Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 19 - Tigers v Freo Fri July 22nd 7:50pm EST (Marvel)

[Xtreme]

So three weeks in a row Richmond have cost themselves the win in the last 5 mins. Some kind of record, surely.

That's one threepeat they can own

 

[Rusty Brookes]

I attended the game with a Tigers supporting mate who was attending his first game in close to 20 years after moving to the US. I think he wished he missed the plane.

 

[RAPPA]

Balta, Bolton and Cumberland fantastically fluffed chances in the last 2 minutes. But let’s be honest, it’s the AFL’s fault for having them play at Marvel

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Meh, would we rather they fake an injury to a player?
The subs just need to become just that - a substitute to be used whenever for whatever reason.

We had that. And it sucked arse

 

[JackGinnivan2022]

Harsh to blame Cumberland even if he went back he’d have to kick it 56m that’s optimistic at best. Balta was the one.

BT Said he had a big left leg. He probably would’ve had the distance and he doesn’t need to worry about accuracy here.

 

[dean33]

He is a long kick. Would have scored at least. Poor kid probably thought he had a few seconds anyway. Unlucky.

Even if he thought he had a few seconds he had no awareness to realise he had a player ready to tackle him on his left. Young yes, but also dumb.

No they just matched their record of doing the exact same thing from 2017

 

[BigTacoBandit]

I don't know why.

But if you watch closely enough there's occasionally changes to the time after ad breaks when 7 adjust.

Seems amateurish

What sucked about it?
I know the media ranted and raved about it because they felt they were being misused but they were being misused equally by each team.

For all the cons it means when a player is KOd in the first half we still get to watch a more even contest because at least one team is not prematurely down to 3 on the bench.

Possibly I just find it hard to blame a bloke kicking from outside 50

BT says lots of things he loves the sound of his voice

 

[dean33]

That was hard to watch. What a cripple fight.

I'm confident we'll take care of both these teams in finals if we make it.

That actually made me giggle, kudos.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

I agree he does look the goods for sure, as does balta but still doesn’t excuse dumb footy repeated over and over again. I mean he passed it to aarts who did the same thing last week. Surely you’d learn from that?

We had a similar situation where Curnow took a mark near the QT siren and I think it was Fisher who ran over and literally grabbed him to stop him playing on. Clearly, Cumberland was not conscious of the time and Jack was - instead of screaming, why not run to him and block him to stop him playing on?

I just hate the backlash on him, it was the heat of the moment. Do we even know if he can kick 60m in a straight line over his opponents head with tired legs at the end of a game? Maybe he had to wheel around to even have an opportunity to score. Maybe, just maybe there was someone far more established in the side screaming for the ball in space inside 50 and he was trying to secure a far more high % shot?

Brain fade, yes - but the comments suggesting he’s no good or an idiot are dumb

Don’t think anyone has said he’s no good, kid looks extremely exciting and reckon we’ve found a player there for sure. Doesn’t hide the fact it was either a lack of awareness of the state of the game or just a lack of understanding in what to do in those situations. Had he needed a goal from there I would have had less of an issue as would have been very tough, but a point? Just go back and take your kick son, if he missed the lot no one would have bagged him as at least he gave himself and his team a shot.

 

[dean33]

2017 were close losses but not the calamity of errors like the last 3 weeks has been. You barely see a team lose like this once a year, to see it 3 weeks in a row? Unprecedented.

 

[Andronicus]

Nobody is blaming him for kicking from outside 50. They are blaming him for not kicking from outside 50.

You knew what he meant, this is exactly the kind of contribution you’d expect from a bloke with a neat bit of whisky as his PFP.

Imagine if that was a Swans kid who could have won the grand final, if not for the blunder!!

 

[Visions]

I can’t believe no one has mentioned it or maybe I’ve missed it, but when Balta was having the set shot, the umpire never blew the whistle for 15 gone, he was too busy clearing players out the side and just blew it to say hurry up then play on straight away. That’s why he took so long the usuals audible cues were not present

Watch it again. Umpire does give him the hurry up with about 5 seconds to go (always thought it was at 25 seconds and not 15 they did that).

Plus there is a big damn clock countdown on the scoreboard which every player can see themselves, and they use to milk the situation.

Balta had no one to blame but himself.

I don't know why.

But if you watch closely enough there's occasionally changes to the time after ad breaks when 7 adjust.

At the ground, with 5 minutes left in the quarter the boundary advertising boards are lit up with the “Kennedy timepiece” counting the clock down.

I always notice that is a few seconds out of whack with the TV clock.

Wouldn’t hold it against him. Be more disappointed with the big loaf Balta

That time should be either shown to all at all times, or, no countdown clock anywhere, not coaches box not benches and not on tv.
Either everyone has the official time.
Or. Noone does.

 

[PrinceCharles]

spot on. it's a whole new level of game sense and IQ in the nba.

They literally stop every minute to discuss things with the coach.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Great smother by Frederick

As funny as Richmond’s choke is, it’s a shame Frederick’s smother has been a bit lost in the washup. Incredible football instincts and execution.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Also a missed opportunity for a paper to use a “Noahs… f-ark!” headline.

 

[boncer34]

From the network that didn't broadcast in HD until 2016?

Nah no way.
