    Autopsy AFL 2024 Preliminary Final - Swans v Port Fri Sept 20th 7:40pm EST (SCG)

    Logan McDonald is so goddamn slow. Such a mediocre athlete. I expect those types to be more skilled natural footballers to compensate but he leaves me unsatisfied.

    Where does Jesse Hogan's 2024 season rank compared to other modern era KPFs?

    Very nice.

    Where does Jesse Hogan's 2024 season rank compared to other modern era KPFs?

    Was it better than any of Curnow's seasons? How does it rank compared to C. Curnow, T. Cloke, J. Kennedy, L. Franklin, J. Reiwoldt, T. Hawkins, J. Roughead, J. Cameron, T. Walker, and T. Lynch? I think that about covers the best KPFs of the 2010s and onward. Jesse seemingly combined Travis...

    Jesse Hogan: 2024 Coleman Medallist

    Great season. Shame he wasn't able to reach this form with Fremantle. Can you imagine a Hogan-Treacy tandem?

    More disappointing era: 03-05 Freo or 22-24 Freo?

    Why would anyone want to discuss one of the worst teams in the AFL? It's been repeated ad nauseam. I think you're acting paranoid. Stop derailing the thread.

    More disappointing era: 03-05 Freo or 22-24 Freo?

    This is a legitimate thread. I noticed several parallels between these two eras, including the final game of the season being a Finals-deciding matchup against Port Adelaide. Not everything has an agenda. Chill.

    More disappointing era: 03-05 Freo or 22-24 Freo?

    Seeing Hogan reach his potential must hurt. It just wasn't meant to be. There's an alternate reality where he's doing this for Freo, they make multiple Finals, and Ross is still the coach.

    How scared are you of St Kilda this year?

    Lost a handful of close games. Some to very good sides. Bounced back well to end the season. Expect them to rebound next year.

    More disappointing era: 03-05 Freo or 22-24 Freo?

    Both began with breakout Finals appearances, followed up with disappointing seasons of missing the eight. If I'm not mistaken, the Chris Connolly era was seen as a talented list underperforming and not meeting expectations. They turned it around in the back half of 2006, finished in the top...

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 24 - Freo v Port Sun Aug 25th 6:10pm EST/4:10pm WST (OS)

    Has anyone else mentioned that this game is reminiscent of the Port vs. Freo Round 22, 2005 game at AAMI Stadium? Similar stakes. Last game of the round. I remember watching it on the old tube TV 19 years ago.

    2024 Jesse Hogan vs. 2018 Jesse Hogan

    Greater Western Sydney KPF Jesse Hogan is now leading the Coleman Medal after kicking five goals against Hawthorn today. He's having arguably the best season of his career, living up to his considerable hype and associated expectations. His career was disrupted by injuries early on but he still...

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 19 - Bombers v Crows Fri July 19th 7:40pm AEST (Marvel)

    Game of the year. One of the best games in a long while. Reminiscent of the Adelaide-Bulldogs 2015 Elimination Final.

    Has scoring gone up recently?

    It seems like there have been more high-scoring contests of late. I wonder if this has anything to do with the reinterpretation of the holding-the-ball rule. Or perhaps it's just an anomaly, a small sample size outlier. The average team score is up to 84 according to AFL Tables. This is the...

    Autopsy Round 11, 2024: Positives and Negatives vs Kuwarna

    The Eagles need to make their midfield more Harley-centric. Too often he is ignored by teammates when he's in space. Their first priority should be to get him the ball. He's the most damaging player on the team: he has a powerful, accurate kick, a bullet-like handball, and line-breaking...

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 11 - Dogs v Swans Thu May 23rd 7:30pm AEST (Marvel)

    That dude's speech was the longest goddamn pregame speech I've ever heard. Good message but terrible delivery. Less is more; keep it concise and people might actually remember what you've said.

    Who were the bogey teams of the premiership teams and dynasties?

    As they say in boxing, styles make fights. Richmond used to beat Hawthorn a lot in that 2012-2016 period if I recall correctly. And West Coast went 4-1 over Brisbane between 2002 and 2004. And West Coast had trouble with Fremantle, Sydney, and the Western Bulldogs in 2005 and 2006. Any other...

    Worst forward line, midfield, and defence to win a premiership in the AFL era?

    The 2006 Eagles had a pretty terrible forward line. The midfield had to continually overextend itself and kick goals to compensate. Oh, what I would've given for them to have had a time-traveled Josh Kennedy on those teams. I believe the 2005 Eagles had the least marks inside 50 per game in the...
