Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 7 - Cats v Magpies Thurs July 16th 8:10pm AEST (Optus) (Video highlights in OP)

[boondy]

How many games in WA for the Eagles so far? Be interesting to see what changes now that you're mob have returned home.

The Vic umps go with a crowd . The WA umps deliberately favour vic teams to keep their job.

 

[Davey33]

2 interstate teams on a thursday night? 22k is a sensational crowd.

Not considering people (including in WA) haven't been able to go to a game all year.
Apparently the low turnout was because ticket sales were paused due to political pressure in WA- that makes more sense

Woah Jordan Roughhead just put professional commentaries to shame.

Excellent work by him and the guys he interviewed.

 

[Tackle Bag]

If he wasn’t an elite footballer no way would he be allowed to leave the state on bail either.

Good point.
How is DeGoey allowed to leave the state?

I’m all for innocence until proven guilty but that seems to be unusual given he’s been charged.

 

[parano1a]

so that's the max the WA govt allowed in?

There was a cap of 30k Max, but also ticketing restrictions that only families could sit together so there had to be gaps in between rows and between groups I think.

 

[adammania9]

and a sexual fiend

Bet you didn't have that view on Majak before his hearing. De Goey paying the Collingwood tax as usual.

 

[West Coast 06]

Did you not read the last bit..."it must be a WA thing." How many games have the Eagles played at home this season??? Now let's see what happens with 17th on the free kick count for the rest of the season. How Collingwood got an armchair ride from the umps in WA tonight is exactly how it looks when watching the Eagles play at home.

Well I guess you aren’t talking about this season seems we haven’t played a game at home yet?

 

[Chinacats]

Collingwood pressure rating off the charts. 210- best all year. Cats timid going forward. Scared of Moore. Moore is becoming very influential when he is not even near the ball! AA Moore!

He can play "Chopsticks" on piano.

thanks

 

[srobbo]

DeGoey is not a star of the game. He's just an average fwd.

lol....he’d walk into Richmond’s fwd line & pick his position.

 

[Black white]

Good point.

Have a sook like Hardwick.

Pretty wet night too. If it was dry, I'd say an extra 10k at least.

 

[PhatBoy]

We were shit, Pies easily deserved to win. Baffling umpiring at times though. We somehow avoided a free early-ish when Miers should have been pinged, we copped a square up about 90 seconds later, but they kept coming.

we had no poise at all with ball in hand.

 

[masai]

De Goey will be up and about after the game. Ladies watch out.

Quarantined for another week.

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

As a neutral supporter I found A lot of those frees that went to Collingwood were completely innocuous and undeserving. They seemed to pay little frees in positions that helped Coll immensely when Geelong were going forward. The most smallest error by a geelong player would be paid but the largest error from a Coll player would be called play on. 21-7 is very bad.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Umpiring aside, some red flags for Geelong tonight. RE Hawkins and getting smashed in the ruck

Yeah trying to get tickets was not easy, didn't know price, I couldn't even find a way to buy tickets through the AFL site. Think they only went in sale Tuesday. There was also a bit of confusion about who could go.

There's still concern over here for Corona, some people aren't comfortable going to crowded events.

The weather has been horrid the last few days as well, plus it's a Thursday night with people working tomorrow.

The crowd is a brilliant turnout for footy.

Time for the Cats to stop trading to plug holes. Getting old, time to draft.

I think that’s the plan. Choc full of draft picks. Hopefully Wells can weave some magic.

Sorry. What was the issue with Hawkins?

 

[Seeds]

Collingwood's best player was Gryan. Without him, we would have lost. Hopefully he gets the 3 votes for this game.

I think you mean razor ray

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

No opponent twice, and no hitouts to advantage.

 

[OniAu]

How many years did geelong take Stevens for ? His career is really on a knifes edge

 

[Mile High Tiger]

Good point.

You can't seriously consider him a flight risk.

 

[Seeds]

Good game, prob the most enjoyable from a neutrals perspective this year. Pies clearly the better team & 4 goals abt the right margin in the end

Cats fans blaming the umps need to pull their heads in though. Had no bearing on the outcome whatsoever.

Pies got 4 goals from dodgy frees. Geelong missed 2. It had plenty of bearing. 4 frees geelong got were out on the fulls. Remove them and at one point it was 21 frees to 4.
