Autopsy Post Mortem vs Melbourne

[Dead Eye Didak]

Which ones?

Hawks
West Coast
North
Melbourne ( last round)

 

[Magpiemack]

Playing today with 50 games or less:

Aish
De Goey
Phillips
Crocker
Moore
Brown
Broomhead
Smith
Maynard
Scharenberg
Langdon

Half the team. And i think it showed at times...

That's amazing...and does bode well for the future.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Midfield still looks better than most other
Forwards look good once it got in there
Grundy still only 22

Disappointing but at times we looked sensational

 

[CFC2010]

While our coach had our best and well rated tagger 1km away from their best player.

Says it all really.

So that move lost us the game?

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

The umpires were atrocious!

We were 4 goals up and controlling the game. We Chocked like Greg Norman

 

[TradeDraft]

Umps were terrible. But we could have iced the game before half time. Shoulda been 8 goals up.

Hope we continue to play Brown. Thought he showed a bit today.

IF Adams did not turnover twice that led to w easy dees Goals

 

[PieBeast]

The umpires were absolute cheats with a clear Melbourne bias, but our midfield was woeful in the second half. Defenders cost us several goals in the first half with muppet mistakes and overall were just squibs I thought.

A 5% better game from our Captain and we take the bickies, he tackled hard but otherwise was really disappointing.

 

[30yearpie]

We do. His name is Ben Sinclair and shockingly, he's actually a better kick than that ball butcher.

Pace is all he has...no skills...terrible kick and zero defensive skills....If we're holding our breath for this spud's return, we may as well give Jack Hellier a game

 

[TradeDraft]

Also aish is as soft as butter

Nothing player, get games into brown and daicos and stop persisting with this weak flog

Aish was 1 of our Better Players

 

[Art Corvelay]

Felt like we couldn't win a clearance in the second half, particularly the last quarter, when we needed to stand up. Umpires didn't help but weren't the reason we lost.

 

[jscan]

So that move lost us the game?

Tell me that we will play finals

 

[TW Sherrin]

Who were the Adams defenders from a few weeks back?

 

[PieBeast]

That's amazing...and does bode well for the future.

I vividly recall a thread from 3 year ago about our future being really bright, that's the spirit.......................................

 

[frizzle]

Umpiring was poor, but we did piss away a 28 point lead. Our forward line was non existent after half time.

Elliott is a huge loss to our forward line. Without him the opposition only really have to worry about Moore & he is still a baby as far as experience goes.
Yes ending up on the wrong side of the ledger of a tight contest sucks. AKA Dees, Giants etc, but I am a lot more bullish about where we are than I was 3 or 4 weeks ago. At least our ball movement has improved & are trying to take the game on a bit more. Getting Elliott back into our forward line after the bye is so important. If he is out too long after that then we will be in trouble. We need another dangerous forward target next year. It's absolutely vital.

 

[CFC2010]

A 5% better game from our Captain and we take the bickies, he tackled hard but otherwise was really disappointing.

Maybe your mate Steele steps up and plays 4 quarters and we take the bickies............just saying!

 

[TW Sherrin]

Felt like we couldn't win a clearance in the second half, particularly the last quarter, when we needed to stand up. Umpires didn't help but weren't the reason we lost.

Its an indictment on our mids that Melbourne could win so many clearances without knowing where Grundy would tap it.

"Youngest team ever to win a flag"

Youf > results.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Hawks
West Coast
North
Melbourne ( last round)

Thank u for the likes everybody....means a few agree with me...4 more wins gives us 9 for the year. Roos as coach next year, we possibly cant sign Bucks after 4 years of no finals

 

[Magpie Monopoly]

Furious. Where do i begin.

Its easy to focus on individual calls but more importantly, I was under the impression in the last 5 minutes of a close game, the umpires would try their best to not let weak, 50/50 calls decide the outcome of the game... Free kick was 10-2 in the last Q if I'm not mistaken? Time and time again teams were officiated differently.

I can take loosing. We have had our ups and downs the past few years, we get through it, but i can't take a game clearly impacted by biased officiating.

 

[loki04]

Rustin Cohle He had 13 tackles and always leads our pressure acts, every match.

His tackles are at the coal face once the ball is on the spread he half efforts it back to defence.
That is what hurts us easy to tackle in a scrimmage harder work to sprint back with intent to help your defence or keep your opponent's in check.

If you actually watched him instead of the stats sheet you would know this.


Pendles is a great player but he is also captain how is he meant to give others a clip for not 2 way running when he does half hearted himself?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Whatever your smoking pass it over

I had us beating:

Geelong
Hawthorn
Essendon
Melbourne (last Round)
West Coast
Suns
North

We're not losing our games by much. The way we're playing, those wins are all completely reasonable.

 

[CFC2010]

Tell me that we will play finals

Not without you Jesse!

Whoever believed that was a sucker.

 

[Art Corvelay]

Pretty much how I felt too. Opposition mids should not be clearly winning off our taps.

 

[jscan]

Not without you Jesse!

Jesse is back after the bye supposedly! , knowing Buck's he will probably play Cox.
