Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 11 - Pies v Cats Sat May 29th 1:45pm EST (MCG)

I reckon with two more minutes Pies would've won that. Seriously.

 

[PieLebo87]

It's raining goals.

What a weird *ing game.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

imagine if they kicked 3 of those 7 behinds In the first half.

 

[Wojcinski]

I cant take geelong as a serious flag threat when they still put in performances like this. They rely on their very high quality top end all having a good day and if they dont, the depth just isn't there and they struggle. I cant see them playing 12 or 16 good quarters in finals to go all the way, which has been their problem the last few years.

bit hard when you're missing your best 3 midfielders wouldn't you say? Hasn't that been the Richmond line for the past couple of weeks?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Really looking forward to the pressers. Master coach Bucks won the tactical battle as he does every game.

Gerry Whately just said never before has a game deserved to be in front of no-one.

 

[ciaobella]

Jack Henry is a horrendous player

Coming from a Carlton supporter. Bloody hilarious!

 

[Wojcinski]

5 were rushed so not much a chance

Nathan Buckley Presser " i thought once our structures and patterns were in place we showed we can match it with the best"

 

[kickazz]

Before their mids got tired, I thought Geelong were way too arrogant in trying to show off how they could dominate the game defensively. (Out-boring the Pies if you will)

Just wouldn't have a dip at attacking.

Not would Collingwood until it was safely too large to win.

 

[Plugger35]

If only the Pies tried kicking goals earlier they might have won that game.

Like against Port last week they seemed to be too cautious and defensive for most of the game and left it too late to try to take the game on.

Have to question Buckley's coaching methods after those 2 performances.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That game was ******* awful

 

[Visions]

And so ends the worst game in the history of the AFL.

 

[SuperSteele22]

I'll take a 10 point loss after playing like that any day of the week. Wouldn't be too worried about Geelong if I were one of the competitions better sides

 

[Grockadoc]

Not sure why they keep rewarding Selwood for raising his arms as soon as his tackle to force a high tackle. Should simply be play on

Should only be counted as high if the initial contact is high. If the player getting tackled makes an action that forces contact high, it should be play on.

 

[kickazz]

What a very average game that was.

If by average you mean the worst game of the year, then yes you are right.

 

[theyellowsash]

bit hard when you're missing your best 3 midfielders wouldn't you say? Hasn't that been the Richmond line for the past couple of weeks?

Yeah, and noone thinks we are still a threat

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Really looking forward to the pressers. Master coach Bucks won the tactical battle as he does every game.

Gerry Whately just said never before has a game deserved to be in front of no-one.

Hocking's rules have made a horror show of the game, but since they advantage Geelong, you won't hear Whately calling for 'the look of the game' to be adjusted as he did through Richmond's era of dominance.

 

[Visions]

I hope both teams are embarrassed with themselves.

Collingwood have been embarrassing for a while now.

 

[Cool Kangas]

If by average you mean the worst game of the year, then yes you are right.

Hmmm, from a personal perspective Good Fri was worse.

Genius comment when all of Danger, Guthrie, Duncan, Blics, O'Connor and Miers are missing. We had literally no midfield today besides Selwood and young guys in Parfitt and Narkle. It's actually our depth that showed today, given we won despite those outs.

Apparently it's an excuse for you guys, but for us it's not.

 

[Tas]

Should only be counted as high if the initial contact is high. If the player getting tackled makes an action that forces contact high, it should be play on.

If they made that change, people would start a tackle around the shoulders then follow through with force knocking the bloke out.

5 were rushed so not much a chance

And imagine Geelong actually kicked straight. Would have been a 40 point half time lead.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Coming from a Carlton supporter. Bloody hilarious!

True. The Blue Roos would offer him $2.4M over 4 seasons.

 

[Bungeye]

A wins a win! is what they say seemingly after every Geelong match for the last 5 years

 

[Wojcinski]

this forum is funny, if you're belting teams early you're "going too hard, too soon" but when you're just getting the job done with a bunch of guys temporarily on the sidelines you're cooked
