Autopsy Autopsy vs Freo - ****

[LB2Snake]

RHJ was great after coming on

Can see why we persist with him. His skill set is beautiful. Needs games.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Not getting my hopes up. Those pricks always turn it on for us.

They barely beat the injury ravaged rabble from Tulla

 

[The Nostradamus]

0 tackles. I've appreciated his effort but he should be let go.

RHJ doesn’t like contact

Only likes time and space with the ball

That rarely happens at the level and not sustainable long term

Nearly the perfect sub. Everyone is usually cooked and there is space everywhere.

Next week will be instructive.

Typically we take little mini patches of form like this, soak up a bit of positive media sentiment and then shit in our supporters faces.

If we're true to recent patterns we'll play Carlton into form and lose by 50+.

Fingers crossed we actually take out a meaningful opponent with something on the line.

Will be a far bigger mark of progress than this week

 

[BigRedRoo]

Growing pains.

A lot to like in how the game was played, lot of pressure, won the first Q, Tackles inside F50, forced a lot of turnovers, back six looking far more organized, FOS and McK coming on very quickly, RHJ gave us run and speed when we needed it, fought the game out until the end, didn't drop our heads.

I feel we are close to the next phase, a bit of tweaking and we will start the uplift.

 

[flojo]

RHJ hands down our best f50 kicker.

 

[Bowski]

****, indeed.

If we hadn’t trotted out our trademark 5-minute bed-shitting display, we might’ve pinched it. Freo being crap and missing sitters really flattered us.

Larkey gave us an exciting five-minute burst but was woeful for most of the game. Petulant culture killer.

Simpkin sucks. Really wish the club had the minerals to make Parker captain from the outset.

Riley, Sheezel, Bobby, Parker, and Darling were rock solid — Bobby in particular, massive impact as the sub.

Xerri was great in his 1 on 6 match up. Two rucks and 4 whistle blowers is a hard hill to climb.

Lmac was largely decent, but as always, you can set your watch to his three guaranteed brain fades.

LDU had a brilliant first quarter before seemingly getting abducted by Corey Wagner, of all people, who then absolutely pantsed him. That bounce… Jaysus wept.

George similar, manic 1st quarter, then his Datsun 200B engine can't keep up. So much is tied to his fitness improving.

— stay in Perth. You can live under Kal Dawson’s bottom lip once he’s delisted.

Powell — when does the growing up start?

Pink was good for seven minutes, then it was like he dipped his hands in Vaseline and his brain in maple syrup.

Stephens has had a good season, but that was a shocker.

Yes, the comeback was exciting — but when is this team going to put in a proper four-quarter effort and invest in some goddamn skills sessions?

 

[Masked Avenger]

Apart from falling asleep in the second quarter, much superior performance to last week.

We're two or three solid players from winning those games.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Imagine if they paid that HTB call to Larkey in the goal square. I'd back him 1000 out of 1000 kicks from there.

And we can add to our list with our early draft pick in this years draft oh wait

 

[flojo]

Most annoying with LDUs wing run. Yes the ball didn’t bounce and you fumbled… but it’s just that you stopped dead and stopped fighting for it. Was he waiting for a free kick whistle?

 

[Brian Fontana]

That’s the best game we’ve played all season and the tackling was great. Just that patch in theb2nd. If they can bring that week in week out we will win more games that we lose. Would be huge if we could recruit a weddle/battle/Idun type from somewhere to replace Dawson. Fisher is no good. Give banch a go.

Stopped reading at the Simpkin comment..the guy's having a good year. Recency bias much??

To be fair everyone in the stadium including players thought it was a free kick.

Amazing how 4 idiots are the only ones who didn’t.

Wow read all this and your takes are absolutely terrible mate. Have a spell.

Fyfe was about to hand the ball to him.

He was beaten around the head.

 

[Its a Process]

Stopped reading at the Simpkin comment..the guys having a good year. Recency bias much??

Also bagged Dyl Stephens - thought he was decent tonight as well.

 

[Ischenko]

All the stats as well watching our on-field performances show we are an improving team, but I'm just as frustrated as previous seasons.

The "final step" in our development, winning the close games, seems to be the biggest and hardest step to overcome.

I know last week’s game was forgettable but even so…

 

[Dinkers]

Look enough about Pink , but Logue has also has his share of doubters. What he has is a big arse as is hard to move. Thought he was good.

 

[Hojuman]

Just hate football ( full stop . )

 

[franjon]

Had all the momentum and adrenaline.

We'll need to learn composure.

We'll need to learn list managers.
Parker excellent in the last. With some midfield teammates, could've almost dragged them across the line.

 

[flojo]

How about LMacs handball that went 2 meters hey??? Funny stuff cause we all knew it was going to happen.

 

[Outtatym]

Stopped reading at the Simpkin comment..the guys having a good year. Recency bias much??

I wouldnt call it good.
Hasn't been the same since that StKilda flog sniped him.

To be fair he wasn’t the only player who stopped assuming he would get the free there
