Autopsy AFL 2021 ROUND 12 - Swans v Saints Sat June 5th 1:45pm EST (SCG)

[SSwans2011]

Higgins was doing it for all his shots imo.

But sh*t happens and players miss.

Can't fault his effort today at lesst. Thought the Saints generally showed much improved effort today - just the conversion let you guys down. Granted, we were in the same boat there. Weird game.

It was a game of momentum, both sides had it but neither could put the other side away.

At least it was not a crap game though

 

[BFVirgin]

Reading some quality melts here.
I summarise; Swans won by more than one goal and kicked more points also.

Yeah, liked that both teams attacked all day. Looking forward to the reverse fixture.

...and a good supply of performance enhancing drugs - must be a package deal!

Hyuck hyuck.

Welcome to 8 years ago.

Hyuck hyuck.

Welcome to 8 years ago.

Astonishing lack of self-awareness whinging about someone else living in the past

 

[Freomaniac]

Crouch 38 touches (@79% efficiency), 14 contested, 7 clearances, 6 tackles.

Steele 31 touches (@81% efficiency), 16 contested, 9 tackles, 7 intercept possessions, 8 clearances, 1 goal.

Top two ranked players on the ground.

brad hill?

 

[Freomaniac]

Higgins hardly ever missed at Richmond and now he has the yips.

I don't know who our goalkicking coach is but whoever it is should be sacked.

I'd be giving Lloyd a call, he's the best gpalkicker I've seen apart from Lockett and Dunstall and I don't think they'd be available.

so you are not blaming the umpires? lol

 

[Freomaniac]

Saints fans are whinging about Lyon and Brown criticising King throughout the game. Maybe, just maybe, the 2 blokes with hundreds of games and multiple All Australians and flags between them playing the same role as King *might* have a fair idea about where he's at with his footy.

But nah, keep screaming into the void and cream over that time he took some marks against Geelong

Ross Lyon? Are they still sinking the boots in after 10 years since he was at the saints?

Well your reference was to a past incident, mine was to an ongoing one.....

Dig up stupid.

 

[momentbymoment]

The Swans got a get of jail free card today like Geelong got when they played us, bad umpiring and our bad goalkicking gifted them a win.

They should just take the 4 points and stfu.

The Fosbury’s played well but a little too much flopping for my liking.

 

[Boristown]

Ross Lyon? Are they still sinking the boots in after 10 years since he was at the saints?

Garry.

 

[aussierulesrules]

brad hill?

Had 18 disposals @100% efficiency in the first half. They might have sat someone on him after that.

Ended up with 25, @88% efficiency, 539m-gained and 9 score involvements.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Don't forget Geary in the last as well.

Yeah dislocated his shoulder. Turns out King also injured his back during the week and then re-injured it at half time as well. Don’t think Clark was fit today either.

We’re down to the skeleton crew.

Saints played poorly but were given a chance thanks to some head scratching umpiring.
Sydney played poorly but were lucky to be playing St Kilda

 

[Rubber Snake]

Too many blokes involved from other clubs, for example does any Saint supporter believe Jarred Roughead gives a flying about anything other than a wage ? No he doesn’t !

 

[SSwans2011]

Dig up stupid.

You're not wrong. The Essendon victim complex is an ongoing incident.

 

[Number37]

POTY
Shame it’s buried in a game day thread cos that is gold

Was a headline on afl.com too. But they've taken it down.

Good. Thought it was pretty mean-spirited to run that as a headline.

The AFL displaying its impeccable judgement once again.

I bet you’re the type to DM players being a campaigner.

yep its those bloody umpires lol

 

[Freomaniac]

Imagine what it feels like to actually follow them…….

That Seb Ross miss just summed up the whole year for me.

thats alright just let your kid follow freo lol

 

[Boristown]

I bet you’re the type to DM players being a campaigner.

Nah, I'm exclusive to BigFooty.

Hope you're ok though, trawling through the match day thread at almost 1am to reply to neutral opposition supporters can't be good for you...feel sorry for Saints supporters sometimes.

 

[ExYarraValley]

Bit of luck with the umpires StKilda win. The free and goal to Franklin when he took Webster’s legs out was laughable. The final free and goal was just deplorable.
