Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 21 - Bombers v Freo Sun Aug 4th 3:20pm AEST (MCG)

[Zevon]

Who have they beaten in Victoria?

Last time i looked the ground they are playing on now holds a massive significance in finals.

Beaten North, Richmond, St Kilda, lost to the Dogs and now Essendon. So they’ve hardly defeated a who’s who of the league in Victoria but how are they supposed to grab a scalp if they’re not drawn to play one there?

2 games at the G for a win and a loss, which is a tiny sample really. Certainly isn’t the damning evidence that they’re some huge flaky pretender away from home that you think it is.

nice one, sucked in.

 

[MJG14]

Unbelievable clearance from Merrett. Gun.

 

[Roobs321]

Freo looked the real deal lately but that heartbreak on the G will be haunting if they happen to make it there again

 

[justlookingaround]

nice to come up against a club that’s even more of a joke than us

 

[Generalissimo]

Two immense chokes in this afternoon's games.

Round 21

West Coast play a tough, contested game of footy against a finals hopeful and manage to edge out a side that, by rights, should have come away with the chocolates.

Meanwhile, in the same round Freo tire late and get overrun by a finals hopeful in a game they should have won.

Remind me again: the derby is which side's Grand Final?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

As a dog supporter I approve this result as well

 

[Coasters7]

lol Freo

 

[Smotie2]

How shit do you have to be to almost lose to Freo at home and have a percentage of 95 and want to make it in the finals
Even if Essendon make the 8 they going to get smashed out first week lol

Well done bombers. A draw would've been robbery.
With our draw we'll do well to make finals

Still a very good side, I only tipped essendon because it was at the G

Yeah, how dare they beat a team that was headed 3rd if they won today.

Their supporters must be feeling awful about that comeback.

Seriously, posts like the above are what pass for clever analysis on these game day threads. People are allowed to enjoy their team having a win without wondering if they're a contender or not.

They are no chance in Vic against any final 8 team.

LOL! that's some hard core spin.
Freo choked this one away but are still a mile in front of west coast.

Eagles (barely) won a Suns away game. Wow when's the last time someone managed that!

 

[div12ressie]

Brilliant that Bummer supporters think they still have a chance

Absolute frauds like Freo

shouldnt you be watching your team get bummed at the moment?

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Essendon & Carlton scrapping it out for 8th & 9th place

 

[Dazb86]

Huge win.

Now to watch St. Kilda Comeback!

 

[Tas]

Good win by the Bombers, showed a lot of fight.

 

[Jafa]

Freo have bottled this one, FMD.

Without question. Unbelievable.

Not watching your own team i guess!

Haha Dockers

Man, lowkey was waiting for 'Useless AFL Stats' to drop a "First time 3 teams have drawn against each other in the same season" post
