Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 21 - Bombers v Eagles Sat August 5th 1:45pm EST (Marvel)

[JoeHawk]

Gee Essendon very lucky the eagles choked up once they hit the front

Blame the umpire with that putrid ball up directly to the bombers player.

 

[cactuscall]

Stay mad

More bemused by the inane motions commentators run through than mad. He probably didn't even realise he said it.

I'll stay bemused.

 

[Pancakes]

Perfect result for the mighty Eagles.

Showed that we have already surpassed this s**t Bombers team (not hard really, they truly are a garbage team) but keep pick one.

The future is very bright.

 

[TheKanga]

3:13:25 on the Kayo stream if you want to see the ump throw the ball to the Essendon player instead of straight up… talk about a ******* corrupt sport!

Eagles were paying $10
Makes you wonder

I wouldn’t say that was the deciding moment but yeah that was a disgrace.
How it wasn’t called back should see that ump back in the VFL

 

[Mister B]

Start of the year we had a public apology to Collingwood for a single missed free. In the last quarter we saw a clear front on not paid, a goal kicked from a push not paid, a throw up that was effectively an assist from the ump and a block that was ignored. All one way, in a 1 point loss. Who wants to put money on the fact we won't hear a word about it?

 

[SBYM]

I can't help but feel that, because of the late goal, the entire football community missed a great chance to come together as one.

Harley Reid was a Kangaroo for about one minute

It absolutely was by giving them the stoppage clearance. If it was a straight ball up it would have been a fairer contest.

 

[Mootsy]

I hoped the Eagles won that, because i tipped them, but honestly, we are bad.
I have no idea what Dodoro is doing.

The context is, not to take anything away from west coast, they played well, but that was on our home ground and it was just lacklustre as it gets.

 

[Veer Right]

The statistics this year don't support that statement. Feel free to check.

Over the years.

You want to see the most garbage one sided corrupt umpiring ever in an AFL match? A game where the umpires were literally demoted back to a lower league the following week for blatant cheating?

[Vindicater]

Well...

That was embarrassing.

Oh ok so umpires should make decisions based on historical trend data?

Ok cool. Good point really well made.

He won’t get dropped thry can do no wrong according to the AFL

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

As much as I’m devastated on one hand that my 13 game 493 day losing streak almost ended, I am relieved on the other hand that we hold on to number 1!!

 

[SBYM]

I have no idea what Dodoro is doing.

I wouldn't worry. He's just starting to find his groove.

By the 2031 off-season I reckon he'll have the whole trading/drafting thingy nailed.

Maybe you will beat the Dockers.

You would rather bury your head in the sand and think your team earned all those close wins over in Adelaide over the years. Lol yeah right.

Evidence. You are missing evidence.

I'll stay bemused.

GWS aren't world beaters, we've beaten them before, and Carlton proved Collingwood are gettable, especially if they take it easy in the last round leading into the finals. Beating GWS puts us in contention if other results fall our way, beating the Pies puts us on 13 wins and we're a lock.

This close win may have been the scare we needed going into V North next week. Should've pipped the Swans.

So we're still a chance and not out of the ordinary with what they said. So you're being a little foolish. Even then it's not really a pass mark for us, we went into this year with everyone predicting us in the bottom 2.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Oh look 16th are smashing 1st lets all go lay into them and forget this ever happened!

 

[Hawks_4478]

West Coast almost had to pull an interchange infringement there

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

Maybe you will beat the Dockers.

Tbh I see Fremantle turning up, the fact it’ll be seen as we have a chance I think they’ll flat track it

 

[Tandy]

I'd hate to accuse a team of tanking but did the Eagles just make sure they get the number 1 pick? Any suspicious coaching moves?
