AFL Autopsy RND 21: Beaten By The Swans

[Harlequin]

 

[doug85]

Honerable loss, maintains our draft position.

Can’t complain

 

[Stopher]

Trying hard and fought it out. Can't ask for anything more, in the circumstances.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Game of two halves today. The first half we got beaten and the second half where we also got beaten.

 

[windyhill]

Nice one boys ( weren't they in the GF recently? )

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

 

[JayJ20]

Decent effort but the brand of football we play is mind-numbingly boring to watch. I don't think I've ever been more bored watching Essendon games.

 

[Duckworth]

At least Papley was shit.

 

[FlyingV]

Well done lads

 

[justlookingaround]

Roberts must be a menace out there the way he gets singled out whenever he has a skill error

 

[HirdyLannister]

Merrett full forward for two quarters, tanking anyone?

 

[Stopher]

Game of two halves today. The first half we got beaten and the second half where we also got beaten.

We won the 3rd and 4th quarters? But ok, it's cool to be in the pile-on.

Jess Webster is a better caller than Kelly Underwood. Draft pick still looking solid.
That’s all I can say.

 

[mike14]

Won the 2nd half with Merrett being very, very quiet.
Great to see the younger brigade continue to crack in at the ball
Guelfi with 3 touches and 3 tackles in 103 mins of game time is impressive

Roberts must be a menace out there the way he gets singled out whenever he has a skill error

nature of his role is he gets the ball a lot. he's expected to hit targets. young lad sure, but needs to improve.

 

[Foxx]

Played all the kids this year. Who have we "found"?

We need some campaigners in the team!

Dermie mentioned that Archie should store that clash with Guilden in the memory bank for 2028.

You think he's pulling that out of thin air? Or is he giving snippets of his mindset that wanted to win at all costs, even if it meant crossing the line and then some?

Guelfi with 3 touches and 3 tackles in 103 mins of game time is impressive

small forward is never a role you'd want to be looking at stats for. but he is/was/always his normal self. that's matt guelfi. terrible for the side of course, no potential to improve the side. that's just it.

Starting to assemble a few in Roberts, Clarke and Nguyen.

Roberts, Kako have continued to come on.
Clarke has looked ok. Lual at least looks he's worth keeping around.
May. Hayes
Does Reid count?

It is but that’s what you get when you have not really been trying to win.
The reality IMO is we will look like shit for another 2 or 3 years as well.
This is going to be more than just a reset. Will be no shock if we move on another 20-25 players in the next 3 years.

Which senior players are worth hanging on to over the kids?

 

[Doss]

Not unhappy with that. We had a crack.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I’m rapt with that. Great effort for the full four quarters.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Plenty of effort. We didn't disgrace the jumper. That's about as good as it gets at the moment. Can't see the Tigers winning another game or North winning more than 1 so there isn't even much chance of improvement in our draft hand from here.
