Autopsy AFL 2019 Round 18: Adelaide v Essendon, 7:20pm ACST Adelaide Oval

[hutchy31]

WC made a GF in 2015, then took a dive and rebounded for a flag in 2018.

Any Adelaide fan hoping for lightning to strike twice might want to have a serious think about that. Can’t imagine this list contending at the top end now, forward line is a debacle against good teams and the mids just aren’t hard enough.

 

[Go the Guts]

lel. Its getting interesting

Lol. Why would you post this. It makes Carlton look positively, insanely, stupid.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Let’s see if he gets more than Mitch “secret spice” McGovern.

He wont get more food i can tell u that.

All this s**t treatment of Gibbs making him play seconds and half of your players are not even sticking tackles. Bring back Gibbs, time for some class in your team.

 

[sobrave]

McGuane called the Bombers flat track bullies. Well GWS, North and Crows hmmm.

yep, ads up

I thougt so too lol. At least wait til we hopefully beat GC and climb to pick 3.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Gerard Healy tried his best during the week to tear down Dylan Clarke's work. And yeah, the umpires paid a few cheap holding frees against him.

But he still claimed another victim. Sloane anonymous for most of the game. Best tagger in the game.

 

[davis_756]

******* oath it does!!!

Lol, you will be depressed by tomorrow if we beat GC and it turns into pick 3.

You think I am trolling.but you can't win a flag with the list you have, not biting the bullet now is only going to hurt you longer term.

Stocker + Pick 2 (possibly 3 or 4 by the end of the season) for pick 11 or lower? I'll take that as a win

 

[sobrave]

Are Lynch and Jenkins the biggest downhill skiers in the league?

i genuinely did not see lynch in the second half, assumed he was off injured
jenkins i saw flail about for frees once or twice

Mitch will find a way. Uber eats has made it even easier.

 

[Americanpies]

how can a team with a stats line like this lose by 4 goals -

clearances -

Adelaide 50
Essendon 28

After half time, it felt like everytime Essendon got the ball they were going to score a goal.

Cheap frees? Lol they don't pay near enough against taggers who don't even look at the ball.

 

[halalsnackpack]

Freo, Port and the Crows should all sack their coaches this year

 

[Macpotata]

Great game.

Dons in full flight as good as any to watch. They've got that come back in them 1-2 times per season.


*en beautiful.

They still have a few experienced heads to come back. Gibbs Douglas Jacobs Ricciuto. Open year and easy run home.

Anyone could win it.

 

[hutchy31]

Their midfield are probably all faster than our fastest and just ran it through the middle

Geelong should just concede a final against Essendon then.

Unless good teams actually prepare for speedy players?

 

[Great8]

What a win, so proud of them tonight.
Poor old Eddie wishes he could play the Suns more than twice a year

 

[Americanpies]

I saw Lynch twice right near the end. First was a handball to an Essendon player which I think resulted in a goal. And the other was a nothing kick.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

His impact was enormous. Try actually watching football.

Try watching it with the sound down, then tell me if his impact was enormous.


Besides, that wasn't even really the point. The point was that I'd prefer the commentators to begin their flagrant floggery over various scenarios (ie. Stringer playing well) once they actually occur.

The Ch7 commentary is just so blatantly pre-determined it's humiliating to all involved.

 

[sobrave]

essendon first interstate win of 2019 that stings

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Had a pretty good game tonight. Bruce ruined it by being OTT as usual, along with the Zach Merrett being "the best finisher in the game" comment. He just gets wayyy too excited. Should retire this year.

As a midfielder he was slaughtered. Embarrassed.

As a forward, he kicked 2.


Mediocre game. Ok at absolute best.

Stringer I used to hate him but when he's on its great to watch. Same as the Anthony long name bloke. Pure electric

 

[Hoops]

Adam Goodes says this is racist

I don't think he would

 

[Macpotata]

Zahrakis is a funny campaigner. Seems like a cool, light hearted bloke.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

No idea how Adelaide were such short favourites

They only beat GC in the last month!
