Autopsy Round 6 vs Brisbane, Metricon Stadium, Sunday 24th April, 4:10pm AEST

[RowellAnderson12]

We're missing what he was in the GAJ years. Burst inside mid player.

I wouldn't touch him these days.

Haha yeah I was joking, but yes prime Hall would be perfect

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Powelly down on form, but he's got the credits in the bank. We know what he can provide when he's on.

Don't think his role as changed at all. Just not quite judging the ball like he can and dropping some marks.

Ballard really down on form as well

 

[SandyToes]

Positives
1. Ainsworth worked hard, especially in the first half,
2. another nail in Dews coffin ( surely the packet is empty)
3. I didn’t bother going, have seen enough this year to know nothings changed, saved myself $100 in flat beer and cold food

Negatives
1. That the fans have had to put up with this for 12 years while internally the club pulls each other’s dicks
2. Lemmons gets cut to shreds week in week out by his assignment
3. That I still care enough to be pissed off enough to write this

Yeah-I sent the kids with their mother today
Feeling a bit unwell so didn't want to make it worse by having to look at those smarmy arsed Lions supporters

Can I add a positive and negative

Positive;
The auction guernseys should be cheaper

Negative;
They will never be worth anytime

Ballard really down on form as well

Yep. He & Lemmens all well down on last year.

Three of our back six who have traditionally been rocks for us have just struggled this year. Collins is still doing what he does, but he can't do it all.

 

[Sunny_]

Since thaat knock vs Melbourne he doesnt seem to be impacting the contest as much.I wonder if he's under advice?

Might be subconscious more than anything.

 

[SandyToes]

Lyons is the sideshow that keeps giving, but in an ordinary team he isn't lifting them out of mediocrity

The difference between us and Brisbane today was
Daniher
Neale
Cameron

We haven't ever attracted a single player like that other than GAJ in our inaugural year-and we had to offer him a million dollars and the captaincy to get him here

 

[Supersuns]

Lemmo doesn't usually get his colours lowered but his positioning on Cameron was right awful.
As bad a game I've seen him play in the last 3 seasons

 

[eppo67]

I really just fear we will never move forward in a meaningful way under Dew. I just don't think he's a Senior Coach.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Positive
- Since Dew's reign started we've played 89 games, this was our 15th highest score in that time.

Negative
- Still lost by 50 points

 

[SandyToes]

I really just fear we will never move forward in a meaningful way under Dew. I just don't think he's a Senior Coach.

In his interview he described feeling like he had developed his relationships enough to start questioning and expecting more from players
That's obviously a good thing, but not sure it's the best thing?
Would a Clarkson would be waiting to "develop relationships"?
I'm one of the Luddites of course who thought Rocket was a good coach
Any more of this 1 step forward 2 steps backwards stuff though and we might see Shaw in as the caretaker coach back half of season

Let Steven King coach. Ain't no-one back chatting that 200cm monster

 

[SandyToes]

To be fair we've had a tough fixture
Got lucky with the Eagles first up when they were fielding their reserves and we played well against Carlton-who are still 4 and 2
But Melbourne and Brisbane seem to be better this year and no-one will be surprised if StKilda plays finals
The outlier was GWS but we've always struggled against them away
It's not outlandish to suggest the top 6 is set already 6 games in

Yep.

Brisbane and the Giants are these two teams that we just don't play well against. Really big mental demons against them.

I'd even add Port to that list.

No matter how bad these three teams are going, they routinely find an extra few legs against us and we just go a few rungs down.

I'm really curious to see how we start and go against Collingwood next week.

 

[ASHMOREACE]

Ballard really down on form as well

He's playing on Gorillas cos our list manager can't put together a balanced list when he should be on th r mid forwards , also we are throwing Davies to the lions , he should never played before Sharpe on current form , all we are doing is destroying his confidence

 

[SandyToes]

I really just fear we will never move forward in a meaningful way under Dew. I just don't think he's a Senior Coach.

It's an old argument for us-but realistically the only coach we attract is a second tier re-run like Rhys Shaw(although he might be good) or someone untried which means another 3-5 years of reconfiguration
The Club has painted itself into a 10 year corner with Stuey I fear

 

[ASHMOREACE]

Positive
- Since Dew's reign started we've played 89 games, this was our 15th highest score in that time.

Negative
- Still lost by 50 points

Defence went out the windows that last quarter from both sides , hence the high score

 

[RogueRen]

Today Dew because the longest Suns coach…and has the worst win/loss record in the club’s history!! Time to go Stuey

 

[Sunny_]

Fages saying this is the best GC side he's played against. Gave us a pretty good wrap.

 

[SandyToes]

Dew was quite emotional in the presser-particularly defending Izak- I think poor old Fish copped it when he was really just asking whether Dew saw him having more time in midfield
I reckon it was just an excuse to vent-and I think it shows how ugly he really thought this game was
I completely agree with him btw-I'm not sure where Rankine earned the selfish tag.
I reckon he's too far the other way- never burns a team mate
Seemed to be trying really hard to control his anger when talking about Collo being a "lighthouse" in defence at the moment
I guess given the way Lyons haunts him every Q Clash it wouldn't be wise to bring up Trent McKenzie

Easy to be kind when you're like a bug that's just been squashed on the windshield of his Ferrari

Easy, but true. We're better this year.

At the very least he can see what we're all seeing: Collins is playing a lone hand down there.

That's what I thought too-at least there's some things the coaches and fans agree on

 

[kreglze]

Was happy Dew went into bat for Rankine. Apologised to Fish after the fact so no harm there.

Glad he put the blow torch on the other underperforming defenders though. Lemmens, Ballard, Powell and Weller all below their best.
