Autopsy What have you liked, learnt or hated from Round 7?

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Liked: GWS and Bulldogs doing well. They're fantastic to watch as well. I can't help but love them. Brions too, doing some good things. I hope Aish stays. McStay too, he's something special.
Hated: Can't think of anything. Nope. Nothing at all. Nup.
Learned: A lot can change in a short time. After we were 50-0 (roughly) against Hawthorn, we were looking pretty ******* good. Since then we've been awful.
West Coast are looking pretty good too. I'm convinced. Top 4 contenders.

 

[poshman]

Liked: GWS and Bris
Learnt: Fyfe is the best player we have had. GWS with their draw will be a finals team.
Hated: Commentators barracking for teams, they need to watch some high level over seas broadcasting, often very painful.. also have not missed listening to sandy roberts. Any game Fischer umpires that involves freo.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Liked: North winning
Liked: Essendon losing
Learnt: North won

The " argument" is unworthy of rebuttal. It's a ridiculous unsubstantiated rant and nothing more.

The "argument" is totally supported by the facts. Your non-attempt at rebuttal is supported only by your hugely overinflated opinion of yourself.

Brodie was an AA player last year.

So? He's not in the class of Riewoldt nor was his injury as serious.

 

[Agenfrida]

I notice that in the official player ratings, Brodie Smith is ranked 23rd and would be very close to AA selection. Riewoldt is ranked 146th. Maybe that's enough to be a superstar in St Kilda

I hope you're trolling, for your sake

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Liked: The Friday night game was watchable
Learned: Basing a teams form off who they have won or lost against is futile
Hated: Too much whistle. I don't buy into the "bias" stuff but still hate how much the refs have been blowing.

Liked:
Petrie swinging down back in the fourth...dude can clunk it.
Eagles player management - very smart giving JK the vest and resisting the temptation to panic and play a banged up McLovin.
Pies & Tigers - entertaining see-sawing match for the neutral observer.

Disliked:
GC Suns thirdy quater, almost felt sorry for them once we got into double figures
Brendon Goddard - what a whiney little turd he can be

Hated:
Watching Roo hit the turf like a tonne of bricks, really have to wonder how many more knocks he can take.

So? He's not in the class of Riewoldt nor was his injury as serious.

Right now (current rankings) Brodie is worth two of Riewoldt, if not more. The inane commentary went on and on about how Saints were two players down yet failed to mention that the Crows also had two players down. The most serious injury of the day, by a country mile, was Jaensch's knee ... and Jaensch was tearing it up at the time and was probably BOG up until the point where he was injured. The Crows weakest point this year is their defence, making Jaensch doubly important to the outcome of the game. Yet we heard nothing except endlessly repeated mentions that Riewoldt was out of the game.

Who the * is Brodie Smith?

Current All-Australian back flanker. Playing this year on the wing for Adelaide. In the overall player rankings he normally ranks somewhere in the mid-twenties (although he is down a little right now due to getting injured twice recently), which would make him a walk-up selection in the first 22 at any club in the comp. In those same player rankings just one (1) Freo player (Fyfe is a very good player) ranks higher than Brodie Smith, although Brodie is only ranked fourth amongst Adelaide players.

Because Riewoldt has been out injured/bereaved not because Brodie is any good.

Because Riewoldt has been out injured/bereaved not because Brodie is any good.

When Brodie Smith missed most of the game this week concussed because Riewoldt head-butted him, that was the second time in a few weeks that Brodie has missed most of the game because of an early concussion. Somehow in your estimation these don't count, I suppose?

Should only be a fine, but then again the MRP has no clue. How much money we talking about anyway?

A lot! Put it on before the season at $6 so decent odds.

He was paying $6?! Damn, I should of made a bet

 

[Roo Beauty]

Liked: Brisbane, GWS, Luke Parker's game.

Hated: Waite's hit, Fyfe's trip – both silly and unnecessary. Also Melbourne's effort against Hawthorn. Weak.

Learnt: GWS can make Top 4, Port are in real trouble.

Ablett was still favourite and rightfully so. Ablett was $5 I think, Fyfe was $6. Took Fyfe as Ablett was too short and with the new MRP rules it suits Fyfe.

Don't think you have too much to worry about. There will be a riot across the footy community if Fyfe is suspended for that.

If they keep this kind of form up, they're easily in contention. Thanks for your detailed reply too...

Thankfully just a fine. Was pretty 'dumb' by Fyfe though. That said we don't need blokes getting weeks for that though regardless of who that is

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Liked: Getting Past the Dogs.
The improvement in the dogs.
That GWS are no fluke.
Kick to kick at Etihad! Geez that was fun!

Disliked: ANZ stadium surface. Goat track.
Mick Malthouse copping it when players won't crack in. You don't have to be brilliant to try.

Hated: Nothing.

Can we please make a bet on this? Something like $50 that GWS wont make the top 4? Pretty please?
