Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Sydney, Rd 5 2019 & changes for Melbourne

[Mr Unbelievable]

Stack, Edwards, Houli is a serious rebounding unit by the way.

I'm a big Short fan but his injury is seriously unfortunate for him.

Yes they are ... remember when we only had bowden and we ONLY gave him the ball to rebound .....
Also noticed that Stack must really impress at training .... it seemed to me players are encouraging him to run with the ball and deliver, cant remember an exact instance but I think at least a couple times that happened.

Tom Browne has said 5 day break a couple of times.
Can't even count

Tom brown needs to take a 5 YEAR break

I would nearly leave them out another game in fact that’s what I’d do.
Long season ahead and all of a sudden we are in a position to not rush them. It’ll let the team sort itself out further too seems harsh to drop anyone. If he wasn’t Tom Lynch he’d be out for Jack as a straight swap after tonight. Balta has to stay for his input and ruck relief, Bolton would be stiff i’d drop Castagna first.
But for me let the same blokes go around again.

Bit hard to do anything when the delivery inside 50 was shithouse.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Higgins looks a bit off. I’m sure he’ll come good.

He does look a bit off ... maybe needs a rest or back in the twos

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Want to toast the big fella Tom lynch wasn’t his night tonight being honest he got outplayed by a very good footballer in rampe with help from Allir but he never dropped his head and competed hard all night had 4 tackles the same as stack/Prestia/broad and baker and the only players with more in our side was caddy 5/Macca 6 and castagna with 8

Has really bought into the Richmond way and set up a few goals with crashing packs works hard and is averaging 3 goals a game lucky to have him

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Duz returns to stellar form.
I haven't seen the full replay but I saw the post-match and Dimma said Riewoldt is likely to play.
In: Riewoldt
Out: Higgins
Probably a line-ball between Bolton and Higgins but Bolton had 6 inside-50s which is positive.
Once he is on the run he is virtually impossible to stop.

Can’t hurt.

Nice we have the depth to swap him out

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Cotchin basically ruled himself out of Wednesday when he was interviewed pre game

Mind Games ???

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Higgins looks a bit off. I’m sure he’ll come good.

Had it 25 times with 5 tackles @72% judged harshly is snags

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

Can I just say....Any campaigner suggesting Balta will be dropped for Jack needs to then say who is going to do ruck duties in the same post.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Pretty shit game of footy all round tonight but very happy to get the points with no injuries and mores games in the young lads.. all are adding something in their each right.

Reiwoldt a must in obviously... really not sure who he replaces... Baker I think but would be extremely stiff
Possibly houli (managed) for menadue too

 

[DustinsGuns]

Reckon the outs will come from the following:
Balta
Houli
Stack
Ross

Balta because like for like. Houli due to recovery, and stack/Ross due to not having the tank

Will be interesting though as I don’t think a single player had a bad game tonight (other than lynch, and he’s going nowhere)

 

[30YearsOfPain]

Had it 25 times with 5 tackles @72% judged harshly is snags

Really?

Maybe because he is not playing like he did it looks different. Maybe he has a different role this year.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Snags.

 

[tropicaltiger]

I thought he was very good
25 possies
5 tackles he was solid tonight in midfield

Higgs was good but very sloppy, knows how to get a hold of the pill, but a bit of a butcher tonight

 

[Big Unit 30]

We play there in a few weeks haha

Farq.... dislike

 

[Karp3_dm]

Anyone else getting the feeling that balta could tear a game apart soon?

Just as a big man that roams up and down the ground a bit like hogan or even the great koutifides

Certainly showing awesome signs... the kid doesn’t lack confidence that’s for sure

 

[cho cho]

Best umpiring this year and they were still disgraceful...Something needs to be done.. somebody needs to whoop ass

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Bit hard to do anything when the delivery inside 50 was shithouse.

It wasn’t great but he got his hands to a few, he snapped one over his shoulder when he had handball options on, missed a sitter and gave away a silly free all those went straight up the other end for scores straight away.
Doesn’t matter not here to bash him I’m just saying all things being equal he was easily our worst but won’t be dropped, and really who can you drop!
It’s a good thing not a bad thing, means we have shitloads of scope for improvement on top of the obvious inclusions to come.

 

[tropicaltiger]

Great stat that....if dusty can surpass KB, he will pick up a handful of brownlows on the way

 

[Dustin Credible]

Last week was a famous victory...but I think we looked so much better today. More aggressive, more intense, loved it.

Looked at the stats and was surprised at how low McIntosh's figures were...felt like he was in everything, he had a great game...just goes to show stats aren't everything.

Balta, Stack and Ross

If Riewoldt comes in, not sure who for. Castagna, Baker and Bolton all did some good things and had a few mistakes, maybe Rioli if he has a knock and can't turn it around in 4 days.... I hope it isn't for Balta.

 

[Waca Jr]

Just cruised to the line in the second half. Sydney Stack looks like he has already played 100 games very good to watch live. Not sure who they will "manage" but someone has to make way for jack. Tim Lunch well down on previous weeks. Having Jack back may help his cause. All I know is of Sydney were missing Franklin and Nafan's brother they wouldn't score.

 

[shaky]

A good win, umps chucked on the sandpaper glove in the last quarter though

I think they were running out of things to make up by the end!

 

[exceptional design]

Equal 2nd on the ladder for games won so far.
Not too bad after 5 rounds and injuries.

Hope Hawks, Crows, Dogs win.

 

[SouthernStripes]

Think we’ve finally found our ‘silk’ in Stacky - makes the Corey Ellis version look like cheap, flammable polyester

 

[jumpinjimmy]

Thought George was really good tonight. His pressure and tackling is elite!
Great to see him kick a set shot too. His skills should improve with some confidence

Yes, he improved today but someone has to make way for Jack. Both Shia and Liam can rotate through the centre, George coughing up the pill in that area would be too much to bear.
