Review Adelaide v Essendon - Rd 18

[BRL121]

O'Brien dreadful. Does he have sprigs on his boots? My love for Draper confirmed.
Pedlar needs to adjust to speed of game: a little slow.
Sloane abysmally slow, giving up the chase early.
Thiltthorpe needs a rest.

Murray very good.
Schoenberg good.
Seed still trying, Smith OK.

Midfield well down on normal performance.

Ugly: total team performance: we are in a slump that will last to the end of the year. No more wins.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Murray and Schoenberg. Seedsman too, I guess. That's it

Everything else deplorable. Gameplan, players and all

 

[Geoffa32]

Schoenberg break out game. 1 positive.


Started the game with less intensity than a Captain's run.

Pathetic effort by most, the tone set with the method of play the coaches set.

Good: The games over

 

[Geoffa32]

We have set up pick 2.

0.1 above Hawthorn's percentage, starting the game at 84.2.

has given us our first wooden spoon and now our lowest ever score.

Mutineer is this what you meant by how much he has transformed the club on and off field?

 

[Iron]

What sport were we playing

 

[Barneythecrab]

Hamil and shoenberg

davis should have been played, has something.

Murray’s game was good

geez 2 more years of Sloane.

Beat you, mate.

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Depressing - we will never challenge with ROB, Rowe, McHenry, and the obvious Frampton in our squad.

Hawks play Freo in Tas tomorrow, a win there would be nice.

 

[Dewy006]

Positive: I was due to fly over to Melbourne for this game from Perth. Had to cancel due to travel restrictions. Thank * for COVID.

 

[Dockzy]

God we are hard to watch sometimes
I know we are rebuilding but we have so many areas to target come draft/trade period
pace and skills all over the ground a genuine A grade midfielder, a key forward to help Thilthorpe really need to nail this upcoming draft and the next and continue getting games into the kids

 

[Mr_Moogle]

fu** off

You do overrate Nicks.

....and our garbage recruiters.

To be fair, last year was the worst year to have a massive list turnover and he has done everything right until this game, if he did instruct the group to play this horrible game style in the 1st half then it's on him and his first mistake he has done.

 

[Carmo]

cant really talk about forwards or backs too much since we got dismantled in the mid so bad

Bring in Lynch this week, could really use a bit of experience to help out, it hurt when we lost doedee

I swear McAsey last year wasn't any worse than any and all of the forwards we've tried this year except tex

davis was serviceable but still think he's delist material

shoenberg was great

can we get a holding the ball anymore??

our mids, running into each other ffs. why not bring in another ruckmen and lose a mid. give rob a chop out and give our mids some good looks and have one less mid to run into the way of the other mids.

frampton did good and bad, looked ok in defense

fn posters, i reckon we're running at a poster about every 5th scoring shot between last week and this week

 

[ams4crows]

Schoenberg was good everything else was catastrophic.

This also shows how important Tex still is to our side. Or alternatively how important it is to accurate goal kickers in the side

 

[Danger in Texas]

Lowest score ever... no way of polishing that turd

 

[radzyb]

F Me:

Chip, chip, chip

Murphy
Rowe
OBrien
Sloane
Keays
Frampton
McHenry

Pretty sure most of those are here every week

OK:
Seed
Schoenberg
Butts
Murray
Jones
Pedlar

 

[Golumless]

Yikes. It probably cements that we really need to draft a 2nd tall forward, and probably need to resign Tex to 2023.

Good.

Schoenberg. Went head to head with one of the best midfielders in the comp and beat him.
Murray had a good game.
Jones played well. Overcommitted a couple of times, but there was a genuine hardness and desire to his game.
Didn't mind Hamills game either.

Deplorable.

Our coaches panicked by the lost of Tex, and our players knew it. That was one of the most deplorable, and disinterested efforts I've ever seen from this club.
Laird was a . I don't think he got out of a jog all night.
Look, I get it Sloane, you want to show off how brave and tough you are. Don't. Get surgery. You truly looked like the game had passed you by there.
Doedee getting injured.
Seedsman potentially being injured.

Yeah. I'm just going to quickly forget about this one, and move on with my life.

- 14 touches, that's what we love to see from our experienced midfielder, setting the tone for the team and hitting his KPIs

- such a warrior, had an excellent game given he's playing with his finger snapped in half, hope he keeps pushing through to provide all that valuable leadership for us

Coaching - excellent tactics I thought to play a very slow, defensive game against one of the fastest teams in the AFL at a fast deck

Players to drop: McHenry, Pedlar, Berry, Hamill, Thilthorpe - need to bring in experienced heads like Tom Lynch

 

[Geoffa32]

If we are not tanking, there are genuine concerns about this coaching panel's philosophy on how to play.


Given how great we have played this year , to start the game with circle work and less intensity than a Captain's run suggest we were never serious about winning this game.


Frampton instead of Fog. One guy kicks goals, the other has good hair.

With Tex out, how is Fog not an automatic selection.

Well Horne or Roberts are still a chance
