Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 16 - Demons v GWS Sun July 2nd 3:20pm AEST (TIO)

[Stax on the mill]

Great win Giants. Against the odds, and despite an absolute reaming from the umpires.

 

[Occidental]

Melbourne won’t finish top four.

 

[Pklz]

Teams that choose to sell and play home games interstate deserve to lose

 

[Lsta062]

Although low-scoring, this game was still entertaining to watch IMO.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Frees 25-10 Dees way

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Aristotle Pickett you must be happy. There is a tree right on the fence.

Yes, it looks great. A great spectacle from Alice Springs. A proper non-theater crowd and no concrete stands.
A deeshalosing loss for the snow pirates.

 

[windyhill]

Sell home games expect the odd bite on the arse.

 

[PrinceCharles]

Does Petracca have the worst GA% ever? For a player who has had minimum 100 shots, say.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

This is probably going to cost the Dees a top four spot.

This is why clubs should never sell home games.

Yeah taking the game to communities that wouldnt otherwise have opportunity to see it. How terrible.

 

[longdonkey]

Frees 25-10 good try umpires

I don’t think it will, no one outside the top 4 is good enough to take it. Saints prime example at the moment.

Non Victorian sides need to start making noise. The competition is rigged enough as it is.

One of them will get a roll on and surprise.
Possibly the Crows.

Adelaide been unlucky a couple of times this season (losing narrowly to Collingwood twice for example)

They definitely have the talent to make top 4 through

 

[Harris Specter]

Melbourne are pretenders. Need a list overhauled

Might find brisbane and freo stay quiet…

 

[My Tilly]

They need a quality tall (or two).
They're impossible to find. Himmelberg is no star but he's better than anything they have right now. McLean is another with potential upside worth gambling on.

 

[Xtreme]

Been saying for ages that they are just making up the numbers. They are not much better than Hawthorn outside of ladder position....

 

[Gazza Greatness]

Like to pay special mention to Bedford's effort of GWS with 2.14 seconds to go in game when he copped a decent hit from McVee from the Dees when he courageously flew with flight of ball, not knowing what was coming the other way. He then he got straight up from the hit and put a great tackle on Lever who got pressured handball to Brayshaw whom Bedford made another great effort to put him under pressure as Brayshaw then kicked a scrubbing ball to Salem of which Bedford made another tremendous effort to pressure his kick. The guy gets no possessions but his combined efforts in that one play was a outstanding achievement.... kudos to you young man.

Every Tiger supporter is with you about the umpiring.

 

[Osho]

Yeyyyy!
Well done team!
I was busy at work, what a nice treat when checking scores.

 

[The Gulden Child]

FU Melbourne cost me the 9 game multi.

 

[Osho]

Just watched a replay of the last qtr.

What a grind that was. Dees dominated possession and i50s, conditions and good defence, and dozens and dozens of 1%ers got Giants over line. A win hard earnt and against the tide, that'll be good for morale.

Kelly's winning goal reminded me of Houston's last night - a long way out, extremely deliberate and decisive, summed up situ perfectly, and executed. Magical play!

 

[Jibroni]

After today I realised we are not that good, our forward line is a shambles and our record since mid last season is average.

We need to recruit a key forward, bring in some youth and fresh ideas from new assistants and better game strategy.
