Autopsy Round 4, 2021: St.Kilda v West Coast

[Verdun66]

I want to congratulate the man that gave Dan McKenzie that extended contract. What foresight. Probably the Cho.

Seriously, really pleased for Dan. I thought he was terrific again today. Must be so difficult to be almost hated by many of the fans of the club you play for. I thought he was brilliant. Good last week too in a shocking performance.

 

[gringo2011]

Yep and bring on the fun times for the Saints and us

We need an oil mogul to slip us a few billion to help out our operational costs.

he's been a bit of a beacon in the last few games. Our little Athelstan (for the Vikings watchers) turned into a warrior.

I haven’t been a fan
But that was some game from him hopefully a turning point for him

 

[saintsrfreak]

Battle looks so good as a back man. He's wears an opponent and loves a contest. He's ideal as a modern back with the new rules. He's got closing speed and good hands, doesn't lose many one on ones.

Beautiful kick as well

 

[stavro#4]

Rubbed one out over the saints win.

Just fired a second load over Leeds.

Might aswell watch the saints replay and go a third.

One of favorite posts of all time ( I’ve had a couple )

Now i'm picturing the simpsons episode where Mr Burns in an alien.

This season is all over the place , we know it takes a few rounds to sort out game style etc , but this season is something else.
It seems if a team gets a run on they hard to stop.
McKenzie has all the attributes to be a good footballer and it's great he is showing us what he has, he can run all day and is fearless - if he can keep this form up he will be a fixture in the 22.
Bytel also doesn't look out of place in the best 22.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Just seen the dmac holding the ball again to get us within 20 points.

What an absolute beast!!!! Humble as all fu** with the celebration too

Was it also DMAC with the handball to Billings then to Buts for the first of the comeback goals? (Someone got smashed in an Eagles tackle)

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

How good was Steele it's almost just expected that he's best on ground these days. What a star.

 

[Munga]

Yep that was DMac getting crunched. All the Eagles were running wide, DMac turned back inside, took the hit and dished to Billings.

 

[leph]

With how Max played today I can't stop thinking about the prospect of both Kings running around in our forward line. We'd have to win a flag, it would be criminal not to.

Yeap!!! That was him!

 

[Munga]

Carlisle 88% game time, that's unbelievable even considering he nullified 90% of NicNat's influence.

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

Our captain. ❤

That crunching tackle he laid was the bomb!

He's held his own this season compared to others. But tonight was something else.

What a beast
but he's just an A Grade you knowx- lol

yes it was, ducked under a tackle to get the ball out

 

[thekizzler]

For all those talking about the Bytel head knock, he never went off the field.

Once he eventually got up and got to the next stoppage, he was a part of the next clearance we got.

Watch it on the replay.

The kid has guts.

Love how he always finds a way to kick goals , separates the a grade from the elite of the elite he is tracking to be one of our best mids of the last 20 years

 

[stfan]

As we said. Effort. System is fine.

Yes effort was the main thing lacking, but it was not just effort that was addressed.

Compared to last week:

1/ players were actually played where they are best again,
2/ blind freddy could see we also embraced the short kicking game that the new stand on the mark rule encourages.
3/ playing Carlisle often at FF allowed Max more freedom and drew him at times much further from goal

 

[stfan]

Can anybody confirm if it was a tactical or effort adjustment ?

No, it was both. It was a tactical AND effort adjustment

Well that plus getting Roma back We walk taller and play better when he is on the park. When he went off we wilted and he lead the charge at the start of the third quarter to turn the tide our way.

 

[stfan]

Wasn't there this week, so may have missed something structural (will have a look on the replay).

We used the short kicking game and exploiting the man having to stand on the mark much better. Our best for the year. While we still bombed at times, we bombed less than we have.

Also Carlisle at times went to FF allowing King to play further from goals.

Crouch playing as a mid, along with an impressive Bytel gave us our best midfield group for the year. Both are genuine mids.
