Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 20 - Freo v Demons Fri July 29th 8:10pm EST/ 6:10pm WST (OS)

Classic dive from Kosi there, hope danster168 bleats about it like he would any player from another team.

I've never denied Kozzie doesn't do it. He's no Weightman or Ginnivan though. They take it to whole new levels. At least Pickett can actually kick goals in general play.

 

[danster168]

Ginnivan wondering how the * that was a free. Absolutely played for it to avoid HTB.

HTB? he kicked the ball

Ginnivan gets hounded week in, week out, yet Oliver consistently flops like that and wins frees and the media doesn’t batter an eyelid.

The difference is that Oliver didn't video himself teaching team mates how to duck into tackles to get free kicks.

Who averages the most contested possessions of any player in AFL history?

Kennedy the clearance king

One for the stats fans ... Sydney Swans leader Josh Kennedy is about to become the outright all-time AFL leader in clearances and contested possessions.

Share the video that he recorded. Would love to see it.

Also, the video I saw he was doing it one on one as the tacklee with Jack Madgen, a 192cm defender, as the tackler. If you weren’t so biased against the Pies, you might see it as him training a defender on how to actually tackle without giving away a high free. Or it’s easier to just claim it as him teaching others how to duck…

The real Melbourne finally stood up again. Very good to watch at their best. Fremantle better hope it doesn’t rain in September

Something really needs to be done about the abuse from Fremantle supporters towards umpires. It has been completely vile for decades now.

I maintain that frederick is freos most dangerous player. tonight further confirmed that. Frederick is so much more damaging than Andy Brayshaw who gets a stack of uncontested marks in the back half.

Angus > Andrew.

Oliver as stated in the article, I was backing your claim.

only 3 clearances too. He has no hurt factor whatsoever. He's an Ollie Wines clone. Yes, he won a Brownlow but he's just a good above average player with high work ethic. avg skills.

you’re a moron…an unmitigated arse hat.

you think Frederick had a better game. There’s no helping you.

Right, my bad

He did. He scored 40% of your goals. Brayshaw was a part of the freo midfield that got absolutely spanked all night. I'd take Andy at the dees but he's comfortably behind Oliver, Petracca and Viney taught him a lesson tonight on the hard ball. So where would be play, wing?

 

[Rod Stroker]

They never had a chance, those jumpers are hideous!

 

[mrmonkey]

They lost to the Bulldogs by 20pts last year, then went on to win their next four before steamrolling the finals. I can’t be certain they’ll win it again but I’ve been saying for a while that I think Melbourne have been pacing themselves.

I'm not so sure about that, perhaps earlier in the year when we had a softer draw we were just banking the wins but I think the loss we've had after round 10 we've been in poor form. Good to see that we got our defensive game back while also ticking the scoreboard over, best win the season hopefully maintain that form against Collingwood

 

[Tristan34]

Can't wait to see what Freo are going to lose...
For the 7 hitout, 1 mark, ruck beast in Luke Jackson...

When Gawn was out he stood up... They do have the best ruckman in the comp. He is also a very young ruckman and most his age don't get a game for a while...

 

[freddy mercury]

The difference is that Oliver didn't video himself teaching team mates how to duck into tackles to get free kicks.

Or just video himself being a flog on Tiktok

Freo last night weren’t much of a measure. Too early to say you’re back.

810 start? West Australians are quite selfish no?

Selfish is locking the GF into the MCG for about 70 years

Oliver gets held at virtually every stoppage, he doesn’t get a free kick that way so tries it on in other ways to earn it.

Ginnivan just ducks his head and your coach constantly finds reasons for it not giving a rip about potential head injury or the fact he just cheats.

 

[demondavey]

Oliver you diving prick. Will never change.

Can’t be worse than Weightman

Don’t get me wrong, Oliver is a superstar, and I love watching him play. Ginnivan isn’t fit to tie Oliver’s shoelace.

It’s true though that he does flop often to win a free (something I’m actually fine with if the umpire is gullible to pay it). My qualm is the way the media bash on about Ginnivan yet no one batters an eyelid when Oliver does those acts to also get cheapies. Double standards or media just like to harp on about Ginnivan and the whole head high flavour of the year BS.
