Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Bulldogs

[La Dolce Vita]

Big negative for me is the AFL continuing to allow the Bulldogs to disgrace the game with their 'handballing'. Watching the replay now and the throws are just so blatant yet they never get called.

The two handed throws over their heads are laughable

 

[Marlin01]

No. I stand by everything I post. Don't care what u think actually.......

So you don't think the Eagles will make the 8?

 

[tigger_ferret]

+ Masten with his don't argue. Seems to have improved his contested game this year

Need to draft more Masten type players. None of those SPP types

 

[kranky al]

Well said mate. I thought dogs got away with a couple of dodgy handballs last night. But overall their handball skills are unreal and it is brilliant to watch. Shame some opposition supporters cant give them any credit, it is obvious they have put an enormous amount of work into their handball skills.

I can appreciate that - but at one stage i saw three shovel throws in a row in a couple of seconds - i dont blame the dogs for that i blame the umps

Masten was really good tonight
Hurn best game for the year but I wish he would kick to himself from full back more often and gain 70+ metres rather than kick 10 metres to the pocket

Hurn cant accurately kick much more than 55 these days

+ some of our kicks into F50 were brilliant. Jk to vardy, fraser to JK. Lecca to JK.

- they were let down by poor finishes though

I thought about Masten a bit last night and this is what I came up with - old man strength.

He was obviously a good inside player as a junior but was just too small at AFL level. Now, at 28 and with ~10 preseasons, there are enough opponents in their early 20s that even he can push around. Couple that with some other stuff that he does well like run forever and you've got yourself a pretty solid player.

I dont think he can kick it much more than 55 total.

 

[who gives a]

Had we kicked straight game over and we win by 30 plus points. Dont rate the dogs and they were helped by the umps.
Happily take the 4 points and move along to next week

3rd straight interstate loss for the Dogs

Don't worry the media won't mention it..Vic teams only need to perform at home

In fairness they won when it really counted.

Biggest +ve for me was that was probably the most even performance across the team since 2015.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Quiet 2nd half or not, i saw Shuey running his ass off several times to present in the last quarter only to get burnt by his teammates.

Darling the moron. I remember he burnt Shuey sprinting into space completely, instead chose to boot it into the corridor and turn it straight over.

I punted the cat when that happened

 

[whatis]

I was a bit negative yesterday but on replay we were hands down the better team.

I like some of the stuff that Duggan does and he is super quick at getting back on his feet. McInnes really good.

Starting to find a lot more contributors finally; winning contests. Have almost forgotten about that Hawthorn game now and if we can win the next two in particular I'll be beaming.

 

[mehow2g]

As soon as the first bounce went down I knew we were going to win was never worried throughout the game, JK made it looks worse than it was but that wont happen again.

We still haven't clicked into our potential which I have been waiting for at least 5 years, when some of our gun players start being confident and composed like Mitchell that's when we will be good... If that ever happens, however you can see confidence builiding in a few of our players, Masten, Sheed, Redden and Duggan once they start believing 100% like Yeo is at the moment no fans will complain about skills and speed, confidence = skills and speed.

Great win.

Jesus how cringeworthy is BT's segment in the clubrooms after the game?

You can tell pretty much every single player doesn't want anything to do with him, the whole thing is a pointless waste of time.


"Whheeellinghaaaaam" did make me lol though.

Haha it was so bad, saved somewhat by Butts who was pretty funny, Hurn looked like he wanted to punch him.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Love BT, come at me haters.

 

[Biggie]

Love BT, come at me haters.

+1

 

[bombard]

Love BT, come at me haters.

What do you call the intersection of a Venn diagram of Perth fans and BT supporters?

******* unhinged.

 

[BartBart]

We need a BT translator...

Footy candy = tinea

 

[2006_Eagles]

I thought about Masten a bit last night

 

[illwizard]

Love BT, come at me haters.

Haha infinitely better than Baz. Think BT and someone else pulled Baz up on his stupid comments a couple times too which was nice.

 

[QL 21]

Out of West Coast players, Masten racked up the following:

• #2 for Contest Possessions (11)
• #1 for Clearances (5)
• #1 for Stoppages (5)
• #4 for Disposal Efficiency (88.9 - #1 out of the midfielders)
• #3 for Inside 50s (4)

Say what you want haters, but he had another quality game and has been good for us this year.

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Thought Sheed was good last night, but got a real shock we he had his jumper of as he has a very very sloppy rig.
