Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 9 - Blues v Demons Thurs May 9th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

Well they shouldn't be marks either then.. Rather than taking the notion that non marks should be paid because others have.

No different during lockdowns when people were complaining that certain people had more freedoms, and wanting them locked down too instead of using it as an example to fight for their own freedom.

Go live in your little fantasy world where conspiracy theories run rife. Maybe run off to the US where you can be among your own people... the qanon muppets.

Melbourne will beat Carlton here.
Carlton incredibly overrated.

The pressure Melbourne's smalls will apply to Carlton's mediocre back six will cause so many unforced errors resulting in shots on goal.
I also expect Petracca and Oliver to have better matches.

Melbourne by 13 points and Carlton fans to turn on their club again

Close but no cigar

The only American thing here is you trying to justify that as a mark

Boring already... go soak yourself to try and get rid of some of the salt.

"without ever controlling it", good one

this is a pisstake, surely?

you think a still image of McGovern touching the ball means he controlled it?
Are you high?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

We've all seen marks get paid with less control of the ball than that. It happens every week.

Even if this was true it wouldn't mean he should be paid the mark.

it didn't the usual definition or standard of what is considered a mark. bad decisions in previous games doesn't justify continuing to make bad decisions in future games.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Disappointed with the loss but it was a good effort considering we have the worst list ever assembled. Strange that the AFL gave us four points for it.

 

[demondavey]

Wow. Good for Melbourne to get back into it. Bad start.

Next week!

Both hands holding the ball, clearly before his opponent touches it. Its kinda the literal definition of controlling it.

Now, did he control it for long enough? Dunno, seen those paid and I've seen them not paid. What isn't in question is that your "without ever controlling it" claim is false.

That went well for you

 

[PizzaPie]

I can't tell if this is satire or not, well played

If you could tell you would know

I know wasn’t to me, but are you holding?

 

[Bagger72]

If Melbourne had curnow or any other actual foward, the comp would weep

Nah their midfield got beaten up - Trac had to go forward as Kennedy took him to the cleaners in the middle.

You bash their midfield and you have a good chance at winning. Trac's forward performance was out of the box.

Well ironically they did apply pressure, however given one Carlton’s players put on an act they got away with it.
