Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 8 - Lions v Eagles Sat May 7th 7:25pm EST (Gabba)

30 years of embarrassment and failure

It's that your prognosis for the eagles going forward?

 

[The 747]

This is playing out very strangely. You’d expect the lions to beat virtually anyone except for the top few teams by 5-6 goals at home yet this WAFL team are only a handful of goals down.

It doesn’t matter much in the long run maybe, but I wouldn’t be that happy if I was Fagan.

12 goals

No that’s your history and culture

The eagles will bounce back

s**t game, shitter umpiring

Combining Eleni's absolutely ball tearing incompetence with the 'don't remonstrate' rule is something a CIA interrogator would dream up to mentally break detainees at guantanomo bay.

Brisbane were very well looked after

Hahaha I'm not sure that you should be bringing up club culture. ...just sayin'

Bet you didn't type that with a straight face.

Barely get out of second gear and still win by 75.

Lions #2 with a bullet baby

Well, #3 after tomorrow.

Just to put into perspective how ridiculous this game was.

Jones - 28 games
Naish - 16 games
Edwards - 16 games
Foley - 13 games
West - 9 games
Winder - 1 game
Jamieson - 1 game
Mountford - 1 game
Florenca - 0 games

With a first game coach. You had a guy who has never rucked before at any level trying to deliver service to a rover who had to ask his boss for a day off so he could travel to brisbane for the game.

On top of that, what is killing west coast at the moment is the horrible lack of continuity in the sides it is fielding- west coast have 2 players who have played every game this year, the next least is Carlton (7) and no other team in the competition has more than 10.

In the long term covid is probably a pretty good thing for west coast because its turned what would otherwise be a fairly middle of the road season into a guaranteed top 5 draft pick year, but its just an absurd state of affairs for teams in contender mode..anyone who cops west coast at the moment is guaranteed 4 pts and insane percentage.

Maybe take a look at your S+C team. Fremantle had more players out with Covid.

That's because WC are the team that gives up before the opening bounce when things aren't going their way. The less experienced players tend to more competitive than the veterans based on the past year and a bit of football.

Well, #3 after tomorrow.

Depends on how much Melbourne win by

Any win will see them take top spot.
