Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 2 - Saints v Pies Thurs March 21st 7:30pm AEDT (MCG)

[Red Bull]

The smug has been knocked out of Macrae, Roco tearing into him at the after game presser again.

Love watching conmen flounder.
The con was good while it lasted …

 

[Red Bull]

People, that is the most bizzare presser I have witnessed.

Can someone please interpret for me what McRae is on about saying it doesn’t matter if you put too much cheese on the lasagna??

He’s a conman.
And he knows the gig is up … he’s got nothing !!

 

[MagpieJo]

Magpies has no chance in hell tonight.

30 free kicks to 14 saints way. And Ross Lyon tactics on top of that too lol

not to mention the wayne harmes goal! wat a ******* joke

tell it like clarkson,' i wont comment on the atrocious umpiring!'

 

[Worm4]

Interesting to see the coaches votes. Fisher is a chance to get at least 5 from Fly

Scary thing is.... I have seen more lopsided umpired games.

Dogs vs Crows in 2016 at docklands. Umpire Troy pannell handed out 18 free kicks. 17 to the dogs, 1 to the crows.

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

He’s a conman.

A Carlton supporter bagging a premiership coach. I have heard it all. Enjoy the 25 year celebration of the premiership drought in 2024.

 

[Freomaniac]

He's had to go and quickly learn our players names.

To be fair....Saints dont play every game on Thursday or friday night. Saints dont get the Marquee or blockbuster games oftern.

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

Pies were good at times and ordinary for stretches. Says a lot about the saints that the pies would still have got over the line of not for the umpiring display.

Chin up mate,

You’ve still got Johnny Noble to rush back into the team

that's why I did my grocery shopping instead

It was unbelievable how good we were looked after...never in my time have I seen it so one sided

 

[LukeParkerno1]

They’ve at least played a half of good footy this year.

Reckon they will win comfortably next week.

Half? Generous try a quarter and a half at best

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Worse. Both teams will finish Bottom 4, bookmark it.

When is Ashcroft back cause dare I say it that midfield looks ultra skinny especially with Zorko being as cooked as Sidebottom in there .

 

[geelong_crazy26]

All I got from Craig McRaes press conference is there is too much cheese ontop of the collingwood lasagne

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Be close to the hardest game to narrow votes down you would assume NWM gets the 5 on both sides then it’s a tricky one, Marshall was very influential, Windhanger too. Josh Daicos probably the best of a losing bunch

 

[THE_GUN]

Looking like the pies have lost the hunger and it does happen
Pendles, sidebottom,Mitchell, Howe,Cox could all be in their last year and Mihocek , Degoey , Crisp have been drinking too much bath water.

 

[brutus76]

Wanganeen-Milera an absolute jet and silky skills. Well done Saints. Hope Wood recovers. That was pretty awkward to watch and I hope he is ok.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Pies window has been firmly shut ..... let the Macedonian Spud Party begin!!

Likely the worst team to win a Premiership in the last 50 years

 

[Lingsface]

Windhager is very impressive!, he has dangerfield like explosion and is very strong.

J Daicos is a star wingman thought he patrolled very well tonight even though he didnt get fed much.

That goal was amazing by Higgins one of the better ones ive seen.

 

[parano1a]

Strange comment from a Saints fan. At least we have won a premiership in the last 50 years...

 

[danster168]

A bit rich about pies fans complaining about the umps considering they got an armchair ride all the way through the finals right up until the last 10 seconds with the crazy 'advantage' call.

Daicos has got to play half back. He's too soft for the midfield. It sets a bad precedent for the rest of the team.

Eagles have been criticised for having too many old players when in fact they don't have half as many as the Pies.
Problem is we have too many injury prone pensioners or in Gaff's case past his used by date.
Can the Pies go back to back from 0-3.With so many players over or 30 will they fall of a cliff.
We did after 2018. Pies should be able to attract some talent but i think their premiership window is closed for the moment.

. Only umpire making the huge calls.

I'm curious as to how many free kicks he paid to each team today.

Ah yes, umpires helped us finish top of the ladder and not lose a final to get our 16th flag.

But also we can't complain about missed frees at crucial times? Seems logical.
