Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 5 - Crows v Cats Thurs April 10th 7:40pm AEST (AO)

Only people who enjoy brainrot watch opposition (or even their own club's) coach press conferences.

Don't usually find them enlightening or interesting, but was thinking more reactions in the coaching box.

Indeed, though, I thought a high RTBoss was very entertaining in his most recent presser, all giggles and flickering eyelashes, as he was also during the week on one of the boys' club footy shows. He even looked cuddly and warm. It was amazing.

You and Ross would be great together. Let's make it happen!

Tipping the crows with zero confidence

 

[Shai]

Would have preferred Clohesy in and Mullin as emg. but the backline/ruck options look better with Blitz back.

Crows are playing very well at the mo so it will be tough, Cats by 7

 

[Osho]

Geewizz, I haven't been this excited since .... since Round 3. Mouthwatering match ups everywhere.

The rebound effect may be in play here. Though despite Crows attacking prowess, they do leak a bit, like certain older folk in the evening. Cats could exploit this with their full ground sprints.

In the end, it could be simply the pressure count, which is more and more the proxy measure of winning, and a couple of key match ups, for example, who the hell is going to be given the job of watching Filforpe, the scourge of lisping defenders!

looking forward to a thur nite banger!

Geelong will be too well drilled and have a solid defence to limit the Thilthorpe/Fogarty/Walker threats. On the other side Cameron will run riot kicking 4-5 goals

Minus Henry and Kolo it'll be tough. Henry had been in great form too. I think we'd have struggled to contain those 3 regardless though. We'll need Stewart to have a dozen intercepts like last time we played them at AO. That'll be unlikely given their improvement in ball use.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

exactly.

Just be consistent.

Go Catters

I feel like they're pretty consistently letting the crows down so there's that

 

[CatToTheFuture]

The same Scott that looks like hes been shot when a correct umpiring decision goes against him?
Same with Hardwick's BS line on the weekend. He would be absolutely fuming if in the same situation.

Are you sure he's angry at the umpires or do you think he might be angry at the player that have the free away?

You can't have watched too many Cats or Crows games this year....

I think the only way we can defend those 3 is with defensive pressure through the midfield and we have been patchy there.

I would say we'd be competitive for most of the game bar a run of 5-7 goals against in the 3rd that determines the outcome

 

[Crow till I die]

A poster on our board mentioned that Stewart might be a late out according to people he hears information from - hope so as that would just about remove any doubt I have on the crows winning this one.

Yeah that'd probably be all she wrote. Hopefully it's not true so that we at least have a chance of a competitive contest.

 

[Chinacats]

For the crows to open gather round makes it tough for the cats , but have had an extra day break.
Hoping Geelong players are not silly enough to mess with Riley ‘the beast’ Thilthorpe! Wouldn’t mess with him…. What was Mac Andrew thinking????

 

[Cdog71]

Another 3 vote game from Dangerfield and he’ll equal the most ever

 

[Professor Knowall]

So has the weekly “Geelong late out” been announced yet - or is it still too soon?

Chris Scott at it again!

Tommy Stewart late out with 'Gastro'

Employers love that one

 

[STPer18]

Must've drank the SA water.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What's Nicks' game plan going to be now that we can't kick it to Stewart every forward entry?

Confirmed out with gastro

 

[JackFlash]

No Stewart, Henry and Kolo, the backline is looking thin, i can't see them winning this one now?

 

[Delisted]

Geelong by 59 points. Their 21-26 year old are the best.

Yep. The budget defence of Adelaide can't contain Neale, Cameron, Miers etc and Dangerfield resting forward
