Autopsy Misfiring Dogs choke a top 4 spot v Gold Coast

[ossie_21]

Another game pissed away by pathetic goalkicking, dumb decision making and a lack of coaching and tactical adjustments.

I don’t care we won 5 in a row, a super talented list is being completely wasted.

 

[_STREET_]

sack the coach

 

[dergert]

Could've been a different story of Naughton handballed it to Arty Jones instead of kicking it into the flag.

 

[Bald]

Very frustrating.

Well done to the Suns, a bit more forward structure and we win fairly comfortably. Can we never go from Ballarat to Darwin ever again?

 

[The Inbetweener]

How good was that play late between hannan and Naughton turning a shot on goal into nothing

 

[WAbulldog]

The boys weren’t playing like they wanted a top 4 spot. Very disappointing

 

[Bonty4]

Disgusted with that effort, should have been over at qtr time

 

[Libbaaaa]

Umps tried their best to give us that one, wouldn’t have felt right winning that. We were extremely poor, very disappointing result.

 

[Foxman98]

Can’t blame coaching for that too many moments players just doing beyond stupid

 

[MaxiBont]

Stupid game to give away when we have Geelong and Port next. How Hannah gets a game in 2023 I'll never know. Starting Gardner, ToB and JoD in the same backline makes no sense at all. Thank God we had Jones otherwise it wouldn't have been close at all.

Trying to not to get too low on this game as it was in tough conditions after a good run of form. But losing to Gold Coast is always going to hurt regardless of the situation. The next two games will seriously shape the direction this season goes

Think it’s been a while since we pissed away 20 odd more Inside 50s to lose. Feels like home.

. Suns would have been robbed not to win that in the end. We are absolutely middle of the road and I think (even though Bevo is a gun coach) we desperately need a new voice to reinvigorate our team.

 

[Oliver G]

Naughton and O'Brien that is all, oh wait also WTF did we select JOD ahead of Crozier, Cleary and about 5 others?

 

[ScragCity]

You can't win them all. Suns are a decent side. They should have beat Melbourne if McPherson makes a set shot from 40 out with no angle. Tbh I think we are where we deserve to be on the ladder. We are still a middle of the pack side.

On a positive note, Jamarra is so bloody exciting to watch. Special player.

 

[BeMoreBont]

Naughton was absolutely embarrassing tonight. I'm sick of him.

O'Brien, Gardener and O'Donnell in the same team. We got what we deserved.

Our delivery inside 50 was absolutely deplorable. Nothing changes.

Without Jones we lose that by 10 goals.

 

[dergert]

Marra was hot all night and from the second quarter onwards we bombed it on Naughton's head. ******* infuriating.

Naughton is frustrating this year

 

[doggiesin08]

Naughton and O'Brien that is all, oh wait also WTF did we select JOD ahead of Crozier, Cleary and about 5 others?

I’d keep JOD over Gardy and O’Brien.

 

[Struggle]

Can’t blame coaching for that too many moments players just doing beyond stupid

You can absolutely blame them for the shithouse forward set-up and failure to generate easy shots

 

[StringyDog]

blew perfect opportunity to get into top 4, Didn't really deserve it in end but Hannan and TOB cost any chance to sneak it with their stupidity in final 3 minutes. Wasn't a good sneak peak into post Libba era as he was given an absolute bath tonight and we struggled as a result

 

[Dog 36]

Wasted opportunity

Dumb football and just not efficient.

GC cleaner smarter and more efficient.

Get the players rehydrated and get them out of there

And AFL we have played in Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, and Darwin so screw you.

 

[Sentinel]

LJizz is the best recruit we've had since drafting Bontempelli.

 

[Bulldog in Kiev]

A night full of dumb football iq on display
Would have won that with some better performances from a few.

 

[Philthy1]

Whatever the question, anyone who thinks Tim O’Brien is the answer needs a frontal lobotomy.

 

[geoffjennings79]

I bet we've spent the past few days drinking our own bathwater.

And obviously in Darwin, that creates hydration issues, and players struggle to run out games. Ban the bathwater!!!

 

[huddo#9]

Jamarra now the number one key forward, Naughton destroyed tonight and when he did mark it let down (again) by his kicking.

Whoever decided to call Jamarra off after that mark and goal in the last should be sacked
