AFL Autopsy RND 14: Chewed Up and Spat Out By the Cats

[ant555]

Too many bad habits.

Midfielders jogging through the middle with no real thought about the game.

Very poor skill execution.

Too many players with a combined IQ of 10.

Totally ineffective team defence.

This is going to take a while.

Ouch, lol... Saw about 30 seconds of play. Andy munting a chest mark from Archie Roberts I think, then pawing at the dropped ball like it had leprosy, Cats player grabbed it, goal... Might skip the replay and just read this thread.

 

[Doss]

I’d be perfectly happy never playing these campaigners again.

 

[BomberManU]

I’d be perfectly happy never playing these campaigners again.

The Cats, or our players?

I’d be perfectly happy never playing these campaigners again.

If we never played Geelong or the Bulldogs we would have a significantly improved percentage over the last several years. Always a flogging

The jogging is infuriating.

There are some non negotiable's and desire for the contest should be one.

 

[Goat Hird]

Plenty of content for Herb to make a comeback

% worse than Roos now. 3rd worst in AFL.

The pawing at the ball like it had leprosy comment made me laugh, thank-you. Sounds like Andy topped his effort against Max Holmes last year when he just moved out of his way to let him collect the loose ball and goal from the top of goal square. Great leader.

 

[Nicholas61]

Well hoping those responsible are gone, but yeah, we're ****ed in that respect.

I got a feeling some of them would just love to come back.

 

[jmoo wan]

im not going to lie, that was pretty shit!

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

We still have to face the suns twice & the dogs and cats again in the run home . heck

 

[Cold Sober]

Thought we played some good footy but didn't finish.
Senior player skill level turnovers cost us dearly.
A lot of positives in the way we played, not too pissed off at all.
My man Goldy turned the clock back which after last week even I was worried.
The two debutants have a bit of size about them and will get better for today.

 

[horj89]

Undermanned and and inexperienced. No real surprises. Thought we actually had a dip for the most part but fell away in the last. There are levels to this game and there is a fair gulf between us.

Keep on playing the kids. If we’re going to be shit we have to be young. No point being old and shit.

 

[Happyskeret]

I would have rather seen Vigo out there than Goldy personally. Each to your own.

 

[Learntopray]

I feel for Blackiston. Debut of nightmares and it wasnt entirely his fault.
Couldn't of been picked for a worse game to debut in. Poor bloke was nowhere near ready and performed as expected.

 

[Gabe251]

Hope we finish 15/16th. Play. For. Picks!!!!!

 

[MightyDon]

It’s like we are an expansion club without 100 top 5 draft picks

 

[BomberManU]

I guess most expected this, but we need to be careful because there are a lot more potential margins like this. Which doesn't matter now, but we need to keep the guys we see as the future, invested. The WCE path isn't that far off. Unless of course, we're already on it.

 

[TheBrightSide]

That one hurt our percentage.

 

[nipst@r]

And half of us lay people knew they were ridiculous decisions at the time

Apart from length think the money is pretty middle of the road for most of them.

Parish amd mcgrath and most tested the waters, they weren't getting better than at essendon.

Seems most of the other clubs had competent list managers and we had dodoro.

 

[mike14]

I've tried to like McGrath, I've tried to defend McGrath, but his efforts for a senior player are just terrible.
Screw '#1OA pick', what traits does he have that make you even think 'first round pick '?

 

[Cold Sober]

It's not about who we play but how we play.

I've never been a Scott fan but, now he's been forced to play all our newbies I think he's changing his ways for the better
Time will tell. We're going to cop some big floggings before the season is over but, I think we've got a few major upsets in us.
You need to slay a few Dragons before you get a Princess.

 

[Donakebab]

The Cats, or our players?

Yes.

 

[IHurley]

That one hurt our percentage.

This may come as a shock but we're not playing finals.
