Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 6 - Cats v Eagles Sat April 24th 1:45pm EST (GMHBA) Eagles Podcast Link in OP!

[romeohwho]

Cats -welcome return to form. Eagles very ordinary away from home again.

 

[Roobs321]

Gees. We belted you in 2008 eh?

The 'sandwich game' at Subi was a ripper. Then another 100 pointer at KP later in the year.

The 'sandwich' game was a remarkable indication at the time of how far we'd fallen in a short space of time. We'd had a number of bad results since Round 2, but we officially arrived at rock bottom with that result and would be spending a while in that vicinity.

I didn't mind the other loss as much. We had a similar loss towards the end of 2010. Those late season games where you inject some games into the kids, understand you up against something scary, see some fight and manage to take some things away from it. All humility. We still had some shreddings of ego left to be gobbled up in the 'sandwich' game.

[Atomboy]

I feel slightly less worse about getting smashed by the Tiger last week.

Will probably only last another 28 hours though....

 

[Pusswah]

hahahahaha

 

[Tas]

Wow, even we put up more of a fight.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Wow, even we put up more of a fight.

You did. I saw media outlets saying North put in the most pathetic effort but Essendon round 21 2019 and West Coast today easily hold that title.

 

[Tigerandy63]

A teams home ground is where they should play finals

Just like giants do

you’re probably right but tell me why Geelong have only ever hosted 1 final, and also why you only pick out Richmond. If we look back I am sure we will find that Hawthorn & Collingwood would have had MCG finals against them too, when finishing lower.

I am thinking it’s a simple case of whingeing for whingeing’s sake where Richmond are concerned.

 

[DickieKnee]

We have come good the second half of the year the last two flags. How many times have teams beat us home and away yet we disposed of easy in finals?

 

[Numero Uno]

hahahahaha

its ok
everyone has been laughing at your club for 25 years

 

[Seeds]

I don't care for these suburban grounds. WC don't like it off Broadway.

It's like sending the Rolling Stones to Wollongong.

Geelong isn’t a suburb.

 

[Pusswah]

Hope you're enjoying the show.

It has to do with money and getting people through the gate, it has nothing to do with bias towards MCG clubs, anyone who says that has sour grapes, Cats possibly could have made another GF or two along the way if they did play finals at KP, but you need to win at G anyway.

 

[kranky al]

Richmond fans a bit chirpy early

F/a injuries compared to us and in their safe space

Nah its a fair point

The reason i bring richmond up is that its richmond being more recent.

 

[WCE Wizard]

Predictably cats win with eagles outs, but eagles away from home are a worry for Simpson.

We are done this year that is for sure, no way near it.

(a) Yeo is not back till after the bye and even then has missed a year of footy he it will take him a while we are not expecting the 2017 to 2019 All Australian Version
(b) Shuey the same has a lot of soft tissue injuries
(c) JK is 34
(d) Hurn the same
(e) Ryan is out for two months
(f) Rioli wont be back till august
(g) Gov who knows

Even if the above come back we are not guaranteed to win anything

Every other club (except North, Saints, Dogs) gets the right to play all their finals up to the PF at their home ground. Not sure why our 4 clubs, the most marginalised in the comp, get the shaft once again.

Grand final day is a whole different beast, it's nothing like a PF. The crowd is way more neutral.

 

[Moggy]

WA derby next week now really interesting.

Gotta expect a big reaction, but Freo confidence would be massively boosted watching that.

 

[kranky al]

We may lose yeah, but it’s not because we’re mentally soft. This is a slaughter match.

Post aged badly……

 

[kranky al]

Cant win away from home , Just a mentally soft team

Aaaannnddd

Cant win at home

just a mentally soft team

 

[kranky al]

Eagles flat trackers they were up early no excuses for being off their game they don't wanna win they are just happy to win at home & make finals every year.

If we win every single game at home - which we have never done….

thats 12 games

but heres the thing - in 2018 - the year we won the flag - we won 9 games out of the 12 at optus.

9 is a long way from coming 8th.

gotta win at least 12-13

 

[THE_GUN]

Aaaannnddd

Cant win at home

just a mentally soft team

I'll give you a medal

you beat the team thats 2nd last FFS

 

[kranky al]

I'll give you a medal

you beat the team thats 2nd last FFS

And you got thrashed by the team that thrashed us - in your own ground

and you called us mentally weak.

we had to play awsy against a team with the best home ground advantage in the league

and you called us mentally weak
