Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 1 - Freo v Lions Sun March 17th 6:50pm AEDT (OS)

[RonnieRaven]

Sean Darcy forgotten man.

I think Jackson could kick 50+ if Darcy stayed fit

 

[Osho]

Big win, Freo.
Turned around a horror start.

What about Brizzy's ticker?

 

[YeoShuey]

Saints definitely a chance next week.

I’d give them slight favouritism. Almost took down Geelong at GMHBA which is not easy to do.

Should be at Marvel though.

 

[Elixuh]

Nah just your team m8
Guess your teams taking fages
“Fail their way to the top” mantra a little too seriously

Pregame once we saw the pitch we just said training run boys didn’t want to lose half our team

 

[fnerd]

Sean Darcy forgotten man.

errr no
Thats someone like Jack darling

 

[HTPunter]

Fyfe isn’t the Fyfe he was five or so years ago but he’s done some good things and I’m happy to see him contributing, looking less lost and getting amongst it a bit more than he has over the past few years. On swallow doesn’t make a summer and all that but it’s nice to see

Honestly Fyfe can have 6 touches a game - the influence it has on Serong alone as a smaller body is huge

 

[matthew_s]

errr no

ok.

 

[cactuscall]

is 40k a good crowd? I would have expected more for the first home game of the season?

It's a good crowd. Was Port's 34k a good crowd?

Yep that’s where his influence will be invaluable for our midfield.
Frees up serong and brayshaw that much more

Obviously early on in the season so hard to know how teams play - but after PS v us & v Geelong, I don’t reckon the Saints have the speed of ball movement to make the Pies defence jointed like Sydney & GWS did. They’ve got a lot of good runners & ball users though with a huge focal point in King to draw attention so potentially round 1 was just blowing some cobwebs off and we will see a faster style next week (IF Ross the Boss has had a change of heart)

 

[Freomaniac]

Ooh Boy, think you might do ya 20 ponies Freomaniac

I don't care. Caleb Serong... 46 disposals and 10 clearances

 

[Section226]

Umps mustn't be good at Maths.

If a player takes the ball at the centre circle, runs, then kicks the ball beyond the centre square without bouncing, they've run at least 25m.

That last Brisbane goal while a beauty from long range shouldn't have been allowed.

Is a 10 goal loss in the opening round an improvement from last year for west coast ?

And 3 Brownlow votes.

Won’t be surprised if he wins it this year. Freo only have 2 good midfielders so should be easy to get votes.

Yeah great game kept his tagger to under 10 disposals as well if I am correct. Totally dominated.

 

[Giant YoYo]

Shocking season start by the Lions.

 

[cactuscall]

Geez Andrew Gaze really puts a sour note on a good win.

 

[Randomizor]

And 3 Brownlow votes.

Won’t be surprised if he wins it this year. Freo only have 2 good midfielders so should be easy to get votes.

Really helps him to have Fyfe around for a bit of protection

 

[Freomaniac]

Why were Freo supporters booing McCarthy?

For accidentally injuring Jye Amiss

 

[cactuscall]

And 3 Brownlow votes.

Nevermind other teams having half decent midfielders on the field lol

Fyfe AB Young aren’t bad
Jackson will steal some votes

 

[YeoShuey]

Is Fyfe any good these days?

Only two I really rate from there are Serong and Brayshaw.

The less elite midfielder a team has, the easier it is to win imo.

Look at Neale. Prime example. Then you have Bont who came close as well.

As long as Freo are winning, they will be up there.

Yeah AB the other midfielder I really rate from there.
