Autopsy Round 5 2019 Swans Vs Tigers

[Cadsky]

Give him a SCG send off hopefully with a win.

dont kid yourself. more chance of beating richmond in melbourne than gold coast in sydney

 

[kickthething]

He does, he should retire. The game has passed him by because he was one of the toughest bastards I’ve ever seen on a footy field!

His emotion before and after the game may suggest he will....it would be time....he has been a great warrior for the club and 250 games says it all.

 

[Olian]

We won the centre clearances

We won the turnovers again.

 

[mikey_san]

Should be his last match. Does that give us 2 picks at the mid season draft? Time will tell.

Worth his wheight in gold as the 2nds Captain and a call up if needed. HOLD.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Congrats KJ on 250 games - enjoy retirement

 

[stevie26]

Glass half full on that performance (except latter part of 2nd quarter). I rate Richmond's chances if they can maintain that pressure and running in waves style of footy. Dawson's best game and Rowbum showed he is not out of his depth at this level. Shout out to Rampe for his job on Lynch.
Play the kids John.

Wow the anti horse sentiment is strong here.

Will post my thoughts in detail later but grimlocks views about rampe need to be repeated. He deserved votes beating everyone in one on one. Contests and was burned repeatedly by the shocking decision making and skills up the field.i would be giving him votes in the Brownlow were I an umpire

And the handball to the stationary teammate - enough. Team rule stop handballing

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Would appreciate it you blokes would stop with the sexual assault lingo.

I agree!

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Worth his wheight in gold as the 2nds Captain and a call up if needed. HOLD.

He’ll be a ROK, I don’t want anyone treated like that ever again. That was ****ing poor!

 

[McRobie]

We are actually the worst team in the comp right now. Thats not emotional it’s the fact.
There is nothing good about what we do.
If we run with the same midfield group and forward group next week I’ll spew up.
22 forward 50 tackles to 2. Pathetic and insipid.
Horse fall on your sword mate.

Agree, actually overall defence was ok, Rampe was outstanding imo.

 

[6yearsold]

i bet lloyd is enjoying that fat contract he secured at the end of last season.

 

[melbournehammer]

Why ?

ROK was done. I presume a conversation was had - what else needs to happen ? What was wrong about that ?

 

[Former Decathlete]

Dawson, Clarke, Rowbottom and Thurlow were big ticks for me. Some good signs there.

We tried pretty hard overall.

 

[Longbombswans]

Outplayed for three quarters tonight by a team missing Rance, Riewoldt and Cotchin
Don't think the boys felt like they could win in the last - didn't seem to want to take the game on.
May have been related to how Richmond pressed up but still disappointing.

Rowbottom was decent on debut and Dawson was impressive. Ramps and JPK lead from the front
Jack disappointing in his 250th, Reid could not clunk a mark to save himself until the game was over and i thought Jones lacked composure.

Overall poor performance, hopefully the boys learn from it.

 

[The King!]

Agree re rampe he and bud had their best games of year

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

I actually think we play pretty well tonight. Richmond were on fire early. Pressure was exceptional.

We have a few down. Reid, Mills, Hewett not playing well. Clarke and Thurlow were better but not better enough. But at least they played like they were in our side.

I think if it was the Grand Final next week, I’d drop Ronke and leave Papley Forward.

But you have to have perspective. Richmond were excellent tonight and we were better than we have been all year. Just not as good as Richmond.

 

[Skhilton14]

Two behind the ball when you’re 6 goals down pretty much encapsulates everything.

I mean, we won’t win but at least we won’t get flogged, when did this become our motto?
Dunno if we were trying to stem the flow due to turnovers but I’m sick of seeing half our side in the backline and when we finally surge forward have nothing but Franklin 1 v 3.

Anyway, sometimes you’re just not up to it.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Why ?

ROK was done. I presume a conversation was had - what else needs to happen ? What was wrong about that ?

Jack is done. You assume a conversation was had? You can guarantee ROK was training and playing to play AFL but he didn’t know the inevitable. He was a shattered man.

 

[The King!]

Imagine if it wasnt Richmond’s vfl side

 

[legend166]

We got a heap of the ball tonight and completely wasted it. Really overpossesed it which lead to the turnovers.

 

[swansfan51]

Today's fun fact:

The teams who have beaten us are ranked 11th, 13th, 14th, 16th on the ladder

 

[stevie26]

Sinclair has lost confidence in his overhead marking. Was in perfect position to clunk at least 4 contested grabs.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Well done to dawson who played well but why were we playing a spare in defence when we were six goals behind?

Most probably to stop it being 12.

 

[MarkP]

i bet lloyd is enjoying that fat contract he secured at the end of last season.

Started poorly but improved out of sight as the game went on. He is not the issue.

List is fine. Want to blame it, blame the guy that built it.

Lost it the same way we have been losing them and just winning them over the last 4 years.

Needs a new plan, won't happen.

Harry good. If playing Jack he plays Hewetts role - release George. RB good. AA quiet. Rampe back in some form, Florent improving,

New mantra should be play in regardless.

There is only one issue with the side and that is the guy in charge. He needs to grow a set else this will end up a disaster.

Poor Buddy. Should be the greatest goal kicker of all time. Horse will deny him that the ****er.
