AFL Autopsy RND 9: Overtaken By The Giants

[Harlequin]

Oh well

 

[HirdsTheWord]

nothing honourable about that.

good experience for the kids though.

onto next week.

 

[Andronicus]

So many positives and doesn't affect our draft hand.

I'm not even mad.

 

[Calthorpe14]

Better side lost. Just lacked a whole bunch of composure in the last qtr. We butchered it and they were clinical

 

[JayJ20]

Lost it as soon as Sharp went down

 

[MightyDon]

Thanks for your service Kyle but you can play out your contact in vfl

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Over when Sharp went down. Hopefully it’s not an AC joint.

 

[jannissary]

at least it wasn't another thumping. probably more disheartening but we did well.

need to tidy up disposal (as always), but there's a lot to work with.

langford YOU will be playing in the VFL next week

 

[Call Me Cake]

Held our own for most of the game and lost marginally to a more experienced side on their home deck. Draft pick unchanged. Not the worst result.

 

[WindyHillZephyr]

Green shoots coming from a pile of manure.

 

[doug85]

I’m disappointed we lost.

Robey and Sharp looked excellent.

 

[Pesche]

This feels worse than 100 point belting. At least there’s a sick twisted enjoyment at watching us get flogged

 

[ghostdog]

nothing honourable about that.

good experience for the kids though.

onto next week.

Lol whut?
We had 9 players under 21 and pushed GWS until the end. Completely honourable.

 

[gillon]

Effort was there, which is always great to see.

Side was too tall and too slow. We looked all-time bad on transition.

Parish and Merrett in the same midfield will never work, neither have the ability to absorb any contact. You could see a huge difference once Sharp went off.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

This feels worse than 100 point belting. At least there’s a sick twisted enjoyment at watching us get flogged

allowing a 50 point swing to a GWS with that injury list its pretty rough

but not losing by 50+ is still a positive I guess.

At least the kids got to feel what it was like to be in it.

 

[Phone]

we probably win that if we keep Stringer and Laverde

so, thank god we didn't.

some basic mistakes killed us (prior missing wright, robey missing the kick before GWS kicked a bunch in a row, etc) but plenty of positive signs too

 

[Pesche]

I couldn’t be more off Kyle Langford

. Needs to be dropped - 0 confidence he’ll convert his opportunities

 

[Duckworth]

Good up until the last bit, with a few shots and misses going forward. Had our chances. Could have used a speedy runner where the giants had a few.

 

[Hazardinho]

Brad Scott is shit as a coach it’s hilarious, mark neeld could have coached a 90 point win today with the amount of injuries they had. Anyways can’t wait till we get a good coach man, cause we will do a Melbourne next year and be in contention for a wildcard card round but I would keep Scott for the rest of the season and go get me a van hattum.

 

[bommer16]

We certainly have legit players in sharp and may. Robey is building nicely.

 

[jannissary]

nothing honourable about that.

good experience for the kids though.

onto next week.

this is a dumb statement, muscles. #DoBetter

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Lol whut?

look at GWS injury list..........

nothing honourable about allowing a ~50 point swing in the last Q IMO.

Was good to not get belted. But allowing that is not what id say is an honourable loss.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

I cannot wait until Robey is totally match fit with a few pre seasons behind him so he doesn't drift in and out of games and goes the whole time 100%. Beast. Sharp great in there as well. Shame but a glimpse of our future.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Good.

Competitiveness is important, it’s a far better base to build from than getting done by 15 goals.

 

[Loonerty]

Pressure just disappeared the moment we went 26 up
