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

[Jimmy95]

It's not the umpires. In the first half the crows were invincible and dominated. Umpires weren't an issue then. They just ran out of puff in the heat and got outplayed in the 2nd half.

You want 2 gather rounds a season?

That is 2 free hits a year then in what is a supposed afl called neutral round!

You have to play Adelaide in Adelaide eventually? You are the one team who can't complain about gather round.

How many times have Carlton played in Tasmania, Darwin and Ballarat in the one season?

 

[Elixuh]

Impartials, is the umpiring as bad as we think?

Crucial decisions at key moments have been incomprehensible.

Probably in GCS favour but didn't determine the match. GCS played well so credit to them. GCS dominated the second half.

Clearly I am biased but * me is this the worst umpiring of the season. Gold goast getting the rub of the green.

Not even close to what Gold Coast copped last week

It's unfortunate for the Crows but footy is a four quarter game, you gotta bring the heat for the whole match, and you don't want your gameplan depending on how the umps go.

Crows went a little ahead of schedule this year with some good results so the faithful were conditioned to expect more but reality is it is a young list that needs time to develop cohesion/consistency and good wins along the way shouldn't waiver the mindset on that.

Finals are not out of the equation and could happen, but it shouldn't be the expectation of the young list nor the bar set.

Umpiring had a big impact on the momentum in this game.

Its pretty putrid viewing honestly unfortunately tonight was the square up for the diabolical Bulldogs game.

 

[Plugger35]

The Suns are on the rise, they should play in Darwin more often, they are 2 and 0 there this year.

GC got the rub of the green, but GC were also the better side for all four quarters so deserve their win.

EDIT: Agree on the above comment that what GC copped against WB was worse.

You can't just drop it. Have to make an attempt at a legal disposal. Umpires rarely pay it correctly

Depends if it’s “knocked out in the tackle” or not

 

[Jimmy95]

Lukosius is a jet. Showing why he was pick 2 in a super draft. Big fellas take longer and he's arrived.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Free kicks 8 or 9 to 2 in the last qtr and a bs 50. Good game ruined by umpires who wanted to say sorry to a team that *ing won their corrupt game last week.

Am sure frees were around 21 to 20 at 3 qtr time and ended up 29-23. So 8 to 2 feels about right.

That was just so horrible. In particular the non existent 50 against Jones. When the commentators are questioning it you know it’s bullshit

 

[windyhill]

brereton on the boundary, has he had his contract re-worked ?

We had the same 50m penalty for not stepping over the mark.

We also copped a bizarre reversal going forward that resulted in their goal.

And a Butts HTB 15m out despite no prior.

A free kick count of 8 or 9 to 2 in the last qtr.

Im not sure it's 'not close'.

Commentators just laugh about it and view it as the "square up" somehow that makes it okay.

As a forward!

Looked pretty shit to me
Soft ones went the suns way.

Crows skills really didn't help themselves though

Crows just need 20+ games a year at AO and also a GF in SA. Only then will the crying stop regarding inequalities.

Crows are woeful away from AO and that is fact.

this isnt the winner you think it is

He always seems to do it for the Fox NT games.

Woe is us still imagining finals are a possibility. Your lot either needs to fashion a 24th version of a plan A or enter a 4th rebuild this century, oh the possibilities.

Whereas Carlton is woeful everywhere.

As are most teams.

Has he ever been to Darwin....dressed in jeans and a jacket, he'd be a sauna.

I agree. But this thread is not about us.
