Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 16 - Tigers v Eagles Sun July 3rd 2:10pm EST (MCG)

[HairyO]

Jack was off then but Ryan didnt wait for the umpire to call it.

 

[Sleutheren]

Such a s**t rule

 

[WillHayward]

Eagles very unlucky.
Should be ahead.
Tigers tinny.

 

[HairyO]

Such a s**t rule

That is what the rule was brought in for over a decade ago.

The recent fiddlings over the last year or 3 werent anything to do with that.

He jumped the umpire calling it.

 

[Bluelegs]

Eagles right in this, but need to stop giving Richmond easy intercept marks. Killing them.

 

[juss]

We need to lift a bit, Eagles hitting too many kicks where we are caught 10m off them. Tighten up a bit on defence and we will force some turnovers and get on top.

 

[mrmonkey]

s**t rule, Ryan just following his man, only problem was out of reflex he stopped as Riewoldt went to play on.

 

[SSwans2011]

Not sure why Eagles are persisting with Williams. I know the cupboard is pretty bare, but I liked what Dixon was offering more than what I've seen from him personally.

 

[Scotland]

If they applied that 50m penalty rule consistently Waterman would've had a shot from the goal square earlier.

 

[SSwans2011]

In general I agree the stand rule has been farcical, but I don't have any problem with the 50 against Ryan.

Rule would actually be fine if those ones were the only ones paid IMHO. Problem is they are often not paid, with McGovern being called to play on and then tackled by Petracca who was about a metre away a little earlier in the season being an example that springs to mind.

 

[srobbo]

Dimma giving eagles a leg up keeping gibcus on darling. Not sure why you wouldn’t play Tarrant or Grimes on him, given he’s their only key forward. He’s getting a hold of the kid early doors.

 

[Bluelegs]

Nice goal from Nic Nat.

 

[Scotland]

We probably won't win this one and it doesn't really matter anyway, but * it's nice to see us actually playing properly again.

 

[aussierulesrules]

That’s not HTB. Tackled immediately he took possession and the ball quickly fell loose in the tackle.

Really hate how they’re interpreting that now. He had no prior op at all.

 

[Bluelegs]

Man, Eagles aren't playing too badly but their mistakes are absolutely killing them.

 

[biggiemediums]

Crazy season.

Round 16 and there is usually 4-5 teams that are basically guaranteed wins; but as of now is there's only one in North.

Now that I've said that, watch North beat us next week.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Umpires reaming us at the moment.

 

[Smeg Head]

AFL really wants Richmond in the finals dont they

 

[Looney]

One way umpiring

 

[Scotland]

Not sure why Eagles are persisting with Williams. I know the cupboard is pretty bare, but I liked what Dixon was offering more than what I've seen from him personally.

Dixon is not up to it as a ruckman. He was handy earlier in the year around the ground. I'm not sold on Williams but he is improving. He's only played 19 games which is nothing for a tall.

 

[Bluelegs]

Martin looking good today.

 

[juss]

Martin looking good today.

His best half in a long while.

 

[Bluelegs]

Sting starting to go out of this one.

 

[mrmonkey]

West Coast needed to kill that ball.

 

[SSwans2011]

Eagles look a lot better, but they still don't seem to have much interest in defending.
