Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 6 - Port v Eagles Sat April 22nd 1:45pm AEST (Adelaide Oval)

[Roobs321]

I like Kelli in general as a person and media personality, but she is one of those airhead callers, can’t really generate any insightful analysis of her own and just simps received stories and narratives, never really seems to suggest an underlying greater knowledge of the game. Does her particular job okay but she just says a lot of clunky things that reveal she doesn’t read the game very closely.

 

[CrowToon]

Concussed

Actually? I'm not watching.

 

[NonPhixion]

Jonas is terrible

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Kelli Underwood clearly loves the sound of her own farts. Her latest jibe about JH-F and umpiring was absolutely pathetic.

 

[Roobs321]

Shuey subbed out (ankle)

 

[philthy05]

A sure sign that the afl is vic-centric is that no one is applying remotely any heat to Jonas


He’s been in horrific form for like 2 years now and his form this year has him as probably the worst defender in the league. He’s just absolutely shithouse and there’s been not a peep about it

 

[philthy05]

Eagles are absolutely shithouse, but at least they’re still trying

 

[WilloTree]

Gaff's footskills are questionable.

 

[Roobs321]

I don't mind her as a commentator even if she isn't a football expert, there are other commentators I find more annoying than her like Luke Darcy.

Same, and she isn’t the first of her type, been some longterm male commentators over the years who are generally a likeable broadcasting presence and caller but a bit superficial in their reading.

No arguments from me, this should be his last game at AFL level. He is absolutely Poo.

Are we going to see the Eagles magically cover the line this week, after they somehow did it last week against Geelong despite being 70+ points down.

 

[Roobs321]

‘Questionable’ is being kind.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Read my lips: IT IS NOT ABOUT MEANINGLESS MINOR ROUND GAMES.

If you don't win enough of these "meaningless minor round games", there's no finals.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Actually? I'm not watching.

Yep, looked to run in and tackle a bloke who was standing stationary and kind of whacked his head against his shoulder/shoulder blade.

 

[wce_all_da_way]

The umpires have been harsh on Aliir today.

But at the same time gotten away with a couple too (HTB, arms around in a marking contest). Mixed bag really.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Can see the Eagles development in every game so far in short burts or sometimes half a quarter.

Promising signs imo.

Genius. Way to miss the *in point.

 

[Roobs321]

That goal from a 50 free was like manna from heaven for Petch. The footy gods are consorting to try and get their gazelle one more year in the system.

 

[WilloTree]

Looks a bit sore.

Ice bath?

 

[MisterMarcus]

Honest question: with Allen and Waterman and now Culley showing a bit, and West Coast in rebuild mode now......is Jack Darling

still Best 22?

This is why strangely the majority of the fanbase is fine, especially compared to last year. We might end up with a spoon this year but all games so far have shown plenty of promise and a semblance of a game plan even if we don't have the personnel yet to execute it properly and thus get thumped on the scoreboard.

 

[Roobs321]

Demons game aside, our Q3s have felt good this year.

 

[Roobs321]

Honest question: with Allen and Waterman and now Culley showing a bit, and West Coast in rebuild mode now......is Jack Darling still Best 22?

Yes, even if he doesn’t hit the goalsheet he still offers a fair bit, also durable and not that old and home state. Allen/Waterman types tend to pinch-hit in the ruck too, and Jack like Cripps can dunk a clutch one from a tight angle.

 

[philthy05]

Lol he fresh aired that

 

[mrmonkey]

I kicked a goal like that in under 7s, couldn't believe the umpire gave me that one.
