Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 2 - Crows v Dogs Fri March 20th 7:40pm AEDT/ 7:10pm (AO)

[Gavin Excell]

Wow, did you rehearse that one? Cool! Who would have thought.

Yes it's amusing given the wailing of hawthorn fans at alleged umpiring shortcomings

 

[Elixuh]

Nicksys gameplan of chipping the ball around in defence and then turning it over to the dogs was a protest against the new attacking rules which make defending illegal.

Respect.

 

[Scottish Bob]

Bonts Brownlow to lose.

Wasn’t in the top 3 for me, Williams ,Friejah, Baker in that order

 

[Wosh]

Best wishes for the GWS match, first win is right around the corner!

Well done.

 

[Mynamesinuse]

By what metric?

He’s actually done something

 

[LightTower4]

Darcy playing for frees tonight

Dogs getting run of the green

Dogs free kicks are ruining the game

Umpires are doing everything to win it for the dogs

Dogs free coming

Umps stepping in

Umpires having a laugh

Crows getting done up the backdoor tonight

Time left is until dogs get in front

Dogs no chance without the umps tonight

The umpires won this for the dogs

Free kick dogs

Good win umpires

Umpires were abysmal

Trying to figure out the point you’re trying to make

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Yeah. Don’t you remember the two of us were together when we saw him and then we spent the next 30 minutes collecting cigarette butts.

Actually, I was the bloke behind the counter.
You know, the one who cancelled your sickness benefits.

“…bad back? Sure pal, sure…”

Bevo is married so Gary probably enjoyed it

Lots of games, goals and marks.
1 mates missus.

 

[FreoRicci]

6-8 Votes right now. Richards has to get the 3 for OR.

The umps favour Bonts.
19 disposals and 3 goals is good enough

 

[Go the Guts]

Rankine so much better when he lets his football do the talking and not his mouth.

I really wish you’d do the same.

 

[FreoRicci]

Love the guys who have to fight and scrap to get themselves on a list.

Heart and soul player Bakes

So underrated too.
Fast and such a hard nut on the outside.
Can easily be one of the best wing man in the league

 

[wilsonmatic]

What is foxtels obsession with meat trays? Naughton won't cook it Gary you dickhead, he lives in Victoria.

 

[dergert]

Umpires did their best to get the crows over the line.

 

[Philth]

I thought Khamis was excellent tonight.

 

[tropicaltiger]

Crows just lacked a bit of composure in clutch moments - quite a few fumbles and poor disposals in the last 10 minutes...
umps helped the dogs out a couple of times too, late in the game where they're forwards particularly Darcy drags players down illegally and then roughs them up while they are on the ground....no downfield free kick.....instead crows lose momentum as the ball wrongly gets taken back to the original infringement giving dogs 30 seconds extra to get numbers back.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Be tough being Nick's looking your players in the eye post game realising you are the reason for the loss

I wonder if they admit as much behind closed doors

 

[CrowToon]

On the balance of play the Dogs absolutely deserved it.

20 mins of good footy won't get you in the unlucky loss category imo.

But it is frustrating to lose it when you are up by a goal with momentum.

But not as frustrating as watching how you COULD play if the coach wasn't a total moron.

He would throw them under the bus just as much as he does on air.

 

[Whowants2know]

How good are the dogs?

3 wins after round 2
That's world record pace,

put just about pass as that Vietnam vet that was legless in the movie Forrest Gump.

Yeah Dawson pretty much said that Nicks kept them until the last quarter to let loose. Realised too late that the game plan wasn't working and changed things too late.

 

[revo333]

The umps favour Bonts.
19 disposals and 3 goals is good enough

Not a stats accumulator and now with the umps having access to stats that might not work in his favour.

 

[Cyclops]

You're a Collingwood supporter talking about unhinged crowds

...so I know what I'm talking about.

Just to be technical, our crowds are boorish, enormously loud and deeply ungenerous....but unhinged? No.

 

[Footypie32]

Umpires did their best to get the crows over the line.

Yep, that 5er I sent them obviously not enough.

I'll try $10 next week...

Why does Gerard Whately look like he wears one of those Dickensian nightcaps to bed..?
