Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 18 - North v Bombers Sun July 18th 12:35 EST (Metricon)

[Andronicus]

Well in 9 months time when we play you next it will be:

Cunnington, Anderson, Polec, Corr, Powell, Horne, Comben and hopefully Perez.

Maybe even Kelly.



My premise was actually that your premiership successes are largely based on chicanery rather than actually being better.

So the reference to colour TV, the national game, the last 50 years and being 120 years old weren't about recent vs past success? Right.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Then why is Zurhaar still on your list?

Cos he’s a legend - what prompted that response?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Okay. I wasn't very impressed with what I saw from your team today, the number of times we opened you up through the centre was embarrassing and if it wasn't for poor finishing in our forward 50 we probably would have been 20-25pts up at half time. Your play improved a little in the second half, but by then it was almost bruise free football with neither team playing inspiring football.

I can't see you being anything but cannon fodder for the top teams come finals. If you make it.

Very inconsistent of course. It’s an extremely young side. Second youngest in the league this week.

 

[RearNaked]

Never in doubt just warming up for our games against gws and Sydney

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Hence why your mob was shitting on him this entire thread

Still burns

Not really bud. It was a s**t act by a s**t bloke. Would have been OK if he went after an experienced player but he wouldn't do that.

This thread is largely s**t coming out of your mouth tbh

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Exactly what he should have been doing to get in the kids head with the game on the line.

Nah he's soft as s**t.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

It reflects really poorly in 2021, you just can't do that sort of stuff in this day and age. It's time for the AFL to do the right thing and reverse the result of today's game in apology for the actions of the past.

Going after a kid is not tough. Don't think many in here have played sport to a decent level to recognise that. Sledging kids is weak as piss.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Same old rubbish fights and posts every thread.

 

[Simpledon]

Worst thing about these game day threads is the losing sides "supporters " whinging about how the free kick differential affects the results of games. Can we put this to bed now. A 3 goal game won by a team with half the free kicks of the loser. The best side on the day usually wins regardless of "umpire influence".

 

[DapperDon]

Bombres fans celebrating scraping past bottom of the ladder norf. oh how the mediocre continue to... mediocre...

6132 and counting.

also sick burn.

You Hawkies are full of good ones lately!

 

[hirdylloydy1]

More talent than your mob. Add Cunnington alone and we win and you had all the favours. Like I said BOG average middle of the road team.

If your adding missing players, we could always add our 8-9 missing best 18.

Flat first half, nearly triple the frees for North, on our knees in terms of injuries, first year of a rebuild. Pretty happy where we are at

 

[DapperDon]

That incident reflects really badly on hooker and Essendon

This reaction reflects on the underbelly of North supporters

 

[DapperDon]

Cos he’s a legend - what prompted that response?

Your tears

 

[The Nostradamus]

Your tears

Tears?
We want pick 1
Thanks for assisting

 

[windyhill]

This is why people should have acknowledged last week that there were two putrid teams on display, not just one. And some persons on here think Essendon play attractive footy.

Come on mate, you kicked a club record score last week !

Unfortunately the best 2 are taken.

Dumb year to tank.

 

[Great8]

Unfortunately the best 2 are taken.

Dumb year to tank.

Horne is better than the other 2

bombers deserved to win, is often where the fees are given, bombers got two goals as a direct result. Anyhow doesn’t matter ESS were the better team

No worries mate

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Nah he's soft as sh*t.

Dont say that about your boy just cause he couldn’t cut it.

 

[Dave]

Our club culture dictates that we don't have any relatives of Jake on our list.

Wayne Carey and Kellie Stevens like this.

 

[Dave]

We need to talk about Tarryn Thomas.
Still only 21.
Been unbelievable the last month.
This is a very very serious player.

Was close to their best player against us last time too. Lad has some serious talent.

You can't be that daft.

We got rid of a bloke from our club - the captain - because he had poor morals.

You recruited one in, for doing arguably worse. Says a lot about club values.

 

[DapperDon]

Tullamarine is not in Essendon but Arden St is in North Melbourne. Yep youve relocated.

We don't play home games at Tulla

 

[Dave]

Bullshit. That was hardly the first time he'd done something morally questionable. It was just the highest profile. You're no better than any other club.
