Autopsy 8 point loss to Essendon

[Benmacca33]

Agree with everything bar Hayward who was good today. 2 goals and could have kicked another. I do get the frustration with him in general given his inconsistencies.

That’s more what I was referring to he’s good stuff is brilliant just to big of a gap from his best and worst games

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Embarrassing lose to the Bombers…

I thought going into HT with 16 points was worse!

 

[Jack Lord]

6 pages in and no mention of Hayward. I thought he was gutsy in patches today but need much more from him.

 

[Kbroome]

Every week isn't it, you list the players by disposals and our best will be say 5th or 6th overall

Our midfielder's best possession count is 28 which would be lowest in the comp

Yet to have a mid get 30 and Roberts only guy to get 30 and it was once

It’s all the same thing really

Plays better injured

Thing is tho if the rest of the side is performing close to their best Hayward looks a heck of a lot better.

 

[Swans22]

Cox actually put him back late too. Concerning. Still don't think they have his role figured out, but at some point you have to force them to GIVE you a role. I think we all thought and hoped he did that in PS, but maybe not.

Campbell had the second most score involvements

 

[The King!]

Plays better injured

He really does , seems he fires up from a knock.

He battled hard

I wonder if Chad Warner

is starting to think he made the wrong decision, we aren’t much better than W/C and equally as bad as Freo and would have been getting a truck load more money playing in a sh*t team

I wonder if Chad Warner is starting to think he made the wrong decision, we aren’t much better than W/C and equally as bad as Freo and would have been getting a truck load more money playing in a sh*t team

I wonder if he might want to lead from the front and be best on ground at some stage this year .

 

[Superstar swan]

criticising Campbell because of his pick is idiotic. He was essentially a bonus pick through the academy

Logan was our pick , if we chose not to match the Campbell pick, it’s not like we could select anyone else lol. We just would not have got another player there.

Him being pick 5 is beyond a redundant discussion. He was literally bought with free money

 

[Swans22]

We need to find a couple of decent forwards this off season, our makeshift forward line would have to be the worst in the competition, until we address this we will be in the bottom half of the ladder sadly Before you say Amarty/Mclean they are not the answer and McDonald I don’t hold much hope for.

Amartey ain’t a gun but he a is a heaps better than any other KPf playing now and would make a big difference. One thing I do agree on is we need to target a more dominant KPF

 

[Jack Lord]

You just wonder how we'd be going if we had 3 or 4 of our decent players back. You reckon we win at least two more games.

One other problem with our injury list is it gives Cox an excuse that perhaps he doesnt' deserve.

heck me sorry I mentioned the pick, you can spin it however you want he still went there and was still rated highly.

But we also see these glimpses and highlights and talk about what he will do and then we just get 15 touches a week , he should and could be a lot better imo.

do i want to drop him? heck no he is fine, but he can be better than fine. He could be a top 10 pick level player imo.

All summer he was taking a step, he has his 3 year contract extension, other mids are out of his way and it's nothing different to any other year.

 

[Dangas]

That game was a shambles, 61 i50s is a joke as well as our kicking at goal. The club plays bursts of what made us dominant first half last year. 7 50s conceded another joke and surely has to be a record?

 

[DAZZA_75]

Also can we change boot companies, our players slip over more than any other team, it just frustrates me week after week players slipping over at crucial times.

Depends which players?

Chad was good today and last wee

I wonder if he might want to lead from the front and be best on ground at some stage this yea

Wasn’t he BOG last week? Thought he was solid today without being at his damaging best.

 

[The King!]

Yeah last week he was good it was a flippant comment at the suggestion he might regret staying , he has been ok in 2025 and not near last year. So rather than regret staying just lift !!

I also doubt he regrets staying though

That's a odd shit take.

Do you post when the boys win?

 

[Mister B]

I have absolutely no confidence in players or coach to turn this around. I see a bunch of blokes that don't care about the club and its history. They are all about themselves. Not one player on that field looks like they fear for their spot in the side despite their lack of effort and I honestly feel I am paying to be a member of a business not a footy club.

I rarely have regrets in life. I currently have two and that's having booked trips to Sydney to watch us play Adelaide, and Adelaide to watch us see Port. I'm almost considering just blowing the money spent on flights and pulling the pin.

 

[MarshallG]

A dark cloud of pestilence has befallen the team.

I can't see us moving forward with the current list next season.

I was a bit let down when Chad re-signed, then again I think by season's end his currency will have halved.

Don't know how we will/can do it but I think wholesale changes are required.

There is a woeful groupthink that only list changes can repair.

Shame it's hard to get players to move to NSW.

 

[Swans22]

Cox HAS to start Sheldrick next week! The last couple of games he has come on as sub he has kicked goals and racked up possessions.

 

[Punts]

Thought Grundy was ok but there were crucial moments he missed
