Autopsy Roast toast and changes for Gather round v Freo

[SA_Tiger11]

Only change I'd make is Smith out for Smillie.

Wouldn't mind seeing Alger after another good performance but no need to rush him.

Why the fk would Smilie play after playing about 20 mins of VFL?

 

[sabso]

FOS is better

FOS didn't even make the 23 today

 

[docko911]

FOS is better

He’s not even close.

 

[Coach_Required]

Would wait and see how a few players pulled up after that game.

Is Armstrong injured or cramp, Is McIntosh injured? How long is McAuliffe out for?

If Armstrong is injured then you'd think Faull or Sims comes in for him, if not then you'd think Bauer will be dropped instead as he was sub today and had a good block of games.

If McIntosh is injured does that mean Ralphsmith comes straight back after his hit out in the VFL today?

I get why some want Smith dropped but I would hold for now depending on those changes above.

Not sure why people want Sonsie dropped I thought he got better as the game went on, we should really drop Dow and give Sonsie a decent crack in the midfield if McAuliffe isn't fit.

 

[docko911]

Trainor should get the rising star this round but those couple of bad kicks might stop him.

 

[Turka]

Everyone thought we would be crushed, but mostly, we played well. It’s not possible to have kids or lack experience all the time in the mid. Gotta have some experience in there. More positive then not.

Tim and Jacob were pretty bloody good today…Not sure what they have to do TBH…The Kane Cornes Appreciation Club of them has sailed (and particularly with TT) but who cares…? What they’ll do for our young guns will be priceless…And it’s already showing…

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Overall, I left with more positives. We didn't get smashed and kept going. Lalor 24 disposals, 2 goals (should've had 3), 4 tackles and 4 goal assists. Trainor 19 disposals and 4 marks. Armstrong was a little quiet compared to the other 2 but chimed in with some good marks and 2 goals. Seth Campbell is looking good, 15 disposals, 2 goals

Just on Trainor, we have a good one here. Love his endeavour and he likes to run and receive, but his disposal and decision-making can be a bit iffy at times. Went at 53%DE. No doubt, as he gains more experience and understands the speed of the game, he'll tidy that part of his game up.

Sims and Faull did well in the reserves today, both strong in the air. We have fixed our spine in the last few drafts ND/MSD
Balta, Gibcus, Fawcett, Blight, Gray, Amstrong, Faull, Sims. Lefal and Trainor will carry us for the next 8-10 years.

Now need to draft a few more speedy mids and some pressure forwards. We had 2 tackles inside 50 and Brissy had 13.

We have potential future pressure small forwards in Raso and Yassine in our VFL. I'm thinking we pick Raso in the MSD. He was immense today.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Miles better than last week against a better team

 

[prodigy1311]

The only negatives Dow, kmac & short
Dow tries hard but turns it over way too much
Short am not sure what his role is
Kmac - has been a great soldier but its time to be sub only

Rest all positives

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Happiest I’ve been after a loss. So many positives.

And finished each quarter strongly.

 

[The Mighty]

Saddest part is no real midfield options to promote from the VFL: to push the potatos (Dow, Ross, Sonsie Banks) out

 

[Nostradumbass]

crowd?

 

[Dragonss]

short is really starting to piss me off. teaching young players bad recruits by just being a panic merchant and dump kicking the ball every time he gets it. He needs to be pushed out of the team but unfortunately we don't have anyone in the wings banging the door down to replace him. Really needs to be dropped to set an example.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Will be difficult, Melbourne and Carlton have experience in this area.

Luckily, neither has a first-rounder this year. Hawks have Carltons and Bombers have the Dees

 

[peterand]

Saddest part is no real midfield options to promote from the VF: to puch the potatoes (Dow, Ross, Sonsie Banks) out of the seniors

What is it with Sonsie hate he’s a young kid who hasn’t been played in his preferred position very often the middle
Hate the way some just people bag the youngsters it takes time

I think L train bites off more than he can chew with his kicks at times , needs to play percentages better , listen to his coaches

He’s not really a young kid. He’s a 4th year player with no intensity that’s scared of the contest. Has decent disposal but that’s about it.

Yup, seems more like decision making than a skill issue

Not uncommon for young players

He will work it out soon enough

 

[darcytiger]

Saw Richo leaving at halftime time with his daughters. Not good enough, not a true Richmond man…

 

[guruisatiger]

Kamdyn McIntosh has played 194 games
Needs 6 to make 200. After round 11 we have the mid season draft nurse him to 200 then send him off after round 10.his 200th game against roos at the mcg
He then retire ala Shaun grigg
