Autopsy Round 21, 2023: St.Kilda v Carlton

[SaintsSeptember]

my point was more that ross had placed sharman on sicily and it worked

they do. opposition analyst.

Well it worked, but it didn't work at all the first time we played them.
The first time we played RTB was sitting there going, "who is that man taking all the intercept marks smithers".

Either our opposition analyst is rubbish, or someone needs to listen to him ( or her if its the trainee receptionist ), because we seem to need to get smashed by a side before we can play on them.

RTB said he went to Dogs - Tigers game with our opposition scout

probably worth doing some live games, but video can do far more.
"What happened there? Go back and we'll look at it again in slow mo "

For years we have held our hopes on players showing flashes of brilliance but we need to be ruthless come this trade period. Looking at Gresh, Hill in particular but almost every player should be on the table barring a few young ones that have shown a bit.

Agree on Hill, but there’s way too much Ross the Boss love for that to happen.

Do teams really need to employ someone to tell them Sicily is good in defense? Sometimes I wonder what they do all week when it comes to preparation for the next team.

You can just imagine at quarter time the coach saying ‘who’s that number 6 bloke?‘ as if they’ve never heard of him.

No idea where to post this. I was at training yesterday and heard someone saying the Blues have offered Dow two years and if we offer him three he’s ours. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not.

I'd let them keep him.

 

[EddieMurphy]

I'd let them keep him.

Would be a Minchington type of situation

 

[DougalHoward]

I'd let them keep him.

Why he's better than Seb Ross or Jack Bytel

Why he's better than Seb Ross or Jack Bytel

Not really. He's pretty ordinary. I'd rather roll the dice on a mid in the draft. Ross has been a top 5 player in our side for years. Fans might not rate him but all of his coaches have. I think he looks like another Zac Jones, runs fast but can't kick. He might have okay games but he looks very limited.

Why he's better than Seb Ross or Jack Bytel

He might be better than younger Bytel, but he's not better than older Seb Ross.
He might end up better than Seb Ross , but he's not now.

So he's iike Dunny Jones.

Maybe we'd be better off without any of Dow Ross or Bytel on our list - their experience counts for little. Draft mids with the potential to be better than all of them

Depends on how far we want to drop away. We already have a midfield that is barely adequate. Losing depth with out replacing any is going to make us uncompetitive. We likely lose Gresham and Bytel. Possibly Jones and McKenzie and Seb Ross is starting to break down. Steele has gone down every year and Billings looks like he's hard to rely on even if he does stay.

We need bulk players even if we expect the kids to move into those roles. They look a minimum 2 years off taking over and throwing them to the wolves doesn't always work out well.

Flanders, Henry, Callaghan types should be on our radar. Dow, Jonas even Tomlinson looks like a strange direction for us to head in. Thee is a midfield cliff coming upland we need to start patching the hell out of it just even to transition across. Gags was a real stuff up with structural planning.

3 years! We’d hope that’s not true otherwise the whole thought process and brain power of our guys would be cooked
