Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 11 - Lions v Dogs Sat August 8th 7:40pm AEST (Gabba) Match Highlights in OP

[Hollow Knight]

That free against Berry was apocalyptically wrong.

 

[bzparkes]

Bullshit I saw it coming! I knew that 2015 seasom was our last serious threat with our list profile...

But yes, good point

Fair enough. I'll certainly admit it caught me by surprise. Freo looked to be fading late in the season but I still expected them to be thereabouts the next year. Maybe not contending but at least finals.

 

[Kapow!!!]

That was an immaculate play from defence to goal. Every kick perfect, every decision perfect. Best play of the night...but they aren't the better team

 

[BarryMorgan]

True but Freo had been up and about for quite a few years. Dramatic fall from grace yes but I don't think anyone saw it coming.

Dogs have been middling for years aside from their premiership.

If the Dogs had been knocked out in the first or second round of the finals there's no way he'd still be coaching them.

That one great run bought him more tickets than he's been recently entitled to in my opinion.

What's the opinion of Dogs' fans?

Yep, probably bang on.

 

[Rob]

Ellis-Yolmen really is a spud.

 

[Daddy Bolt]

Ellis-Yolmen really is a spud.

Yes, completely asleep.

 

[Power Raid]

lions slowing things down

 

[Punt05]

I’m enjoying watching the Eagles and Ellis-Yolmen show

 

[Themanbun]

Daniel Rich is one of the best kicks of a footy I have ever seen.

 

[Mister B]

* that was bad.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Fair enough. I'll certainly admit it caught me by surprise. Freo looked to be fading late in the season but I still expected them to be thereabouts the next year. Maybe not contending but at least finals.

I maintain that 2015 fade was a mixture of a heavy Lyon plan that took it's toll and running into 5 out of 6 weeks including 4 in a row of muddy, wet games in contrast to most of the league (Gold Coast in winter seldom rains FFS). Bad luck, risky plan, old bones...it wasn't meant to be. But as soon as McPharlin retired I knew it was a quick descent from there

 

[srobbo]

Oh no Charlie....

 

[Power Raid]

oh bugger

 

[Ron The Bear]

Fremantle's fall from grace has been somewhat like the Western Bulldogs'.

Freo post-2015 resembled the Dogs post-2010.

 

[Power Raid]

that doesn't look good at all

fingers crossed for him

 

[Struggle]

why was the game held up with no stretcher or blood?

 

[Toffee Lion]

That was vintage 01-02-03 Lions play right there.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

cameron deserves better

 

[Mister B]

That was a great handball from Robinson. After watching the Cameron injury again, have noticed more and more defenders giving up on the spoil and effectively tackling players in mid air.

I certainly didn't see it coming! Lol

7th last year is middling, but it's an impressive enough result to secure Beveridge his job I guess. Also, if you finish in 7th position, it could almost be expected that you'll bow out of the finals race quite quickly. Anyways, they are now a fifty/fifty proposition to enter the finals race, so time will tell as to whether Luke's position is warranted.

Unsurprisingly the top 2 teams are the two teams mainly not affected by the COVID restrictions. Brisbane will play all games in QLD and Port are the only contending team allowed to FIFO like a typical season. IMO its leading up to a Brisbane vs Port GF with the winner being decided whether they play the GF at the Gabba or Adelaide Oval.

 

[Xtreme]

Umpires now keeping the scoreline a little more respectable.

 

[JuniorWatch]

Eagles. Not sure i've ever seen a player who isn't injured with 40% TOG.

 

[Xtreme]

Brisbane vs Port GF with the winner being decided whether they play the GF at the Gabba or Adelaide Oval.

Lions will get their revenge 16 years later!

 

[Rob]

There's a huge inconsistency in the game when that's paid as a block (and rightly so), but Dunkley is lauded for his block on Naughton's opponent about 3 minutes ago that allowed Naughton to float in and take the mark.
