Autopsy Roast/Toast R1 vs Carlton & Changes for R2 vs Port

[tiger_tough]

Where the * are the left foot kickers? I think Nankervis was the only one on Thursday night

It’s too one sided

They also had players underdone. Ultimately, no one with a straight face can argue that we are a better side than Carlton. We did well, we fought hard and competed. But just feel like our ceiling is not very high while theirs is massive due to outs, but also because their top 10 is far far better and includes 2x KPF,1xKPB, etc They have the structure to win now, we dont

Lynch is the equal of either of their 2 key forwards when on song, better than McKay. Curnow has kicked 13 goals in 8 matches against us, so maybe my view of him is a little tainted by how easily our backs have nullified him over the years. Balta looks a real wild card up forward as well, what is his ceiling, he was very good on Thursday.

Walsh, Weitering and Dockerty are big injuries, Martin? He averaged 11 disposals and kicked 17 goals, so not exactly lighting it up. Marchbank has played 4 and 8 games in the last 2 years. Carroll is 18 years old, Silvani can't get a game. and Motlop goes okay but hardly a star.

Martin barely got out of second gear, Lynch's first game in 10 months and Nank tired badly in the last, when De Koning took over, before that he was giving him a bath. We were 3 down before half time coming off a 5 day break.

We beat them at clearances, so maybe besides Cripps they are not as good as they think they are. How did we do that with Prestia out, Taranto quiet, Dow average/good, Hopper quiet in the last half. Their midfield is pretty one paced, compared to last weeks Rowell, Anderson, Miller, even Flanders were yard above Carlton mids, in speed, quality and youth.

They have won 6 games in a row by under a goal, maybe they are a bit overrated.

It makes complete sense. I don't understand why we're not doing it. Dan wpuld be the prototype current day wingman. Pace, endurance, skill, gets plenty of the ball, decent in the air, can push back to defend, can kick goals AND we have Baker treading water up forward who can step right into his role.

I beg of you Yze. Try it out.

It makes zero sense. You want to turn a player who gets 80% of his disposals facing our goal and play him a position where he receives the ball with his back to our goal, while placing a greater emphasis on him to play structured footy. He has easiest and least accountable role possible right now.

Not a single mention of it from commentary, yet the Lynch free kick we got 15 replays and a complete breakdown.

I dont think gibcus is much of a loss

miller can do most things he does but better and hes better one on one

oh, okay. Sorry.

With ya. Miller can do what Gibcus could this year. Hurts that Gibcus has lost another year of development though.

Out: Prestia, Young, Gibcus, Pickett, Rioli Jnr

In: Ryan, Tresize, Banks, Brown, Coulthard

 

[Morro]

Pickett won’t get dropped
Too versatile and only player playing to hurt oppos

Agree with most of the ins unsure on Ryan though. Would keep Pickett in the side.

Looked old.
Losing one on ones. Going to ground in contests.

Needs to go.

Won't be making mass changes after that effort.

Probably bring in Miller Brown and McAuliffe as like for like replacements for Young Gibcus & Prestia.

I must be watching different games.

Not perfect by any stretch but he’s been good imo

He undoes his good work with a shocking blunder. Surely it's time to bring a kid in. Make Pickett a permanent sub.

I don’t agree but wouldn’t lose sleep over it.

He’s had some hugely courageous moments and can play anywhere.

18 disposals for just 3 turnovers on Thursday night and as Morro said one of the few who hunts the opposition with intent to hurt. Also has the ability to play multiple positions

Yeah he's probably our best winger. Time to look to the future though IMO.

Surely we wait until one of them takes it off him and we don’t just give them the spot ?

Exactly, if people want someone better to play the role, then they've actually got to be playing better than him, not just younger.

Rioli would be better and would help get games into Brown and/or Trezise who are ready for AFL footy.

Depends on how we want our wingers to play.

If we want them able to get back into D50 and fill leading lanes/intercept mark then Pickett/KMac are better options.

If we want them to be like Langdon at Melbourne who sits out in space as an outlet then Daniel is better as his ball use and pace would open the game up

All we've heard over pre season is how we'll be more attacking and less boring in defence.

May want us to be less boring in defence, but they also want us to be solid in defence and that's more important than being more attacking

I liked this tap down by MRJ to Bolton in the middle. And a soft free to Lynch! Umpires must have forgotten that Lynch actually plays for Richmond

 

[k31th]

Dow superbly kept the ball in and hit up Balta's chest on the 50m line giving him room to run I50 and kick the goal

 

[k31th]

Coast to coast goals are delicious... Taranto was brilliant, MRJ with the good shepherd to help him and Dusty casual AF
