Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 3 - Demons v Suns Sat March 29th 1:20pm AEDT (MCG)

[WalshistheGOAT]

Dees body language is seriously grim. Trac looked like the saddest man in footy when the siren went.

Big changes to come you'd think.

 

[Mofra]

They still have to raise their hands and blow the whistle.

The quarter ends when the umpires hears it, not when they signal it.

Refer rule 10.5(a).

Signalling can occur a second afterwards but the signal is not the exact end of the play.

 

[Cmarsh]

Only two games in but GCS are addressing their biggest sticking point from last season - the inability to win away.

 

[voorhees]

well played Suns.
big confidence win at the G.
as for the D's - big changes are needed

 

[Zevon]

Because Warner, Gulden and Heeney aren’t enough….

Correct. I actually think we need some kind of salary cap allowance in acknowledgement of what an expensive city Sydney is to live in, so that we can attract the likes of Rowell and Petracca to the club. Why has nobody thought of something like that before??

 

[Elixuh]

I was just staring at Rowell wondering who is it that he reminds me of. It was bugging me.

Then I realised, he looks like the gcs mascot

This is Melbourne. What's needed is a dose of complete denial of any problem so that it can be admitted and addressed in 2027.

 

[Andronicus]

I would too but Sydney also really need a clearance beast like Rowell.

Academy not providing enough freebies?

 

[Mofra]

10.5 END OF QUARTER(a) The end of a quarter occurs when any field Umpire or emergency Umpire first hears the siren sounded by the Timekeepers to signal the end of a quarter.

Correct.

When they hear it, not when they call it, as the post I responded to stated.

 

[undefined]

Ugh, the absolute state of those Carey Grammar old boys.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Melbourne are just putrid. An indictment on the club. If you’re not the greatest side, fair enough. Play with some heart however. Absolutely insipid. Those who have played for the Dees without an abundance of talent but put their bodies on the line every contest must be shaking their heads.

Brand Melbourne. Don’t buy it. Stay clear.
Geelong at Kardinia Park next week. Probably a good thing it’s not a home game for the Dees. The crowds are all downhill from here.

Not to mention some extra list spots. Other clubs don’t appreciate the challenge of providing all these academy prospects with a pathway.

Growing the game on the frontier is a heavy burden to carry. And a thankless one.

Who do they have to bring in?

Jake Lever?

Thank goodness somebody understands!!

 

[Obzerva]

Covid compromised Perth flag is equal to 0.63 of a real premiership.

It’s science.

Vossy or Goody first to go?

Simple solution, swapsies

 

[Stax on the mill]

Nothing wrong with this era from Melbourne, got a flag out of it.

The era is over though, time to sellhouse, move on from Goodwin and rebuild. The only issue is it'll be during the Tassie introduction.

Yep, they got a flag out of it. However it was only achieved on the back of 15 years of irrelevance, which resulted in umpteen number 1 and top 10 draft picks. They also had to be heavily subsidised financially by the AFL, and other clubs. Not to speak of having to have an AFL appointed administration imposed on them. They were a basket case on and off field.

With all the leg ups and advantages that Melbourne have had handed to them over the past 20 years, 1 flag is a massive under achievement.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Goody will just add 17 percent extra loving each other next week. All good.

 

[Mofra]

Only two games in but GCS are addressing their biggest sticking point from last season - the inability to win away.

On paper they have perhaps the best midfield in the competition.
Now they can actually play like it away. Touk is ridiculously good and having him play that difficult high roaming half forward role is such a luxury.

Nailed two difficult shots from opposite angles in the third quarter. Just a very very good player.

 

[Mofra]

I only enjoyed the first 63% of that game.

10.5 END OF QUARTER(a) The end of a quarter occurs when any field Umpire or emergency Umpire first hears the siren sounded by the Timekeepers to signal the end of a quarter.

Unless the umpire was wearing novelty sized ear-muffs, then he would have heard the siren blow before the ball was kicked.

Complete amateur arrangement by the AFL. But that's what you get when a bunch of business people try and run a sport: incompetency.

 

[JHF1870]

Didn't see it, so I wont comment on his performance, but Langford had 26 and did some quality things in a losing side.

I also said he should be in the conversation, not that he'd win.

Wasn't arguing just mentioning that's what the benchmark is

 

[Elixuh]

It’s unfortunate there’s no farm land 5min from the cbd that the swans could buy up and sell to players for cents on the dollar

They need a rebuild. Move trac on. Deal with us so we can get TDK

 

[SA HAWK]

Do Melbourne have the worst culture in the comp?

10.5 END OF QUARTER(a) The end of a quarter occurs when any field Umpire or emergency Umpire first hears the siren sounded by the Timekeepers to signal the end of a quarter.

Nobody arguing that. We all know the rule but it should be amended for more precise results.
