Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 5 - Pies v Freo Fri April 10th 7:40pm AEST/7:10pm (AO)

[Lavender Bushranger]

Man people are still overrating Collingwood.

Tonight's win is nothing more than 4 points for Freo.

Beating Collingwood does not prove anything. They're an ordinary football team. Freo should absolutely have beaten them tonight.

List of AFL games this century where the margin was in single figures for the entire game:

2002 GF: Brisbane & Collingwood
2010 R11: Sydney & Essendon
2026 R5: COLLINGWOOD & FREMANTLE

Crazy stat.

Might have to rewatch the 2002 granny

Yes,low scoring tough footy is entertaining also.

Indeed, but only if there is skill and dare; not risk avoidant slippery dip.

Some uncharacteristic poor disposals by Collingwood tonight.

Pressure does that.

I suspect it's becoming increasingly characteristic.

 

[cactuscall]

Wow. Moron alert.

If they go up by two goals at that point then the game changes.

But yes. Look at final scores and assess the impact that way.

I wasn't being serious, i was playing along with your logic. Of course it changes, that's how moronic your comment was, saying one thing Collingwood doing right for the entire game means they win it.

Why are we still talking about Collingwood like it's 2023?


Collingwood being medicore is not uncharacteristic at all.

 

[hutchy31]

Maybe. I was surprised it was kicked to Frampton in the first place. It was too early to chip it around and in the wrong weather to do it anyway.

That whole last 5 minutes was Collingwood defenders panicking and not executing skills.

But I have heard that Pies fans have been falling out of love with him recently. I suppose the problem with all-or-nothing footballers is when they give you the nothing...

Falling out of love with Elliott? He was poor tonight but has been a great servant over the years. Maybe the cliff has come quickly.

Frampton is barely an AFL standard player imo. It’s poor list management that he’s effectively a must-play player for Collingwood.

 

[Woolly Mammoth]

No. He's just not very good at football.

So he'll fit right in with the modern generation of players

 

[thistimeforsure]

Alex Pierce.
What a great player.

Gotta be up there in the best great player / crap kick of all time discussions

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Collingwood kick straight at the start of the 4th and the game is over.

Jfc.

Maybe Longmuir will be fine if this is the standard Freo supporter.

I recommend it.

 

[LongSerong]

2 wins in two weeks in Adelaide. 4-1, banking wins very nicely which is unlike us

 

[Satan]

Was there a stuff up on degoey concussion?

 

[Osho]

If they had a decent coach I’d be onboard I just don’t trust JL

Let's see how they go this year. I agree, they need to take it on more.

How no definitive footage has emerged of Rocca's shot for goal is baffling. Channel 10's first grand final and let's just say the quality of the coverage improved in subsequent years and, in the end, revealed howlers that led directly to the ARC.

They got the ticker!

Great response. I'm agreeing with you that if something other than what happened happens, the game changes. Glad we agree.

You can jfc all you like.

Umpiring.

Gave himself 3 votes too.

 

[Slime Roy]

Alex Pierce.
What a great player.

Hated him last week. Tonight.

 

[holy diver]

Very enjoyable victory...

 

[Slime Roy]

TOIGHT camera on the coaches 2Night!

 

[crackertiger]

Gather round and watch the Umpires play for Collingwood.....

 

[cactuscall]

Somebody please get McRae some lip balm!

My big takeaway from this game is that Collingwood are great defensively, and tactically they are able to control the game, however their lack of cattle up forward is going to cost them against the best sides. They had the game on the terms for 90% of that game, but Freo only needed a couple ten minute bursts to get ahead because of the Pies inability to score.

This was perfectly said
