Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 3 - Port v Demons Sat March 30th 7:30pm AEDT (AO)

[demondavey]

15.6 tonight.

Different team up forward.

 

[YeoShuey]

Well they normally finish top 4 and lose 2.

Can’t see that happening again.

I think they will either win first week this time or just not make the 4 at all. Although I can’t see many teams more worthy of a top 4 spot.

 

[MF]

Great game

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Port have managed to embarrass themselves on the field as well as off the field tonight

 

[danster168]

That's what you get Rozzee for flopping like a silly salmon. Well done Dees. Won in adversity against those darn umps!

 

[RAPPA]

Good to see the technology is serving its purpose of curing blatant human error

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Port had 3 more scoring shots and 20 more inside 50's and lost, a Ken Hinkley special.

What do you expect. Literally all he does is sit on the bench and clap free kicks.

 

[FootyLad0]

Huge win for Melbourne on the road against a likely finalist without May.

But tonight also shows why Port will still fall short of the flag again. A gun midfield but not much else, and I feel they haven't addressed their defensive deficiencies well enough.

What do you mean. I was told Butterfingers Ratugolea and BZT are key pickups? Lol

 

[philthy05]

Port smashed Dee’s in clearances / possessions / inside 50’s


Dee’s had hitouts and umpires.


Ports fault for not being good enough to not let umpires influence the result.

 

[Benj7]

Port fans ewwwww brotherr ewwww

 

[giggler99]

That was the best game of the season so far (that I've watched) well done Dees fans enjoy that well deserved!

 

[Lsta062]

This looks like a decent showing from Port Adelaide (it is decent from a quality perspective), but it’s actually not since these are the exact type of games that they lose in finals. Lucky that this is only Round 3, but the question marks remain

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Melbourne are gonna celebrate hard tonight.

 

[Chism]

Nice road win Demons.

 

[Black Saab]

I was bang on, 100% correct even with margin it seems.

Haha! I laughed when the goal went through to bring the margin to 7. Nice one.

I really thought Port would run over the top there. Had the momentum and looked better.

 

[ExistToWin]

Master class performance from the umpires tonight

 

[hawkman]

I would have to see when they blew the whistle before or after burton kicked it, but boak had been on the ground for ages at that point, before the ball worked up to the wing, why wait until 0.2 secs after burton kicks it and not in the passage of play we had possession?

It should have been stopped much earlier. But they are probably not looking at where the injured player is until the ball is going into that area

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Was a ripping game until the umps swung momentum.
Thought it was umpired really well until the Gawn free at the end of the 3rd. Umpiring was actually horrid from that point. Very odd swing.

Edit: sorry, forgot about the 1st quarter. That was horrendous also. So 2nd and 3rd quarters were umpired well.

 

[Fitzey]

What’s the media going to bring up this week to try derail the dees train? Goodys reactions say it all, I’m so happy for him.

 

[hawkman]

Wonder how Melbourne will celebrate the win tonight

 

[Chism]

Gather free win for SA round up next.

Get around us Vic bias!

 

[demondavey]

Can’t see that happening again.

I think they will either win first week this time or just not make the 4 at all. Although I can’t see many teams more worthy of a top 4 spot.

Long season. Looking good though. May will be back. Oliver will get fitter.

Collingwood will be back into the swing of it.

Long year. Need heaps to go right.

 

[RandB]

We've been fleeced by the umpires the last 3 times we've played this mob at AO.

Hinkley complains ro the umpires at half time. EAD you pathetic bitch.

 

[Chuckie357]

Are port supporters really going to blame the umps stopping the game for them losing? If you didn’t the ridiculous call for rozee’s flop you’d be done by 13 points! If you can’t capitalize on the inside 50s and the scoring shots which were significantly more than the opposition then you don’t deserve to win

You mean Port had Hinkley, the ultimate difference. Umpires threw Port a bone in that last quarter with that Rozee reversal goal.
