Autopsy Round 22, 2022: St.Kilda v Brisbane

[George]

Those misses from King will stay with him until next year. Inexcusable. Out of the finals race because of our own inaccuracy.

Get a psychologist in and get these players out of the mental funk they've been in for years now. Bitterly disappointing.

As always, abuse isn't tolerated and exaggerated criticism is not allowed. This is fair warning.

Cheers guys

Had kicked half our goals until halfway through the third qtr. Looked a star when he was near the ball. Kicked another to put us back in front at the end of the third.

Covered the most distance out of any player on the ground.

The total opposite to the game he played against the lions earlier this year where he had several turnovers. Fantastic effort to just about cap off a great season.

 

[sasaint]

Time to sack a forward coach.

 

[Miha]

I loathe this cclub

 

[Dr Spaceman]

I’m not gonna bag Max.

He’s a kid. He’s had issues all year.

What is the club, collectively, doing to help him, and more importantly, develop him?

Or do they just think it will happen if they wait long enough?

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT!!!!!

I’m sorry man but you can’t be the main forward and not reward the team like that. Every single miss was immensely costly. And his goal kicking is a legitimate problem now. I’m not just bagging him for this game, I respect the effort he puts in to get the shots. But it’s turned into an issue and I just hope we can work with Max to fix it!

We certainly can’t brush it off anymore it’s seriously costing us. And they’re not always hard set shots. Real momentum killers when he doesn’t kick them.

Maybe the coin will drop one day I’m not too sure but for now it’s more then just a “phase” it’s been a real pattern for the last 2 seasons.

 

[phantom13]

For the love of god let Richmond win so we can go into next week not giving a s**t

 

[aussierulesrules]

Max, SORT IT OUT.

If you have to, offer to give the club back $10,000 for every miss.

I bet you won’t miss shot after shot then.

You can kick a footy, it’s all above your shoulders.

Sort it the * out.

 

[The Slug]

As usual when it's there to be won we disappear. King and membery misses before 3 quarter time were absolute killers. Had a chance to really run over them and failed. Expected nothing less

 

[sverik25]

We are the masters of finding new, excruciating ways to lose.

So over it.

 

[George]

And yes a shout out to Mason Wood

, who ran the most out of anyone on the ground and kicked 4 goals. He was our best by far.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

No more kool aid for Maxie

 

[Saintbloke]

Ratts and Richo are interchangeable as coaches I reckon. Wood did a great job, but too many passengers.

 

[phantom13]

He’s a kid. He’s had issues all year.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT!!!!!

He missed at least 3 from 30 or less directly in front.

That’s not development.

 

[Diehard Saint]

We wanted it. The effort was there.
But until we learn to kick we’re not getting it.
How demoralising for the rest of the team to watch that Goal kicking.

Sorry Max, you’re “it” tonight.
Hope it burns you the whole pre-season.

 

[denisp]

Terrible performance- first half was bad - crap misses - I don’t have the answers they are just a horrible sporting club with nothing to look forward too

 

[70s sainter]

Too little too late in the season but if it puts the focus on poor kicking for goal over summer then that’s probably a good thing . Max unlike reiwoldt has not worked on his set shot technique. He can’t hide from that anymore. Get it right Max then come back and dominate

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Windhager bullied Zorko and Neale.

 

[Sab22]

Windy, and Owens best 22 next year, thank you very much.

Thats on King. Get him the best sports shrink in Australia and force him to stop that awkward spinning of the ball when walking in. Fix those 2 issues and he’ll probably be the best player in the league.

 

[gringo2011]

Just a shame that with in the next few years Windhager and Owens will be hopeless. Anyone that hasn't been played comes in with promise.

 

[The Slug]

I hope we get obliterated next week. Make them feel it all off season

 

[D2D3]

Windhager and Owens are the ones to build our future around. If King can't learn to kick straight he can learn to play higher up the field, don't care where he finishes in the coleman its pointless if he can't deliver when the pressure is on.

 

[Saintbloke]

Thats on King. Get him the best sports shrink in Australia and force him to stop that awkward spinning of the ball when walking in. Fix that and he’ll probably be the best player in the league.

Just play him at Sandy

 

[Hubnester]

Did well to get in front despite a horrid start but it wasn't enough.

Great games from Windy and Owens, loving watching them run around. Clark did some great things and is building back to form, hopefully gets a better run at it next year.
