Autopsy Round 15 - Collingwood v St Kilda

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

I totally agree it wasnt a terrible effort against a highly skilled side, but once again our zoning defence was rubbish. Far too much space given to their players at times. All the teams who hang onto the ball with a kick mark game have pulled us apart - but Lyon/Enright keep going with the same rubbish plan.

I am completely over Brad Hill its time for him to play VFL.

Owens cant kick to save himself its so deflating watching him line up for goals he has NFI.

Jack Steele can find another club at seasons end as he obviously no longer cares about the Saints.

Hunter Clark could have a 20 metre start over every other midfielder in the comp and would come last. Because he is so slow to move he is always under pressure, which is a shame because otherwise he uses the ball well. He got out muscled by Steele Sidebottom at time tonight which is also damning.

Byrnes tries hard but his disposal is 3rd rate, should only be a backup VFL at best.

Taking Keeler off was an odd move...

I dont know if Lyon is tanking, but some of his personnel decisions are becoming more and more questionable.

Disappointing to lose tonight but we showed some fight, especially our younger guys like Windhager who Fox are trying to hang.

It wouldn't surprise me if thar Collingwood supporting campaigner Michael Christian hands out a bullshit ban like Stevie Baker got.

Tauru looked pretty good on debut, it's just a shame that our other first round pick Travaglia didn't get much of a crack as our sub.

I really don’t get why Ross put Brynes in we’ve seen what he can do. Travaglia does look a little lost out there but he’s really just been screwed around with consistency. It can’t be good for his form playing a quarter a match. If Ross is going to screw him around why not just let him rack up some footy in the 2nds and build from there. It’s all good bringing him up but using him as the sub seems wasteful with learning the game.
I love watching Mitch play but can someone please pull him aside and work on his kicking for goal. A couple times tonight he had a chance to put us in front and put pressure on the Pies. Only for them to waltz it down the other end and get a goal up again.

Hill is really now a liability…

All in all it was a better result than I expected

  • Keeler: looking better but has 0 strength and can’t run out a game. Subbing him was valid.
  • Travalgia: I’m starting to get worried now that he might be a Tsatas re: kicking. Hope he cleans up his kicking .
  • Tauru: awesome passion. Best tall player we’ve had since Riewoldt.
  • Caminiti: please stop spoiling your team mates. Cost us 2 goals in the 3rd. Tried hard but makes bloody dopey mistakes. A bit like Howard.
  • Hall: looks good just needs to get more ball. Quality user.
  • Marshall: got toweled up .
  • Nas: awesome passion! Love it.
  • Wilkie: takes a lot of intercept marks but would love to see him keep charging forward after marking instead of always going back on the mark.
  • Higgins: why not use up all 30 seconds and then shoot for goal?
  • Wilson: love this kid. What a ripper.

Made some strides forward tonight but it bloody hurts to lose to those arrogant scum bags .

Hate losing. But I did say before the game that I wanted us to be competitive. And I wanted to see some of our young guys play well and look the part. I think both those things were achieved. I can definitely see a good future.

A lot more talent to be layered in but the signs are good. And some guys in the VFL side pushing up. I like Boxshall. Garcia needs work but is coming along.
 
Don't mind losing if we have a crack.

Thought Clark was one of our best.

Marshall badly beaten, Cameron dominated in the ruck and around the ground.

Keeler's best game - you can just see the talent bubbling under the surface. I hope the contract extension isn't being limited to 1 year by us, we should see him as a long term prospect.
 
Not too unhappy with that game. Hall was great, Wilson looked good again and if Caminiti can fix up some of his decision making he could be a great defender. Tauru is going to take a while but great signs.

Owens has to fix his set shot. Thanks for your service Byrnes but it's time to call it. Keeler needs to get put in the forward line and stay there.
 
Feel for Phillipou. We’re mismanaging him, if it’s a soft tissue injury it’s a soft tissue injury. Can tell he’s desperate to be out there but we keep stuffing him up.

Wasn’t really a fan of the Tauru pick but he looks like he’s definitely at least got the athleticism to be what he was advertised to be.

Hall is all class. What a find.

Hill is just awful these days. Brought in to hit targets but turns it over regularly. One of the biggest wastes of money you’ll ever see.

Just staggered we went with that midfield again. At least put Sinclair or Nas someone else in there for the love of god.

If Owens could kick for goal he’d be having a De Goey 2018 or 2019 type season.

I’ve always been a Sharman fan but there’s something there with Keeler as well no doubt. Does freakish things.
 
How does Byrnes get dropped. Pou get injured late in the warm up and he comes into the 22 over Tobie? That seems a very confused selection group to me that's not on the same page.

So if they are confused I'll give this opinion

1 Tobie will be a better player tha Byrnes given proper coaching. Play him and coach him. Tonight was a complete waste of both game and time experience. Byrnes is a solid VFA level player. What were you thinking?

2. RoMa is cooked as ruck. Has been for a couple of years. Was destroyed tonight and with half a ruckman we get within 3 goals and possibly closer. Why not give Moose a try? Play RoMa forward to give us our missing height with key defenders at least.

3. Brad Hill is giving nothing onfield now. Nothing. Garcia and Boxshall will give more. Stop playing them with crap players at VFL level and play them alongside better players and fast track their development. Please.

4. Jack Steele. Love ya but your only mm advanced of point 3.
