Autopsy Round 12, 2020: Sydney 10.6.66 DEF GWS 0.7.7

[Olian]

Our forward line functioned well with 33 inside 50 entries resulting in 18 scoring shots. We also took 7 marks compared to the Giants 4 from 53 entries,

However Reid and McCartin as our two key forwards had little impact on the game. They add an important element of structure as all key forwards targets do, but do we utilise them properly? Maybe it would be different if Buddy was in the team.

Think part of it was because the Giants like to intercept mark. Kept a lot of space and allowed Hayward to basically take Haynes out of the game

I don't think our key forwards have ever functioned well as a unit, even going back to the Buddy/Tippett era. We need to do some serious work on the training track with our leading patterns, communication, contested marking etc with the talls, because the smalls have held up their end of the bargain in recent times.

Swans won by a little.

Elijah did something stupid.

That's about it.

You could smell the ambush from a mile away.

 

[Kirkswan]

Last night re-watched the game for the third time, sweetened the deal by watching the Hawthorn win first...

we really are improving quite noticeably!

Hahaha I did the very same thing yesterday, what a lovely way to spend an afternoon

 

[scaryness]

Parker was absolutely outstanding I thought.

Did caesar get hacked?

Did caesar get hacked?

Hahaha I'm glad to say that no I haven't been hacked! I thought he balanced out the things that usually give me the shits with some real moments of poise and class. My favourite moment would have to be his spin out of trouble early in the first that drew an audible "WOAH" from the crowd!

 

[The King!]

have to say GWS played like they bet on Sydney

Did caesar get hacked?

Scraped probably

 

[Millky95]

Nah. They were just softer at the contest. They wanted someone else to do the hard work so they could get the easy ball and look like a star. Which is what normally happens when we play them

yeah they were absymal in their effort, soft as butter

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Four days on and I am still stunned. Watched the full replay twice, no doubt with my mouth wide open. In the midst of grim times that win stands out as a riot of **good times**.

 

[bedford]

They're not a club.

Thought Caesar might be on an epic victory lap around WA with his fuel voucher.

Horse must've given Josh Kelly 3 votes. He was arguably our best mid all night.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

First time for Melican in Coaches' votes?

That’s a fascinating vote list.

Agreed on Parker.

Disagreed on the next 4 entirely.

Not much chance of that. Think I counted a grand total of 7 GWS supporters in the crowd.

And they might have been paid to wear orange.

It was akin to your dad attempting Gangham style after 2 dozen beers.

I remember looking at the big screen thinking “well played sir, well played indeed”.
