Autopsy Roast & Toast R13 vs West Coast & Changes for St Kilda R15

[damicky]

Yeah it was a killer. Dimma said they talked about being more composed when in the forward half but then didn’t put the plans into practice.
It’s probably in our DNA we’ve played that chaos ball inside the f50 for 4 years now, old habits die hard

Chaos isn’t bombing to the square for a 1 vs 2
Chaos isn’t kicking it around the corner straight to the opposition when you’re too far out from goal

Top 4 is a lock might change positions but none of the teams in it are coming out .

 

[Football Tragic]

Devastated. We struggled to stop their Ball movement and their kicks in the F50. Our back line kept us in the game. Bolton was great but his radar was off early. Cotch disappeared in the last. Umpires really were sh.te but f*** me we weee fumbly and I couldn’t figure out whether it was from the dew or their pressure. The seasons not done by a long stretch but we’re trying to make this as hard as possible for ourselves this year it would seem

Sounds chaotic to me

10.7 to 10.7 after quarter time.

That first quarter cost us.

Interesting way to look at it

I think Geelong will slide out. Have you looked at their fixture?

Bulldogs next week followed by Brisbane at the GABBA, wouldn't rule out Dockers running them close at Optus a few weeks later and in the last round they have Melbourne. Lions aren't safe as houses either.

Eagles were more undermanned.....Game had alot of momentum shifts think Eagles had the momentum when it counted !!

Nic Nat was HUGE for the eagles and pretty much dominated the entire game
20 poss 3 tackles and 30 hitouts . Nankervis was the most important payer missing tonight between the 2 teams

Nankervis - Prestia - Astbury - Lynch - Soldo
all players above would have been starting 22 in the 2020 GF

cats will beat the dogs easily and the lions

I’ll back Cotch in the 2nd half of the season. I think he’s been dealing with offield issues that have affected him.
Back to Melbourne, his family around him and a week to rejuvenate the batteries we’ll see a different player.

yeah,shoulda been rested for this game,hes on tired legs the champ

 

[chriso11]

Little bit of look at me with Bolton in the first, he’s just a kid in his home state so I get it but there was one that sailed over a tiger on his own in the goal square

Don’t get why everyone wants him to pull his head in. He has skills and x-factor to become a true game breaker like dusty. I would be encouraging him to play with swagger and arrogance, to back himself and be audacious. Hammering him on the head will just turn him into a Rioli mark 2

Astbury is underrated at times.

 

[THE_GUN]

True in one sense but you would've been well rested.



I think we'll make top 4 ... just. Looking at your run home (which is pretty good) I think you'll get 6th. That's provided you win every game from here on in and other results go as expected according to current ladder position apart from the odd one where a home home side might be expected to win in matches between teams very close to each other on the ladder.

Dont think eagles are making top 4 this year
Melbourne,Doggies , Cats and Lions look like they are there
Bulldogs , Sydney , Lions & Melbourne to come i can see 3 losses there

 

[Antzzz]

We lost this game …. But I’m more concerned about the way this game is heading …. If that tackle is a dangerous tackle … then we are heading closer and closer to AFLX

 

[Crankitup]

If that happens then the Lions could slide out instead.

that was a disgusting decision

 

[chriso11]

The harsh reality of this is we are 1-6 against the other top 8 teams.

We literally are the 8th best team for a reason

This is the stat that bothers me. In other years, even with the injuries, we would not be so down on the ledger against better teams. Will be hard to win 4 straight in September against the same teams unless we are fully fit, in form and firing on all cylinders.

yep agree too 4 is set

 

[chriso11]

Would’ve won if Parker played ahead of Castagna

Castagna needs to be dropped but anointing Parker as the saviour is going to last 1 game — the 8 possession game he plays when he is put in

We play Melbourne and Bulldogs at home though. It'll be close. I'm probably just expecting some of our returning players to make the difference - Shuey, Gov, Shep, Kelly, Witherden and Petch. It might not matter anyway. If you guys get a run on after the bye a tilt at another flag from 6th might not be as hard as you think.

 

[Grockadoc]

Also, isn't this the exact reason the blocking rule was brought in? So forwards could get a run and jump at the ball without defenders blocking their path?

 

[lumpinee]

next game

outs : Rioli,Castagna,Caddy,Houli,Chol,Cotchin(time out champ,have a rest)
ins : Prestia,Nankervis,Collier-Dawkins,Parker,Mansell,Ralphsmith,Miller

Some of those games were very strange ... if the 2 close ones (Port & WCE) went the other way, it wouldn’t look so bad

 

[McTiger]

We deserve all the sh*t that gets thrown at us this week, that was abysmal.
