Autopsy 2022 Round 6 GWS v St Kilda, 7.50pm @ Manuka Oval, Friday 22 April

[Colonial]

Whitfield is tough and trying hard, but he must be seriously hurting. Not even attempting to chase Hill just before halftime was a sure sign he’s not right. Whatever is wrong with him is impacting his kicking too.

If he is injured don’t play him, he is signed long term and a gun, let him heal ffs.

 

[Teeso]

New players give it a go initially but we train them out of it because none of our midfielders are capable of hitting a player on a lead and just bomb it long on to their heads.

If we are going to play this scrappy brand of footy, we should just lock down outside run completely and have deBoer and Ash tagging both wingmen

 

[GWS Goose]

good second qtarter

 

[Hendo_21]

Callaghan's handballing has been fantastic tonight, multiple times been in traffic and under pressure and delivered accurate hand balls to keep things moving along

 

[Giant Strides]

Nup, lost whatever it was, and we're s**t again.

It's his liver, was in hospital for a week during preseason.

 

[Section226]

The backline is uncoordinated and confused on positioning.

As expected though with players who haven't had the opportunity to gel.

Himmelberg - for the rest of this game, take the first option.

Stop being a smart alec. That's caught holding the ball twice.

 

[Giant Strides]

FFS

 

[Colonial]

Callaghan got hit high, which led to the Saints 1st goal this quarter, then they got their tails up.

 

[Colonial]

Ffs
3rd quarter eh?

 

[Section226]

So Idun is now in the backline and the half-forward-kick-directly-to-the-opposition-in-the-forward-50 stat goes up 1.

This team is frustrating on so many levels.

 

[EmeraldBimbo]

At half time it looked like we had righted the derailment, but looks like it is still a train wreck.

Yikes. Hope it comes good.

 

[Section226]

And now Himmelberg is in the backline.

Stein playing forward.

Seriously, Leon.......

HH plays for more free kicks than actual marks, not a fan. Another mark in defence missed, not surprised. They should play him as a leading forward given his agility.

There is no way a team can settle if they don't know where they are going to be placed in any quarter

Rough quarter for Himmelberg

Rather than sorting out structural issues, Leon trying to give the whole team dual position status in supercoach. An actual lunatic this man.

 

[Orange Agent]

6 rounds in and I'm not quite sure what the game plan is. Seems just handball around until somebody is under pressure and forced to kick, which is then just a hack fwd and pray somebody can mark it.

 

[Giant Strides]

Rough quarter for Himmelberg

Yeah, mind you, that last penalty against him was rubbish. Strong tackle that knocks the ball out - he can't suddenly stop the tackle midway through just because the initial hit was so good. It should have been a free to him, not against.

Unfortunately, yes. I think he's just run out of ideas.

 

[Colonial]

Leon is struggling badly.

Moving players all over the ground positional wise.
The players don’t know if they are Arthur or Martha.

 

[Teeso]

Unfortunately, yes. I think he's just run out of ideas.

Not sure he had many ideas to start with. Which as a coach unfortunately is a problem. He could be a wellbeing manager or something, seems like a nice guy.

A quarter to be proven wrong, but not even Toby Greene

can pull this team out of it's malaise.

Can't win a game with only 1 good quarter.
