Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 3 -Port v Eagles Sun March 29th 12:30pm AEDT/12:00pm (AO)

[pjcrows]

It appears Carr's "put Lukosius back" isn't as effective as Hinkley's "put Westhoff back".

 

[Xtreme]

Kenny was the life blood of the club. They stuffed up #bringbackkenny

Good stuff to the Eagles, 2 games clear of Essendon!!

 

[kranky al]

We will forever tear up your tarp…..

 

[voorhees]

essendon and coach Scott breathe a sigh of relief...

 

[illegaleagle]

What a mark Shanahan

 

[Roobs321]

that's the least post-win coverage I've seen from Fox, ugh

 

[illegaleagle]

Already won more games than last year after 3 games

[Dazb86]

Crazy how bad a team goes when a legendary coach departs.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

We dont have the fitness base yet but we do have the talent

Shanahan is a machine, Duursma is a lock for Rising Star, CDT looks awesome, Allan and Lindsay looking the goods. Reid playing proper football, Davis fantastic on the wing. 2 wins 1 loss and in general the top 5 in our B&F is probably 4 blokes under 22 years old.

We probably end up with only 6 or 7 wins as we get tired as the year drags on but much progress already and its 3 weeks

Im sure he's enjoying the cushy media job much more than coaching that club

 

[jackster83]

Could they sack Hinkley a second time?

Well he's still on their payroll.

Think it's something like $400k they are paying him this year.

 

[Crowbling]

Port had a good coach and they replaced him with this clown.

 

[Caesarr]

Jobe Shanahan... what a player....

 

[MJG14]

Ironically, the ARC overturns a last touch rule to give Port Power a chance to win lol.

Turns out they CAN stop play to intervene.

 

[cactuscall]

Flick straight over the ch70 on free to air

Did not even occur to me! thanks

 

[voorhees]

they did screw you out of some celebration time.
pretty poor fox

 

[Wosh]

YAS

 

[BartBart]

Imagine once WCE play well in the 1st quarter

 

[Tandy]

Bring back Kenny

 

[bzparkes]

Lol Port.

Their supporters were telling us how easy their first 5 games were.

The sort of result that will convince Zak to stay.

Completely bottled it. Should've started 4-0.

Wouldn't surprise me if Richmond win next week now.

 

[BFew]

Eagles almost in 3rd place!

 

[Quinz]

Turns out they CAN stop play to intervene.

CDT was holding on to be fair that made sense from the game perspective but if he'd moved it on they couldn't have done that

No doubt on the talent part - on your other point - you’ve won all three second halves: are you confusing body size/shape with fitness? You aren’t seeming to have any trouble running out matches. Even today with port finishing fast it wasn’t lack of fitness it was just that you went defensive and tried to close it down. I thought you looked fast and up tempo all day (albeit I missed the first quarter)

Yep should've played on but players weren't really moving.
