Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 12 - Suns v Crows Sat June 3rd 7:30pm AEST (TIO)

[Dirty Bird]

I bet umpires stayed in Darwin for second game. I believe the same happened last year. Number 13 is insanely bad. Who knows he may even feel guilty and overcompensate.

3 of the 4 field umpires, all 4 boundary umpires and all 3 goal umpires are the same

The one and only umpire who isn't there?
#13 - He has the weekend off.

Note - i didn't see your game last week (I thought about it, but skipped in the end) so have no idea if he was bad or not.

 

[Dirty Bird]

For who?
Dogs thrash crows
We beat dogs

Darwin - advantage suns

Suns missing 4 best 22 (miller, Weller, lemmens. Budarick) including our 2 best small defenders which is a worry.

I’d probably say Adelaide slight favourites.

From a acclimatisation front - yes.

But isn't Adelaide one of the big 4 clubs in the NT (Along with Port, Essendon and Carlton)?

Could be a very pro-crow crowd.

Dunno ask SUNS
Sounded like the bulldogs had more supporters than suns last week.

Not sure even if 6000 out of the 8000 crowd are cheering for the crows that it really makes much of a difference.

 

[Angus Young]

Crows

Big game for both teams either way

 

[Osho]

The game of the round?

I've developed a strong desire to see Dewey prevail as a successful coach and get the boys into finals. Sometime soon.

Crows are fantastic to watch. I hope for a close game with Loquacious punting a 70m goal on siren for a famous 2 point victory. I havent looked at the teams, and also hope Likouscious is playing!

Then it's off to join the Suns in celebration at the 24 hour allyoucaneat Steak Sizzler, followed by bottomless cups of beer at the bringyourownbucket Viking Skull pub.

The game of the round?

Certainly has the potential to be! The ramifications are massive for both sides. I think Melburnians were probably pleasantly surprised with what they saw from the Suns last week in one of the few nationally televised games we get throughout the year so perhaps this one will attract more viewers than an ordinary Suns v Crows fixture would. What would make this game even more interesting is if we (the Suns) had the opportunity to enter the top 8 with a win but that would require a 50+ point victory over the Crows which isn't going to happen so we'll probably have to wait for that. Although Adelaide can lose their spot in the top 8 if don't win tonight and Geelong end up beating the Bulldogs.

I haven't bothered checking how well Crows travel, still, a large tick in the Sun's pro-column for this game.

I think Suns will be well served to stick to their internal aims and goals which will centre on mastering their game style incrementally week by week, and by virtue of that, gaining confidence and momentum that will stand up when challenged by top teams. So if not this week, another week during the season, they can get into the 8. And stay there.

Should be a rippa, and if many folk don't see it, their loss.

"Always clean under the pump. Not on this occassion"

 

[Osho]

Brian O'Reilly given heaps of frontal space in the ruck there.

 

[Osho]

Suns can't control the Crows run and carry. Looking a tad worrisome.
