I must be drunker than I thought.

You are not the only one haha

Great win, but absolutely pathetic first half. Funny what happens when we pull our heads in and stop playing selfish, non-chasing football?

Great win and welcome back to finals footy. We may get a throw back to the 90s with a Roos V Ess blockbuster. Hopefully it's more marshmallow than the 2000 final. That 10 mins in the third was insane.

You said something positive about Essendon. Is this real life?

I love this guy

Goddard needs a spell, I don't think he won a single 1 on 1 contest.

He's gotta be carrying something surely.

 

[silk]

No he pushed with is elbows, not his hands. It's fine if you do that apparently.

A push is a push, but I see you point. I thought he used his hands. Mind you I'm never ever expect us to get free kicks paid anymore, so I was confused when it was paid, that's for sure.

Yeah.. looks like he is going at 50%.. didn't help that he got no help from the umpires OR our kicking.. not sure perm forward suited him tonight against an organised and tall WC defence.

Wouldn't mind if he takes a spell next week against the suns and gets himself right for a finals appearance.

Also want to point out, that credit to Hooker. Kennedy looked like he was about to bust the game open completely, and Hooker made sure it wouldn't last.

 

[carloss]

Can't wait to watch the replay*


*wont be bothering with 1st half

 

[rines]

Also I have been highly critical of some of the recent umpiring.. and tonight was again shocking.. but we actually (for once) got the good side of the coin I thought. Or maybe it was just fair.. but I am so used to being screwed over by the green maggots.. either way.. it was nice not to have a free kick count running 2-1.

This is my last game before I take a 2 month sabbatical in order to complete my thesis. As a result, it’s only fair that I give a template for the remaining Autopsy threads I will miss.

<PlayerA> was absolutely brilliant today, so glad we have him. Definitely would have been a worse performance without him.

<PlayerB> was also great. Not as amazing as <PlayerA> but still influential.

I think <PlayerC> had a bit of a down game. We know he can do better than that so hopefully it’s just a one off and he gets some consistency back.

On the game itself:
If result==comfortable win:
We played really well and hopefully we can keep that form up deep into September.
If result==gritty win:
Not a great performance, but it’s 4 points. Take them and move on.
If result==close loss:
Disappointing not to get the win, but the boys still played well. Unfortunately the other team were just the better side.
If result==bad loss:
Really poor effort today. Struggled to find many players who were giving it their all. Unfortunately this seems to happen a bit too often.

I loved that <time of the game where we played well>, and the goal that <PlayerD> kicked was just crazy.

If season!=over:
Here’s hoping we bring our best against <following week’s opponent>
Else
Hopefully we recruit well over the offseason and come back in 2015 ready to break into the top 4.

Finally, goodbye to all of you guys. Enjoy the next couple of months, and see you after I finish.

All the best!!

A push is a push, but I see you point. I thought he used his hands. Mind you I'm never ever expect us to get free kicks paid anymore, so I was confused when it was paid, that's for sure.

I was being a bit sarcastic. The whole hands vs elbows thing was brought in because of people like Prestigiacomo getting away with murder with pushes. In reality a hard push with the elbows is just as bad as a hard push with the hands in my opinion, but people seem to think that there is a clear difference. I thought it looked like a free.

Overall we got a good run tonight with the umps, and I've got to say it felt good. About bloody time.

oh man I HATE West Coast supporters.

They are okay I reckon, although it's incredibly ironic when they want to stick boots into us at the moment given their history.

 

[GandalfTheDon]

Also get a sausage up ya Eddie, ya fat *

 

[nylexbandit]

They are okay I reckon, although it's incredibly ironic when they want to stick boots into us at the moment given their history.

I think today it is doubly ironic as it's 1 - Youse are drug cheats! and 2 - Youse get a good run with the umpires.

The beers are mighty tasty tonight!

 

[BrunoV]

Its a good thing we were so good last year.
