Autopsy Swans v Blues - AFL Rd 10, 2024 - Friday May 17th 7:40pm - (S.C.G.)

Umpires reward another duck

to those unaware, the ground is bigger now as they extended it when they did the most recent grandstands. The 50m arcs are 50m. You can use the measure tool in google maps.
It always looks small on tv as cameras are so low. Like how a cricket pitch looks short from behind the bowler.

The behind the goals camera angle show it like a normal camera height.

banished back to defensive 50 with you!

I hate Barry and his electric car

Huge amount of umpiring whinging as expected. Very different story to last night.

2 poor decisions (1 a non recall of a bounce) and they act like it's the world's biggest conspiracy

 

[MF]

It is the fact at the other end it is play on.

No arguments with that one. Should have been paid

 

[Randomizor]

The usual story. Carlton forwards do their thing and then get let down by their average undisciplined defence

 

[Blues_Man]

Owies gets the cheapy over the top then gives 30m of front row seats a gob full. Biggest flog in the AFL.

Has Maynard retired

And then every single Sydney free kick thereafter is part of the scam. No "we need to respond, Sydney are lifting here", just the good ol' "Well done umpires, you got what you want!".

Sigh.

Must not be many happy Eagles related memories. We haven't won there since 1999.

I only attended Eagles matches there between 2000-16 so many games where we were in it but wilted by 3QT. did watch that '99 game on tv though, was the week before Plugger broke the record, he had two opportunities late in the Eagles match that went begging.

I did see that 2007 win at Stadium Australia, where we had the 34pt lead at half time I think and held on in vintage rivalry fashion. The 'evil eagles' vindication game.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Swans sending it long and direct every opportunity. Hope our backline wakes up. An inside 50 is basically a score tonight.

 

[smeggaz]

Insane momentum shifts. To think Sydney could have ended in front if they kicked straight.

Warner is judd-like.

I cant believe they renovated the wrong house on that new show. And they are advertising the fact!
She clearly says it is not their house!

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Swans will win from here

Entertaining first quarter. Good to see a free flowing game so far

That's exactly it. No problem with them feeling hard done by with the missed over the shoulder but don't act like every legit free we get is a scam because of that

 

[Mr Meow]

Cripps is a gun but some of his disposals/decision making is seriously bad. He makes Dangerfield look like Ablett Junior. And tries dinky kicks that don't actually work.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Cripps been quiet against the Bloods.

 

[NavySteel]

I love panic hack kicks

It's not bad but St Kilda v Freo tomorrow will be even better.

 

[Roobs321]

this feels like a game-defining set shot. Kick and bye bye. Miss and Blues will hang around.

Yeah a bit annoying uow long that hoodoo has lasted. By far our longest at any ground.

 

[Mr Meow]

Carlton kept trying to turn the ball over but Sydney infringed twice, once for a free and then again for a 50.

 

[Kram]

That 50 was at least 80.

70 meter penalty
