Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 8 - Crows v Bombers Sun July 26th 1:05pm AEST (AO) Match Highlights in OP

[Hollow Knight]

There needs to be a premiership points tribunal that meets at the end of each round to halve the points given for a performance like that.

Criminal that a team can walk away from that with 4 points.

It’s the footy equivalent of people who were working one 6 hour shift a week as a barista getting 1500 a fortnight job keeper.

Brilliant performance from the bombers? Best pressure of the year? Is David king for real? They are in big big trouble if they think this is a good performance. Lucky to win in the end

Got to agree. Big dose of reality coming in the next few weeks

 

[Boristown]

How's the mental gymnastics from these commentators trying to convince us Essendon are any good.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Essendon are still a BO side that will have pretty much no impact in the finals.

 

[HirdyLannister]

We're a bad footy team and sitting on 5-2 LOL

Too many beers for Kingy

 

[boncer34]

We're junk. Absolute trash.

Kissed on the dick by the umpires.

 

[Shadow89]

That Aaron Francis decision was an absolute howler if I've ever seen one. Not only was it not a free kick, it was also a free kick missed for the oppo. Probably the worst call of the year for mine.

 

[Call Me Cake]

I think it's more of a case that it's Adelaide and Essendon, one is extremely sh*t and the other one is sh*t but has wins over sh*t teams outside of one win against Collingwood.

Top 4 with a game in hand against your rabble. Players yet to come in before then. We'll pummel your mob when we meet so I suggest you pipe down a little.

 

[Substance]

If the crows don't win next week, they should fold

 

[Oscarman]

If they are a top 4 team the competition must be a very poor one.

 

[Ambrosia]

How was it a free kick against him? They didn’t pay holding the ball all day

 

[smasha]

Media love going down on the Bombers to troll their grand final,Richmond.

 

[Bungeye]

One of the games of the season! Lots of ball in motion with loads of pressure! I would rather watch this match than your typical risk adverse stop start football.

 

[Blues_Man]

Umpires were vital in getting the struggling bombers over the line..essendon are pretenders

 

[Ducky Tie]

What on earth is Kingy banging on about. That was not a great win.

 

[Dez!]

Outside of Collingwood you've beaten crap, you won't pummel anybody if today is anything to go by.

 

[Rod Stroker]

LOL!
You ain't "pummelling" any one.
Just scraped home against 18th.
Same against 17th.

Admirable performance by Essendon getting over the bottom side by less than a goal.

 

[windyhill]

Hooker isn't a loss v Crows. Hurley can cover Walker, not like Himmelberg will hurt. Ridley, Saad, McKenna is still a solid backline.

Shiel and Heppell hurt midfield depth against a decent midfield with midfielders that have hurt factor. Think Merrett, McGrath, Smith, Zaharakis if he rotates through can have the speed to cover Crouch x2, Jones and Keays.

The forward line without Daniher and Stringer is probably the most exposed but if the defense plays like expected 7 goals might be enough for Essendon to win. Crows only averaging 43 points this year and Essendons defence is strong on paper. So Tippa, McKernan, Laverde should offer enough.

Mate !!

 

[Shadow89]

How was it a free kick against him? They didn’t pay holding the ball all day

He literally dropped the ball when he was tackled, lol. If they're not paying it, then it certainly shouldn't have been paid the other way for a non-existent high tackle/holding the man, or whatever the hell it was for, lol.

You shouldn't have won that game, which is an indictment on where you guys are at, as Adelaide have a team full of reserves players and mental issues up the ying yang, right now.

 

[RudyBlue]

I thought so too, but seriously who will they beat? I just can't see it happening.

Us Saints and Blue supporters should know that it always happens

 

[projectv]

North vs Adelaide next week is going to be game of the round for all the wrong reasons.

 

[boncer34]

We're 5th.

 

[smasha]

Lynch has to get the acting out of his game and take the game on more.

Crows really kicked themselves out of the game like us.

Intensity was good though from both sides.
