Autopsy AFL 2020 R2 - Sydney V Essendon Sun 14th 3:35pm AEST (SCG)

You're right - the umpires should be given a quota of 30 free kicks per game to pay and they should be distributed out evenly

Yep, that was exactly my point.

Kennedy seems to get the Neddy Smith green light in Sydney.

Some of his throws today wouldn’t look out of place in the NBA

 

[The King!]

Yeah but if you watched the game you could see Sydney got double amount of frees even when they were quite aggressive with their tackling. Not the first time I have witnessed that either. Happens every 2nd game in Sydney for Sydney

ha ha yeah we got a good run today, first time for everything, check the stats

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

It's not how many frees were given it ones that could effect the outcome of the game Sydney received a few of those when Essendon had all the momentum. I was waiting for a BS free in the square to give the Swans the lead and win.

 

[Blind Turn]

Henie is a much better player when he’s not trying to be such a high flyer

Good player a younger version of Richmonds Prestia

The major difference for me is that McGrath has the untapped agility that, once he melds it with maturing composure, will make him a unique proposition.

It's a massive myth. Swans the AFL darlings! Sydney have been sodomised by the umpires, no lube, for years. But yesterday they got looked after.

Adam Saad

Should have been AA last year what a bloody good player saved Essendon multiple times with his defensive work.

Every one raves on how good he is offensively but don’t acknowledge his defensive work one of the best small defenders in the league

 

[Ambrosia]

Good player a younger version of Richmonds Prestia

Don’t really see the comparison but he’s around the level of player I expect McGrath to reach.

 

[pazza]

The lesson from yesterday if not most matches is to get the quick start every quarter. You only have 16 minutes to play with so make the most of it.
