Autopsy AFL 2023 First Qualifying Final - Pies v Demons Thurs Sept 7th 7:20pm EST (MCG)

[ChristianBoy]

More midfield/stoppage time for McReery, Elliot, JD, to name 3.

Oh yeah fantastic.

 

[No SPIN]

Oh yeah fantastic.

Sorry our depth, embarrassed you.

 

[ChristianBoy]

Sorry our depth, embarrassed you.

Rattling off random names does not equal one of your best mids.

 

[OniAu]

why so confident? You scraped over the line against as a team with no forward line, 1 player down and had to rely on us losing the game with missed shots instead of you guys winning it. You'll lose the prelim convincingly if you dish that up.

Youll be out next week if you dish up what you did next week.

Start calling you Caroline Wozniacki, always going out in straight sets

Do you know the definition of depth?

 

[OniAu]

What is an example of that having worked in the past? Come on… so share…

Anthony Rocca 2003
Jason Cloke 2002

 

[OniAu]

Does Langdon think Collingwwod are a one trick pony still?

I would like to know what his trick is, letting Sidebottom dominate the 1st half really helped us to win the game, great trick Ed.

That was an obvious bath and a half. Langdon was getting towelled up by a veteran finals player

 

[OniAu]

Good luck to pies, hope they win the flag, but if Maynard doesn’t at-least miss the Prelim the competition is a joke with some of the stuff players have missed weeks for this year

Gary Rohan definitely deserved more

Outscored you for 3 QTR’s - it’s embarrassing that you feel unlucky having only had the edge in 1 QTR.
You had almost 17 minutes in the last QTR to score 13 points to win and couldn’t do.
Junk I50’s ALL season has been your issue just like last night.

Let’s add back gettable goals ie I30 metres - do that and we win by more.

Anything else?

We are missing Naicos , so that hardly slides that you missed Brayshaw, he was subbed straight away anyway

Bad skills is bad football sorry to say.

Still think the AFL missed an opportunity with the crowd by playing it on Thursday. Only 92k. Anzac Day got almost 95k. Still think if they played it on Saturday at 3:20 and the weather was good they'd have got 99 or 100k

 

[ChristianBoy]

Do you know the definition of depth?

I know that Elliot McCreery are no are no Crisp.

I can do the same and name a few randoms if Gawn went down.

You do realize you’re rating Crisp as the best mid in the competition by using that absurd analogy.

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

Having watched the reply you wouldn't think Melbourne would get a better run with the umpires than that for the rest of the finals series. Right from the first minute when Hill clearly should have got a free for running down Lever in the goal square, to Melbourne constantly throwing the footy, to gifts to Petracca when he straight up drops the footy in a tackle and gets a shot at goal for it.... Melbourne very lucky to get so close.

 

[Chief]

Melbourne constantly throwing the footy

Yeah a few obvious ones, but also it can be hidden from the 37 umpires so not picked up.

 

[ChristianBoy]

Point is one our best mids was removed naming random role players doesn't mean they can do the role.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

Did everything he could to get them over the line. Had they had a decent forward line, that midfield engine easily wins them the game.

in the second half. didnt know he was out there in the first

 

[No SPIN]

Point is one our best mids was removed naming random role players doesn't mean they can do the role.

Those players can rotate through the midfield ( and have done so ALL year at various stages) to make up the minutes - you don’t have that depth.

It’s not like I said McStay would do the Crisp role - that would be random.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

It cost his team the game so fair enough to be bitter. Maynard will cop his right whack.

the fact that you had 1000 inside fifties and didnt have a clue what to do with them not a factor?

 

[ChristianBoy]

Didn't help but I'm sure having Pettracca forward would have helped that.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

On last nights effort, Brisbane beat both of those sides by 30+ points.

Doesn't matter where the game is played.

well there's only one place you'll play them. I doubt you'll get there though. unless sydney maybe get up tonight. Blues will rip you apart.

 

[Captivating]

One of the rare occasions that the crowd cheered over a player getting knocked out.
Sickening to be honest.

You obviously weren't there, so let me educate you.

The first cheering was Melbourne supporters cheering the goal kicked.
The chanting that happened later was in response to a melee that erupted with Melbourne targetting Maynard.

Neither had anything to do with the injured Brayshaw. But don't let the truth ruin your little your little story.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

don't hold your breathe. There are none. Its just a thing clowns say.

 

[Captivating]

Still waiting for your example of how Collingwood gets players off suspensions…

Still waiting

Melbourne kicked themselves out of the game, won nearly 3 quarters , but the Magpies just managed that kicking skill a tiny bit better, Bad kicking is bad football, but people who watch this game know that the Carringbush was a bit lucky and did have to fight like mad to stop Melbourne running away , which I feel they may have done given a couple of terrible shots at goal, or more!

Now the hard thing for the Dees is they have to front up next week , the Pies get a rest , and I think the last few weeks of Collingwood slump, with several ordinary games, is about to be over, and that is something for everyone to think about.

Because at full flight I believe their relentless need for the ball, , when they are on , they are nearly invincible.

The slump actually has to end or they waste another year.

Picks for the other games, I see Carlton winning, I see a Port upset win , they are very very relentless when they get into gear.

I don't think that the Saints can beat GWS, although GWS are a unknown really , and could be found out, but who knows?
No picking points for or against or winning margins, that's ridiculous.
No one can pick a winning score, only by sheer coincidental luck .
