AFL Autopsy Stomped by the Giants

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

100% agree, but given injuries I would have sent McGrath in. but also bursts from Kako & Johnson.

Ok looks like McGrath did attend a couple too and Perkins too.

Just worried Scott may break Merrett/Durham and Shiel if he over works them in there.

It would actually be quite good if Perkins and McGrath could show something in the midfield at the back end of the year to help out.

I'm one of the most vocal critics of McGrath on this board, but I think he showed some things in the guts that no healthy player on our list is capable of. Wouldn't mind giving him a bit of a run through the middle more often.

Big no to Perkins though, he might be the worst defensive midfielder in the entire competition when he finds himself there.

Watched Iron Man last night, what'd I miss?

Great effort, bad coaching.

Roberts was our lowest rated player on the ground, including zak Johnson

While I think that's a little harsh, I do think that people gloss over his disposal a little too much. Not super worried because he's a teen, but it's definitely an area he needs to work on

Yep. Had some shockers by foot.

Straight down the throat of GWS players.

Roberts tries - the effort is there. He’ll take a great mark and while his defensive efforts aren’t perfect it is better than some. He’s got care factor. He’s young and his game is developing.

Oh he is going to be good no doubt. Just needs to adjust his kicking abit.
