Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 8 - Eagles v Bombers Sat May 4th 8:10pm AEST/ 6:10pm WST (OS)

[BACCS]

Percentage is irrelevant

It really isn't, that will catch up with any team eventually. No team is making it with a percentage less than 100.

 

[Plugger35]

I beg to differ.

Yeah I'm sure Freo supporters would be happy with that result too.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

The “shush” celebration is such a flog thing to do.

I like it

I don't ready like essendon but come on, nothing wrong with Langford giving it back to the crowd.

Is entertainment after all. Lighten up.

Yeah you’re not getting in with a percent of 95

You get in by winning games though...

 

[TheUnicorn]

Cripps decision cost them

Bombers won't stay in the 8 for long , getting lucky so far

People said the same thing about Collingwood all last year.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

There’s confidence and arrogance

You’d think a club who has failed for more than 20 years would understand the difference and act accordingly

So we should not show any emotion because we haven't won much? I don't understand.

 

[Forward Press]

Disappointing but hopefully this game has finally closed the book on our completely uncompetitive era.

Heavy underdogs off a six day break but almost managed to steal it. The effort was there.

Hope Yeo comes back relatively quickly.

 

[Lia]

Essendon really should have won by more. Sam Durham is a difference maker, he is a mean dude out there and super impressive. Guelfi can **** off.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

BOOOO

The neutrals wanted a draw and West Coast supporters wanted a win.

Only Essendon supporters would be happy with that result.

nah freo got out backs.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Do the umpires still think Brad Scott is their boss?

Between the Adelaide decision and that ridiculous reversal from a dive one would have to question that.

i guess he should sack em, if their job was to help us. They didn't do it well.

You are playing much better then the first few weeks, bloody happy to get the win. Dont have many over there.

What difference does he make?

AFL clubs hate this one weird trick!

 

[jannissary]

well played both ways.

shame to see yeo go down but it was a nice touch to do a guard of honour for him. he's had a stellar career (when uninjured)

It really is when you've had a draw.

If we make the 8 it means we have likely won the majority of our games which means our percentage has a more than good chance of going up 5%

They did an awesome job for you. Can't tackle the dons and get HTB. Near on impossible.

Hobbs has been playing for 20 years?

 

[Dave]

Edged out a win again

I see what you did there….

 

[Farang83150]

WC coming along nicely, obviously wanted to win but given the last 2 yrs am very happy with how we're tracking now.
Might just prove a few media DHs wrong.

Pretty much this. Results don't really matter to me over the next year or two, as long as we ain't getting pumped by 70 points a game like we were last year then I'm fine...I hope Yeo's ok though..

You realise Essendon have had a draw right? Percentage means almost nothing now. It's almost a blessing for Essendon.

By your logic I only want to see Luke Breust or Jack Gunston enjoying themselves out there because the rest of your list has never won anything

 

[Dave]

45 tackles to 67
18 free kicks to 13

yeah, that’s what cost you.

 

[MKMatty]

Margetts & Williamson for all games they play in.

I'm not sure why anyone would want a guy that's been retired since 2021 to umpire their games but you do you.
