Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 14 - Saints v Dogs Thurs June 12th 7:30pm AEST (Marvel)

[humper]

Umpires did their best to keep St. Kilda in that one. Horrid.

I never really bought into the free kick Bulldogs thing. Tonight though was horrid and the umpires put the game to bed early.

 

[Andyy]

Nah not Butler.

Incorrect.

He was AA squad in 2020, his first season with the Saints, and was widely considered a snub so they could fit in the usual additional handful of midfielders instead of genuine role players.

2023 also a very good season.

His 2017 with Richmond was solid but he never got back to those heights until he left.

 

[RWnBluey]

I stand corrected, still he's fallen off a cliff.

Sitting 5th in the Coleman

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Insane if TDK leaves blues for this bottom dweller club

1.7 mil a year will do that

Will also destroy your cap for the next decade but you do you Sainters!

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Congrats to the Dogs on their win.

If they can keep getting the sort of umpiring favours they got tonight against us they should be back in the mix for another flag.

They won't have it so easy against the likes of Collingwood and Hawthorn in finals though, the umpires are big fans of them too.



At least we should get TDK after leaving Carlton who are as much of a rabble as us.

Took care of your mob no problem. Saints are living in fantasy land if they think TDK is going to magically solve their issues.

My read was the Saints having few good players and being poorly coached were the main contributors to this 72 point loss, rather than 6 less free kicks.

Ok then he's not the same as he was in 2020.

Yes…..it was the U.m.p.I.R.i.N.g.

 

[Iamspock]

Dogs dont need more Troy Pannel umpiring for them.

Seems Troy has left his mark and educated a few into corruption as he made his way out of the umpiring ranks as he moved on to rorting employers for millions.

LOL, a Blues supporter giving running commentary on umpires....

The 18-6 start plus the countless missed that resulted in goals. Bont dropping the ball in the middle was just bizarre.

Also StKilda not having there most important player available is killing us.

 

[Mofra]

This game teaches us nothing about either team.

 

[Iamspock]

Is Darcy going to sook for frees and at his team mates for the next decade?

Is Nick Daicos?

 

[humper]

Is Nick Daicos?

Nick has the pressure of umpiring while playing.
Give him a break

 

[Harris Specter]

Can’t wait to hear Ross whinge about the academies and father sons again.

This all just sounds like sour grapes about your team being poor.

Level playing field is all we ask.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Earlier in the thread I tipped a 7+ goal win to the Dogs so I’m not shocked in the slightest about the big win.

Unfortunately for St Kilda they faced a side that kicked an accurate 20.12 instead of 7.21 that their previous opponent kicked.

Hope he does; then the Cats might turn Rowan Marshall into something after getting him for unders.

 

[WillHayward]

KPF you mean. They have Wilkie and Howard who generally is their first picked FB out injured. Up forward it's a disaster without Max King.

Howard is always injured and not very good when he plays anyway
So hardly a loss.

This game teaches us nothing about either team.

Yes it does, it teaches what we already knew, the Bulldogs are flat track bullies and merely making up the numbers (again).

Level playing field is all we ask.

The playing field tonight was as level as a salt plain. Unfortunately, your team is just below average at essentially every facet of the game.

Then you shouldn’t need an armchair ride from the umpires.

Teaching means imparting something new, not something you already know, you dunce.

We’ve beaten you by 203 points combined the last 3 times we’ve played you. That doesn’t even include the 111 point win from a few years ago.

Carlton traded Kennedy? What morons
