Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 1 - Tigers v Blues Thurs March 13th 7:30pm AEDT (MCG)

Bacchus Marsh actually.
Went to Geelong Grammar though.

Close enough!

The difference a star forward makes was on show and him injured was a big reason why Richmond were horrible last year. Even underdone and rusty, Lynch demanded a lot of attention from defenders, and he was often triple teamed yesterday in contests.

Thought he got towelled up a lot by Weitering but to his credit he still did his job for the smalls the whole game. Last year, they were relying on Koschitzke to do that.

 

[Orange crush]

Hard to make a call on a 1 game sample size. And knowing how stacked and hard to get into that Giants backline with Taylor, Buckley etc. But last night he just looked horribly out of position and form. Here are some telling stats. 4 turnovers, 3 pressure acts and 0 tackles. Would want to put that game behind him like all his team mates.

He should have retired a one-team player

 

[Toffee Lion]

Nick Haynes looking good

It's a shame he is out for the rest of the season, I thought he was sensational for Richmond but they won't get to use him all year now.

Hard to replace.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

In fairness to Carlton they won on expected score.

 

[THECHIEFTON]

In fairness to Carlton they won on expected score.

Is that the same as a moral victory?

 

[What else we can do]

That gymastics routine will go down as the most expertly applied trolling seen on a football field this century.

If one of our players attempted that they would get injured and be out of action for 3 months.

 

[Kapital city TIGER]

settle settle Tigers.
Haven't beaten anyone good. Also, Carlton were missing a player.

Sure we love a come from behind victory, but, its just round 1 (or zero or 2 or whatever the F)
Its probably too early to talk about another FLAG

The round 1 overreactions both ways each year are always humorous. Carlton will still be up there and you blokes are a young, inexperienced outfit that will probably tire and finish bottom 6 but the narrative straight after the games this time of year is funny

 

[damochandler]

The really didn’t want to let de koning get front position at throw ins

 

[RonnieRaven]

Best poll in the history of big footy

Never been happier to get it so wrong in my life
Thankyou

 

[Sir_Loin]

Never been happier to get it so wrong in my life
Thankyou

Haha

 

[RedWhite4Ever]

Looks bloody stoked and why not! His team played for the jumper and his players played for him last night.

Love a good underdog story and this bloke has inspired so many. Well done Adem!

 

[Mr.X]

I believe the quote goes, "Hard work beats talent when talent isn't willing to work hard"

This sums it up precisely

Blues showed up and expected to win without putting in the effort

Tigers put the effort in, and showed some hunger

Blues need to realise they aren’t entitled to anything.
If they are serious about being a contender, they need to do the work and put in the required effort

Quite simply, they aren’t willing to do what it takes to be successful

 

[BratPack]

Upon further review now that I've stopped laughing at Carlton. I am forced to take points off Seth Campbell's celebration.

Sure the boy's got a great Chiko Roll but come on

No Battered Sav
No Hello Boys
Not even a Flatbag

The Russian Judge would not be impressed. 7.5 at best.

 

[Neese]

Nor crazy date

 

[No SPIN]

How does Sam Walsh have 25 touches and no impact. Saad- ‘Woof’ followed by ‘oh $&@?, another turn over’, gold.

When you have back surgery at such a young age, due to being overworked and pressured to play under duress, a fast decline is inevitable. I feel sorry for the poor kid - another star ruined by Carlton’s negligence- just Kruzeur.

 

[lalorGOAT]

Have to agree. Can't think of a more epic h&a uoset than this one. Maybe the miracle on grass?

Suns against the Swans in 2018 is on the podium

 

[Grin]

any less than a 200 point belting and it's probably a sign we're not quite there yet

Maybe not quite there yet?

 

[FootyLad0]

Maybe in about 12-14 years when they match Geelongs age profile.

Geelong are going into tomorrow with less 30+ year olds than Richmond had on Thursday night.

“Geelong Old” jokes are about 3 years out of date. Conveniently, those jokes got “old”

 

[Grin]

If we go by last year, the first team to lose to Richmond ends up making the grand final. So congrats Carlton!

Earlier this century Hawthorn pretty much had to lose to Richmond to win a premiership

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

The age profile that's not in the top 4 oldest in the league? And where 5 of oldest 9 players are borderline best 23?

People know you're not the oldest list in the team now lol, or I hope they do. It's just fun sometimes to still say it. And I gathered that they were talking about Geelong's list a few years ago

I noticed last year how much he'd regressed at GWS, and I thought he was an excellent defender at his best. Looks a shadow of that player now.

Jokes?

 

[Slime Roy]

Is it any coincidence that the blues haven't won a match since Cripps appeared in the "Fox Footy Rap?"
