Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 3 -Bombers v North Sat March 28th 7:35pm AEDT (Marvel)

[TheUnicorn]

Really??

Larkey missed set shot and then Simpkin spraying away on his left and the margin would have been nearly 50 with 15 mins to play

Good effort from the bombers to fight back but they were never winning that.

Essendon had more inside 50s and six more behinds, but hey, North missed two goals, lmao. If you really think we couldn’t have pinched that, you’re kidding yourself. Nobody is saying we deserved to win or were the better team in any way, I’m simply saying they probably wouldn't be too happy with that win, expecially how they finished which is a known issue for them.

 

[TheUnicorn]

I think the Bombers are off bottom, percentage went above Tigers

Bombers have the harder task next week though, Bulldogs at Marvel rather than Port at the G.

Doggies will beat us by 200pts

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Took us to hit rock bottom for north to finally best us well done lols

 

[Red Bull]

Jesus, how stoned is Clarko at the moment

He’s not well


But he never was …

 

[TheKanga]

Ill take the win, winning ugly is part of footy sometimes.
We have lost so much ill take any wins we can get.

 

[TheKanga]

I can't believe that North even celebrated that win, they should be embarrassed.

Your win against Richmond was worse

 

[Rich01]

FOS was a positive for north tonight

 

[TheUnicorn]

FOS was a positive for north tonight

He did a great job, got plenty of it himself, and he’s still just a baby!

You haven’t hit rock bottom yet.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

You haven’t hit rock bottom yet.

15 losses in a row we might not win a game and go winless if that's not rock bottom I don't know what it

 

[Red Bull]

FOS was a positive for north tonight

Looks a gun

 

[Rich01]

Looks a gun

It’s strange in a world where we want our own players to be better than others but I really enjoy watching the top three of the 2024 draft. Each excellent in their own way.

 

[Hollow Knight]

My eyes bled watching this game.

Did you wipe it on anyone?

I can enjoy all the good players from all Clubs...well maybe not Hawthorn.

FOS is certainly good to watch. Plays the right kinda footy.

 

[Red Bull]

15 losses in a row we might not win a game and go winless if that's not rock bottom I don't know what it

Stay tuned.
Welsh will be given the nod to carry out the task he’s been given in due course …

 

[TheUnicorn]

15 losses in a row we might not win a game and go winless if that's not rock bottom I don't know what it

And still won’t get the best kid in the draft, or even the second best.

 

[voorhees]

rather ugly win for the roos
but 4 points is 4 points
And now the pressure mounts down in essendon land.

 

[fusion]

I can't believe that North even celebrated that win, they should be embarrassed.

When we've only won 3 games a year on average for thr last 6 years, we haven't much choice.

Crowd around me was genuinely laughing st both teams. Deplorable skills by both - if they merged, still wouldn't have a side that could make finals.

 

[fusion]

Simpkin's post-skipper (and post-failed trade request) attitude is notably awful

I hope he's not in the best 23 by season's end for North's sake, you've got all these hungry and ultra-talented youngsters and then you've got this senior player making deflating and lazy decisions all game long.

99% of our supporters hope he's not in the team next week, let alone by year's end.

Simpkin's post-skipper (and post-failed trade request) attitude is notably awful

He wears a headband though, surely that counts for something??

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

To be honest Essendon losing is something so common and so frequent that just isn't a big deal anymore at this stage.

The list is obviously really poor but when is that thin ice Brad Scott is skating on finally going to crack?

 

[Rod Stroker]

So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all,
Join in the chorus, North Melbourne's on the ball.

We'll be premiers, just you wait and see.

Just not in our lifetime.

 

[Rod Stroker]

McKercher
Sheezel
FOS

And Wardlaw may be the best of the lot, he just needs a run at it

Colby wasn't great tonight. Wardlaw only 50% TOG.

But without FOS, we don't win. Kinda sad that the result hinges on a second year kid, playing on the oppos best.

 

[Rod Stroker]

The kangaroo on that jumper looks morbidly obese.

someone needs to explain to me why we had to wear a clash jumper, given blue and white can't be confused with red and black

 

[Rod Stroker]

North just stop playing when they get up a few goals. Someone else will get it done

The someone else is called West Coast, the worst team of the last 3 years
