Autopsy Round 15 - Collingwood v St Kilda

[beside the seaside]

Shall we get a game day thread going?

Kinda pumped even though I'm pretty sure we'll get pumped.

Too many holes in too many areas at the moment for us, but keen to see Phillipou get back to some form in the second half of the year and excited for a Viking debut.

Should be a great atmosphere albeit thanks to the Pies home crowd. Really strange that the game is at Marvel actually, would have been a great one to have at the MCG.

Go Saints!

1st 3 qtrs were great, was very happy with it.

Last qtr beaten by a better side, simple.

Don't care what the stats will say after this game, but Rowan got an absolute bath.

Well TDK might be scratching his head over Carlton’s performance today.

 

[Mowman]

Does Membrey feel pissed at the club? Seems to mean a lot to him.

What ?

Wish it would mean a little to some of our players

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Sorry but the quicker we replace Byrnes the better .... he is too small for the position he plays .... no aerial presence .... a headless chook for most of the time

 

[StFly]

Tried the rollover function..

Well what to say really, good enough showing faded late, just not there yet and well, we tried.

 

[my name was taken]

Assume all our mids in the squad are healthy, at what number do you pick Steele. He must be a great leader behind closed doors

 

[Saintbloke]

Too many faded out of the game in the last one and a half quarters, plus Lyon's dumb forward structure needs a good rethink.

Needs to reinvent himself as an inside mid while we're light on for them or he's going to become your classic list clogger.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

An OK game considering

 

[Saint Shags]

Look thought our boys tried. Ran out of steam which let the mistakes really impact late.

Have some questions of our defence and forwards. We cannot play a marking game with our current set up. We showed by playing the dirty ball that we had more luck and looked more potent.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Not too upset with the loss. Collingwood are ridiculously skilled.
Upset about the stupid decisions being made.
Whatever the medical team is doing. Byrnes being dropped then emergency then being played over trav.
Hill given licence to consistently be shit. Subbing keeler off when we need height.
Owens being misused in the forward line.
we really just shoot our selves in the foot before the games even begun

 

[Hayes4PM]

Honestly biggest downer about tonight is Pou. All the chat about him leading the way in pre-season and I reckon he's played maybe 2 games this year? Sucks. That on top of King needing a 3rd surgery again this year. Would love all of the under 25 lads out there getting games together.

There's enough signs, forward line lacking a genuine key tall, midfield lacking a burst goal kicking mid.

 

[mighty_sainters]

Feeling for Phillipou tonight, gutted to see how much it hurts him being out. Max the same.

I’ll give up both left and right nut for them to have a good pre season and to stay fit for 2026.

Lyon’s? You mean Bolten’s

 

[jumperfan]

Oh well, that was expected. Tauru looked really nice, NWM probably played his best game, Keeler will be a gun and Hall is a gun. Really needed more from Sinclair and Steele - the way their old guys played vs ours was the difference tonight.

 

[The Slug]

Just scraped in for the honourable loss in the end. Never really a threat of winning they held us a at bay with their class.

In the rare event Max King

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

can ever make it on the park, Sharman will go another level. He's so clean but just copping the best defender each week.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Stocker has come back an absolute shadow of his earlier form.
Byrnes should only be back up now. We can’t progress with lower skill level players.

 

[beside the seaside]

They're a high quality side, it actually kind of went better than I expected.

Great signs from Keeler. Has improved out of sight. Also thought Sharman was really good tonight. And I liked Hammer down back.

We had some great ball movement and at one stage it looked like we had them on the ropes but they went up a gear and we couldn't go with them.

Concerns are some of our older guys are starting to look past it. Love Hill but his turnovers are killing us. Steele really poor. Marshall fought back but Cameron had a monster game.

The team just looks so disjointed in terms of leaders and youngsters etc. So much being left to so few, eg Wilkie who is just battling away, Macrae in the middle.

Think we're a bottom 3-4 side this year sadly.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

We’ve got a promising team, I’d give the coaching department a good clean out but.

 

[Ads734]

Firstly, collingwood fans have to be the scumiest , filthy grubs I have seen at the footy in a long time.

Now I’ll start with negatives
- Pou I thought he was fine so very frustrating to not see him there.

Trav Sub
Like why Ross. Stop putting our young players as subs pls.

Our tackling and chasing. Some of our kicking into the 50 continues to be dreadful.

Marshal early

Umpiring just dumbfounds how marshal continuously gets wrestled and held but nothing.

Our goal kicking accuracy.

Our non use of guys like max hall , Darcy Wilson



Pros
Coopers skill level at ground level is serious.
Keeler is starting to show his skill now. Will only get better

Taru had moments
- still want us to develop him as a forward. Will better for it.

Idk, it felt like we weren’t that bad but also not good.

Anyways hate those grubs.

 

[RBW_007]

The effort was there and some of the younger guys stood up and gave us something to look forward to.

Unfortunately whenever we started to look like getting a run on, the momentum was killed by some simple errors, which would result in a goal for Collingwood. You only need to give good teams like the Pies a sniff and they'll get their belief back and play accordingly. It's all well and good if a team takes back the momentum but we are our own worst enemy at giving it away off our own bat.

 

[Jade Buddha]

We’ve got a promising team, I’d give the coaching department a good clean out but.

Starting with Bolton.

 

[Minga]

I could watch players like Tauru and Keeler glide across the turf for many years to come.

Felt like maybe the best game this season in regard to showing where we’re overall at.

Good lord, fox still dragging windhager through the mud. Only an issue when it's daicos right?
