Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

[WCE_4_EVER]

CDT and Duursma gotta be the ****ing softest blokes I’ve seen.
Schoenberg-How this bloke gets a game is beyond me
Hewett-**** off back to wafl you dud
Champion- I rate you, but you genuinely are brain dead
Jobe- your a jet, but you gotta find a way to stay in games
Duursma- inability to hit targets with short handballs cooked ys.
Cole- VILLAGE
Duggan- one week it’s disposal efficiency the next week it’s making lefau look like a jet, seriously the wokest captain ever
Young- dont even have to say anything

Side note**
Umpires were putrid today, but isnt a valid excuse
WE ARE SHITHOUSE

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Surely someone needs to quiz Mini about the tactic of just bombing it in all the time? How is that considered a valid game plan???

 

[Cuzz09]

Meh, obvious result is obvious.

 

[Scotland]

The only positive is that a few more people might wake up to how much of a joke West Coast actually are.

Can't wait to hear about the plans we had in place and how need to support Harley.

But hey, we'd be lost without Baker and Graham apparently. They're a godsend.

There are only two available moves left this season. Drop the captain who has been a liability for 18 months. Or sack the coach.

 

[Xavi6]

Positives: It can't get worse.

[SAweagle]

It is getting there for me

What is the Mini gameplan here? At first it was fast chaotic football, lots of handballs

Now we're just chipping it around in defense and hack kicking it forward

We have a winnable game and we bring in Cole over an in form Gross or Bazzo

Why did we sack Simmo if we're just going to do the exact same thing?

Cole placed 8th in the 24' BnF mate please show respect.

Especially because we won 2 games off of running the ball.

Why the fu*k have we gone back to Simmo's gameplan, which hasnt worked for half a decade?

 

[Wce17]

After last weeks press conference, according to Mini we were playing too fast for the young guys?

So we change the gameplan mid season.... to deliberately just slow the game down, completely eliminate any overlap run and carry, wait for the oppo defence to set up, and then bomb it long to the forward pocket?

At what point do we just concede that McQ is an absolute nuffie and has no idea what he is doing?

Can't really do much when we have low IQ players. I doubt many would be able to teach this list. We still need a massive overhaul.

 

[Hoskin300]

We won't win anything without Graham/Dev in the middle, they were the only ones tackling and applying defensive pressure

The Yeo/Harley/Kelly trio are far too interested in charging forward any chance they get

The midfield clearly isnt the issue. Terrible skills going inside 50, getting slaughtered on transition and not being able to defend their key forwards.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Whether Allan needs a rest or didn’t do team rule x y or z, whatever it is…why the **** bring in Cole and give him repeat minutes on the wing.

When has Tom Cole ever been an option on the wing?

They thought Richmond would go small Up forward and got surprised when Balta played forward in reality.

They are that big a bunch of muppets for sure

we're getting slaughtered on transition because of the midfield, they all charge forward and get caught out

 

[stallon]

Randomly including Reid in your negatives makes sense from someone who was a Young supporter

What?

 

[Corn69]

Genuine question, why is Baker such a low IQ spud. Are we really investing time and money into this guy that has the skills of an auskicker.

 

[Hoskin300]

Disagree. Its the small defenders being ridiculously slow and not being able to keep up.

 

[Smotie2]

Mini called in the senior brigade for the B team Tigers and lost at home.

Nothing to be said really.

And it's exactly what Simpson was doing for 3 years and giving us shit for 3 years and we all thought a new coach would change it.

Nope...he's a ****ing useless spud

 

[uncleoatmeal]

Negatives: there were no positives

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Reporters at press conferences are too afraid to ask real questions.
We'll get the standard bulltish "what went wrong" and a reply of "we learned a lot".

Been learning from our losses for 5 years and still suck harder than any club in the league.

 

[Hoskin300]

Genuine question, why is Baker such a low IQ spud. Are we really investing time and money into this guy that has the skills of an auskicker.

Imagine giving away a top three draft pick for this guy

 

[unty11]

Can we stop this nonsense that Ginbey is a KPD. He's a medium sized defender.

 

[VicBased]

Positives: It can't get worse.

Another 15 games of 100 point floggings might change your mind.

 

[bzparkes]

Yeo finished with 11 tackles, to be fair. Still needs to be told to be the defensive guy though and be accountable, not look to be offensive.

 

[BeornJ]

Well I'm out for a while. Not good for my mental health to follow footy at the moment.

Also, Harley you gotta get out man. You could have an amazing career, or you could waste your time with this rabble.

I'd take Mick McCarthy as gaffer

 

[Elite Pete]

Hewett 2 disposals after quarter time.
