Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 9 - Bombers v Giants Sat May 11th 4:35pm AEST (Marvel)

[Zevon]

Point was Bombers should've been further ahead with domination in Q3 i saw

Ah fair enough. Spot on then.

 

[HTPunter]

I get the home crowd is probably infectious and easily to jump on the atmospheric bandwagon but heck Huddo (I think it is?) - his commentary is incredibly one way today. At times (after Guelfis 2nd) he has been speaking like the Bombers were about to win a grand final - just raving. Then GWS kicked a goal straight after and he barely elevated his voice

 

[Colonial]

Stayed in somehow? 3 metres out.

 

[HTPunter]

Whitfield worst on Ground. his tagger kicks 3 and Whitfield himself has about 5 legit touches this game when you exclude kickins. He's also been slo to get rid of the ball on multiple occasions. pathetic game.

Agreed. Guelfi has a great balance as a defensive forward. Smart player at finding space.

Darcy Jones..I don't see the hype.

Disagree. Crazy take. Considering he’s only in what, his 3rd game, I don’t think you can expect him to play well each game. His 1st game alone gives him 6-10 weeks of hype

 

[Cmarsh]

Well done Bombers. We played like over paid millionaires and got smashed.

Theres a few in our side that are overpaid millionaires.

lately yes.

 

[YeoShuey]

Guelf - what’s up with the nail polish?

 

[Zevon]

Good god, it’s nearly getting to the point where you can put your house on Stringer missing from that sort of range.

 

[HTPunter]

This is a completely new reiteration of GWS but the core of 2019 remains the same and I feel like it’s still got the same issues. World beaters when on, but this game + Carlton + Sydney they’ve been well out classed. How do they improve from here?

 

[Colonial]

When our transition is off its under 9s off.

 

[HTPunter]

Bombers finally the real deal?? I know we’ve been here before MANY times over the past 2 decades but I think blokes like Durham, Perkins, Caldwell complement each other and make each other better players. Rather than just having Parish + Merrett race each other to 35 like 2-3 years ago.

Is Hind the biggest flog in the AFL?

Same here!

(hasn’t been on for 5 years)

Its not deciding this one

Is Hind the biggest flog in the AFL?

junior Rioli for sure with his late hits, cheap shots, and ill discipline

Weightman & Ginnivan embody the small forward flog role too

Where is the “Should we write off the Orange Plastics?” thread?

You’re telling me brother

 

[Colonial]

Where is the “Should we write off the Orange Plastics?” thread?

right next to the Blues are entitled soft pricks

 

[Dale One]

haha far out Essendon just end it already

Biggest pretenders in the AFL your lot. Won’t get anywhere near it this year.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Our pressure has been immense

 

[YeoShuey]

Biggest pretenders in the AFL your lot. Won’t get anywhere near it this year.

Ironic that Freo fans are chiming in on not “getting anywhere near it” given their flawless, stellar Premiership record.

 

[Black Saab]

Credit to the Bombers. Giants clearly not as good as their previous results suggested. Very strange season. Essendon is 3rd on the ladder??????????????

 

[boncer34]

GWS by 35+, think they will be too good for the Bombers
