Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 16 - Eagles v Saints Sun July 2nd 4:40pm EST/ 2:40PM WST (OS)

[Back One Out]

Surely you jest.
Gresham was literally sitting on the ball while tackling Sheed for the free.

Mate, that's a feee kick for HTB

Sheed was on hands and knees when he reached out and dragged the ball in.
Gresham immediately jumped on him and prevented him from getting the ball out.

Holding. The. Ball.

That's the rule.

 

[Elixuh]

God Higgins is a blight on the game.

Is a complete unco as well

 

[Magma]

higgins isnt the brightest bulb

 

[RAPPA]

Higgins will be in strife once his football career ends.

 

[Chuckie357]

When will these morons at moronabbin learn, Higgins is the worst footballer at the club

 

[Randomizor]

Umpires love the Saints

 

[CrowToon]

Another awful call. This is bloody heartbreaking to see the Eagles have their hard work be undone by crap calls gifting their opponents shots on goal.

 

[Chuckie357]

No matter how well saints go it’s performances like these that show they still got the stink of Seaford on them

Mate, your club had to merge to win. Are you prepared for another season of home finals choking?

 

[Captivating]

Can some on please inform me why many teams are wearing the indigenous guernseys this round?

NAIDOC week?

 

[mick500]

How the hell was that a dangerous tackle on Higgins?

 

[Rubber Snake]

Higgins f’ing show pony !!

 

[Monco Matt]

Well I guess your lack of knowledge is forgiven.

I assumed this is the saints Indigenous People's or first Nations people shirt

Yes, I also presume it is an IP thing, obviously. Personally, I don't like teams using colours on their jumper that isn't theirs. But, if they insist!! Make a few dollars at the club shop I suppose.

 

[RuFiO]

I don't think the Eagles can make finals if they lose this game.

 

[The 747]

How the hell was that a dangerous tackle on Higgins?

It was judged to have the potential to cause injury.

 

[JackOutback]

It was judged to have the potential to cause injury.

Every tackle had the potential to cause injury. It’s called football.

 

[My Tilly]

that looks ugly for Hill

 

[RAPPA]

Didn’t look good for Hill. Excellent second effort from Allen

 

[The 747]

Every tackle had the potential to cause injury. It’s called football.

Yep, but hey that's the AFL.

Ironically the Allen tackle which did caue injury was not a free kick (and rightfully).

 

[hawkman]

I guess that is the tackle technique the AFL want since he didn't hit his head

 

[SuperSteele22]

Feel for Bradley Hill there, but it was his own lack of awareness that did him in

 

[Elixuh]

Mate, your club had to merge to win. Are you prepared for another season of home finals choking?

I watched the first episode of the original Star Trek the other day, aired in September 1966! A good year for Saints fans!

 

[RAPPA]

Umpires are loving the Saints this quarter.

 

[The 747]

Great to hear the Eagles fans up and booing today.

 

[JackOutback]

Hill looks a little better. Hope he’s ok.

 

[The 747]

Boooooooooooooo
