Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 6 - Cats v Lions Thurs July 9th (Cats 11.7.73 d Lions 6.10.46)

[STPer18]

Ablett, Selwood and Dangerfield combined for a total of 2 frees for, 7 frees against. They've got the umps fooled - pack of cheats.

 

[Whiskers]

The Lions seemed immune to Clarko's new holding the ball rule didn't they? Poor Parfitt got pinged twice for being the only bloke willing to put his head over the ball - he'll learn from it.

Xtreme’s hatred impresses me.
I can taste the tears from here.

No tears or hatred here just dropping pipebombs

The reason is clarkson.

Its a slippery game and the umps are pinging every holding the ball imaginable with no prior.

The interpretation needed a slight tweak instead they have changed it completely. Some of the HTB decisions now paid where a player picks up the ball and they are tackled straight away goes against everything we want in the game. Players will soon not pick up the ball and instead just tap it forward or kick it off the ground to prevent a free getting paid against them. And this is coming from a tiger fan where the new interpretation actually helps us with the way we play.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Geelong are Dad's Army and youngsters. They will run out of gas in finals against a team with more players in peak age range (again).

Maybe not with only 17 rounds and shorter quarters. The byes / week off are still the biggest issue.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Not a geelong fan so don't really care but ablett even though he never puts his body on the line gets a game based on his reputation and delivers most of the time whereas jack steven getting a game for the same reason was wrong and it just shows how much better it was having sam simpson in there instead of steven

Ablett doesn't get games on reputation he gets them on contribution. I agree with you on him putting his body in, it just looks to me like he doesn't trust his shoulder at all. One more bump at the wrong angle, a tackle where he might have to stretch awkwardly and his career is done.

he still tackles well enough.

we were under the pump last night and scraping together 3 goals was all that kept us in it. Ablett kicked one of them and set the other two up.
then for good measure kicked another as we were starting to take control.

if that is what it looks like to get a game on reputation, we can pick his dad too for all I care

Yep, absolutely no argument from me on his output, ever.

He is not that style of player. And you need players that are more about skill - just ask Dee supporters. How often does Pendlebury put his body on the line?

 

[PCORF]

The experienced Geelong really exposed Brisbane last night so not surprised about this result. Could be a possible GF preview.

I think it's more to do with losing an edge of breakaway pace. He is still an excellent user of the ball but seems to need a fraction more time and space than most players now.

yep

he measures the body movement and places the ball onto his boot. No wonder he is a cut above when it comes to skill.

but that extra time he once had, because of the break away pace is no longer there. He still has a role to play and could go on another couple of years if he wanted to.

It’s offset by his cleanliness with the ball though. There were a few exchanges last night where a player with more pace but a regular skill level wouldn’t have been able to take possession to use that pace

 

[Seeds]

Calm down Seeds.

During the second quarter in the Geelong boards game thread all the Geelong posters were bagging out the team and Scott relentlessly.

Oh i still bag out scott. This was about ablett and the other about danger.

If the hawk mids were dealt a raw deal like that clarkson would be whinging across the media.

They'd have to be first to the ball for a change though. Clarko's new rules are really shitcanning ball players.

 

[The Casey Cat]

How did Geelong lose to Carlton at home...

Fair question. We still have problems with inconsistency within games. Could have been too far behind here if the Lions were deadly accurate too.

 

[TigerMoz1973]

How is sooking about frees cheating?

The cheating is about how they milk free kicks as often as possible. Selwood and Dangerfield are particularly guilty of this. Evidence? Go to the prelim last year at the end of the second quarter. Dangerfield academy award. Also Selwood trying to claim a free kick for deliberate out of bounds when it clearly wasn't deliberate and the umpire didn't pay it that way either. This method does occasionally sway the umpires though and it's bloody annoying. Just like Selwood ducking for free kicks

Selwood, danger and ablett had 2 frees for and 7 against last night.

If they are trying to cheat they are comically terrible at it.

 

[Strange Cat]

Geelong are gonna get smashed tonight

Worked out well

 

[Strange Cat]

I really hope this doesn't just become a bash Brisbane thread. Geelong have played the best 25-30 minutes of footy by any team all season.

They've been amazing and should get all the credits.

Why not? It was a Geelong bash well before the third qtr

 

[Toffee Lion]

Why not? It was a Geelong bash well before the third qtr

Yeah sorry, that's totally my fault. Thanks for quoting! I'll be sure to go back and let everyone know they were naughty naughty.

 

[Strange Cat]

I’m fine with Brisbane showing they aren’t genuine contenders, I want them to prove they are ready before I get behind the hype. Does any team cry for free kicks like Geelong?

I guess you didn’t watch the first half then when Bris were on the recieving end of some very dubious calls

still try and use the umpiring as an excuse for 9 goals kicked on you in the third qtr

Shhhhh don’t bring facts into this thread

So how many frees did Joel get again? Conpaired to how many frees against?

come on I’m sure the stats can back upthe drivel you wrote out???
