Autopsy AFL 2025 Rd 24 - North v Crows - Sat August 23rd 1:10pm AEST (Marvel)

[WetCrow1991]

Dead rubber? You were playing for top spot

I know things can be confusing, but there is no practical difference between 2nd and 1st.

 

[DangerSloane]

Lol. You'll only play 2 games more than North. Your midfield is puss.

What you up to... year 13 of your rebuild?

Maybe 2026 will be your year to improve. I suspect not though.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Lol. You'll only play 2 games more than North. Your midfield is puss.

Geez the umpiring in this last quarter was comical for someone who doesn't care which side won

I think everyone would agree the umpiring isn’t getting any better (**)

**Except Andrew Dillon

 

[WetCrow1991]

Wont be irrelevant when you get knocked out in straight sets cause of your shit midfield that can’t win a hardball lmao

yeah sure sure.

 

[ABAB]

Didn't you guys play North and West Coast twice this season?? LOL

Richmond, Essendon and the Saints lol. When was the last time Geelong had a trip to WA????

 

[Cyclonus]

North played well, great midfield and some elite forwards. Good on them for the effort. A good win for my boys, albeit not the most convincing.

 

[FyfeToAdelaide]

First three quarters Adelaide were getting paid the softest free kicks while missing everything for us when the game was there to be won

I thought I was biased. You take it to extremes.

 

[Geezington]

yeah sure sure.

Ladder position won’t mean much when you can’t win a clearance against a good team lmao, come back to me when you get knocked out in straight sets

 

[Soggy2112]

Worst. Minor Premier. Ever.

Really?

18 wins, 5 losses. 6-5 against the top 9.

Our losses have been by 1, 19, 18, 10 and 3 points.

I’m concerned that our form seems to have dipped a bit and with no Rankine, we might have peaked too early. However, that’s a pretty strong home and away season.

2017 you could definitely make this argument.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Adelaide’s shit midfield getting destroyed, they will not go far in finals

They never got out of 2nd gear today. Their midfield is probably about average and they're minor premiers, so imagine if they had an elite midfield.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Didn't you guys play North and West Coast twice this season?? LOL

Because we finished 15th in 2024. Coincidentally the biggest jump from season to season in the history of the league.

 

[twiggy4PM]

Worst. Minor Premier. Ever.

Seeing Geelong isn't better the "worst minor premier ever" how shit are the Cats?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Not a convincing showing by the Crows, regardless of context or excuses.

This finals series is wiiide open.

 

[PCORF]

Adelaide should get up by 2-4 goals in a fairly high scoring affair.

But then the likely rematch against Collingwood in the QF.

I made a good prediction there.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

I thought I was biased. You take it to extremes.

I will say there were suspicious decisions in the last quarter but the game was basically done.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Ladder position won’t mean much when you can’t win a clearance against a good team lmao, come back to me when you get knocked out in straight sets

Yeah sure sure.

 

[PCORF]

Not a convincing showing by the Crows.

This finals series is wiiide open.

Collingwood will go to Adelaide Oval hungry and full of inspiration. Look at them in the 4th last night.

 

[Bungeye]

It could've been a blowout but umpires intervened and made it an interesting spectacle.

I hope they can do Collingwood a favour in two weeks time.

 

[PerthBoy86]

I know things can be confusing, but there is no practical difference between 2nd and 1st.

Except likely opponent. Finish 1st its Collingwood or Hawthorn, finish 2nd its Brisbane, Collingwood or Hawthorn. I think of those opponents you'd probably take Collingwood before Hawthorn/Brisbane at home.

Did you see the last 3 goals to North in the last 10 minutes from the umpire???? It would have been 4 had Curtis kicked that BS insufficient free, hope Brisbane get the same against

 

[PerthBoy86]

Collingwood will go to Adelaide Oval hungry and full of inspiration. Look at them in the 4th last night.

Were pretty ordinary last night, including the 4th. Dees just suck at finishing most of the time. Had many chances to ice the game.

 

[YeoShuey]

Because we finished 15th in 2024. Coincidentally the biggest jump from season to season in the history of the league.

No issues with that.

Just pointing out if we are going to look at easy draws and criticise other teams for that, it doesn't get much easier than that.

 

[Soggy2112]

They never got out of 2nd gear today. Their midfield is probably about average and they're minor premiers, so imagine if they had an elite midfield.

So essentially, if one of our top 5 players hadn’t done something monumentally stupid we’d be alright…

 

[WetCrow1991]

Except likely opponent. Finish 1st its Collingwood or Hawthorn, finish 2nd its Brisbane, Collingwood or Hawthorn. I think of those opponents you'd probably take Collingwood before Hawthorn/Brisbane at home.

Eh much of a muchness really.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Incredibly shit umpiring, seems there are different rules for Adelaide, just like Rankine

Pathetic to complain when the umps kept you from getting thumped
