Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 7 - Bombers v Pies Thurs April 25th 3:20pm AEST (MCG)

Lmao. Clearly a few in here that can’t string a sentence in a public.

Jealous much

String a da sentence in a public

Frustrating to not win when you belt them through the middle 43-3 points scored from clearances (with about 5-10min left).

Too many nervous nellies in our backline when the ball was loose: Redman, Laverde, Kelly, Hind. Part of that is Collingwood's pressure but there are a few repeat offenders.

Depends how you look at it. What’re the odds on someone like miochek shanking two simple kicks out in a row

 

[twiggy4PM]

Whats with the triffod in the lapel of the commentators? You are supposed to wear a sprig of rosemary not half a bush.

Or are we having a "my sprig is bigger then your sprig" competition?

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Disposal efficiency 68%, five turnovers, 70% of disposals are cheapies in the back half.

Merrett was ok, but it is a joke he won the medal over far more deserving players.

I don't think I'd have given it to him but I think he was deserving enough. There wasn't really a standout to me, a lot of good players on the day but no one ahead of the pack.

If Langford had have kicked the last I'm 100% certain he would have got the medal. I would've been tempted to vote for him even after the miss, thought he was excellent (apart from one kick).

 

[Worm4]

Pendles might have DIED if we had extra time

On SM-A225F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Was thinking that. They way he got caught HTB in the last minute or so.....

 

[xusnotlrac]

Essendon should have won that. The better team the whole match.

i dont think so , fxxk you carlton supporters really must hate the pies

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

If neither side is good enough to win during the allotted time in the game then 2 points each is the fairest way

 

[brutus76]

Cracker of a game
Fair result
Mihocek's wayard boot and 6.11 in the first half cost the Pies
Langford and Stringers relatively easy misses and giveaway goals coming from D50 cost the Bombers
Two rucks don't work and Draper needs to be dropped - was useless

 

[NeutralFan]

Why?

If no team is good enough to have won the contest at full time - then the result is a draw. Get so fed up of the nashing about extra time.

Just feels such an empty result, plus the added drama of a match going the extra 10 minutes.

 

[MrBarry]

Just feels such an empty result, plus the added drama of a match going the extra 10 minutes.

But both teams came away with 2 points. We don't need to totally Americanise the sport.

Finals and Grand Finals I have no issues with extra time - as a definitive result is required.

 

[Rod Stroker]

It's a regular game, not a final. If you can't get it done in four quarters, a draw is a fitting result. Neither side was able to beat the other, and you don't need to get a result from a H&A game.

Clearly the players don't agree with you.

We just heard from the bloke who has disposed the ball more than anyone in the history of the game, say that extra time should be played. But what would he know. The keyboard warriors and armchair experts know better.

 

[Tristan34]

i dont think so , fxxk you carlton supporters really must hate the pies

He is right though.. Essendon just lacked composure and couldn't close it out..

Yeah, I've only been watching the game for 35 years and pay the players wages - but what would I know right?

He also comes from an American/Basketball way of thinking which you appear to as well.

 

[Plugger35]

Seems too switched on for that

Maybe he could rise to the heights of being a Ch7 commentator, not sure he will be able to push out that great orator Jobe Watson

They set a very high bar for commentators at Ch7.

 

[Vice]

String a da sentence in a public

Big daddy inspecta doing patois at the cookout.

 

[cactuscall]

Darcy Moore is an impressive speaker and he can bang on, he has a future career as a politician.

Probably just needs to not grab at his dick in front of the masses.

 

[Andronicus]

i dont think so ,

Well you think wrong.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Its his basketball background

 

[mrmonkey]

Yeah draws aren't a problem they are quite rare. Split the points and move on, obviously finals is a different situation but even then it rare. I can only think of 3 since extra time was introduced. North vs hawthorn 94, Collingwood vs West coast 07 and Port vs West coast 2017. So three in 30 years.

 

[NeutralFan]

'Americanise' I like to think of as 'borrow good aspects of other sports' (Doesn't always have to be American sports either)

 

[2big sound]

Meh. Merrett ran around and had not much impact but a lot of worthless disposals.
Langford, Martin, Daicos all better.

Merritt had equal most disposals and equal most tackles and was 4th in meters gained.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Its his basketball background

He has a basketball background?

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Thought nic martin was BOG

Definitely in the conversation. His last quarter was immense. I still like him further up the ground, think he was the most influential in the short period he moved to half forward

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I don't really have an opinion either way, but it was pretty clear that he said that as a half joke (complete with laugh at the end), not a statement on where he thinks the game should be changed.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

man heck wish Langford slotted that.

but you'd take the 2 points.
