Autopsy Round 14, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Carlton

[Ambrose Burnside]

Perhaps, but saying "oh no there goes pick 2", sarcastic/facetious or not is hard-core keyboard warrior bullshit. There's a human there, our player, our captain and it's just poor no matter how you look at it.

Meh, never thought it was seriously on the table anyway. Despite this board trying to convince me.

Not every club overpays like us

And it’s not like Pick 2 chat isn’t relevant. It’s a massive part of our season/offseason.

But it’s a chat for in the week, not as he’s in a crumpled heap on the field.

 

[Doashuey]

The awesome new gameplan has been exposed. They know the guy streaming in front of the ball carrier will receive the hand pass so they just tackle him as soon as he gets it.

Nah, we have already worked out the counter to this tactic already by fluffing the handball so we get a holding the man free kick.

 

[Footfalcon]

Imagine calling out Bailey Williams after that game, take off the blinkers.

He marked three kicks, woww.

Have you seen his contested work? Have you seen him barely breathing enough to blow a candle out whilst our defenders are sucking in the big ones. He's gutless

 

[Ochre]

It’s all relevant.

And if someone gets in a car crash I might get to work a bit late, I don't complain to the guy as he gets loaded in the ambulance though

 

[ep2018]

Looked an achilles injury for mine, the way he dropped.

Bailey can be criticised for many things, gutless certainly isn’t one of them. Not sure anyone on our list has tried as hard as him the last three years.

In his defense you and Bailey are acting like he puts in this kind of performance week in week out, when we all know that isn't the truth. He's probably had 2 good games this season and been held out of the side by a 20 year old.

 

[Elite Pete]

He’s also injured and not dead.

Will still get paid very well either way.

The course of what the pick 2 could’ve helped set this club on is huge. It’s all relevant and been a discussion topic for a long time.

Pretty sure Oscar isn’t reading this forum at this stage.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Positives:
I don't think Reid actually played as well as the stats sheet suggested, he butchered it a bit as well uncharacteristically but still got a lot of it.

 

[Footfalcon]

he gets beaten by significantly smaller men in contests constantly, never throws his weight around. I.e gutless

 

[BeornJ]

To be honest I need it too, need a break/refresh from watching us stink.

Yeah me too buddy.

I took half an hour off in the middle of the game.

Last week i snapped at my 8 year old daughter for asking if I was okay after the Roos game.

Sh#ts not good for your health man.

 

[NeedForTheReids]

Not too sure what to make of the game, absolute garbage start but ended up out scoring the blues after QT.

Positives
McCarthy absolutely terrific foot skills sublime. Was very surprised to see him on kickouts but I am not complaining at all. Harley has had a great block of footy last 6-8 weeks looks to have a real appetite for it. Billiams great reward for effort with multiple goals. Thought dewar was ok obviously finding the footy but kicking is still a worry and defending. Graham and Baker still providing the goods while Hall and Bo Allan had some nice moments hope we can persist with them.

Negatives
As mentioned above the start to the game piss poor. Looked disinterest and lacklustre all across the board. Sandy brock definitely lowered his colours today but he’ll come on soon. Maybe it means bazzo gets a crack in 2 weeks? Lot of senior players very poor - Kelly, hunt, Duggan although he slowly found his way into it. Oscar injury really sucks. Fingers crossed nothing bad, early communications from the club is possibly a calf, big sigh of relief if it is the case. Maybe it paves the way for Shanahan to debut? Still think Hutchinson could have a spell in the wafl only the 7 touches but playing hard role looks to be on the far wing most of the time.

Bye has come at a good time, can rest bodies and know the eagles can’t lose a game, although you never know with the bye.

In what way am I or Bailey acting like that?

Calling out the bloke for his effort is ridiculous, no one that’s watched him can say he doesn’t work hard on the field.

 

[Shueygod]

Convinced you don’t watch the games.

Well, Mini himself has said they need more than one mode to go to but you have to start somewhere.

Do yourself a favour and go find a mirror, stare at yourself closely and proceed to giving yourself a solid uppercut to the snoz.


Trust me, it will be an improvement and it will have the added bonus that you'll be too busy cleaning up blood to post tripe like this.

 

[Doashuey]

• 
  
• • Part b: Most on here would agree that it’s best that he leaves if the price is getting Pick 2, but some of you should hang your head. Captain might have done his ACL, and there’s 20 posts all going “there goes Pick 2 lol”. Have a look at yourself. Lots of the same people who go on about how the AFL is too woke to do a men’s mental health round and it’s all a big anti bloke conspiracy, then your captain may have ripped his knee again and it’s straight to the “this is bad for our draft hand”. Gross.

Yep. This could be extended to the game day thread in general.
I rarely venture onto the GD threads during the game other than a quick look or comment during the breaks. Find it odd that people post blow by blow thoughts on the internet rather than watch the game but each to their own, whatever. But the inecessant and continuous bile by the same fvkcing morons who have zero self control or emotional maturity to realise that typing the same unhinged opinion 10 times isn't going to make their opinions valid is quite something.
Some individuals need a perception check.

Working hard or hardly working? In what world are we going to pretend that bailey hasn't been a spud for us for pretty much the entire time he's been at the club? Yes he had a good game and kicked some goals. I was just saying if you find it unusual for people to react negatively towards him even if he has the odd good game then you and I see the game very differently in fact i'd say you see the game very differently to most people.

Where did you hear calf? Felt for the bloke as he was slowly trudging off, so hopefully you're right

 

[Elite Pete]

Dewar rising star nom? Binns might edge him with a win.

800+m is huge

 

[Cuzz09]

Positive and Negative:

It's getting really easy to move on after a loss.

It's a given

He’s been poor having to be the #1 ruck against blokes significantly bigger.

His effort has never been up for debate from anyone with a clue.

Also if you’re having a crack after a good game, you just love to have a whinge.
