Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 5 - Cats v North Sun April 14th 1:00pm (GMHBA)

[The 747]

Love a score review, best part of the game.

Game needs more Goldy.

How can a team be this far into a rebuild and still not have any key defenders?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Bit of a debacle. Sheezel is terrific but does not have much interest in defending or pressuring Oppo small fwds. And they have murdered nmfc today.

Nice to see Ford and Drury get a few.

I watched the Hawks last night and they were flogged by a better team but thought they battle away. A number of nmfc players look ECO..

 

[Oxirane]

I believe so, yes.

So a ball hitting the flags would be considered to have hit the post, does that mean that ball has to clear the back of the flags before it is considered to have crossed the true imaginary goal line (i.e not what's painted on the ground)?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Dwayne is the undisputed king of stupid statements

Lol…. So true! Will remain with the title until Gaze gets a special comments gig.

Geelong fixture so far been a joke.

2 x 0-5 teams
1 x 1-4 team
2 X 2-3 teams

 

[Saint12]

They could have played their reserves, it's North, they're trash.

I get that but given the AFL is all about gambling you'd be pissed off if you had Hawkins for the Coleman etc

Well we did finish 12th last year.

 

[Caesarr]

Actually North usually play alright at the Cattery. They belted us down there in 2007, which fired us up and we went on a 15 year rampage.

Was that the game David Hale scored like 8 goals?

It needs to clear the line.

However, if it clears the line and hits the flag, it's a behind. I assume this is to avoid a situation where you are unable to determine whether it also hit the back of the post, while it did hit the flag.

I don't recall it coming up very often.

The umpires feeling sorry for North in the last quarter, so many BS frees

 

[kaiserchief13]

Well we did finish 12th last year.

North finished 17th

2 x 5-0
1 x 4-1
1 X 3-2
1 x 2-3

Ironic considering umpires got you blokes over the line

I had a look, apparently that was in 2008. Great individual performance though.

 

[Outtatym]

Simply too good cats. Maybe one day we will get within 10 goals down there...

2 x 0-5 teams

I agree it hasn't been an overly tough draw but at the start of the year, all of the Dogs, Saints and Crows were considered strong finals chances

 

[catstorm]

Geelong fixture so far been a joke.

2 x 0-5 teams
1 x 1-4 team
2 X 2-3 teams

And what do GWSs wins look like?

1x 0-5
1x 0-4
2x 2-3
1x 3-2

Even if we beat Brisbane in Brisbane next week you would give us no credit because they would be 2-4.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Geelong fixture so far been a joke.

2 x 0-5 teams
1 x 1-4 team

They play another 2-3 team next week as well.

Yeah we finished 12th last year, and we are one of the reasons why their records are what they are.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

North finished 17th

2 x 5-0
1 x 4-1
1 X 3-2
1 x 2-3

A team that might win 2-3 games all year aren't going to have an easy draw no matter how you do it.

 

[PhatBoy]

Geelong fixture so far been a joke.

2 x 0-5 teams
1 x 1-4 team
2 X 2-3 teams

Yeah they should have time travelled before they scheduled it.
FMD what should they have done?

They literally scheduled us against two teams that beat us in our previous two games, and another team on their home deck interstate who everyone assumed would be climbing into the top 8. How the f*** can you whinge about that?

 

[Strange Cat]

Geelong fixture so far been a joke.

2 x 0-5 teams
1 x 1-4 team
2 X 2-3 teams

5-0 >>> 4-0

Love the salt

 

[PhatBoy]

Hard to quantify it given the opposition but 6 goals, 3 goal assists and 21 touches is a fair day at the office

 

[Hamingja]

North finished 17th

2 x 5-0
1 x 4-1
1 X 3-2
1 x 2-3

Geelong fixture so far been a joke.

2 x 0-5 teams
1 x 1-4 team
2 X 2-3 teams

We have had a soft run but 20% of the sample size in both examples is because Geelong won / Geelong opponents lost and North lost / North's opponents won so it is a little self fulfilling at this early stage of the season.
