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

[YeoShuey]

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

Dees are a terrible matchup for them. Always close games between them.

Kind of like their matchup with Adelaide but they seem to go stronger against them.

 

[WetCrow1991]

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.

Oh yeah playing North and WC twice definitely was great. Though there is no question Geelong had the easiest run into the finals.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I made a good prediction there.

Astonished we cracked the ton with Larkey and Zurhaar missing

 

[Hollow Knight]

Yeah sure sure.

I’d be keeping a lid on it. The tiered fixturing often gives teams a leg up in the H&A only for reality to bite in September.

Enjoy the minor premiership, but then brace yourself.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

The 4th qtr was one the worst umpiring performances you’ll see.

The htb calls against the crows compared to what north were getting away away with was insane

 

[YeoShuey]

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.

All 3 would be the same. Collingwood seem to have got the better of them for the last few years. Always close matches.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Just need Brisbane to win for the Crows v Pies grudge match QF

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Minor premiers have only gone on to win the premiership twice in the last 10 seasons.

I’d be keeping a lid on it. The tiered fixturing often gives teams a leg up in the H&A only for reality to bite in September.

That’s not true. 3 of the last 4 minor premiers have won it.

 

[bigman]

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

Nice rebuild you got going there mate

 

[Hollow Knight]

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

One position more than Brisbane going from 15th to 2nd in 2019.

Then we went out in straight sets. Oof.

That tiered fixturing can do some heavy, heavy rubber banding.

 

[deck]

Collingwood will go to Adelaide Oval hungry and full of inspiration.

Collingwood have history of poor form leading in to September. Then heading to Adelaide with a big name or 2 ruled out and beating there more fancied opponent.

 

[Hollow Knight]

That’s not true. 3 of the last 4 minor premiers have won it.

Yeah I looked at a dodgy list then edited out when I realised.

 

[Outtatym]

Nice rebuild you got going there mate

Cheers legend. Nice club culture you got going there - a racist and a homophobe. What's next year's trick

 

[PerthBoy86]

All 3 would be the same. Collingwood seem to have got the better of them for the last few years. Always close matches.

Have a feeling Adelaide will come out angry and belt them. Crowd will be feral.

 

[CrowToon]

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

This finals series is wiiide open.

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.

Need another certain Brisbane poster and a Collingwood one to show up and we have the quadrant of trolls who show up in every Crows thread to take their shot

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

The bloke was at full flight running towards defence, along with his opponent.
He ran a straight line, with no "corraling" whatsoever. His major crime was not sprinting for over 50m, slowly slightly at one point, but beyond 5m past the mark.

So the question is, why did the umpire tell him to stand waaay beyond the actual mark?

The exact same thing was paid against Draper earlier

 

[YeoShuey]

It's trolling to say that Adelaide had an easy draw playing West Coast and North twice? Really?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Got anything beyond ad hominem? Care to point out anything in those posts that is unreasonable or trolling?

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Worst. Minor Premier. Ever.

Enjoy mad Monday xx

 

[Rod Stroker]

The htb calls against the crows compared to what north were getting away away with was insane

so you're just ignoring the dodgy 50s you got? 5 of them, 2 resulted in goals, which was the end margin

 

[YeoShuey]

Have a feeling Adelaide will come out angry and belt them. Crowd will be feral.

I doubt it but I guess we will see. Can't remember the last time Adelaide belted them.

As for the crowd, it is always feral there. Why they would be more feral now? Idk.

 

[bigman]

Cheers legend. Nice club culture you got going there - a racist and a homophobe. What's next year's trick

Meanwhile your culture is finishing bottom three every year and begging for priority picks.

Enjoy using pick 3.

Oh wait.

Ps. Your current coach is a homophobe. Or does that not count?

 

[ABAB]

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

If it was all about the midfield, your guys would be Minor Premier instead of us with both teams doing a rebuild 7 years ago. At least you have another top 4 pick, oh wait.....

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

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.

This weak and dumb as shit .

Only Brisbane and Collingwood played more top 9 teams , Geelong played one less.

Anyone who thinks Adelaide had a soft draw is an idiot

Astonished we cracked the ton with Larkey and Zurhaar missing

Liked the look of Trembath and Curtis has come on in leaps and bounds.

Forward line should improve significantly next year.
