Autopsy 2023 Round 1 DRAW. Ugly Blues still can't close out games

I'm with Ben.

Very strange cat is Ben

I don’t know what improvements to the game plan were focused on all preseason. It was glaringly obvious that the same weaknesses were present. Defensive transition was absolutely appalling.

But we did not win contested and our defence was resolute against 66 inside 50s

When will all our forwards work to keep the ball in the forward line? Its not just the smalls, Charlie does not chase and does not move around enough to lead and create space. It's pretty basic stuff but our gameplan must dictate that our attacks start from just outside the opposition's goal square.

This. Go watch Dunstall tapes. He wanted the entire game played in his 50 and chased and scragged accordingly.

We crucified SoS with a fabricated charge of conflict of interest. SoS is playing by our rules not his

Liddle an Logiudice are gone.
Holding a grudge like that is bad for the soul.

He’s so childish that if Jack was marrying Liddle’s daughter he probably wouldn’t show up at the wedding and disowned and never talked to Jack ever again…

And still think he was completely in the right

I’m glad we got the 100 out of the way because I don’t see Jack at the club after this year, we aren’t going to pay him top dollar and there will be clubs willing to offer more and a Dad that I think is hell bent on not wanting him to be there.

If Jack was marrying Liddle's daughter SoS would have a piece in his tux

MJ we conceded that many inside 50’s because we constantly bombed the ball back to them for repeat entry after repeat entry …

Agree but the point of my post is there is some improvement, many layers and additional players required

 

[My Hat]

I'm not.

Love SOS but it's a terrible look to not be there for his son's celebration, regardless of how bitter he is about his departure from the club.

Ben shouldn't be biting.

All of that can be true and it can still not be the general public's business.

You're right mate but i don't blame SOS one bit, what happened was a disgrace.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Thought he should have gone to Taranto in the 2nd qtr, certainly after half time

Ed straight to Danger for the whole match this week imo. Wear him like a glove

I think this behaviour justifies it, no one is free of any blame though SOS is always in the right

Perspective time:

Spoke with someone who has seen down the ground vision of the game plus other angles…

Tigers changed their game style to stifle ours. Wanted to do everything possible to flood corridor to stop any chance of quick delivery into our forward line, obviously their backs (all backs in the comp) can’t stop our talls one out. Tigers happy for us to switch as long as it was outside of corridor( outside of center square train lines). Cerra targeted, Saad targeted, Doc targeted all because of foot skills. Kennedy and Ed allowed to run to receive. Our HF’s dragged too far up the ground, mostly on fishing expeditions by HB’s which flooded the corridor. ‘Missing Williams run’.

Speed was an issue. Hollands was great, what a motor and great composure.

Tigers cut off our kicks to the 45 degrees which forced boundary line kicks, which take out one of our talls and makes it easier to defend and intercept. We went too slow at times for fear of error.

Walsh inclusion will straighten us up as he runs the corridor better than most at speed.

Better for the run and plenty to learn from. Pretty much the blue print when playing the Blues.

*worst player for the Pies to lose through injury…

Was there any feedback on what we did to stifle Richmond's game style?

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Nearly pinged his hamstring.

O’Brien has some great wheels at full pace, something we desperately need more of and rapt to see him back himself put the foot down and burn off Rioli, who’s no slouch himself…
The kick to Harry flat out was exquisite…

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

This. Go watch Dunstall tapes. He wanted the entire game played in his 50 and chased and scragged accordingly.

Charlie looked and played like a guy who'd been out on the piss till the early hours the previous night...

 

[thylacine60]

Interesting stat. Prestia only had 1 disposal in the last quarter after Curnow went to him. Could come in handy this year if a player is running hot

cooler curnow

All of that can be true and it can still not be the general public's business.

Yep. SOS is a former player and former list manager. The key word is “former”. I don’t have the energy for anyone that isn’t employed by this football club. I also think that JSOS gives less of a s**t about it than some of our supporters or members of the media.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Yep. That's little league stuff. Have at least one player standing off to take a handball.

And cover the multiple opposition players at times doing exactly that on their Pat Malone, when they win/flip it out at least make their exits not so easy…

For someone with elite endurance and running power - he doesn't do enough . Nick riewoldt would do more in a half than Charles did in 4 Q .. maybe that are his instructions

I think this headline is a little unfair… It’s a new season and I reckon there were far more good signs than bad. Watching the game over and there’s a lot of things that will put us in good stead for the rest of the year. Just got to work on our execution and keeping the concentration levels high no matter the environment. The roles of individuals, the shape of our team with and without the footy looks like it will hold up throughout the season. I’m feeling very optimistic on what’s to come.

 

[GT619]

To those that are defending LOB on that last play, yes - his kick was good and a Harry fell over but you needed to be at the game to see how it really unfolded. The TV coverage simply didn’t show it well at all because you don’t see Harry until the kick comes in.

When LOB received the ball, Harry was 40-50m clear, pretty much the only player in our fwd half. If LOB kicked it to him earlier he could have fallen over, re-tied his shoe laces, blown kisses to his mum, had a cup of tea and then strolled into an open goal. Each bounce he took significantly reduced Harry’s advantage.

Was an example of dumb football.

That's why they need to stop picking him.

He was the sub with about 8 guys on the injury list. I think they would if they could.. cupboards bare at the moment.

When you say it's a "terrible look" - who is the observer here and why does their opinion matter?

SOS has no current relationship with the CFC and therefore no obligation to them whatsoever. It's no secret that he didn't part with the club on good terms and now works for a rival club. We also don't know his exact motivations for not attending - he may have felt that poor relationship or previous conflict with several in attendance would create tension or awkwardness for Jack and the rest of the family.

He does have an obligation to his son and family, so if they have worked out things in private (possibly including a private celebration that none of us would even be aware of) and the whole family is happy, then why is there a story here other than media sensationalism?
