Autopsy 8 point loss to Port

[Heeney2Franklin]

Awful for 3 quarters and ironically in the end kicked ourselves out of it.

Francis was terrific/McLean almost won us the game and lost it on his boot alone

Heeney was a lone hand

Honorable loss

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Appalling skills.

No excuses.

Season basically over.

 

[MarkP]

Sigh

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Logan has to be in next week and no more McCartin in the forward line

 

[MF]

Great games from Grundy, Rowbottom, Hayward, Francis and Heeney. McClean so close to a great game, just fluffed a few chances as did so many others.

At the end of the day we should have won with 7 more scoring shots. Just wasted so many opportunities inside 50

 

[The King!]

Worst loss of the season imo

Cant be bothered , the team wasn’t most of the day that’s why it lost]
And the social media calls for horse to come back, lol this is still the horse coaching team

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Francis 14 disposals, 3.1 in a single quarter.

 

[31400]

Horrible footy.

And who the hell is the Albino version of Stevic - Quacker?

 

[Punts]

Needed heeney to do all again , Cripps team atm.

Florent and Campbell are such disappointments of players.

Thought McLean made a good contest

not sure we chose the right coach

Port are average

 

[Citrus22]

We’re so all over the place and a bits and pieces team. Some really great moments of play followed by awful mistakes. Pressure was good. Forward line is makeshift.

Really did miss the class of Gulden and the opportunism of Papley tonight, think they would have thrived tonight. Great to see Francis take his opportunity and kick truly when the pressure was on.

Still feel there’s so much improvement left in the team which is the main positive- we make so many errors! These can be fixed.

At this stage this year is about the young kids showing something

Bice is special only one of a couple that is say did well today

Thought Cleary did some good things

Goalkicking pathetic and half were easy

 

[Superstar swan]

The coaching is an absolute shit show.

Mccartin
McLean
Francis
Hamling all played as the focal point up forward today.

How the hell are you meant to build any structure or consistency with that much change going on .

Give up on the mccartin forward move dean, it hasn’t worked, it won’t work like every one knew it wouldn’t

 

[melbournehammer]

I’ve been in the pick Francis camp for a while. He’s a big unit and he leads at the ball. He doesn’t strike me as fast enough to play in the backline but he does do good things forward of the ball

 

[bloodsbigot]

Takeaways from the game:

1) Umps were shit.
2) Ground was shit.
3) Heeney great as always.
4) McLean single-handedly lost the game.
5) Forwardline non-existent. Need players to at least bring the ball to ground.

 

[Citrus22]

5 behinds between Blakey and Campbell, very costly.

He reads the flight really well.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

you know the worst thing the fact we only lost by 9 means the coach won’t make calls

Lloyd needs to go for starters and Florent

 

[tombomb]

My Hawthorn supporting father texted me during the last quarter to say Warner isn't as good as he thinks he is.

I replied back that it is better than having an entire team that isn't as good as they think are.

Totally got the best of that little exchange.

 

[KingV23]

Tough loss to take. It doesn't get any easier next week going up against a Suns team who broke their undefeated streak with a loss to Richmond of all teams (sounds familiar ). New coach, new gameplan (?), injuries...it's just not our year.

 

[RampeRobe]

Hamling out, McCartin stays back, McDonald in.

Forward line of McLean, Francis, McDonald.

Hanily probably gets himself run in the twos as well..

Honorable loss ? I tipped this.

Young kids? nobody is knocking down the door or showing much of anything.

Oh but it was honorable !

 

[kickthething]

We lost that in the first obviously, some critical decisions were very ordinary in the last, both by players and umps. A few speculators at goal where there were options. Skills killed us, whenever we look like getting a run on w shite handball or kick killed it.

We absolutely stole defeat from the jaws of victory.

Two goals against to start the 3rd and 4th where rubbish

Gotta be able to beat the ordinary sides whilst we have the injuries so this one is a big loss.

McCartin needs a spell.

 

[Punts]

Few players need to be dropped and made there spot up for grabs again

They no what they can get away with

I honestly think some of the efforts the last 2 weeks is pretty damming , if that’s the effort they are giving there new coach
