Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 18 - Swans v Dogs Thurs July 13th 7:20pm AEST (SCG)

[My Tilly]

Rayner's pretty damn good.

Yep' 15 touches & 1 goal is pretty bloody good

Plus a specky and a couple of goal assists!

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

I keep hearing people say the Bulldogs have this amazingly talented list that's being wasted by Bevo but I don't see a heap of talent.

Sure there's the obvious talent like bont, naughton, libba, jamara, weightman and english but who else?

Daniel, Bailey Dale, Macrae, Richards, Darcy, Bailey Smith..... how much more do you want lol. They're stacked with talent.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

They scheduled him for tomorrow nights blockbuster

Good keep him away from our games

 

[Pacman82]

Rayner is a no.1 draft pick and Smith's already well and truly surpassed your boy.

I couldn't give a toss about the Dogs losing, it's great for my mob because all these teams around us are not taking their opportunity.

Rayner's kicked more than 4X the goals than the dunce last two seasons, 40 v 9, and what ever extra disposals Smith's had he's pissed about every one them against the wall! Not even in the same ballpark bro.

Agree on smith, forgot him but the rest are nothing special just stock standard afl players. Darcy just a kid so he doesn't count.

 

[guruisatiger]

You made a grand final last year on the back of an umpiring mistake (Papley on Moore missed free kick resulting in last goal in a 1pt win).

Are you head lining the international comedy festival??

 

[Macca180]

It's amazing that some Bulldogs supporters think it was the umpires tonight yet they think the 2016 Grand Final umpiring was fine. Weird.

Anyway I be frustrated as a Dogs supporter. They cant maintain or build on a lead. Their forward entries and decision making going forward was shocking.Fitness seems to be an issue. Coaching too.

So much talent. Should probably be in the top 4 but instead ( like every year) will stress out their fans just to try and scrape into finals in the last round.

Champaign comedy here.. Word around the kennel is Poulter's taking his spot from here on in.

in their side.
And yes I’m aware big “Lobbster” didn’t play today but his replacement was worse.

Horrid defence too.

 

[mick500]

Cheers swannies. Now the crows can jump ahead of the Bulldogs by week-ends end

 

[Hoges64]

Well, the good news for the AFL is they can save money on umpires match fees and go back to one field umpire per game next year. If you're gonna get it wrong anyway, you may as well get it wrong for a quarter of the price.

 

[Lingsface]

If Buddy converted those two shots that would have been trademark style game, still very good but close to excellent. His pressure in chases and physical presence is still very valuable.

Try and tell half the Clowns on the Swans Board that.

Bit harsh on the replacement he missed half the game with injury

 

[MisterMarcus]

If Weightman isn't bagging goals, then they don't seem to have many small forwards who can hit the scoreboard. They rely heavily on blokes like Bontempelli or even English to kick goals from the midfield.

Last night, the Doggies' small forwards didn't even provide much of a contest. If Naughton or JUH didn't clunk the mark, the Swans just waltzed it out of D50 with ease.

Been an ongoing issue for years. We don't have crumbing forwards. Bevo also pushes our half forwards into the midfield which leaves us outnumbered in our forward line more often than not.

Think the gameplan is pretty stale. We overuse the footy more than any other side and go wide/backwards far too much. Results in shallow entries and a flooded forwardline.

I felt pretty sorry for both Naughton and JUH.

Seemed to spend the whole night having the ball banged on top of their heads while they had 2-3 opponents on them

 

[Percel]

Collingwood have been pretty successful in getting rid of those who don’t perform.

Treloar, Grundy… Interesting

Stephenson…

Hard to time a lead when the balls being flicked around unneccesarily

You forgot Lobb

 

[Superstar swan]

Asking neutrals....how big is the gap between nick daicos and errol ?

 

[DemonZombie_001]

I thought West's game was excellent last night.
On the flip side I thought JUH had a horror night.

To me it just seemed that Sydney came up with a Plan B to stifle the Bulldogs mid-field and then the Bulldogs didn't have their own Plan B to counter what the swans did.

This. Think about all the times that the dogs have been on top in games and then the other team changes something and Bevo has no plan b. So frustrating as a supporter

 

[Bald]

Asking neutrals....how big is the gap between nick daicos and errol ?

I think it’s fairly large. Errol is a terrific player, but Daicos is something I’ve personally never seen. Comparisons to Judd and Ablett are even weird because neither was doing this in their second season.
