    Autopsy DELIRIUM

    Threw the shackles off and went through the middle. Can't play like that all the time because of the high energy and risk reward but we actually have some upper-level users of the ball when we decide to go. On that note, I can't remember a better game disposal-wise for LDU. The up-and-under...

    Autopsy DELIRIUM

    We're all dying for the wheel to finally turn but this is what we have to keep in mind. Sheezel, Wardlaw are 21 and I don't know if O'Sullivan is even 20 yet. When the three of them are in there we look incredible. Plus Trembath. Who's only played about 10 games and got on top of Collins and...

    First time ever a team has the two best players in the league?

    1996 - Carey and Mckernan. Mckernan won the Brownlow, the AFL MVP, All Australian ruck, and Carey was Wayne Carey.

    Autopsy Autopsy vs GWS - like one of those trains in the subcontinent, far too many passengers

    We're also one of the worst football clubs at front half turnovers. In the modern game it's so hard to score from back half as you have to transition the ball the entire field. I'm thankful for these posts of yours as it's good to read someone who's not enamoured by slight "improvement" six...

    Toast BF Hall of Shame - when did you join this site - V 2025

    April 2008. 17 years. Or to put it in temporal terms this board can understand: 8 rebuilds ago.

    Unofficial Preview Changes and pre-match discussion vs [sigh] Brisbane in Hobart

    Watching the game against Port completely soured me on CZ. Powell-Pepper played the same role and was relentless in his selfless pressure and was probably responsible for 2-4 goals indirectly and also kicked a couple. Who cares if Zuurhaar occasionally gets them over the top coming back or...

    Autopsy North lose to Carlton.

    Shocking skills across the field. We have maybe three players with elite foot skills. That's a death knell in modern footy. Defenders do not communicate or help each other which leads to fumbles and turnovers Combden is fools gold. Will intercept two or three but will fumbles three more and fly...

    Autopsy North lose to Carlton.

    Honestly, good on Carlton for putting the foot on the throat in the last quarter. Too often on modern AFL there's an unspoken agreement to just play out the strong and a 50 point 3/4 time margin is often shortened to 6 goals or so to paint over all the cracks. Hard to hide from such a bad flogging.

    Will Buddy kick 1000?

    And compare that to this dunce below. I haven't posted since 2019, but I'm just chiming in now to remind myself to never make predictions. I really like Franklin, so this post is bizarre. I think hidden in there is dismay that Hawthorn were trying to spread the scoring load and not be so...

    Game Day Collingwood v GWS Giants - Preliminary Finals — Sat 21 Sep, 4:35PM AEST, MCG

    Just wait until there's ten minutes to go in the fourth quarter and one team is up by a couple of goals. 'Gotta take a risk now. May as well risk losing by five goals trying to win this game.' :rolleyes:

    Jumper clash fails

    What the 'open your eyes, there's no jumper clash' brigade fail to understand is how aesthetically pleasing it is to watch two teams in clearly distinguishable colours, especially when you're not particularly invested in the outcome. It makes it easier to create interest in the outcome as I'm...

    Time for a flexible schedule late in the season

    It's not a perfect solution, but I reckon you could have three games floating, and a month or two out, from those three games, one is chosen for Friday night and then the other two become the Saturday 1.45pm and 2.10pm games.

    Autopsy vs Collingwood - Rd 15 2019

    After the over-complicated gameplan involving the overuse of possession under BS and the turnstile tackling, this game was manna from heaven. I can't remember the last time I saw a premiership favourite taking short steps, not bodying the ball, and simply not wanting to be there. Credit to the...

    (No Trolling) 2018 AFL Grand Final - West Coast v Collingwood, 2.30pm AEST, MCG

    Can anyone confirm that there is any doubt about it?

    (No Trolling) 2018 AFL Grand Final - West Coast v Collingwood, 2.30pm AEST, MCG

    Gil cops a bit, but this is one thing the AFL administration has gotten right. Mike Brady was blacklisted under Demetriou. Great to see he's back on an annual basis.
