Autopsy The Post-GWS Autopsy Thread

[ThePuma #9]

So Eagles.

Can we start planning for the future now please?

Abysmal performance.

Edit: Thread changed from Vent to Autopsy.

 

[Forward Press]

Bring on 2018.

 

[Crimson King]

In the end 8 point margin flattered us. They are scary good with their skills, run and structures.

Abysmal performance.

No - good effort against a much better team. Could have lost by 5-10
Recruiting is the key

 

[Matera92]

Simpson can **** off and Priddis can carry his bags.

 

[ep2018]

Play the kids. Season is done, will probably lose to GC away next week before the bye.

 

[Max zero]

No vent. Better team won.

Tried hard just not good enough.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Midfield again lets the entire team down. Priddis out forever.
Duggan given rest of season to improve. If he doesn't - delist.
Bring in Venables next week
Gaff and Masten traded end of season

 

[lewigie]

They put THREE ****ING PLAYERS ON KENNEDY AND NONE OF OUR FORWARDS ****ING BENEFIT

IS IT BAD COACHING OR WHAT

 

[Mop]

Actually fairly impressed with the effort. Was a narrow loss against one of the best two teams in the comp. Accept that we're making up the numbers this year.

JK's leg though

Sorry for coming onto your board right now but that is the first really good game I've seen Jetta play for the Eagles. 28 disposals would have to be career high as well, or very close to it.

All Simpson has done since he has been here is delay the inevitable.
Should have started rebuilding the day he set foot in the door.

Yeah looked like he turned the clock back to 2012.

 

[inbetween]

Yep. Clearly the better team won.

Normally Im positive and I had higher expectations, but its dawned on me that we just arent that good and we get carried by a few players like JK.

On the plus side Jetta played well. Want to see more of that.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Didn't think we were too bad. GWS are just a much, much better team.
Liked the ins, gave us a bit more run. We need more speed, less plod.

Very angry about some of those turnovers. Amateur hour some of them.

 

[dajesmac]

Pretty good performance for a middling side with injuries against a top side with injuries.

Hopefully this silences the "STFU were 6-3 man that's pretty good" group of posters

 

[Macca81]

Couldn't win a centre clearance if their lives depended on it. But lets continue to defend those slow plodders we have.

Oh and Darling is the opposite of clutch.

Used to happen with Sumich all the time. Nothing changes. Other forwards need to step up.

OK, what are the ramifications? I am hoping it's a reality check that we simply can't continue to play Priddis, Mitchell and Hutchings, or Redden, in the same team. All great servants, so I am not knocking them, but you can't have them in the same midfield.

Any other thoughts (sensible ones) from people?

Half shit day, first time on this forum for awhile so read the rumours that Puma could be gone next year replaced by ISC, then JJK get injured, now Eagles lost!

 

[Mop]

Wholeheartedly agree. Jetta was very good, was driving our guys and was trying to get the crowd up. More of it and we'll have the player he can be.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Chris Masten will be the worst 200 game player in the history of the AFL

 

[Boohemian]

Retrospect will suggest that GWS and GC should have received end of round selections rather than picks based on their finishing position after their initial draft concessions. GC have been managed abysmally but GWS astutely, and the AFL will lose more purists than converts with this experiment as GWS forge on to win everything within the next 5 years.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

If we're going to melt can we at least do it properly. Some shocking melts last week, absolute snoozefest.

I want fold the team, sack them all, shut the club down stuff. Come on boys, lift.

 

[Jootube]

I genuinely believe Redden offers more than Priddis, and Redden doesn't offer heaps.

 

[dispute]

Why did we bring Petrie back?
