Game Day 2023 Round 13 Sydney v St Kilda Thursday 8 June 7:10pm @ SCG

Rampe looked cooked, ill presume lacked fitness

But if we are looking at Buddy , then look down the other end

He sure did

Let’s not forget his age also

Last qtr surprised me actually. It really didn’t feel like they’d just breeze past us with a minimum of fuss. I suppose I should’ve expected it after the Collingwood, Port and GWS games, but I really thought we were getting fitter. We were able to run games out the past two weeks, so I was hoping we turned a corner fitness wise. This was a reality check. We’re outrageously unfit. How does that even happen?

yep worrying

Hopefully rust

I agree.

Looked better in his first 1-3 years than he does now

At least we saw Heeney take big marks 5 years ago, that has not been a feature this season sadly and he should be in his prime

 

[Wolfgang West]

Opportune time for Stephens, HHK, Warner and Konstanty to have good games tomorrow. Couple of spots up for grabs I reckon.

Who’s spots are up for grabs ?

 

[The King!]

Hickey isnt fit, or is cooked

 

[Punts]

Been running out of puff all year

Obviously not fit enough and what they do in pre season

 

[Citrus22]

Not sure about the arguments that we’re soft, seriously the players were throwing themselves at the ball all night.

What we lacked was composure amongst the pressure, particularly in the 4th quarter.

Autopsy thread up

Autopsy - The sinners go down by 14 pts to the Halo polishers

Horrible game of football, deplorable skills and disgraceful umpiring (affecting both sides). Stop putting ******* Papley in for the centre bounce. Sheldrick handy inside, should stay in the team. Campbell our best IMO. And no Hickey from mid 4Q, another guy out? (Not that it particularly...

Hicky will struggle to go again next season

Help us if rampe pulls the pin to

 

[J_Moore]

Showed some promising signs early this year but I agree. There's been a lot of hope hung on about 8 or 9 good quarters of footy over his entire career.

I think Logan will be a good player but anyone thinking we're completely set with Logan, McLean and Amartey as our our KP forwards for the next decade might be in for a shock.

most of the goals he kicked at the start of the year weren’t particularly convincing either, tbh

Ran out of puff again!

And we still can't kick for goal!

FFS..........

 

[lazy77]

Rampe was ok in the first half. Probably just got tired in the second. He hadn’t played in a while.

Amartey was singularly terrible, which was predictable. An inexplicable sub.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Was infuriating seeing lots of legal tackles getting penalized as “dangerous”. This game is getting ruined

We beat ourselves but what is infuriating is the amount of times we don’t get rewarded for holding the ball incorrect disposal, ball jolts free, we win it get tackled and pinged instantly. It’s farcical how we get bent over most weeks and we meekly retreat to next week without one ****ing word of displeasure from the club. Over it.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Lets be real, this sport is played 90% above the soldiers.

We didnt draft bad kicks all of a sudden. Its a product of where the team is at. Low on confidence, players look lost. Instinct is the first thing to disappear when you have this sort of season.

That’s why Florent is a liability. One of our only players who can get into space then hangs onto the football a fraction too long making his decisions

The kick out run was ridiculous but so many times he’s free bursting up ground but just before the disposal the pressure comes purely as his brain doesn’t tick over.

 

[swanssince2002]

Maybe last year was indeed the last gasp for the core from 2011-2016, then making the GF was a shock to them. Buddy, Rampe, Parker, JPK, Reid etc

The inevitable collapse came earlier than we thought.

 

[Wolfgang West]

I know he’s a champion of the game - but Buddy had a stinker.

Go to bed Quack Quack.

Hickey you're probably right but if we don't draft another ruck then might be worth hanging on to as backup.

Rampe, although 33 probably deserves a few more games this year before we call curtains on him given the form he was in pre injury. Not like he was struggling

 

[legend166]

I think we've made some very poor list decisions with who we've chosen to retain on long term contracts. Heeney was poor again tonight and would have to be one of the biggest underperformers in the league relative to contract length. I reckon we've done the same with Blakey, but I guess time will tell.

 

[legend166]

Who’s spots are up for grabs ?

If we play Wicks again I'll microwave my membership (not really I'm not a member any more). But seriously just a bad footballer with serious little man syndrome.
