Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 9 - Pies v Eagles Sun May 12th 1pm AEST (MCG) (Or Marvel if you actually want to watch the game)

[Luuuc]

Elliott Yeo might be the single most important player to their team in the competition. Defensive pressure out of the midfield is non-existent for the Eagles without him there.

Yeah, he transforms our midfield from this massive reality check into one that is capable of matching it with pretty much anyone.

Collingwood have legitimately scored 6 of 9 goals in a half from free kicks and 50m penalties. Imagine if this happened for WC at Optus, this thread would be full of people complaining 'noise of affirmation'

Keep the whinging going.
Very Western Australian of you.

Nobody really cares about this game so nobody is posting, but plenty of Victorian posters regularly point out that the Pies get a great run with the umpires. I guess you see what you want to see.

Just stating facts. Enjoy the umpire help just like in 2023

Keep going. Nice whingefest.
Have you got a mum? Go give her a hug.

Completely different looking team, system stays the same, and it works.

I know WC have their injury woes, none the less they're having a crack, can't do anything about the Pies swarm and spread.

Or the additional players on the field

 

[Big_Birdy]

As poorly umpired a half as you are ever likely to see.

 

[Leigh Lowther]

As poorly umpired a half as you are ever likely to see.

I'd say uncompetitive

As if the two are a coincidence.

 

[Fitzey]

Should have hit him harder!!

 

[VinnieB]

Eagles seemed to have wasted their early picks over the past few seasons. Reid the only good one.

 

[The 747]

As if the two are a coincidence.

You reckon the Eagles are nine goals down due to the umpires.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Or the additional players on the field

Ok we've had a run with the umps, so I'm guessing by your logic that is the difference in the game?

Well if that's your view that's a reflection on you.

 

[Handsuper47]

Eagles getting absolutely smashed but nah it's the umpires fault they're losing, right?

You guessed it. This guy is from WA

 

[JackOutback]

We’re clearly being outplayed. But that does make the armchair ride more frustrating because they don’t need it to win and it kills any chance of a contest.

 

[lmach]

Hard to do much when the umpires are plucking random frees out of thin air

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Eagles are playing amazing, the umpires are really having to try hard to make sure Collingwood win this

 

[Carringbush2010]

So Collingwood aren't a valid team coz umpires.

Sound logic.

 

[Big_Birdy]

You reckon the Eagles are nine goals down due to the umpires.

No. But it wouldn't have been anywhere as uncompetitive.

Easy to get a run on with almost every clearance being a soft as butter free kick.

 

[Big_Birdy]

You guessed it. This guy is from WA

Actually I'm not.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Conspiracy!

 

[lmach]

Have to laugh at the salty pies fans boing Sheed

 

[NeutralFan]

Key forward enjoyers (me) are not liking this result.

Idk, probably pessimistic about it but with your key forwards being Cox, McInnes and Hoskin-Elliott by the looks kicking 1 between them in a dominant 11 goal half. Dunno if anyone understands what I mean, I might be rambling
