Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 18 - Demons v Hawks Sat July 17th 7:25pm EST (MCG)

[DrPowellPepper]

Forced to take risks now and we look even worse

 

[Bungeye]

This has been a high quality Auskick game!

 

[NonPhixion]

One of those games where you recognise the importance of a good coach

 

[Upgrayedd]

Why are Melbourne in the top 8?

 

[Chaisa]

Can we say Melbourne aren't actually the best team in the comp now?

They're still probably the best team against those that will likely do damage this year. But if they can get outplayed by the worst, then it probably isn't a great sign about how they'll go against the elite.

Similar to the Swans 5 or 6 weeks ago.

was still on Melbourne's list. Had a few injuries over the years.

 

[Scotland]

If this keeps up Melbourne would drop to third, Hawthorn could rise to 16th after tomorrow.

Surely sanity will prevail.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Vandenberg has looked off the pace tonight

 

[Lampers]

I want Melbourne to win the flag. The w***ers in this forum are making me question that.

You’re right, there are lots of w**kers on this thread.

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

Why are Melbourne in the top 8?

Typically we handball to teammates on the full and run with the ball, rather then tonight’s daring tactic of handballing to a teammates feet and that player tries to juggle it like a clown.

I’m not suggesting I know better then an AFL coach but I would prefer if the Dees stopped the above and went back to our clean style of game.

If Hawthorn lose they could drop to 18th by tomorrow.

We do that.

Can confirm tactic is poor. Don't try again.

Exactly. Eyes on the prize!

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

* football is a cruel game.

 

[Chaisa]

Similar to the Swans 5 or 6 weeks ago.

Yeah. I actually think our best is honestly better than Melbourne's, but our worst is much much worse. And I think our problems against the weaker teams are more "unable to think of a great Plan B" whereas Melbourne's seems linked to intensity.

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

Vandenberg has looked off the pace tonight

Vanders has looked off the pace for 2 and a half years.

 

[Black Saab]

Damn, haven't been watching the game, tuned back in and Melbourne have just hit the front. What happened!!??

 

[Xtreme]

Melbourne's back in front ?

HORNE IS STILL IN PLAY I REPEAT, HORNE IS STILL IN PLAY!!!

 

[Scotland]

Hawthorn to finish last then bid on Daicos at pick 1 after Clarko joins Collingwood.

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

We do that.

Can confirm tactic is poor. Don't try again.

Goody is probably copying your mob. He isn’t known as an innovator. You beat us in a prelim so it makes sense he would want to emulate the Eagles.

 

[Go the Guts]

Cmon Hawks!! I’m getting a massive Horne!

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Lewis been the best of the 3 tall forwards, has got better as the game has gone on, will better for the run

 

[Back One Out]

Well done Macca

Saved a goal with that stretch
