Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 12 - Pies v Dogs Fri May 31st 7:40pm AEST (Marvel)

[Hoges64]

First half they were trialling that HTB rule constantly and seemed to pay free kicks to both sides there. I didn’t see anything really bad there.

That contest where they paid those 2 Bulldogs frees leading to goals were terrible though. Not because they were not there but mostly because there were frees to the other side not paid in that moment of play. Shouldn’t be happening this late in the match.

You are absolutely delusional.

 

[Some Idiot]

2 tackles and 24 pressure acts. He runs both ways

Only one of the three covered 15km+ thanks to defensive running, and it wasn't Daicos or the Bont. Tackling is but one measure.

 

[Hoges64]

That non call on Daicos was costly , instead of going two goals up, Collingwood get the next two. Possibly the worst umpiring call for the year. There are 3 umpires out there and not one of them deemed it a free. Outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is there are 4 umpires out there and not one of them deemed it a free.

 

[adogsfan5]

Treloar only runs one way.

With 2-3 mins to go he was the deepest man in the pies forward line. A high ball came in, Jones dropped the mark and he was at the back and received the footy. If that’s not gut running, I dunno what is.
He had multiple kicks in D50 tonight too.

What's yours for your dismal club?

 

[domus]

Libba, Ed Richards, Naughton and Weightman might have something to say about that.

Your structure was not altered in the slightest. You replaced a tall with a tall and a smalls with smalls. We were missing our three tall forwards and had to move a full back up front to have just one tall forward. Our forward line had no aerial targets most of the night so we couldn't bomb it in as your mob had the luxury of doing. Maynard on Lobb. Howe or Dean on Darcy? They were giving away ten or more centimetres!

Talls vs smalls. You had the advantage of foot speed as we were missing Richards, Weightman, Smith, Johannisen, Vandermeer but still couldn’t capitalise. The main reason we had to bomb it was we didn’t have our runners for the overlaps and rebounds, Bailey Dale was our only real outlet. Our talls capitalised in the air, your smalls didn’t on the ground

 

[revo333]

lol the dumb pies fans booing number 18 for the dogs thinking it’s Darcy.

The first few games they played together I couldn't tell them apart.

 

[BarryMorgan]

Objectively I’d say we have around 3 superstar players, 7 or so good players, and then the rest average. Not that there is anything wrong with being average, below average etc.

Bulldogs only have 1 in that superstar / good player range.

You are completely deluded.

 

[Juddernaut08]

pathetic pies with all these excuses. bulldogs missing plenty as well

parhetic club of whiners

 

[Romeoh1]

Your kidding. Mitchell is very good when fit. He was one of the reasons why we were premiers last year. He was perfect for our team, was close to best in the grand final and was very good through out the year. When he gets banged up he struggles as he did in patches but he is elite when fit.
Murphy is retired but it's an injury retirement so I'm counting him as an injury (why not) It would be nice to have him if he wasn't and he is still listed. Sure we can't play him but he would be clear best 23.
Richards looks good and I agree on McInnes.

Sure, but if a player is retired, he’s not counted in your ‘outs’.

Injury talk . It was only a matter of time.

 

[Frank Thring]

Answer me this question. Would you want North to go play a home game against Brisbane at the Gabba? If you are consistent, you will say yes. If not, then your comment is irrelevant.

We don't get 15 games at our home ground per year. So the answer is no.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Missing Libba, Richards and Naughton is pretty big, but Collingwood have a higher number out. I think this was a pretty good win because of the in game injuries, but the fact Collingwood were so close would cause some review at WO this weekend.

Not about how many out it's who is out. If it's a whole bunch of role players than they can be covered. The tipping point was Pendles and Mihochek. Both very important players to the system. Up till this weekend I wasn't buying the injury curse the media was highlighting. They played a role last night yes and could for the next couple of weeks.

Blues are an example of a team with alot of injuries but none to their absolute key players.

 

[Freomaniac]

every team (except Sydney) has lost the week after it has played Freo this year...

crazy stat

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Best 23 all who can impact imo:

Pendles
DeGoey
Mitchell
Mihocek
McStay
Elliott
Murphy
WHE
Cox


Plus useful fillers
Richards (been amazing)
McInnes (almost 2 goals a game)

First 4 and Elliott I agree. The others can be covered. LOL @ throwing in Richards and McInnes in there. I'll throw in Will Macabe for us if we're going to compare injured depth players.

 

[joe456]

Collingwood's recent final quarters:
0.1 v 5.1
2.3 v 5.1
1.2 v 3.3
1.2 v 2.2

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Injury talk . It was only a matter of time.

Apparently they’ve now become a club that’s proud of a 3 goal loss to the Dogs - a team with just as many injuries.

Next week V Dees their pride will hit new & dizzying heights

 

[Worm4]

Blues are an example of a team with alot of injuries but none to their absolute key players.

Considering our game plan is primarily based on scoring from half back, the injuries to Docherty and Saad had decimated us. I would call them absolute key players for us

 

[JackFlash]

The Dogs are still crap and i'm never tipping them again, they beat the Pies reserves team in the final QTR, they're almost as bad as my team.

 

[ThePhantom777]

More Blues supporters in this thread than Dogs and Pies supporters combined.

 

[FreoGirl]

crazy stat

JLo mentioned it a few weeks ago and suggested Freo are seen as a ‘must beat at all cost’ so are probably some kind of litmus test

 

[T2B_]

Sounds like the supporters of those respective teams need to lift their game then!

 

[Footy Smarts]

Imagine playing a team missing 5 of their best 10 players and rolling out the injury excuse when you lose.

Was amazing seeing the commentators discuss Collingwood's injuries for the 3000th time as the cameras showed Libba, Naughton, Richards and Weightman in the stands (no sign of Smith or Johannisen).

Also the Dogs being down 2 players early was glossed over pretty quick wasn't it.
