Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 7 - GWS v Dogs Sat April 26th 7:35pm AEST (Manuka)

[RAPPA]

For all the hate he gets, I really do rate and like Bevo

 

[Mr Meow]

Same ol' Walshy.

He marches to his own beat. He doesn't play the media game, and they make him pay for it.

What did he pay?

 

[windyhill]

Normally stringer kicks these junk time ones.

 

[windyhill]

They actually started playing better since Darcy left. Kept kicking it to him too often.

You'd rather he was there though.

"Jake has struggled to have impact"
Nice way to put it Bucks.

Deserves to be hall of fame purely for his attack on Tom Morris

 

[Bulldog1954]

Giants have become the Dogs bitch, 8 out of the last 9.

My man crush on Bont has no boundaries

Hard to know where to rate him. Flag coach, got them on top in another grand final and they lost to a side who on paper had every right to beat them.

Generally been in or around the mix but also have underwhelmed at times. He’s broken even.

As a bloke I like him I think he’s a genuinely decent guy, cares about his players, he’s in a helpless situation with one obvious figure at his club and can’t do a thing about it no matter how much he wants to. His players and the club obviously like him or they would have moved on by now given how much they have sort of trodden water since 2016 without going forward or backward. Hes ok.

Bailed up Damo at the Brownlow one year (apparently)

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Doggies have everything u could ask for for a tilt at the flag. Best player in the comp in the Bont, a deep midfield around him, versatility in Freijah, Kennedy, Richards, Treloar and Williams. Star KPF with handy second stringer in Naughton. Elite HBF, decent KPDs and some handy role players to apply pressure.

Really the only thing they're missing is Weightman who should hopefully be back after the bye.

A genuine crumber would be nice. We're playing Dolan who is raw as hell.

We were also desperate for a small defender but Cleary has come from nowhere, and JJ is back.

Still question marks over Tm English in finals.

Someone has to hold these grubs accountable, I'm all for it.

Don't know enough about NRL but AFL seems to have a plethora of flogs in the media

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I'm not convinced Kingsley is a good coach. Has no answers if the orange tsunami doesn't work.

That said, the Dogs are looking impressive. Bevo has done a great job this year given their injuries.

 

[Iamspock]

Flopping has decreased by 50% at the Dogs since he's been out

Well, clearly that is a disadvantage to us, my point stands.

Their defence is a bit hit and miss. Some of their keys elsewhere like English and Naughton are unreliable types for finals. They could also do with one or two more quality small forwards.

The issue for the Dogs hasn't been talent for a while now though. They are quite inconsistent across seasons.

While I agree on the flakiness of English and Naughton, their list is much more stacked than years previous everywhere else. Harmes, Kennedy and Freijah as supporting cast give them easily the most stacked and deepest midfield in the comp.

Bont
Treloar
Richards
Liberatore
Kennedy
Freijah
Sanders
Harmes

Williams and Davidson on the wings.

If JUH pulled his head out his arse they'd be seriously hard to beat when playing at their best.

Elevated to legend status for bailing up Damien Barrett in the toilets on Brownlow night.

 

[Canberra Pear]

Based on this crowd, should Canberra get an AFL team or should GWS relocate? Western Sydney is a fail.

The Giants aren't moving anywhere.

Canberra gets good crowds because we love AFL, not the Giants. We got similar crowds hosting North, the Dees and Bulldogs before them.

Give us a new team and all the exciting lead up that Tassie are currently getting.

 

[F6Typhoon]

Is it the broadcast quality or are the lights at the ground dimming/fading a bit??

More to the point, Who’s Buckley been waffling away to all night? Has he accidentally left his mike on?

 

[weltschmerz]

Jaques looks a class above in the VFL.
