Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 22 - Bombers v Suns Sat Aug 10th 7:30pm AEST (Marvel)

gotta admire Sarah Jones' professionalism with the ground interviews... she must be burning inside as a bombers fan

Nah man, as a Bombers fan she’s dead inside.

And has been for a long time.

at least our 1.9 last Q will take the spotlight off that aussie breakdancer.

After the goal went through to win the game a number of items were thrown at the Gold Coast players when they formed to celebrate the victory. Let’s just say the Essendon members should be ashamed of themselves and the AFL should investigate. Bunch of pricks!!

They should have to face serious consequences from that. Stop them from ever being able to see Essendon win a final for 20 years. There, punishment received.

In their dreams they'll get to ninth

Nothing surer in my mind

Surely the most severe punishment would be to make them have to continue to go to EFC games

Mac Andrew, you flipping Star! They were at him most of the night. Then he sticks it right up 'em.

Anyone got footage of classy bombers fans throwing water bottles and stuff at the SUNS. ?

Maybe they got their water bottle and scarf mixed up

How good does it feel! Stealing games is by far the best way to win. Giving the opposition a dozen chances to seal the game and letting them blow it for themselves then creating one solitary chance and robbing them blind is ecstasy. Inject it straight into my eyeballs!

Let us hope this is a result that can reignite the side and for once we can end the season positively with a decent run of performances. There is so much to work on though, the forward connection and finishing is slowly tearing my brain to shreds and the last quarter nerves feel like you’re watching the same 2 minute passage of play on a loop. But soak in the glory for now they can’t all be 40-point drubbings.

Does anyone have a gif of Gresham high fiving bombers fans 10 seconds after the free kick whistle was blown?

Mac Andrews was exactly 9 months old last time Essendon won a final

I’m getting flashbacks

How funny was King shoving his own teammate in the chest seconds before the match winning play

Pipe down King, you’re the 3rd tall now - it’s Mac time baby!!!!!!!!!! Bring on the twin towers of Mac and Jed (with a cameo from the oversized Gunston that can’t kick)

So good.

Even at our worst, Richmond never went 20 years without winning a final.

15 years tops....which is pretty bad for the time....

And then we won 3 flags. Essendon still have all their work in front of them. And they have just topped up for a tilt so will probably need to rebuild again.

They are like a super version of Richmond at our worst.

It's ****ing grim stuff.

No Essendon supporter has ever messaged a mate or a loved one on a 'smart phone' shortly after a finals win, celebrating the win.

Nor have they posted on twitter or what was known as 'Facebook' shortly after win.

The technology didn't exist at the time.

Let that sink in.

Yeah we have

We just pretended to support someone else

I may be talking out of my pocket here as (foolishly) I had him in my supercoach team, but Nik Cox's concussion seemed a bit odd. On replay didn't really look like he took a knock

That's pretty damning if true
Suggests a bloke completely devoid of confidence

It says a lot about modern commentary when "be neutral and don't let your bias be obvious" - which you'd think would be the most elementary starting point for a professional commentator - is seen as something to be singled out for admiration.

Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got … until you haven’t got it



You just know Hepp would have been guarding the hole in front of Mac Andrew in that final desperate play …
