Autopsy vs St Kilda // Rd 16, 2019

[gokangas]

You’re wrong as usual. He was very good.

That you son?

 

[Kanga Glory]

I remember early in his career, Goldy had great skills. His skills now by foot and his awareness are shocking.
His kicking has got to a stage where he should handball at all times.

 

[Cool Kangas]

1 down. 11 to go.

It's not as if ruckmen & kicking have ever been associated highly in football.

His overall disposal efficiency is 78.7%. Ranked as elite for handball.

Just had a look at the gameday thread .......

Just how many prominent AFL figures do you meet at Auskick TT?? I'm not fully convinced that you're not some sort of conglomerate of about 10 different posters merged into one omnipotent moderator.

We used to have Garry Lyon Craig Kelly Peter Schwab and Peter Rohde and Neale Daniher at ours. Daniher infrequent cos he was coach of MFC at the time. And Neil Balme - forgot him.

Mate of mine works at the G on game days. Reckons the worst match for crowd behaviour is St Kilda v Richmond.

Richmond is right up there. When I was working there they had a 'rebel' cheer squad called The Grog Squad. Used to stand at M1/M2 behind the goals on Punt Rd end. Bunch of animals.

Thoght it would have been worthwhile giving Durdin a run in the ruck instead of Larkey. Durdin didn't really have a good match up and Larkey is much better as a KPF than a ruck.

 

[Caracas]

Who replaces him though?

From the VFL, excluding defence, Curtis Taylor is the only available player who could come in, if he’s not injured. He is something very special, it has to be said. Not a replacement for our mids, though. If Garner was available, he would be in 10000%.

Curtis isn't a viable option for Ahern mate. Not doubting the kids raw ability.

He's more in the Zurhaar mould.

 

[Caracas]

We were 46 at one stage but didn’t put the foot down to blow the floodgate open. Still room for improvement. More killer instinct.

That had more to do with the Saints really giving it a red hot go. The slope in Blundstone is a huge factor too.

BTW, Goldy led the hit outs to advantage 9 to 3 at half time (the actual period of the game where we won the match).

He's being undersold a bit, but that's par for the course over the past few years.

 

[big_e]

It was mentioned in the commentary that it was the first time since 2015 that we've had two players kick five goals in the same match.

2015: Goldstein (aged 27); Harvey (37)

2019: Zurhaar and Larkey - both 21

Strap yourselves in, folks.

 

[Caracas]

Froggy was good today. Particularly in the first half.

The tempo of the match suited him.

Dumont was Dumont. He always takes up the slack. LDU was a tad flat, Mason was injured, Jed appeared to be managed and Turner was a little quiet. Trent patched over all of that, I think.

Tends to step up in the second half of games, whereas this time he started well.

Agree Snake.

Saints have struggled to cover more than one marking forward over the last month (maybe longer?) so not a huge surprise that Zurhaar and Larkey hit the scoreboard. Good signs though.

 

[SMaturin]

Harder for longer. As predicted, the Saints responded physically after being touched up in the first but weren't able to sustain the heat. Add to that, aside from Bruce they had no avenue to goal.

I think that they too will be a side waking up farking sore for the next few days after playing us.

Was that the classic game against Melbourne in Tassie that went to the wire?

Yep - https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2016/111220160410.html

We led by 36 at QT, behind by 7 at HT. They kicked the last two goals and we hung on by 5.

Goldy is having a great year. Reckon he's been genuinely beaten maybe once and has shaded quite a few "better" players. That kick off the square into his man though, that's a Goldy special. It's one he does fairly regularly when he doesn't back off enough, hardly a hanging offence though

It was 2016 though, not 2015.

Stretch had the snap in the dying seconds to win it, or at least draw it, and missed!

Kent.

 

[Kimbo]

Kent.

No need for that. He was just trying to be helpful.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Kent.

He nailed his goal, Stretch missed his at the end
