Autopsy Round 21, 2018: Essendon v St.Kilda *Ross' 100th*

[Kildonan]

Yeah it was a terrible match to watch. We were outplayed by a team with no rotations in the last Q.
Anytime Saints might do something, the umpires intervened and put the game back on track for Essendon

The umpires? Plenty of things to whinge about tonight ahead of the umpires.

 

[Indie Rock]

Wait for it:

Alan Richardson:
At 3 quarter time I challenged the playing group to step up and win the final quarter and they did.

Journalist:
By 2 behinds? Against a team 4 rotations down?

Zero Friday night games next year thanks

 

[Crusty Undies]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Cho.

Yeah, nah. I'm not having this. We put the game on track for essendon. Weak club, zero spine.

 

[Geezington]

At least that s**t stain club won’t make the 8, loved that hip and shoulder from brown and freeman kicking a goal, couldn’t stand making spuds like David Myers Kyle Langford and Andy McGrath look like afl players

 

[bennymc7]

"Richo any reason why you took Jack Billings from the wing back to the forward line?"

"Yeh look umm pick 2 would be really positive for our club and Jack was putting that in jeopardy so we got that one right tonight"

 

[Monika72]

I'm sure they would beat us with 11 fit men.

 

[RWBlyf]

Embarrassing

 

[stfan]

Shocking on most fronts for the Saints.

But I thought that Pierce played a surprisingly good game in the ruck and around the ground.

Andy McGrath is a jet mate

 

[saint_]

Not a lot positives. Looking like a very bleak future, but shout out to Lewis Pierce 18 disposals, 27 hitouts, 98 Supercoach points. Great game.

 

[bergholt]

Newnes is now averaging 15.75 disposals and 2.3 tackles per game this year. That's less than any year since 2013. If he's injured then stop playing him, if not then should we trade him for a pack of smarties?

 

[TheEnsign]

My wife is from Japan and doesn't care much about footy, but she comes to a couple of games and watches some on tv too.

She watched tonight and in q4 begged me to let our 10 yr old son choose his own team to support rather than making him a saints fan.

Our shiteness transcends cultural boundaries people.

 

[Kildonan]

I couldn't handle the commentators tonight - had to turn the sound off and watched it yelling at the players, the umpires and the world

 

[Dark Sharks]

Acres did some good things, more in his kit bag than people give him credit for.

Marshall impressed me, raw but something to work with.

Billings should have finished with 4 goals. 25 touches and 2 goals is a reasonable return from him.

Freeman got through another game unscathed

All positive things to take away from that game

 

[Drake Huggins]

He

He didn't, did he, Indie Rock? If he did, it surely must be over for him. That's an insult to the intelligence of everyone connected to the club.

 

[cartwright]

Lazy effort.
They should be embarrassed

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Expected. Doesn’t soften the blow, however.

 

[Monika72]

I would take Andy McGrath in a heart beat,

 

[Ads734]

So hang on right, Ben Patton was selected this week after being emergency 10 times was it. Has dominated across half back and in the midfield. Probably break down has been 60 Per cent inside mid 30 per cent Half back and 10 per cent forward so Richo decides to play him as a forward the whole game. This sums up everything that is wrong with our development and why none of our young kids flourish early. FMD give the kid a chance to succeed. It defied any logic.

I was so angry, the sad thing is he did the same thing with Hunter Clark.

 

[Saint_J]

faarrk me wel well well..... the only Autopsy should be on Ritchos coaching carrer. ( it's f%$king dead!)

 

[Longmembrey]

Significantly pleasing that there are only 8 quarters of this campaigner of a season left.
