Autopsy Round 7 - St Kilda v Brisbane

[Hubnester]

Lots to discuss, not much good.

We continue our lethargic patch, the team looks like a completely different team from our strong wins earlier in the season.
The umpiring somehow continues to sink to new lows, making the game more unwatchable at every opportunity they get.
Somehow, as one of our few players who still have a pulse, Higgins has now kicked the equal most goals of any player this season, which is a commendable effort.

Lets hope we can regroup and get back on track before this season goes to waste.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Players shit, coaches shit, umpires shit

 

[aussierulesrules]

Blah

That is all.

 

[Munga]

I was out all day so missed the match. Just saw Garcia was subbed out early on, that's a tough loss and I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for the lad.

 

[jumperfan]

First half wasn’t good enough, but we did show grit to attempt a comeback in the third before the umps killed the game. Still crying out for a big key forward and a better midfield. Reckon Hugo will be sent to Sandy for a week and I’d like to see Wilson go back too.

 

[cartwright]

Can’t give away first quarter like that, and expect anything different.

Backline better with Howard.
Midfield still too many issues.

Stocker is great.

[Hayes4PM]

We're back in "honourable losses" territory. Fantastic.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Just as a note

We have played the teams finnishing

2
3
4
5
6

The other teams we’re
Crows away rd 1

And Richmond.

That’s some cooked fixturing

Horrific. While Carlton had played all 3 bottom 3 teams inside the first 6 rounds…

If we had their draw every year we’d win two more games per season. The AFL couldn’t try any harder to make them good again.

While they give us a shit sandwich of a draw year after year.

 

[The Jack]

The scores we are conceding is a massive concern.

The Steele hate has been embarrassing.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

I hope we spend the rest of time just tearing shreds into the academies and umping. I mean it doesn't matter anyway...

 

[cartwright]

The Steele hate has been embarrassing.

Not warranted today.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

We play so much better playing fast, 2nd and 3rd were good.

But **** me dead the umpires killed the contest in the third, killed our momentum, killed the crowd, killed the game.

 

[holllywood]

Can someone explain why Hugo was subbed so early?

Plenty of other were worse than him …

 

[Ads734]

Horrible horrible 1st half. Second half ruined by the umps.

More possitive than last week.

• With Naz going on ball and kicking goals his cieling is now top 5 player in the comp imo
• Stock and Wilks continue to fly the flag.
• us being crap has forced Owens some time on the ball. Pls persist

Higgins equal Coleman leader.
Maxxy Hall and Lance imo showed some signs in very very limited opportunities.

Midfield stacks.

Pou back next week and give the vike a run.

Lastly,

We have played the teams finnishing

2 Port away
3 Geelong
4 Giants adelaide
5 Brisbane
6 Dogs

The other teams were
Crows away rd 1
And Richmond.

That’s some cooked fixturing in anyone’s world.

Kane and Dillon are as corrupt as those cheating umpires. It actually made the game borderline impossible to watch. I legitimately laughed at the Bailey FK in the third.

 

[Cleanupsoup]

Can't get away with this midfield anymore. Steele worked his way into the game at least. But Windhager was diabolical the entire game. On merit, should not play next week.

Our stricture fell apart way too easily, something we haven't seen since Lyon came in.

Wilkie was tremendous, Nas rebounded nicely after a terrible 1st quarter, and worked well in the middle.

No one else really caught my eye in a good way

 

[saintron]

Tell me what the fu-- is wrong with StKilda. Seems they have lost the plot doesnt want to play for each other plus I recon they have lost confidence in Ross Lyon. Nobody want to come to this shit club if they play like this. I recon anybody should hand back there memebrship maybe the club might think about whats going on.

 

[bergholt]

Tough draw and injury-affected players, take the L and forget it. Season starts now. Could be far worse than 3-4 at this point. Harden up and look forward.

 

[Ads734]

I hope we spend the rest of time just tearing shreds into the academies and umping. I mean it doesn't matter anyway...

we get shafted regardless

 

[Kennedy84]

I'm getting really frustrated at our young players being subbed out in the second QTR, Hastie in round 1, Garcia today, it's just dumb.

Give the young guys a chance of fixing problems during the game. These early years are when we get the highest growth returns and we're throwing away their time on ground.

It also left us in a compromised position when Wood got injured. Not sure what point they're trying to make...

 

[PrimalConstruct]

Can't control play if you repeatedly pass to players under pressure and drop it on the deck.

 

[gringo2011]

Can someone explain why Hugo was subbed so early?

Get speed around the ball I assume. Jones was very good so I think that worked.

 

[hayes]

And there it is, the yearly reminder that we are lightyears off a flag for the third week in a row. Umpiring was bad but their kicking at goal was worse, if they kicked straight it would’ve been a result similar to the last time we played them.

Everything’s so hard with this midfield and ruckman. Can’t win a clearance and even if we lose it there’s no hurt factor in any of them.

Third week in a row a contender has mauled us. Hard not to get sucked in by our start to the year but it looks like my original prediction for the season is what will happen and TBH it really needs to. Never seen a coach throw so many magnets around looking for a winner, good teams don’t need to do that every week.

All off shorter breaks btw.

 

[Sully111]

I'm so sick of our stupidity and lack of skill.

Ne excuses for it. Just basics of the game like lower your eyes going inside 50. Hit a basic kick to a teammate.

Windy on notice. Wilson on notice.

If you can't execute basic skills you should be dropped.

It's embarrassing to watch.
