Autopsy Rd17 Ugly Blues go down by 20

[Mr_Plow]

I still want Kelly.




SOS still has an absurd amount of cleaning and recruiting to do.

 

[TBellicious]

Eh is all i can say.

Again injuries in the game hurting us dearly.
Are we any chance of having a full 22 by the end of the game?

 

[Bobmonkey]

Killed by turnovers.

Thank god we're recruiting guys who know how to kick and handball.

Jed Lamb played really well. Liam Sumner did not.

 

[Madblue]

Needs a spell at Northern with SPS

 

[CRIPPS]

We should start delisting now

Why wait?

I agree. We lack depth in the midfield. Must draft plenty Mids.

 

[SBYM]

Like a bulldog chewing a wasp...

Uh-glee.

 

[HARKER]

We need more quality midfielders.

That is all.

Many of us were saying that after last years trade period. No mystery.

Nothing new here today other than for further confirmation on some of our players.........and I mean the larger-profiled players.

We need a new start with new leadership next year. Simple.

 

[TerryWallet]

Just confirmation of what we already know.

Our list was/is incompetant prior to the 2015/16 drafts.

Nothing new or revelatory.

Until we have players able to execute the coaching, it is impossible to coach.

 

[Ahuitzotl]

Far too many reserve grade players out there who will never take the next step. That game should see their fates sealed.

On a positive, we did run the reigning premiers to a 20 point loss with a reserve grade team and a one man final term bench.

I know. Clutching.

 

[DJMacca]

A work in progress this team but still very disappointing today.

 

[SBYM]

I waited all week for that?

I waited all week for this quality thread.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I still want Kelly.




SOS still has an absurd amount of cleaning and recruiting to do.

But not at the expense of loosing Gibbs.

Our Captain needs to take a good look at himself.
He absolutely squibbed it more than once today.
Really poor leadership

 

[Chookie]

Definitely missed Cripps today.

Not too many positives to draw upon. Thought Jones did well again down back.

Obviously need to go after midfielders in this years draft.

 

[T2B_]

Charlie was pretty good again considering opportunities.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

To lose the contested mark stat so badly against the worst contested marking team in the Comp is plain piss. Nothing else to it.

 

[Stormzy]

We really missed Cripps out there, not sure if playing Docherty in the midfield was the right way to go about it, Simpson making errors was also uncharacteristic of him.

I'm more disappointed in our forward line, at one stage we had 8 entries and only got 1 point from it. Simply not good enough, think we should invest our time in improving that area moving forward.

 

[davis_756]

This is a result of a month of poor reserves grade football, no one at all has been putting their hand up for a game for a month or more now and the players today relaxed like they know no matter how bad they play there is no one to replace them with.

Just continually out numbered at contest after contest, allowed them to chip down the line the the forward 50 without kicking to a contest by not getting close enough to stop the chip kicks. 58 tackles isn't good enough either, not enough physical pressure or hard running and we will lose by 10 goals if we play that way next week.

Good luck to bolts trying to correct that effort level, their fear of losing their position is gone with this many injured players.

 

[rp84]

Well, that was poop.

 

[FairKouta]

Lamb doc curnow and kreuzer were the only ones that looked any good.
Sadly Buckley summer are as good as gone

 

[TooBlue14]

This I should the worst I've felt about this list in some time. We are terrible. The dogs are shit I was more confident if beating this team than anyone this year. We need to learn a plan B. The dogs game should of been eaten up with pace and ball movement. We play into their hands by going slow and a ****ing first gamer has the utter balls to go after casboult that's how shit we played. He even took a mark over kruezers head. Sumner Buckley are done on an afl list.

Was entry and not the forward line.

 

[Toddski]

We dominated the first and last quarters. Too many unskilled players for AFL.

In all honesty, we could have been within a kick or two by the end. We play so terribly yet we are in most games.

SOS must move heaven and earth to acquire Kelly, Hopper and/Whitfield.

So much work to do but patience is key.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Awful performance.

A few positives to focus on:

- Jed Lamb was terrific, very clean today.

- Charlie very good again, his field kicking was a real feature. This kid is the full package.

- Jones thrashed Redpath.

- Boekhorst showed a small glimmer (still likely gone though).

- Kerridge tried hard all game and I thought he was pretty good with his 29 touches (despite the obligatory howler or two).

Negatives:

- Sumner, wow.

- Doc and Simmo had a collective mare. Casboult also had one of his worst games for the season (wasn't helped by some truly bizarre forward entries).

- Weitering horrible in the first half.

- Byrne injured?!!?

 

[Blue_Fusion]

We had:

- 6 changes
- Players like Sumner, Graham, Buckley, Boekhorst and Kerridge out there all at once
- Nothing much from Fisher, SPS and Casboult
- Weitering dead set out of confidence
- Soft all around effort
- Simpson had a shocker

I'm shocked we only lost by 20 points.

Really poor leadership

Gibbs is our best player after Cripps, he's having a phenomenal year and is pretty much AA at the moment.

Losing him will hurt us significantly in the short term.
