Autopsy Things you learnt v Essendon.

[Tommy221987]

- Mcglynn this year has been a revelation. He literally throws everything at the ball.
- Rampe has been Solid in defence.
- A lot will complain about that loss, but coming off a 6 day and a tough match against the Hawks it wasnt at all bad.

 

[Millky95]

1. McGlynn deserves a flag. Said it once and I'll say it again. He deserves to be a premiership player.
2. Reid needs a position. He isn't working as a swing man ala LRT did. Either forward or back. Struggling with both. Maybe out of form?
3. Still need to work on getting 4 full quarters of footy on the park. Good in the first half. Lost for most of the third, alright in the 4th. Good win considering the week before, but need to build up the consistency.

 

[BloodRet]

1. If it's 11 degrees at the footy, you're gonna have a bad time.
2. The much anticipated debut of Membrey was impressive, he looked good.
3. Finals need to be played at the SCG

 

[Faysals Swans]

Membrey looks soild, I see him getting more game time, looks like a bodily replacement of goodes, all we have to do is put goodes brain in him.
Rampe is alot quicker than he looks, damn hes got some close down speed.
Mglynn is the only player in the AFL that has ever looked so hungry for a flag, please give him one, i think hes the only player that will give his life on the AFL field the way he goes for the ball.

1) Game was setup in the first quarter but we keep the oppostion always in the game with our goal kicking.
2) Goodes played his best game for the year, said it all along Parker will finish up his career as our best midfielder.
3) We are the number one target for sides to claim a scalp everyone wants a piece of us.

Essendon fans sook more each year must miss the drugs

Grundy is aa lock killed carlisle

Mcglynn is our energizer

Towers can go back to the twos

Holy shit. A rare AG sighting. Quoting this post as evidence.

You called it mate Carlisle will struggle to kick any goals

 

[The King!]

You called it mate Carlisle will struggle to kick any goals

Told ya

I did give my essendon mate 10 goals in tho so got that wronf

 

[Troystenvic]

1. Got to get the middle sorted. We miss Hanners badly and have been very ordinary around the stopages and in the guts.

2. Forward pressure still needs work. Tips especially seems to struggle in this area.

3. The win tonight should see us finish top 2, we should win the next 4 and have a home final, hopefully at the SCG.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good tough game by both teams...my worst game of the year for obvious reasons, just got home.

1. Parker is ridiculously good...how the heck did he slip to pick 40 again!
2. Tippett is critical going forward, and if that means rotating Buddy and Tippett so be it.
3. Sydney's small forwards are seriously underrated- we barely hear about them and they always bob up for 2-3 goals.
4. JPK has the Brownlow...he is just ridiculous! (thankfully I got him at $40 before lol)
5. Home final and Prelim at the SCG as the Olympic Stadium will be booked for the NRL. Good.

 

[Superstar swan]

1.rampe is developing a reputation as an extremely strong tackler. Applies awesome pressure.

2.parker will be the best mid in the game at some stage

3.rohan is excellent down back

 

[Count Dooku]

1. Got to thank dawks for giving us McGlynn
2. Got to thank dawks for giving us Kennedy
3. Got to thank dawks for giving us Franklin

Even though Franklin didnt play 37k crowd on a cold and windy night and 40k members is awesome.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Swans a very good side. Good win, well deserved.

As someone said elsewhere, a fair swap for Spangher!

 

[Grongey]

1. Kicking! 11.13 won't do it against a team like Hawthorn
2. Benny McGlynn so impressive
3. What is it with our 3rd quarters?

 

[swansfan51]

1. Being too gutless to call them drug cheating scum does not change the fact that they are
2. Every matchday thread someone bags Pyke (usually Punts) and someone mentions Derickx. Pyke is miles ahead of Derickx
3. Ryder and Carlisle won most one-on-one contests when they got them, but that was rarely. Our key defenders rely heavily on the midfield and coverage from a 3rd man up

Q3 Vs the Blues was none too shabby IIRC.

 

[Indie_]

That short breaks are a shitty excuse for losing. If you're a good team you'll win no matter how many days the opposition had more than you to recover.

 

[Parkerman]

1 According to commentators, Horse said Membrey's a marking forward who had to work on the ball below his knees. He must be a good learner.
2. Bird is grunt.
3. The way Reg, Ted, Rampe, Smith et al complement each other on different forward types is awesome. We can drop Laidler for matchup reasons and it's seamless.

 

[bedford]

Parker great
Defence great
Towers and Jetta no ticker
Shut up Bruce

 

[alanlau34]

1. Sydney weather hates AFL. Amazingly warm and lovely all week, nek minnit, cold front kills 4000 fans
2. McGlynn and Parker have been super impressive all year
3. Continual football and a defined role has given Gaz confidence leading into September. Hard to complain about that.

 

[Punts]

1 : 3 games in and Rohan is allredy looking like he can be a real weapon down back come finals , his work off the ball with his defensive side was awesome again and once he gets his attacking/confidence game going it will be huge for the side , him rampe , shaw , mal running off hb.
2: hopefully Pyke continues tonight's form into the finals , we need him up and going ( contested marking looks to be coming back ).
3 : I seriously think some of our players don't trust the young guys when they come in for the first few games , the amount times membrey worked his ass off up and down the ground to get ignored was shit house , if it was goodes he would of had 20 + and 10 marks.
4 : jets must be frustrating to coach at times
5 : Reid needs to do more
6 : the ball still comes out of our forward 50 to easy

Teddy had a great quote after the game. It went something like, "People make far too much of 6 das breaks. Truth is if you're struggling to cope with a 6 day break in this day and age it probably means you're just having a bad year. No excuses."
