Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 1 - Cats v Freo Sat March 15th 1:20pm AEDT (GMHBA)

[geelong_crazy26]

Sorry bigfooty. I know your all gutted right now, but chin up

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

25k the crowd

 

[Black Saab]

Umpires.
Time zone.
Boundaries too narrow.
Empty crowd.
Not as hot as expected.

Poor Freo. Everything against the brave Dockers today.

You forgot to mention Cotton On.

 

[The 747]

Not Jack, Jack's great.

Ollie's a weird player. Spends most of the time being trash but he has the knack of regularly kicking goals.

 

[voorhees]

Lalor still deserves the rising star nom this week imo.

Amen to that!

 

[Mr Meow]

You forgot to mention Cotton On.

And Scotty financing it all while Steve Hocking pulls the strings with his old CFL contacts.

Rort!

I think that's mostly a byproduct of being in good teams and not getting the defenders he would in others. He looked like being a player early but has not kicked on at all. A sub 190cm player averaging 9 career disposals wouldn't make it most teams.

Mate,

The Boundaries too narrow and crowd isnt an excuse weve used.

However the timezone and umpires are a legit whinge.

All the AFL had to do was make us the 430pm EST start time. Numerous independent studies have shown that pro athletes struggle to perform early morning.

Umps have been consistent in paying you free kicks in front of goals and not given us anything.

And all the real estate any player could want.

Also continuing to choke against decent opposition like late last year. That has to be a grievance.

Lucky Geelong went to sleep in the third quarter.

He kicked 40+ goals in a team that didn't play finals in 2023.

Have the Rort discussions started yet?? Ahh big footy don’t change. Geelong top 4 again

 

[Plugger35]

Freo and Murphy Reid have gone missing again.

I agree he hasn't kicked on - but then again I am not what he would kick on to become.

Kicked 37 goals last year and 41 the year before, which is great for a secondary forward.

 

[Black Saab]

In their first five games the Cats play against one finalist from 2024

not yet..
but it will

 

[seanoff]

Bailey Smith seems harder at it and less playing for frees.

 

[Munich]

Baz best on ground. Not bad for 19 months out.

Love you Baz <3

 

[Red Black and Blue]

He kicked 40+ goals in a team that didn't play finals in 2023.

Which is fine. I just had higher hopes for him than what he is. Put him in our team and he's not kicking 25.

 

[Jon#]

Go Cats........

..I tipped them

 

[Mr Meow]

Which is fine. I just had higher hopes for him than what he is. Put him in our team and he's not kicking 20.

Fine? He was a 21 year old in a mediocre side that finished 12th.

 

[Wojcinski]

Kicked 37 goals last year and 41 the year before, which is great for a secondary forward.

so 78 goals in the past 2 seasons, in an Essendon context for the guy you're replying to Peter Wright has kicked 38 goals in the same period of time (Jake Stringer kicked 63)

 

[seanoff]

Which is fine. I just had higher hopes for him than what he is. Put him in our team and he's not kicking 25.

Tbf. Tony Lockett and the chief would struggle to kick 25 with way ur guys go inside 50.

Will take Big Footy awhile yet to Cotton On to that.

Still games to play, but Reid played 1 hot quarter, I think Lalor had a better game overall trying not to be biased.
