Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 1 - Pies v Dogs Fri March 19th 7:50pm AEDT (MCG)

[Chaisa]

Pretty ordinary game if I'm being honest.

Dogs midfield was pretty dominant but they really need to clean up when going forward. Yes the Pies did defend really well but I think they butchered quite a few opportunities as well, some of their decision making going forward needs work. Bruce in particular looks really short of confidence.

Without Moore Pies lose by 7-8 goals, I think. I think their strategy was OK but like the Dogs they butchered a number of opportunites going forward. Still they didn't look great and no real changes from last year.

Josh Kennedy says "Hi".

Errr that would be the opposite situation. Good try.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

You can tell the Collingwood players would prefer AT still at the Pies.

Ned Guy and their TTP book keeper should be fired on the spot

 

[Woody Woodman]

Pretty ordinary game compared to last night which was much better quality, the Pies were mostly awful and the Dogs still struggled to put them away.

The commentators love the new rules because the scoring is so much better.

 

[Woody Woodman]

Ok you only have to say it once

Nah, should be on high rotation!

 

[Farang83150]

Errr that would be the opposite situation. Good try.

Exactly, he'd have no premiership medal and would have spent his entire carrier loosing!

 

[JayJ20]

Macrae - 35 disposals
Smith - 35
Hunter - 31
Dunkley - 30
Bont - 29
Libba - 28
Daniel - 27
Williams - 27
Lipinski - 26

Pendlebury was Collingwood's highest with 25 disposals.

All for 69 points and a 16 point win. Dogs need more from their forwards.

 

[Outback Footy]

Classy touch when the Pies fans cheered Adz. Brought a tear to his dads eye by the looks. And his ex team mates classy too at the end. Nice.

Stef and English paired up well, worked Grundy over, that was a nice change for us. Bazlenka was everywhere, Josh Bruce

still needs to kick, our midfield makes up for weaknesses at both ends.

Good to see neither coach "activate" the sub.

 

[WillHayward]

Pies list mgr must have been a cocaine fiend.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Dogs were very good and if it wasn't for the Pies defence it would have been close to a 10 goal margin. It's too bad for them that everyone forward of halfback couldn't hit the side of a barn door most of the time and when they did they'd drop chest marks. I really enjoyed the first half but the second half was definitely of lower quality as Collingwood kept *ign up and the Dogs were playing tempo footy when they could.

Players forgetting the social distancing rules slapping hands with fans as they leave the ground

tisk tisk

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Bont looks like Dyson Heppel with the hair cut and beard

 

[WillHayward]

Ok we hear you that you hate the pies

Don't hate them.
Very confused at recent list management.

Not had a key fwd since Travis Cloke.

It's weird.

 

[Woody Woodman]

Errr that would be the opposite situation. Good try.

Nah, he has a Premiership. Treloar certainly didn't nominate Carlton but he did go to a side that played in a Grand Final. Try again.

 

[TaylorMade]

How long for bucks now that Eddie is gone?

 

[The Chimp]

Lots of errors in this game. Once both teams build skill/ fitness, they will be ok.

 

[ossie_21]

Lucky we won the free kick count by 4 (with two absolutely obvious ones in the last minute).

It was the obvious difference according to multiple low IQ posters on this board

Your turn this weekend.

 

[Desync]

Doggies were definitely the better team in the first half, was about even from then onwards though.

Collingwood's forward line is hugely lacking, Their defenders carried them pretty heavily.

I hate Collingwood as much as anyone but umpires 100% ****ed them quite a bit, Still the better team won in the end probably.
Pay back for the amazingly biased umpiring on Anzac day in 2019

 

[WillHayward]

Hey BUDDY look in the mirror same same

I think Buddy is somewhat better than Brodie...

I mean what kind of name is Brodie anyway?

 

[Bushnell90]

That margin flattered them. We are a far better team than Collingwood and the margin would reflect that if we had a competent coach who understood forward structure.

 

[Aardvark]

10 goals to 7. Glad the rule changes have increased the scoring. Channel 7 will need longer ad breaks.....

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Both teams with a non-existent forward line.

Dogs should've won that by 6-7 goals.

I wish Treloar well. I was a pretty harsh critic of him as a player, but from all accounts he's a top bloke, and it was bullshit the way we treated him and Stepho. Our whole salary cap situation is/was an embarrassing sh*tshow of epic proportions.

Honestly, I'd say us not finishing bottom 6 would be a win. We suck. Big time.

Love the avatar mate currently wearing a Razor Ramon t-shirt

 

[Herlag]

Margin flattered them.

If we had a competent coach who knew what forward structure was, the margin would reflect the true difference.

Bontempelli had a terrible game, but there was still daylight between the midfields.
