Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 16 - Swans v Cats Fri June 30th 7:50pm AEST (SCG)

[VinnieB]

Even if the kicking wasn't the best, it was still a great game to watch. Not sure why people complain when the result could go either way up until the final few seconds.

While frustrating at times, it was an entertaining game being such an arm wrestle.

 

[VinnieB]

Assume the call of Danger being ‘miserable’ was when the camera panned to him just after the final siren. Who’s going to be laughing after playing 4 quarters of football for a draw?

No. I was just looking at his face during his interview and thought about it. I wouldn't be trying to analyze it too much. No real science behind it.

17 free kicks Geelong
9 Sydney you take that every day of the week

The umpires are going to implode at the G next Thursday night. There's a chance we'll not see a single free kick for either team.

They’ll pay plenty of frees against but no frees for. Somehow!

 

[almuz]

Don’t mind 50 being ignored here.

I get that rules are rules but 50 meters in those situations are for defenders stymieing the flow of play - Danger was always going to take a shot so didn’t impact the play to mess with him here

Yep
Definitely better than Thursday night game

On this

Why isn’t anyone talking about the fact it wasn’t even a mark in the first place , bounced off the back of the pack .
Hence the Sydney players wanting to play on , the players made the right call .

 

[Bird Man]

was at the game and the umpiring is diabolical now the game is being brought it into disrepute

Your team is finished for the year.
Maybe time for you to also log out for the year?

 

[JeffreyCC]

Do the Swans practice kicking? Seems like an important facet of the game.

I'll take the 2 points. We played like s**t at an interstate home deck where we probably should have lost comfortably but still got something out of it and now in the 8.

It's only Friday night.. you'll be out the 8 by the end of the weekend. Most likely by tomorrow afternoon.

 

[SA HAWK]

Luckiest 2 points of all time for Geelong tonight.

Can’t remember worse kicking for goal than Sydney tonight.

Geelong 2008 GF.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Geelong 2008 GF.

Ah, the old cats bad at goal in 08 myth.
Either they were bad at goal, or there was 11 rushed behinds. Take out 11 rushed and they had a positive conversion rate, so which is it?

 

[HairyO]

cats had plenty gettable shots also, was a disgusting game

Given the weather was nice, Id rate it as the worst quality game Ive ever seen.

Yep, the AFL would have set the two 2023 matches between the Grand finalists and thought these will be fantastic, both were rubbish, both sides are a shell of their former selves.

Geelong are the interesting one. Still heavily reliant on older players.

Swans have a lot more youth and were probably let down by their senior players more than their junior.

Confusing a close game with a good game. Trash skills make for a bad game.
Did we keep count at the number of Blood's shots on goal that went out of bounds.

For sure

I can’t see how they (the cats)fast track some of these young guys either, I am generally a bit of a pessimistic football follower though, but I like many cats on here have childhood trauma from 89-95

I would have thought you would have watched a few Hawthorn games.

But was it entertaining or did you switch off and do something else?

I went to bed and watched the cricket because it was a s**t game.

[Chinacats]

Abysmal game… cats have chance to go to 5th at least for a day or two and they turn up in the first half and allow swans to waltz it up the field and take so many uncontested marks in the forward half. Terrible mindset …that should’ve been punished by wasteful swans… Scott turned it around at half time… and stopped the swans flow but couldn’t get it done! Blakey another half back that dominates Geelong… season long thing!
