Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 23 - Dogs v Port Fri August 20th 7:50pm EST (Marvel)

[HTPunter]

Said it just before, absolute down hill skiier.
When dogs are up and about, he looks like a superstar, but when times are even slightly tougher, he turns to jelly.
No composure, no game sense, and absolute passenger

Perhaps not gone backwards, just that with some increased experience his flaws can't be excused as "just a young player".

U16s would know not to ping from the boundary from a long distance. Center it.

 

[Chattanooga]

You get away with it all season. Please.

One of the great myths.

18 teams in it but they look the other way for only one of them

 

[OnlyPowerForever]

If its a draw tomorrow night , port will go 3rd

No.

 

[Rod Stroker]

No it won’t. If they win by a margin less than 33% their percentage goes down, it up.
so 13 goals to 9, or 16 goals to 11, would be ok.

Nope. Lions are only 0.1% behind which is nothing.

Ken Hinkley needs to go!

To Victoria Park?

 

[Tim Evans Beard]

If its a draw tomorrow night , port will go 3rd

Huh?

 

[Carringbush2010]

Doesn’t make any sense at all, doesn’t seem up to being a solo ruck

Actually it does (even though it didn't work) the idea - seemingly - was to nullify Alir, one of their 'attack' weapons (sounds weird but watch how he sets up offences) and use Eng as a tall forward coz Noughts not firing and Bwuce injured.

If ever a team pinched a game its Port. Don't hold much confidence in them after tonight, the Dogs were just that fraction better than Port , which was shown throughout the game.
But it was a battle of attricion, weird game, and those few minutes at the last 5 or so minutes Port had the sway and clung on desperately, I really think the Dogs were much better over all on the night, but Port won.

I am sceptical about how far they will go in the finals, you couldn't be super confidant after that , looking the loser and pinching it.

Still they did it to us once just finished short of the win and we went on to a flag.

But I am curious to read what Port people think , I reckon the team losing for most of the night, won the match??

Does that worry you about next weeks finals. Although you may get a home final. Your skipper is a diamond , only for him you lose, that is not a good sign?

Which game were you watching?

 

[Satan]

No.

Nope. Lions are only 0.1% behind which is nothing.

Ladder with a Brisbane 10 point win

 

[srobbo]

Can someone explain Bont after qtr time??

 

[Izzy01]

How was Lewis Young’s handball called a throw? Throws never get paid these days and that one was clearly a handball.
that’s the decision that determined the game to me.

Haha. What about the throw to dunkely for the goal he kicked. Dogs are always throwing it, usually get away with it.

 

[WeMissYouMarkCoughlan]

15 to 23. There have been far more lopsided free kick counts than that.

So many blatant dropping the balls not called but the obvious one was the non-call on Marshall when he went up someone’s back and didn’t get within 5 metres of marking the ball. That was the easiest call an umpire can make and it was let go which lead to Wines kicking the goal that let the Power back into the game

 

[Chattanooga]

yeah missing the double chance after being top 2 for 20 rounds when u just have to win 1 out of last 3 games to secure it is choking hard...

You don't know what a choke is. You can't choke over three games.

Now Brisbane failing to make top 4 from here having it handed to them on a platter WOULD be a choke.

 

[Carringbush2010]

and the fact dogs fans don’t know it is not surprising

Bit harsh lol.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Looks like Bevo's streak of no top 4 finishes in the H&A season will continue.

 

[PrisonBars4life]

Credit to Razor. Only umpire who has the balls to call a free in that situation, even with the media pressure to "just let the boys play".

He's a ******* and he still makes mistakes, but he is one of the better umpires around.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Apologies for that dangerous tackle.

He did it against West Coast. Regardlrss others should have stood up and they haven’t.

 

[srobbo]

Sheesh you're going very early.

nah not at all. Dogs are shot & we beat them convincingly with Bruce 2 weeks ago….slow, indirect, no goal avenues….we’ll repeat the dose next weekend.

 

[brmi]

Don't know how we didn't lose that game by 6+ goals, probably because of Ports inaccuracy. Port all over us after 1/4 time.

Going to be hard to go all the way from here.

 

[Chattanooga]

Nope. Lions are only 0.1% behind which is nothing.

Nope. Have another go.

 

[Toump Ass]

How good is bigfooty going to be if Essendon break their finals drought eliminating a Bulldogs team that have been top 2 for all but three weeks of the season?

“Delicious!”

 

[Black Saab]

nah not at all. Dogs are shot & we beat them convincingly with Bruce 2 weeks ago….slow, indirect, no goal avenues….we’ll repeat the dose next weekend.

Yeah I get that but it's not the Bulldogs I'd be worried about, it's Essendon's ability to win on the big stage.

 

[Beerfish]

He did it against West Coast. Regardlrss others should have stood up and they haven’t.

Very true. Especially that mullet guy that missed that kick to English
