Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 3 - Saints v Bombers Sat April 1st 7:25pm AEDT (MCG)

[Spook]

Was an incredibly frustrating player at North. Every 6 months, for 5 minutes or so he looked like the greatest player of all time but went completely missing for all the rest.

Out of everyone we delisted over 2020-2021 he was probably the stiffest, but i think he probably needed the new environment and the near-career-death experience to get his act together. Happy for him, was great to watch tonight

edit: oh, and also probably because Cam Zurhaar pushed him out of the third tall position, and at the time he was behind Larkey and Brown. It was silly to delist him when we were also trading Brown, but we had a lot of confidence in Charlie Comben to come on sooner rather than later. That's turned out to be later.

The thing is that he now plays wing high half forward rather than 3rd forward. He plays so much better facing the forward line rather than away from it.

 

[Harvey to Hayes]

Great, I want a fight, to vomit in my shoes and be beaten up by a girl i want to shag.

I know where to go!

Most of that sounds like it's about you not your location

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Saints
King
Steele
Membrey
Billings
Webster
Zac Jones

thats 6

Ess
2 meter Peter
And maybe Weideman who wasnt in Melbourbes best 2
Cox possibly

So who else? Cox, Stewart, Reid we’re not consistent starters in 2022.

Guelfi
Hobbs

 

[lethalsaints]

Why didn't North Melbourne want Mason Wood?

Doesn't do heroin

 

[lethalsaints]

Not sure if carlton or st kilda

Brad Scott made the rule eat it

 

[lethalsaints]

Picking an unfit Stringer shows the club hasn’t learnt or turned the corner just yet.

I was laughing knowing he was playing lazy fat campaigner

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Stocker is a bog average footballer

Keep stroking ..... was brilliant in the last quarter

 

[Plugger35]

I can smell the fear.

The Saints are on the march.

Ross Lyon has us marching to the drum.

 

[hirdylloydy1]

Guelfi
Hobbs

You forgot zerk

Cox and Reid have been injured for so long now I had forgotten about them. Our 4 would be 2 metre, zerk,guelfi, tippa add Hobbs who I had forgotten as well.

Don't know if Jones is in their best 22

of the injured players atm, the only sure thing best 22 players would be Steele, King, Membrey, and McKenzie. Then add Webster and Wood from this week. Jones and Billings need to earn selection through VFL, Hayes probably comes back through the VFL for game time. idk what to expect for Coffield.

 

[austinnn]

Your club won’t and never will sadly

Can't argue with that reasoning

 

[Strange Cat]

Can't argue with that reasoning

150 years of data to back that statement up

 

[Plugger35]

Brad Scott is just another muppet that has been outcoached by Ross the Boss.

Add him to the list.

Longmuir
Beveridge
Brad Scott

Stewie Dew your next

Poor ol' salty Redman looking the picture of disgust after pulling Caminiti out of the contest without the ball then petulantly bouncing the ball off him to give the young fella his 3rd AFL goal.

Redman acted like he was the best player on the field; in reality, he wasn't even the best Mason on the field.

 

[austinnn]

Ha good one. I'm happy with our win, optimistic for our future. Definitely won't be as fruitless as the last 150 years, the limited opinions of oppo supporters won't affect it, so why would I worry?

 

[Red Bull]

Nope signed a 1 year deal.

The veteran Bomber had weighed interest from Gold Coast late in the year before being presented with a one-year offer late in Essendon’s season.

Still a Bomber: Top Don rejects Suns interest to sign on

Essendon captain Dyson Heppell has signed on for 2023

www.google.com

Fantastic for the dons that Hepp will be on the payroll for at least 2 more years after this season.
Leaders like Hepp are hard to find

Then after that it Pies and Blues before some lower ranked teams. Are think Saints can set up their season by round 10, and then start getting some outs back.

Question for all teams on fire now is sustainability in H2, it's a gruelling season.

 

[Osho]

Classy response.
Go Saints!

 

[Dee Train]

Great win Saints. Essendon jumper utterly hideous and unnecessary. Weid still a spud. Glad we got rid of him otherwise he’d be playing today, dropping chest marks and doing * all.

Did they ever try him on the wing?

Hobbs is playing VFL isn't he?

 

[Juddernaut08]

Carlton looked like world beaters this time last year. If saints play finals I’ll be surprised.

our season looked great and went to s**t due to injuries losing walsh, jewett etc

saints are already devastated by injuries and are still 3-0 and dominant

we have the better list slightly, but I will readily admit ross is a boss and better than voss

saints are the real deal, especially once their guns are back

dont think theyll win the flag but finals are likely

in melb theyre essentially a bye

 

[Red Bull]

What's happened to Laverde he's fallen off a cliff

He’s got a 3 year contract extension so he’ll be right mate
