Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 2 - Dogs v Suns Sun March 24th 1pm AEDT (Mars)

[Giant Pete]

Dogs lucky they played the Suns in the first half of the season.

Dogs lucky they played the Suns in the first half of the season.

Weirdly, the opposite of other years where they start well and finish poorly.

Libba's job on Rowell was incredible.

 

[CarnTheScray]

All of a sudden Melbourne’s win against the Bulldogs makes them look incredible.

They were always going to be good. Like I’ve said all offseason, surprised so many got sucked into the media and had Melbounrecout of the top 4.

Doesn’t help we have mental demons (pun not intended) every time we play them round 1. If the AFL could stop scheduling it that would be great. No other losing grand final team has had to endure that crap.

don't forget the 18 CPs and 7 SIs.. But quite the average game from Bont

let's circle back to his marks, tackles, disposal efficiency and 8 clangers.

He rescued his game in the last quarter.

It's ok, you can just admit you went off a little half cocked when you called him "cooked" on the way to likely Brownlow votes in a winning 32 touch, 19 CP, 11 clearance, 2 goal game. We won't hold it against you.

Well, they are a better team than the Suns simple as that.

WB were going to show up unlike Adelaide last week.

 

[Toump Ass]

Professor Danster on the podium, schooling everyone on football analysis and statistics.
You love to see it.

They had to after their effort last week.

 

[Some Idiot]

We get it, he's simply a rung below the true elite mids like Petracca and Oliver.

 

[catscratchfever]

Well done, Doggies. Woof, woof!

 

[The Slitherin' Snake]

The dogs get all these goals from knowing the conditions of this ground. Huge leg up.

What? Like a home ground advantage???

 

[GetDimmaBack]

66% disposal efficiency and a whopping 8 clangers. the stats speak for themselves.

 

[Dogs till i die]

Looked HTB all day every day. Might have been saved by the fact the Gold Coast guy accidentally punched the ball out of his hands in the tackle. Would normally see that paid though.

Ball knocked out in a tackle has been "play on" since Tom Wills picked up a pen

 

[Kermit]

So… a home ground advantage? Who’d have thunk it???

The tin rattler palace isn’t your home ground nor an afl standard ground

I hate the Ballarat games too. Would much prefer to be playing at Marvel.

 

[Iamspock]

The tin rattler palace isn’t your home ground nor an afl standard ground

So, no advantage then?

How's the tin rattling going from the government to upgrade/downgrade/deconstruct the Gabba going?

 

[Kermit]

The tin rattler palace isn’t your home ground nor an afl standard ground

You are literally complaining that we have an unfair advantage as we know the conditions/ground better than our opponents. Just like a home ground advantage….

 

[Prince Imperial]

The tin rattler palace isn’t your home ground nor an afl standard ground

Yet the "tin rattlers" get many millions less in AFL funding than your mob and this has now been the case for many years. Nor do they owe the AFL $10m which is in their last published financial statements.

Dimma hates Marvel Stadium, interested to know what he thinks of Mars Stadium.....just thinking.

Brisbane would kill for such a thing.

 

[Orange crush]

I said Suns winning away from home will be there biggest challenge, they have been so disappointing today my stock has fallen in them.

Yep …. Suns and Dimma both hate travel
