Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 23 - Cats v Eagles Sat August 20th 4:35pm EST (GMHBA)

[MC Extra Dollop]

He's playing on Barass who's better than Stewart

Yeah no disrespect to Barrass, this is over many years. It's why he's never kicked a massive J Riewoldt, Kennedy, Franklin bag.

 

[Dockernut]

C’mon Catters. We’ve all come for the 100 point win.

 

[Scotland]

It’s one of those games where the natural class gap is providing a margin but the timing is all off.

Like watching a good cricket side play a minnow and winning by 7 wickets but getting all the runs in 1s and 2s

Well that goal to Stengle I'm calling 5 wides.

 

[PhatBoy]

That was better footy.

 

[PhatBoy]

Well that goal to Stengle I'm calling 5 wides.

I’m sorry mate this would be hard to watch. Next year will be better

 

[Hoops]

It's those little things Hawkins does that the "but goals" nuffs dont see.

 

[The 747]

He's playing on Barass who's better than Stewart

At what? One is a key defender, the other is a half back.

 

[Scotland]

I sincerely hope the AA selectors don't make decisions based on who kicks goals vs 17th in Rd 23.

 

[The 747]

A few pretty ordinary defensive efforts from the Eagles this quarter.

 

[PhatBoy]

Not that he’d give a s**t given what they’re playing for tomorrow but Curnow would breathe a sigh of relief

 

[Fitzey]

I sincerely hope the AA selectors don't make decisions based on who kicks goals vs 17th in Rd 23.

Danger will probably get a blazer because he has had 22 disposals and butchered the ball all night.

 

[Wojcinski]

I sincerely hope the AA selectors don't make decisions based on who kicks goals vs 17th in Rd 23.

Don't worry, Hawkins has been a lock for weeks now. Stengle was probably always getting in the 40-man and missing out on the main squad

 

[biggiemediums]

Geelong currently at 144.2%.

Powerful team.

Stengle is no chance if they can find a midfielder who kicked 8 goals for the season.

 

[Scotland]

Does anyone know if Dangerfield has kicked a goal today?

 

[bzparkes]

Just rename this thread 'bzparkes just sooking about everything' because there is nothing else going on in here

All I saw were Geelong supporters crying over the umpiring though?

I dunno mate, I opened the thread and scrolled pretty quickly and just saw your name

 

[Wosh]

Thank * for that.

 

[Wosh]

Good luck to everyone playing finals this year!

 

[Scotland]

Geelong currently at 144.2%.

Powerful team.

+112 North
+85 WC
+60 North
+60 GC
+53 GWS
+45 St Kilda
+42 Adelaide

It's an enviable record (they are top after all) but they aren't dominant over their contemporaries.

Melb +28
Freo -3
Syd -30
Bris +10
Coll +13
Rich +3
Carl +30 / WB +13, +28

As is the case every year how you get there doesn't matter. Real stuff starts in 2 weeks. Off to Bali for us.

 

[BFew]

Ok. I'm officially a Docker and Sydney Supporter for the rest of the season.

Relieved that the Eagles woeful season is over and that they limited the loss today to <100 points.

Hopefully the Eagles can get off their L plates sometimes next year, and move to their W plates.

North Melbourne away at the MCG in the first Round of the 2023 season might be their best chance of Eagles winning in Round 1.

Try reading the preceding 2 pages of whinging, after Rioli got pinged 'too far' running 11 steps yet Stengle runs 30m and no issue.

This was also after the endless ducking not getting paid free kicks and the crowd going nuts.

ah yes so I was right in my assumption, good luck for next season. Hopefully things are brighter in 2023 for the Eagles

Doubtful but the effort since the bye has been encouraging.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Yep has been a while. For a more recent example an easy dead rubber against the Lions in 2018 had the Eagles in good enough shape for finals.

I'm very sure we had to win that to finish top 4
