Autopsy Round 9, 2023: Adelaide v St.Kilda *SINCLAIR 150TH*

[George]

Players and coaches alike have to come under some scrutiny now for this. No excuses, that was completely unacceptable and below AFL standard.

Trash

Roast them hard please. We went easy on them last week because we scraped through against the worst team in the afl. No excuses this week. Hammer them

 

[Ads734]

I don’t know how all our player can seemingly not kick more then 40 metres. Battle Steele crouch Ross Howard.

Good old fashioned ruin the week performance by the heartbreakers of the AFL.

 

[BigPowerForward]

I have no words for what I just witnessed. Actually I do have some words but Bigfooty would censor most of them.
Bring up the preview for next week!

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

On the bright side Mitchito Owens worst stats game this year but ridiculous impact on the game. Pressure acts smothers tap ons and kicks just elite

 

[CursingFijian]

I wonder whether Tex Walker will go on to be a thoughtful and eloquent commentary expert like Jono Brown??

 

[Miha]

Hard to see how we get back to our best, been average for a months, we’ve hit the worst of it. Standard St Kilda to unravel now

 

[Ads734]

Our kicking out of defence today .

sunny3193 will the tour continue?

Howard was the opposite. 9 touches and about double that in errors.

 

[puppy_dog7]

Just completely outnumbered all over the ground.

Honestly looked like they had 2 extra players on the ground.

Very concerning last 2 weeks. Let’s see if it’s just a down patch or a reality check and everyone has figured us out again.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Can wait to get to work tomorrow lol

 

[Ads734]

Props again to Clark. Actually takes care with his disposals. Only one

 

[stavro#4]

Have to wait an entire week to redeem ourselves.

What a shit show.

That was so poor.

I don’t want any cuddly Ross shit. Just hit them between the eyes. Then get them to work on it and correct it next week.

 

[Hubnester]

Looked flat from the get go, had moments of intensity but they were short lived.

Higgins, Ro, Wood and Crouch tried hard all day.
Clark and Sinclair were solid too. Owens had some brilliant moments but didn't get as involved as he had been previously, same as Pou.
Glad to have the Hammer back, we look better with him, I like what he brings on top of just kicking goals.

Seems like King for Membrey is the obvious change.
If Steele is not 100%, get Windy or Bytel in for a full game please.

 

[Joffaboy]

We look slow, and no run past using the stand rule, no spread in the forwards, bomb to the pack.
Our midfield is still ordinary after a decade or more.

Agreed. Thought that since the Collingwood match that opposition teams have been able to come into our game with a plan to counter us.

We don't seem to have a counter to this. We've lucked out in the last month beating North and the Blues but we were beaten on our own deck by Port and we've been insipid against the Crows.

Had it been anyone other than North, we'd be talking about a 3 loss streak. So questions need to be asked of the playing group and the coaching group.

And it isn't our lesser stars it's the more high profile ones not stepping up to the plate. Ross, Steele, Hill. These guys are meant to be the experienced leaders and yet kids like Owens are showing more at present.

 

[my name was taken]

Kids looked good tbh, top end of the team looked flat and not interested, no one stood up.

Didn't see much in the way of on field leadership in holding our own players accountable - much like last year, shit efforts all round and no one hears about it.
