Autopsy AFL 2022 Second Semi Final - Demons v Lions Fri Sept 9th 7:50pm EST (MCG)

[revo333]

Just got home from the Royal Richmond post game. Wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be, not sure why. Quite a few Lions boys celebrating the win. Grabbed a couple double quarter pounders no pickles and a large fries, fair chance regret it in about 4.5 hours when the kids get up and I’m on the couch. Anyway onwards and upwards, bring on the cats next Fri night, backing up Sat at the Eastern footy league Prem league GF.

Places have been quiet since Covid.

You'd expect that next week that Daniher and Big O come back in for Fullarton and Fort with Lyons possibly coming back in also.

I don’t think Lyons comes back in. He’s been terrible all season and has no defensive run. Dev at least provides that, if Berry is thrown in the guts going forward instead of on the wing, Dev can play there where as Lyons can’t.

 

[RUNVS]

Just woke up, did not see any of the game, so the result was, well unexpected.

 

[p4p1]

Berry has been hampered massively by injury in the last few years and has lacked any continuity. Some were concerned about his early season form but all he needed was some continuity and games under his belt. Has become a great player in the back end of the year.

If his body is up to it he should be in the middle most weeks. Happy to have him on the wing to give his body a rest from the bash and crash but he adds size and defensive run that we don’t normally have. I believe the same thing about Robertson as well.

Did anyone else notice Levers brain fade in the last qtr?

Some hilariously s**t takes in here

 

[Rod Stroker]

Jesus, how s**t are Melbourne

 

[Erakor]

Not trying to take anything away from Brisbane at all, Melbourne needed to score 2 goals in 1.20 minutes anyway….

But people keep saying you can’t just drop the ball when tackled, I have seen every week players from every game just drop the ball and it is not paid HTB.

The inconsistency on dropping the ball and also the ‘didn’t get it out’ is simply random at this point.

 

[Fitzey]

I hope you’re done

Never been so embarrassed to follow a football team. I guess when the AFL picks their team for a year they stick with it.

Thoughts on a straight sets exit?

Thoughts on a straight sets exit?

never understood the straight sets philosophy. the first game is always against a top 4 team. no shame in a loss there.

the loss to Brisbane was bad, simply because Bris are one of the weaker teams in the 8 (imo) but when you miss set shots this is what happens. We continually let the door ajar and the game was done when Ah Chee kicked a goal on the half time siren. Gave them all the momentum that they should never have had.

But we won the flag last year. Better effort than 17 other teams can say after this season finishes.

Straight sets means you lose 2 finals in a row and are eliminated just to clarify.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

Frustrating that we continued to lose the same way, all the way to the bitter end. We look banged up and haven’t been able to run out games. If we don’t ice it in the first half, we are in trouble. As soon as Brisbane lifted their intensity there were danger signs left, right and centre.

Need to get that edge back from a fitness POV, fix our forward line (can’t take much more Ben Brown

Where's all the Richmond fans from last week saying we'd get destroyed tonight?

I’m here . Well done fantastic job!

I think he is still stunned.

But to answer the question, it's embarrassing to be gone in SS and a wasted season.

 

[RichLeMonde]

No rule about dropping a ball? Lol

Instead of lol’ing, maybe go and actually read the rules - they are freely available online

 

[RichLeMonde]

Tigers only a dynasty if that #premiership included and even then its questionable...

You mean the flag where we played every game away from home, including flying from Queensland to Adelaide at 5am the morning of a prelim? You’re right, that one* was worth 1.5 normal flags

 

[RichLeMonde]

But McStay had hands on him, free kick every day of the week

On CPH2005 using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yeah he may well have. I haven’t seen a slowed down replay. At first glance I thought Mackstay might have released his grip, especially given lever’s reaction

They’re pretty embarrassed to have you as a fan, to be fair

"The game was done" when you were 22 points up and the opposition had kicked a massive run on of ONE goal?

No wonder Melbourne lost if this is the attitude....

The flag off the back of a reduced h and a season with reduced game time. Yeah that one.

 

[99cents]

And yet you couldn’t put us away until the last 2 minutes- and most neutrals thought Coll should have won, we’re it no for some questionable umpiring.
When the neutral are backing the Pies that really speaks volumes.

Always hear about umpiring when coll lose a close one

 

[Iamspock]

Like last year, yeah?

 

[demondavey]

An all round disaster, really. No easy way to dance around the form lapses and obvious issues we have. Great impetus for change for Goodwin, he will be seriously tested.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Geez Richmond would be absolutely spewing, would have easily accounted for Melbourne last night IMHO....
