AFL Autopsy Rnd 5: Beaten by The Lions and [REDACTED]

[Harlequin]

Have at it!

 

[Dave]

Meh, didn’t give up, that’s about it. Too wet for skinny kids.

Learnings.

 

[MightyDon]

Let’s thank Joe for his 8years great service and be grateful

 

[VelvetSledge]

Tip came back to haunt me.

Full strength Brisbane, at home, in abysmal conditions.
We never stood a chance.

Hooker deserves another year.

* [REDACTED]

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Can't ready anything into that game considering the conditions. No doubt Lions the better side in any case, but the game in itself not really indicative of anything meaningful. Move on.

 

[Thebisc]

I understand we will lose games to good sides. But I am so sick of games being over inside 20 mins. Happened tonight and against port and at least 7-8 times last year...makes for such a long four qtrs as a supporter

 

[Goat Hird]

Devon is cooked

 

[the PILL]

Meh, we got Autopsied...

 

[HirdsTheWord]

would be good for once to play wet weather football when it is WET.

 

[RearNaked]

Didn’t run onto the field to hit the lanky campaigner in 3 and didn’t hit the annoying campaigners around me so it’s kind of a win or loss I dunno

 

[JayJ20]

Hooker good as always.
The kids were ok. Hopefully Ridley doesn't miss much because we certainly needed his composure tonight.

Take the L and move on.

 

[Halftimehero]

When’s Smith’s free ride over?

 

[CBombers17]

Outmuscled and outclassed but didn't give up. We kept at it which is everything with so many young players building a culture. Only major negative was some senior players need to have a look at their effort.

Whole thing was basically a waste of time, but now we've lost Ridley
Did not play to the conditions at all in the 1st half and that made the gap in class even more noticeable.
Merrett worked his arse off, Hind and McGrath looked OK, Perkins tried hard and was the best of the kids, Cox had some moments.
Jones probably needs a week or two in the 2nds. Stringer was invisible, Parish and Langford seemed to find pressure everywhere they found the ball.
It seems we can't kick a goal without Hooker but he's an absolute liability when the ball hits the deck.

Disappointing to see the endeavour from the last few weeks disappear. Let's see what they dish up next week.

 

[Vincent Hanna]

Disappointed but expected. Kids are alright.

Guys like Heppell, Stringer, Walla, Langford really have to ask themselves some hard questions.

Archie though...

 

[Duckworth]

I would have liked to see more of Stringer and maybe Waterman into the middle. Parish on a night that should have suited him didn't really rise to the occasion.
Reid started slowly but looks a player.

 

[sameolds33]

Hind is worth giving the ball to every time.

 

[Bjchan13]

I think Reid showed good signs in a tough debut. Perkins was good in the wet. Hind. Cox had some good moments. Francis is becoming a better player by the game. Redman looks like he's closer to the best version of himself. Heppell, Stringer, Smith, Parish and Langford didnt stand up tonight as senior players.

3 years at best. Darcy saying Essendon fans would be hoping he does well. Put down the see through didgeridoo mate.

 

[owen87]

Story of the game right here, couldn’t control the ball.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

When’s Smith’s free ride over?

extended 2 more years!

 

[DERO]

Hind is worth giving the ball to every time.

Shining light. Him and the kids I reckon.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

I mean I expected a loss, so not too concerned. Go into the year with zero expectations and enjoy the games for what they are. Good game from Perkins, nice to see Reid play and what more can you say about Hooker?

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

We’re going to have these games like Port and Lions, especially Lions at home where they’re much better team. Losing Ridley for next week is a shocker.
