Autopsy Round 9 2024 – Essendon vs GWS Giants, Saturday 11 May, 4.35pm AEST @ Marvel Stadium

[Drummond]

Any chance of a clearance? 16-7 inside 50’s this quarter. Smashed.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Ominous.

 

[Giant Strides]

Bad option off the mark from Briggs ... handpass to Taylor who had no-one free to kick it to ... had to go for a contest, which we lose and set up a kick for goal. One of too many times in that quarter.

 

[Colonial]

Pathetic

 

[sydney_gws]

Going to lose this I think

They have the momentum, and the crowd and we are fumbling all over the place

We are still in it, but they will have so much belief after that qtr.

 

[Colonial]

we are playing as if we are learning a new game plan again.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

We are still in it…Kingsley to give one of his motivational sprays that inspire our team to win in this last quarter- time for Toby to shine. Let’s Go Giants

 

[Land of the Giants]

Not handling their pressure.

 

[Section226]

Hope our recruiters are combing every competition for a ruck who deserves and wants an opportunity.

We are bottom of top 8, at best, unless we can get more use of the ball out of the centre/stoppages.

Briggs is playing like someone who needs a break (or at least a rocket).

 

[Orange Agent]

Sub Whitfield out, why would you keep him down there.

 

[Battlepants]

We really need a plan B for when Whitfield gets tagged. Which will be every game for the rest if the season.

 

[Drummond]

I’m not saying there’s some link between XO and this worrying little patch, but he wasn’t the bloke I’d be dropping given the soft underbelly we’re displaying. And not sure what Peatling did wrong either, had been impressed with his clearance work.

Has Bedford played a good game all year? Cadman as expected still super inconsistent. And that’s fine, but as a challenging team he’s not the answer. He will be, but he isn’t right now.

 

[Battlepants]

Well, that's the game.

 

[Colonial]

push in the back for that goal.

But heck it hope they smash us. playing like guaranteed millionaires. Soft.

 

[Giant Strides]

Not coming back from this.

 

[Simmofreo]

We will drop to 5th after this. AFL is a brutal game

[Section226]

Whitfield 17 disposals - being shut out.

Kelly - 14 disposals - moments of brilliance but goes missing too often for a million dollar player

Bedford 13, Daniels 12, Callaghan 11, Cadman 3 (??!!)

Too many passengers.

 

[Colonial]

as an aside Huddo heck off you Vfl flog.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Uncontested marks 81- 57.

Says it all.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Hitouts to advantage 17 - 6.

The obsession with playing the mosquito fleet has backfired. Bedford should not be in the centre square. If his form is not good enough as a small fwd he should go out of the team. We start losing contested ball and clearances and lose matches. We need harder bodies in the midfield.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Marks 95 - 70.

 

[Section226]

We go forward, and the Bombers outnumber us by 3.

LAZY, LAZY, LAZY.

Pessimistic - yes, but we are not a top 8 team.

Not unless things change dramatically.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Dreadful.

No other word for it.

 

[Colonial]

we wont the 8 if Kingers cant get them up and about. Energy dead.
