Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 1 - Demons v Dogs Sun March 17th 1pm AEDT (MCG)

[ApplecrossWC]

The dogs premiership window is well and truly shut

 

[YeoShuey]

Bontempelli gone MIA the second half. Pretty putrid from him.

What do you expect when he is the only good player on their team? Can’t do everything by himself.

 

[JackFlash]

The heat will be on Beveridge this week and what on earth are players doing laughing and hugging the opposition after a 7 goal loss? Supporters would be gutted, but the players all have a giggle?

Asking a ginger about sunburn lol, well done Sarah Jones

Dogs tall timber forward line mostly benign. Midfield also lightweight.

Dees lookin good, I reckon them getting a 100 points augurs well for their more active forward line. Big Ben was excellent, proactive.

There’s a world of difference between the WB and the big sound from the west of the town…

You’re elite

 

[Dez!]

The superior defense prevails over the superior forward line

Our defense didn't play on our forwards?

Yeah. Imagine playing 4 quarters of a football match and thinking that a question about sunburn is what the fans care about at the end of the match…

Well given the umpires opened it for them I’d argue the WB never did it themselves.

 

[Lsta062]

Bulldogs are 4-8 against Melbourne since 2017 with an average losing margin of about 47 points. Not good. Feels like Bulldogs are just in the middle of the ladder going nowhere

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Can hardly understand Oliver. Bloke is absolutely frazzled.

It’s amazing he can play to the level that he does.

Who is looking absolutely A1 if I don’t say so myself…..

That's a very good point actually

 

[Bloody]

Thought most of it was cringe especially the out field stuff. Bloke got 35 and had solid game in a win, talk footy

 

[Dazb86]

Nearly a 50 point flogging for the Dogs but Brown just missed that last goal to save them from it.

You wouldn't have picked that halfway through the first quarter when they Dogs were well on top.

Have you seen many Dogs V Demons games?

 

[Toump Ass]

Remember when dogs fans were adamant Naughton was better than Mckay.

No. TBH I don’t think anyone has really had cause to think about Carlton for much of the last thirty years.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Possibly tired from carrying the team.

In fairness I think they have a number of good players apart from Bont. That said I feel like the media has overrated them a lot since 2016.

 

[Satan]

Won the one that counted

 

[YeoShuey]

Yet Collingwood and Carlton are the teams most brought up on these forums. Plenty of people thinking about them.

Never quite get this. A lot of players are friends. Do they have to be angry and rude after a loss just cos it’s a loss?

 

[Toump Ass]

Honestly the Dogs rolling over- again- is pretty disgusting. They love being our plaything and it’s very cute but also show some spine you week campaigners.

Strange to think the Dogs made a granny in 21, get gifted two top prospects in JUH and Darcy, and turn their giraffe into an AA ruckman and end up being a middle of the road side.

Bevo’s last season imo.

As Dane Sean said, if he wasn’t playing footy he’d be putting the stickers on the apples

JUH is a very good player but Darcy is a long way off being an AFL player.

Never finished top 4. Gifted a flag. Very average outfit. Would be surprised if JUH and Smith stay if they don’t play finals this year.

 

[Oscarman]

New caller is good

Matt Hill? He is. Think he did some Sunday arvo games on 7 last year.

 

[Young Redleg]

I don't know why the bulldogs kept bombing the ball into the forwardline. Surely they should know by know that the easiest way to beat us is to move the ball through the corridor and hit targets on the lead.

If this crowd was at the Gabba it would look pretty full.

If this crowd was at the Gabba it would be a sellout

The 747 apologies I read your post as having a dig at the crowd, we're on the same page
