited out enough Brad Scott contracts only to see a premature extension time and time again.
Surely he sees the life of this one before we sign him or any other coaches. I’ll setup a Gofundme page to pay him out if Buckley renews him again
He can coach the last year in 2020 under a heat lamp or resign if he doesn’t like it. No more free rides
No accountability in this administration

 

[rippersnipper]

Our disposal, decision making, and fitness are all still well below par. I'm not sure how you can coach a team for 9 years and never make an improvement in any of these areas. We need to stop finishing 10th and just cop a couple of bad seasons to get in some more talent - both big and small

 

[mouncey2franklin]

At least we know that Ben10 still has elite games in him yet. What a performance.

Polec and Hall are silk when they are up and about. Promising signs.

LDU and Scott did some good things, need to get more of the ball but hopefully a sign of things to come.

McKay did some good things. Persist.

Simpkin is looking like a dud. Needs a spell in the magoos. Immediately. He still has a future ahead of him.

McDonald is looking like a dud. Needs a spell in the magoos. Immediately.

Not sold on Tyson, but Pittard was okay.

What is going on with Ziebell? Seriously. Macmillan squibbed it late in the game. These are our 'leaders'?

Brown looked slightly better. Tarrant will improve.

Hawthorn might destroy us.

 

[Drew23]

&$#@ off Simpkin, your X factor and skill means nothing when you prance around like a &#+@ing fairy. You're not fit to tie aherns shoelaces.

Brad you can get $#&@ed as well. You have built a list and a culture that displays zero defensive accountability and some of the worst decision making in the AFL.

 

[darko]

Someone needs to have a sit down with Jy and ask him if he wants to be a AFL player because at the moment he doesn't look like he wants to be one.
