Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 16 - Suns v Pies Sat July 2nd 7:25pm EST (Metricon)

[deck]

Nothing more predictable than a game day thread on bigfooty blaming umpires on why x team won and y team lost a close game.

Gold Coast has improved a lot dew does deserve a extension

 

[Chaisa]

I get the excitement around the Suns which is what you would expect with so many high picks but their should be more heat on them for not playing finals yet again.

I don't see why Dew should get an extension after five years in the job

I’ll put another question to you - did you expect the Suns to even have a chance to play finals at the start of the year?

And the record of clubs that give coaches who look like they’re doing OK but maybe could be doing better the arse for a coach with an elite reputation isn’t great. For every Lyon replacing Harvey you get a Malthouse replacing Ratten. And if the Suns get it wrong they could fold…..

Six In A Row !!


….. and Norf next week at the G.

 

[nahnah]

Lol what does that have to do with anything. Are you agreeing that free kick numbers are what determines umpire influence?

No just wanted to mention how much help the bluesers get

 

[raskolnikov]

* you vfl

The AFL want Collingwood in the finals for revenue purposes.

Next year they'll be powerless against the juggernaut that is the Suns.

Queenslander!!

I dont think we will go 22-0 next year but I’m struggling to see who will beat us

Help? That's cute. You understand teams that are first to the ball often get rewarded with free kicks. Blues lead the comp in disposals and are up there for contested possessions (3rd). It's also why Dogs are always up there for free kick differential. The stat is meaningless.

We got lucky in the final 5 mins, a small slice of redemption from the years of abuse from the green campaigners

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The Suns had a three goal lead with 10 minutes left in a low scoring game. They should've held on but went too defensive when they had all the play. They win, they're in the finals mix but tonight proved they're still a year away. Still on the right track though.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Bet no one was complaining about umpiring in the first 3 quarters.

The unbeatable reigning premier blues will beat you

They have a fair few injuries and still doing relatively well.

 

[VinnieB]

It was fine until that play where 3 in a row were ignored and then they pay the bullshit one.

Idiot alert....

The simple only remember the last 5 minutes.

 

[Fitzey]

Daicos 37 could be the cheapest ever recorded.

Yes, I did and have in some previous years. I just think they have underachieved. At some point you have to be judged by results.

You are right that there are huge risks getting a replacement coach. I guess he will get a 6th amd 7th year but I'd be making the 7th year dependent on playing finals.

 

[Chronz]

Nick Daicos. Just unbelievable for a 15 gamer. What a ******* gem of a player!

 

[parano1a]

Daicos 37 could be the cheapest ever recorded.

Didn't see Clayton Oliver on Queen's Birthday?

 

[Fitzey]

Didn't see Clayton Oliver on Queen's Birthday?

He doesn’t take kick ins and get pointless 1-2’s, he’s also the best player in the game at the moment champion

 

[carlton_99]

Plenty of cheap players in the AFL... Oliver is not one. Works like a dog

 

[VinnieB]

They pay the Collins one that was knocked out, but Daicos just before the siren gets the ball, runs 4-5 syeps, gets tackled, drops the ball and misses his foot and no call. Just purely bizzare.

I thought it was disappointing when Henry was blatantly pushed in the back (with 2 hands) 20m out from goal.
But that's the game. Some get called and some don't. No point in crying over it. Happens each week and will continue to happen each week.

It's sad that people get worked up over umpiring decisions not being called in their favour each week.
And what about the losers who say they don't go to the football anymore because of the umpires?? Staggering.

Do you go to the football?

 

[TW Sherrin]

Robbie Flower would like a word.

 

[nahnah]

Brayshaw then

 

[VinnieB]

Daicos 37 could be the cheapest ever recorded.

2nd most score involvements (7), 2 goal assists, most metres gained.
You obviously didn't watch the game.
