Autopsy 2025 Round 21 - Western Bulldogs vs GWS Giants, 7.30pm Thursday 31 July, Marvel Stadium

[Drummond]

I know it’s not the game to make clear and level headed decisions, but boy Leek Aleer doesn’t look AFL standard.

I know it’s not the game to make clear and level headed decisions, but boy Leek Aleer doesn’t look AFL standard.

I think we're going to be missing Buckley badly until he comes back.

 

[Orange Agent]

I think we're going to be missing Buckley badly until he comes back.

I'm not sure why Bucks hasn't been in AA discussions, been better than Taylor this year.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

To win, we need to have the highest halftime comeback in AFL/VFL history. The current record for a successful halftime comeback is 52 points which was by Collingwood in 1970. Maybe Kingsley should play videos of St Kilda’s 3rd quarter comeback last weekend to inspire our lads at half time

 

[Tenens Pila]

I know it’s not the game to make clear and level headed decisions, but boy Leek Aleer doesn’t look AFL standard.

No problem here if he's traded.

 

[Tenens Pila]

Only 1 midfielder for the Giants has >10 disposals (Green with 11).

Coniglio with 8, Callaghan with 8 - hello????

Hogan with 1 handball to half time.

Their heads aren't in it.

 

[orange tsunami]

Too many duds playing for the Giants tonight, I’ve always said that it’s the bottom six that let your team down. Aleer’s horrific defending, mcmullin’s soda he missed, Angwin’s limited impact in the midfield, Fonti not spoiling/marking, Thomas who’s come in for Tobes on 3 possessions, imagine the impact Tobes could’ve had instead.

 

[Big Stinky Monk]

18-8 free kick count against is probably the only part of this trainwreck that was expected

 

[orange tsunami]

Briggs is rubbish, leaving English open in the fwd 50 constantly and copping a hiding in the ruck, as well as having 56% tog. Bring Madden back in.

 

[Tenens Pila]

Feeling sorry for Briggs.

He's leading the hitouts 19-14 against English, but with so many talls in the Dog's lineup, he can't cover all of them.

 

[orange tsunami]

FFS HOGAN

 

[davidgoes4wce]

Hogan and Stringer have had set shots for goal from about 30 out and missed badly.

 

[Tenens Pila]

Hogan's kicking has been well below his usual standard for quite a while.

I reckon that foot injury is worse than reported and he'll be off for surgery the moment the Giants' season is over.

 

[steviewonder36]

Sorry, but Giants are no flag chance.

Too inconsistent

 

[davidgoes4wce]

Himmelberg getting angry at his own man- for not manning up on Naughton.

 

[orange tsunami]

Sorry, but Giants are no flag chance.

Too inconsistent

I agree, we can’t beat teams like dockers, port, bulldogs but we can beat pies, lions, cats

 

[orange tsunami]

Darcy has humiliated Taylor

 

[steviewonder36]

I agree, we can’t beat teams like dockers, port, bulldogs but we can beat pies, lions, cats

Lucky last 3 games should be easy

 

[Drummond]

Take the wins tonight - XOH ball has been excellent.

 

[Tenens Pila]

Another (ongoing) win is Cadman's accuracy at goal.

The yips seem to be a thing of the past.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

I agree, we can’t beat teams like dockers, port, bulldogs but we can beat pies, lions, cats

Guess it depends on who we play in the elimination finals? We have beaten 4 of the other 8 finals contenders, but Adelaide, Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Fremantle have readily accounted for us this season.

 

[orange tsunami]

Free kicks off the ball have gotta be the worst part about footy

 

[Tenens Pila]

Stringer moved to defense.

Desperate times.....

 

[GWS Goose]

We are being outplayed but this umpiring has been horrific.
Some very soft frees given and we can barely buy one.

 

[domologue]

Some games are just literal bin fires…

Says to me, travel, exhaustion, mental.

Cause this isn’t a regular loss.

Maybe they have our number, but even so, this is weird…
