Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 1 - Hawks v Bombers Fri March 14th 7:40pm AEDT (MCG)

[Jim Prideaux]

I don’t like this scheduling where 1 team is playing their first match against a team with one already under the belt. I didn’t think the AFL could make the fixturing more compromised but they have managed to do it.

Did you miss the cyclone?

 

[SSSSSS]

How would it have been fine?

Bombers were playing Gold Coast in round zero.

Both teams would have played 1 game already.

Enjoy him whilst he lasts mate. His back is cooked and he’ll be lucky to see out half of that contract

You're having a fair sook at the moment

 

[mike ross]

Hawks too good. Always able to respond to the challenge. On to next week.

 

[Ren]

Because I thought they’d lose by 10 goals and they didn’t

Our midfield is too offensive we can get the ball inside 50 plenty but the forwardline is putrid and when the ball slingshots out we dont set up properly at all to lock it in

Freo would have been playing Geelong in there second match. It’s bullshit scheduling.

Blame the cyclone Essendon were supposed to have played Gold Coast already

If you guys can clean up your inside 50 you’ll be something. Kind of glad we got you now.

But to your original point, did you miss the cyclone?

 

[Polly]

No mate, it’s all we’ve heard about for the last 3 weeks.

 

[Westlo]

was stupid to have gresham as a sub, can't have just 1 small forward in this day and age.

No evidence of looking hampered from what I could see. West Coast will not have won another final by the time he retires, which will be in many years time.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

No mate, it’s all we’ve heard about for the last 3 weeks.

So you heard about it, that’s good, and with regard to the AFL schedule, what did it cause?

 

[Vindicater]

Expected a smacking and got it early on.

Still confused about Gresham as a sub. As soon as he came on for a tall we got on a roll and looked better balanced.

Ridley out with a concussion hurts.

I genuinely wouldn't be discouraged if I was an Essendon supporter. Felt like a bit of a role reversal from round 1 last season, and the loser that day went on to make a semi final.

Caddy and Kako are right at the beginning of their footy journey. Heaps of upside there.
Caldwell is a ripper as well.
I also loved Harry Jones on a wing, which I wasn't anticipating.

Personally, I finished my day watching Dylan Moore highlights while Parkway Drive played the Fox Footy theme in the background. Had an absolute all-timer.
Feels good to be 2-0!

I didn’t realise Essendon was the second match cancelled. As it stands Port, West Coast and Freo would have been facing this situation if there was no cyclone.

There are signs. This offseason (finally minus Dodo) saw us make shrewd moves, not to win trade period but to actually balance the list.

Hopefully another offseason like that and another pre season into Caddy, Kako, Roberts and Tsatas and we will see some reward.

So what you’re saying is, that you went off with no information or idea. I would suggest, read at least 2 different newspapers possibly 3 if you have time going forward.

Calm down girlfriend Essendon are playing their first match, Hawks their second and 3 teams this round are would have been dudded due to the Opening Round fixturing. You triggered?

Nah, I’m pretty happy. But for you, read a little, it will help.

Have a sook mate

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Have sook mate

Oh dear, Mon petit Polly. I’m not the one sooking about a mismatch that was caused by a tropical cyclone. Chin up, you guys might make finals this year.

 

[Tugga27]

Just love a bloke wearing black boots built like a literal fridge.

How can you hate this man.

How can anyone hate Tommy?

Him and Gov doing the Harry Highpants after beating the Dockers.
