Autopsy Gleeson goes the hack

[Jonno94]

In fairness Fasolo deserves some slack. I think given the limited number of one out opportunities he's had in 2016 he's got the best out of himself.

Forgot about Fasolo, he's been great so far. But 2 players is not acceptable.

Our zone being highlighted is a good thing. It's been rubbish for a long time. We work our asses of for a snap a goal while we let others waltz into and open goal. Ive loved bucks for decades but I'm feeling crap about our game plan.

 

[TradeDraft]

I hope we get abosutley smashed in the media this week, those weak pricks deserve it.

Agree - The Shit they have put up in 1st 3 Rounds. They Deserved Every Negative Story in the Media they get

 

[Jekyll and Hyde]

Surprise. Surprise.
We get thrashed by Sydney and StKilda and scrap a one point victory against Richmond and the stats show that some players are out of form. And here I was thinking it was all due to bad umpiring.
Michael Gleeson would be well served by pointing out some things we don't know, rather than pointing out the bleeding obvious.

Like rob I did?

 

[Jekyll and Hyde]

Spellcheck... "Robbo"

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Good article. Couldn't fault a single thing he said.

How do you sue for plagiarism?

Said a lot of this two years ago. He must sit near me at the footy.

That was some nice work Nostradamus, to pick that Greenwood and Treloar would be playing for us in 2016 and would be stinking it up by foot, way back in 2014!

 

[Hardas]

Didn't Crisp take a while to find form last year as well? I thought he's improving each game...

He was definitely a bit better than the first two weeks anyway.

 

[Two Eyes]

Gleason told it like it is. Refreshing to read such an intelligent and well reasoned analysis.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Yep, our club doesn't get anywhere near enough of a blowtorch when it comes to on-field.

I hope we get smashed for the next few weeks after we lose to Melbourne, Essendon, Carlton and Brisbane.

 

[wicksy]

Is he Captain Obvious?

It's his job to write an article Dave... Good article at that.

I think a lot of us say this at the games.

I mean, it's not like they can hide it. It's there for all to see. I was saying it last year and the year before when we were 8-3. Even when we WIN, we still leak shitty goals and allow teams to outrun us. Many of our issues are present during victories also, which is the FAR bigger concern in my opinion. If we can't get our defensive shit straight even when we win, then this club is further behind the 8 ball than any of us could have imagined.

Now I know that in the early part of last year, we had a low Against value, but if you watched each game in isolation, we were still leaking really shitty shitty goals due to backmen playing loose and no pressure on the kick coming from the midfield. Even in our victories.

"Damningly, St Kilda cautioned each other after the win not to be overly excited by victory for the quality of the opposition was so poor."

 

[PepperFace]

Gleeson is spot on. I hope the players are reading the papers this week and start rectifying our (many) issues

 

[danielnajdek]

"Damningly, St Kilda cautioned each other after the win not to be overly excited by victory for the quality of the opposition was so poor."

Whilst I agree we were poor. It's ironic St Kilda said this. They have been shit for decades.

Disagree, think we get more than our fair share. It's not like the media has been flattering over the last 3 weeks, in fact I don't read a lot of print press any more but the radio and tv discussion has been pretty damning

Yeah, THIS year.

It's truly deserved, which is what I'm saying.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Gleeson goes bang!

POW!!! Right in the kisser.

 

[Stoods]

seriously if we don't respond this week then nothing will fire them up, if we give another performance like we have the first 3 weeks, i would immediately put Bucks on notice and possibly some players as well

 

[robertg22]

Agree with the vast majority of it, but Adams has actually been good. Not sure where that call came from. His disposal has improved significantly.

Defending Adams.... I feel like TradeDraft.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Crisp looked to me to be trying his arse off. Maybe he was one of those who Bucks suggested was running hard but at the wrong time, but I will be holding fire currently.

Agree Crisp was one of the better players v the saints had he kicked the goal right in front we would've nearly gone on with it.

 

[mattys123]

It's a massive mistake from him to include Adams in that. He was, next to Grundy, Langdon and Oxley, one of only a handful of players who had a pass mark on Saturday. 28 possessions with an 82% disposal efficiency, how is that out of form?

I stopped reading there.

 

[swoop42]

I think to many of us were prepared to line up and drink the Kool Aid should Buckley have commanded it after our NAB performances but after the last 3 weeks if you look a little closer it shows a worrying sign.

In at least two of those matches we were trailling badly at half time only to turn it around.

At worst right now it's not hard to imagine that the opposition simply pulled up stumps at half time content that they had successfully displayed the structures they'd be working on over the summer.

At best it shows a huge discrepancy in our levels of effort from one quarter to another and a fragile mindset.

 

[jackcass]

Yeah, THIS year.

It's truly deserved, which is what I'm saying.

Every year. Most of the media just love an opportunity to stick it up the Pies.
