Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 17 - Giants v Demons Sat September 12th 7:40pm AEST (Gabba) Match Highlights in OP

[Struggle]

how much better are songs without the clapping

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Want to see the replay, but to the naked eye, that looked like a clear 50m penalty at the end there.

Absolutely shocking non-decision. Really affected his kick as well.

 

[Drummond]

Might have been handy to have Coniglio out there tonight

Have you actually watched him this year? In 2020? He has sucked. Sucked.

 

[Wosh]

Good win Dees, enjoy

Who's that midget in the team song

 

[Millsie69]

Is there any Giants fans here for a question?

Could Himmelberg move down back now that Riccardi has come through? Hasn't had the best season forward and thought he was good when he was moved down back last week.

Or do you still rate him more forward?

GWS have fans?

 

[wilsonmatic]

A lot going on. Plenty of work for the MRO if he's doing his job.

Such as?

 

[Anja_Nees]

Happens 40 times every game. Give us a spell.

Went well beyond the usual contact after a mark, which isn’t paid often enough anyway.

It’s annoying at the best of times. Needs a crackdown. Just allows the defence to stream back and clog up the forward line.

Leadership 0. Case in point ripped into the boys at half-time against Sydney and got 0 response.

Embarrassing from Goodwin. Looks like a under 12's coach, directing traffic on the boundary line and hugging players after every win.What a goose.

 

[Luuuc]

What's people's call? Should that have been a 50 to GWS? Clearly restricted from going back and taking his kick.

In 2020 that pretty much hasn't been a 50 all season, but it absolutely should be.
It's odd that the AFL claim to want to speed the game up and make it free-flowing, but such an obvious impediment to it - players being held up after taking a mark - gets ignored these days, when they used to be red hot on it for a while.
To me it's such an easy improvement in the game, and very little interpretation by the umps is needed. When a guy takes a mark, you immediately clear out. Hang onto the guy and it's 50. If a player not directly involved in a marking contest even touches the player who took the mark - that's 50 as well.
Closely-related is the intentional creeping over the mark that is equally rampant and easy to crack down on.

You think?

Imagine paying a player a million bucks a year (or thereabouts), making them captain and dropping them for a must win game at the pointy end of the season. Don’t know about anyone else’s club, but Bontempelli would need to have a broken leg before he’d get dropped in those circumstances.

Thankfully GWS aren’t locked into their head coach for the next few years........

Might sound mean, but he looks pretty dumb.

 

[Mazza1234678]

Seriously the deliberate out of bounds has become comical in this league

About 7-8 tonight that were horrendous

40 wrongs don't make a right.

 

[Toump Ass]

Good win Deez. Commiserations GWS.
I reckon that was exactly the kind of win the Deez needed to have. In a game where they mucked in for the whole four qtrs. Gutsy.

Not trying to be insulting or anything btw.

We've done the "gutsy win" a few times now, the issue is following it up. Wouldn't be too many Demons supporters surprised with a loss against Essendon.

Agree 100%. The Tigers are really good at exploiting this by scragging/holding/stepping over the mark pretty much every time (I don't blame them, they are just playing to how the games are umpired).

Don't disagree that it needs a crackdown, but they couldn't possibly have pulled that one up after all the ones they let go

Don’t really like seeing games decided by decisions anyway, and GWS didn’t earn it.

 

[wilsonmatic]

I've been trolling you heaps lately Melbourne but a good win 2nite.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Good win Dee's.

[Ron The Bear]

Melbourne 4 wins as outsiders, 3 losses as favourites
GWS 7 losses as favourites

Tipster's nightmare

 

[Redline]

That should of been a 50m penalty there at the end to GWS. The better team won though.

All of those pics are behind closed doors. Barking out instructions from the boundary line and running out on the field every time your team wins sends a message of a man not in control.
