Autopsy Dogs 60 defeated by Swans 79 - Rd 17

Lots of players down on form and a few holes in the structure

Kudos to the Swans. They were clearly the better team on the day.

More pressure. More spread. Used the ball better. Set up well. They hunted us.

If you told me that Franklin, Papley and Heeney would score 2 goals between them for the day, I’d pencil in the win. So the Swans really have played a team game.

Our kicking was atrocious. Contested marking poor. Slow transition. We were strangled again.

Felt sorry for JUH. He tried hard but looked nervous. He seemed to apply some good pressure and got to some nice spots, but showed no capacity to take a mark. In fairness it wasn’t an easy day in our forward line.

We need a decent ruckman going forward. English must play as second in line only and play predominantly in the forward line. We looked a lot more dangerous with this set up.

Gold Coast will give us a good run next week. Hope we bounce back. Lots to improve.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Nowhere near as salty as some in the match thread. Take 6 of the starting 18 from any side and it's a miracle if they come within 3 goals of a good side. We need players back to have any hope of going deep in finals

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Tired effort today.

 

[doggie dog]

I struggle to think of 5 players that played to their season averages. Beaten all over the park.

 

[Testekill]

Hannan, Wallis offered nothing out there. JUH clearly not ready but if he's staying in then at least Naughton will draw more attention.

 

[Substance]

Jack Macrae's amazing record of 27 consecutive games of 30+ disposals comes to an end.

 

[Cam1967]

Never going to win every game. Can learn a lot from that loss. Adjust, move on to next week.

 

[Libba39]

Sydney played well.

Naughton is possibly our most important player. Hope we get him back next week.

 

[TheBont]

Everyone had a great game today. Specially English with his dead on accuracy and juhs hand skills were superb. Sorry to the lads I offended in the game thread. On to next week!

 

[Bulldogs85]

Hope the club ask Melbourne for a refund on Hannan just can’t defend him anymore and Jamarra can take this place

 

[Wetdog]

Outplayed all game, jamarra doesn’t look ready yet either.

He didn’t look ready in the VFL. So no surprise.

It was a tough day for our forward line but they didn’t help themselves dropping marks they should have taken (Wallis, Bruce and JUH).

 

[Pep_x]

At least we won the freekick count.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Weightman getting full of himself and thinking he can take mark of the year every contest because of 20 minutes against the wooden spooners. The amount of times he flew for the most unrealistic of marking attempts, the ball spills, we have no crumbers and they rebound was astounding.

 

[hatescaptcha]

Hopefully no injuries out of the game. Move on. We just didn’t click today. Let’s get back into some good form next week. Last few weeks we’ve looked off.

I know that there is a lot of hate for hannan on here, but I thought that he offered more than wallis did today. Wallis looked slow, constantly fumbled or dropped the ball and offered little to no pressure. Hannan at least offered an option, and hit a couple of nice passes.

Marra was a hell of a lot more dangerous than both.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Absolutely no doubt the Swans deserved the win.

Some of our misses in front of goal are well below league standard. The one English missed and then JJ running into an open goal 30 metres out in the early stages of the last quarter zapped any momentum

Hi, I am new here but I would like to say we missed Naughton today, he's worth 3-4 goals and pressure. Marrah didnt do too bad considering hes a first year player, but Naughton is a best 22 player, good to see Marrah get a go and he now knows what is required in an AFL game. Marrah needs a few more pre seasons in him yet. Naughton and hopefully Dunkley back in next week.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Outplayed all day..

 

[Igloo]

Some selfish habits creeping into the team. Hannan and Wallis the big offenders. They both definitely can't play in the same team, and I think we're probably better without either.
Honestly i've been rather pleased with Scott lately. He's still doing what he needs to be doing.
JJ had a few good games early on after his role change but now offers nothing.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Don't think we had an easy mark to a forward all night. All bombs requiring contested marks.

 

[wian]

No way did we deserve to win that game today - And even when we had a chance miraculously in the last quarter down by 12, the yipps kicked in yet again fluffing simple shots when going for goal ( JJ, Bruce, English the main culprits etc)

Swans far better today. Many of our blokes had butter fingers dropping simple marks and fumbling etc

Today we never really looked like it. Got to get a few of our best 18 back and drop the time wasters..

Hannan is walking on eggs - Just offers absolutely nothing..

 

[BrunswickDog]

The simple misses by Bruce, weightman and english killed us again today. Halted momentum each time.

 

[Jeff 1975]

Out played
If injuries let us, we need to rebuild

Had a long tail today

 

[Doggy]

Those flogs can celebrate like they just won a final, but they're not getting top 4 so out they go first round
