Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 9 - Pies v Eagles Sun May 12th 1pm AEST (MCG) (Or Marvel if you actually want to watch the game)

[kranky al]

Can’t you win games interstate? You have had enough practice that it really shouldn’t be that much of a disadvantage.

With a bunch of kids who’ve not played interstate a lot we’ve had lots of practise?

No surprise here that out best players were the old heads….

And it’s Mother’s Day. It must be difficult for the kids.

What's going on? The media "experts" told us at 0-3 Collingwood couldn't possibly make the finals. Here they are in the top 8 and only 1 game away from 3rd spot. Just as well we have the media, or we'd never be able to keep up

I know West Coast have been struggling the past few years but this thread made me hope they struggle for a few more years.

The way some of them are acting in this thread. I reckon they think that will be the case.

 

[adammania9]

2018 called.

You want a time machine?

 

[adammania9]

Trips to Marvel dont count kid.

What? Collingwood has still travelled more than Carlton, champ

 

[TW Sherrin]

I agree and fat campaigner Ian Collins screwed us there!

He screwed you more than once.

 

[magpie_marty]

That Reid goes okay.
All class.

 

[domus]

So Yeo missing is your excuse?
What about:
DeGoey
Mitchell
Mihocek
Elliot
McCreery

And not to mention we played that quarter 2 players who are down for the game.

And Schultzy!!

 

[domus]

Also the young kids probably feeling it a fair bit after a handful of competitive games. Missing Yeo pretty much kills most of our scores sources from stoppages and Waterman has been close to the best key forward in the league so far this year.

Maggies never having to leave Melbourne must be very nice.

Five times every year and we have one of the best interstate records in the comp over the past 15 or so years. We should travel more often.

 

[domus]

Fox can't tell the difference between Tim Kelly and Ryan.

There are about 6 Sydney mid/flankers I mistake for someone else every week. It's probably because they look similar from a distance.

 

[domus]

Are we comparing players that are years apart in development now? Reid in a more experienced side is already 10x the player Daicos is. Raw numbers maybe not, but match winning ability, easily

But we can compare him to the Nick Daicos of three years ago. Nick was starring in a team that finished 17th the year before and leading them to victories. Fair comparison. Harley's a good kid. Be patient and he will reward you one day.

 

[Pie eyed]

Last 11 times these teams met:

Coll 4
WCE 7

And two of those Collingwood wins were by 1 point

On SM-A225F using BigFooty.com mobile app

That makes today's win, on average over the last 11, worth 33 wins.

You want a time machine?

No, just responding to your assertion that we are garbage and always will be .
Sort of implies that we have always been garbage yet defeated you in 2018.
Begs the question where that leaves Collingwood???

 

[Pie eyed]

Fox can't tell the difference between Tim Kelly and Ryan.

Literally just posted similar.
What was that?
Not even physically similar in any way barring he obvious indigenous background.

 

[Wosh]

nahnah I knew I should have gone to the G

It leaves them as the current reigning premiers.

 

[Apex36]

This thread is just… wow.

Imagine being belted all around the ground, losing by 10 goals and complaining like it’s the umpires fault you lost. Absolutely incredible.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

And Schultzy!!

Think they were outlining best 22 players

 

[adammania9]

And Schultzy!!

Suspended players shouldn’t count. It’s his fault he wasn’t out there
