Autopsy Autopsy vs Freo - ****

[Caracas]

The last time we got that many I50’s we won by 86.

 

[Shermanator]

We gave them 3 goals from stupid 50m frees and an LDU brain fart in the centre square.

There’s your game right there ladies and gentlemen..

I’ll keep saying it until my thumbs drop off, an internal fine of $10,000 for giving away a dumb 50m penalty and see how many more games we win..

 

[gerry101101]

Same thing was said and happened at our place.

Yep. All across the country people were thinking ‘gee he’s putting together another good one tonight - and he’s no longer making those howlers’ … and then that moment--

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Except it did. It counts as a W in the history books. It counts for 4 points on the ladder.

Pop the champagne.

We limped over the line against the only side that is worse than us.

We get what we accept right?

If that campaigner of a thing in yellow awarded a htb on the goal line, then that 4 goal run.on probably doesn't happen.

Things like that can burn confidence or morale in the team that’s missed out. Even if only a couple of players drop their bundle or lose composure for just a few minutes it can cost goals. Meanwhile, the other team feeds off of the little bonus. Adrenaline levels rise and a run on is possible.

The proportion of the game that’s played above the shoulders is probably equal to the part that’s played below them.

He ain't made it until someone states he reminds them of some superstar elsewhere

He reminded me of a prime Peter Matera running up and down the wing in the last quarter.

 

[berniemccarthy]

Last 7 has been 3 close losses, 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 bad loss

It's competitive. It would be nice if we converted 2 more of those 4 close losses/draws.

And the bad loss we led at half time. Disappointing loss when you have so much possession but FOS clean miss and outrageous no call on Larkey tackle on goal line changes everything.

 

[north_lad]

It makes actual morons bite.

Thank you and perfect.

 

[Hazey1977]

When you lose by 6 yet controlled majority of the game all the “we ****ed up” moments shine brightly:

Daniels/Sheezel 50
LDU fumble on the wing in the last
McDonald handball

There’s more but its milk, cookies and ninnies time.

Whats a ninnie?

 

[Makeshift Park]

It’s not individual losses.

It’s a consistent theme of losses for years on end.

Ok. So, why do you think tonight’s loss was reflective of previous years losses?

 

[Hopper10]

I’m not bothering to read the previous 9 pages. Our forward coach should be frog marched out the door. abysmal structure , year on year on fuvking year. Enough is enough.

You can't possibly pin the loss on FOS. Guy (kid, really) made one blue but has shown poise and footy nous beyond his years all season

 

[KG27]

He's a coward but in space he's actually a lot of fun to watch

No one who steps on to an AFL ground and plays football - pretty stupid and uninformed comment. Yes some display a bit more courage than others - but cowardice ? No

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Inability to convert dominant periods of a game into scoring.

Allowing a side to pile on multiple goals in a short space of time.

Inability to punish turnover.

Consistent themes.

 

[Spud11]

How long are we going to keep saying the same things?

That was my point.

Nothing moronic about it.

But failing to understand the point of my post? That’s some unparalleled drooling, knuckle-dragging ignorance if I ever saw it.

Have a nice day.

 

[Skarrz]

Jesus there’s some melts here tonight, yeah it sucks that we lost, but for years we couldn’t even tackle. Clear evidence of progress there tonight, shame we lost

I'm honestly just tired of people picking fights in these threads and acting like they're some footy genius for being like SEE, WE'RE STILL BAD!!!!

 

[Possession]

I would love for the progress to result in a scalp for once. We've been competitive, but this is all echoing the fabled post-bye era of last year a bit too much for me. Really need to take that next step.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Inability to convert dominant periods of a game into scoring.

We came back from a five goal deficit.

Allowing a side to pile on multiple goals in a short space of time.

Is this a realistic expectation? Prospective grand finalists do this too..

Inability to punish turnover.

Yeah, still some more work to do. But I thought we did better on this tonight than we have previously. Normally it’s scoring from stoppage or bust for us.

 

[Freomaniac]

Pavlich doesn't even know we won last week

I love Pavlich to death as a dockers player. But at least he is a neutral commentator rather than a biased one

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Loved that, a 300 game veteran knowing where a player needs to be asks his AA key forward to lead at him, he proceeds to want the easy ** goal out the back and Luke just goes ** it - I’ll finish it myself

While the ball sails over Larkeys head, he has got his arms out asking Parker why he didn't kick it to him garbage leader

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

We came back from a four goal deficit.

Is this a realistic expectation? Prospective grand finalists do this too..

Yeah, still some more work to do. But I thought we did better on this tonight than we have previously. Normally it’s scoring from stoppage or bust for us.

We didn’t come back. We lost.

Prospective grand finalists may do it occasionally. We do it every week.

We kicked 1.3 from turnover in the first half. Diabolically shit.

Commiserations to North Melbourne. They were unlucky.

I strangely knew North Melbourne were a chance tonight.

I said this to ferball and TheKanga on the main board....

I actually put $20 on North Melbourne at $6 tonight.

I did the same thing and put $20 on North at $6 In round 2 of 2023 as well. That got me $120. LoL
