Autopsy Roast & Toast v Suns & Changes for ANZAC Eve

[Tigeral]

I think it was the management of Nank that let the Suns back in. Was still the right call though, given the five day break.

Gee we could do with a better backup ruck though. Ryan is still a bit of a liability.

Nobody was complaining about Ryan in the third when his ruck work was part of our surge. Yeh shit two HO in the last. Think he thought he was getting a free in the first one. Well done to Ryan for winning the third centre HO, didn’t drop his head. Nank is not going to make it all year solo and Ryan is far and away our next best rap ruckman

 

[docko911]

reckon green gets dropped tbh, way too many clangers, didnt do much else. might be algers time.

Mansell is fit for Thursday. He did a few good things though, really hard selection that one.

Meh
Gold Coast are the rolls Royce midfield in the comp and ours is far from that right now

We were never going to win that midfield battle and that’s just a reality of where we are right now as a club

We did as well as can be expected and I can’t fault the effort of any of our mids.

Yep including putting Samson Ryan into the ruck whilst Banker's rested on the interchange for 9 minutes (long time). Thats the way only these young players will learn - match environment.....sometimes they'll sink and other times they'll swim. All part of the development and rebuild.

IMHO the nanks on the bench was confusing amd fristrating. Hindsight and this was planned to save Nanks for anzac eve.
Hope sampson learns from this

Rock of Balta kept Ben King to 2 kicks.

And one was a free

 

[WATiger86]

Taranto and Hopper played like they had a point to prove to the oppo coach

He’s ****ing terrible! He couldn’t even out mark Uwland. A couple of good taps doesn’t make up for his complete uselessness once the ball hits the deck.

Wankley probably in fetal position hearing about out win

Absolutely it was one of those games where it’s hard to single anyone out
Every had a crack even those whipping boys like Dow or Trezise

Ryan was disappointing but yeah overall extremely strong team performance and a game plan that was obviously built around probably not winning that midfield battle but using other parts of our game to overcome

 

[aislegi]

Lalor is the cleanest silkiest draftee I’ve ever seen

Did they give him (Lalor), Tresize, and Ross the Full Metal Jacket haircuts so the opposition can’t find him so easily?

 

[Tigertot]

If they didnt have rowell they would have been 5 goals further down. Gold coast are good but how good remains to be seen until they play the top teams.

totally forgot about mansell, yep green out, mansell in, seems a no brainer.

 

[SplintWhisky]

The fact Trainor looked livid he didnt play the game is so encouraging for me. Love a kid that doesnt want to go backwards..

 

[Antzzz]

I watch the footy because I love it and enjoy the game. A lot of fans watch it to scream at the umps and complain that life isn’t fair. Seems like a strange choice to me.

I love screaming at the umps ....i get so much joy out of it ...not everyone is the same .....nobody gives a shit why you watch the footy

Ryan had 4 touches and was non-competitive in the air.

I am laying off criticising Dan and Dimma, two Richmond legends.

Dans a legend Dumma is a campaigner

Ryan in the 4th nearly lost us the game, he cant catch a cold in a blizzard. he is absolutely useless in the AFL. probably struggle in the WAFL.

 

[captain blood 17]

These woke ****en mods banned me because I wouldn't use their pronouns.

Win, lose or draw they're still woke losers an mainly muddiemoose who is the biggest lefty w***er.

**** off

You ok mate? We just had a shock win.

Yep
Didn’t drop his head and soldiered on but Jeeze he’s a slow burn

It’s hard to see him improving his intensity and marking at AFL level though

Balta smashed him….

Balls of steel to come back and play that sort of game while under the media heat

 

[captain blood 17]

More

More than that... Improvement throughout the season is going to be shit arsed grins.

More than that. We got a few senior boys to start beefing up our depth as they return from ACL’s etc.

 

[Tigertot]

I cant believe we got faul and armstrong in one draft

I have high hopes for these two - fingers crossed

 

[fargothegreat]

Will be interesting to see who comes out for Mansell. Would be difficult to drop either of Rioli or Steely based on that performance.
