AFL Autopsy RND 10: Down to the Giants

[jmoo wan]

we should probably stop trying to run the clock down when we are leading at half time

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Is anybody really surprised?

Five goals up. There was nothing surer than us folding and losing.

i ******* looked at my wife in the eyes at 3q time and said watch.

we will lose by less then a goal.

 

[84859300]

I have no words - heck the AFL

 

[Mootsy]

McKenna has to be dropped. His beyond stupid rush of blood was the difference.

also, that Ridley and Saad are our only players with any sort of poise and football confidence.

 

[JayJ20]

I'm not even mad. We're simply ordinary. Good teams usually put sides away with that type of lead.

Umpiring is also BS every single week. Unless we make a fuss, nothing will change.

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

Draper will be very good.
Many passengers that coaches don’t have the minerals to drop.
We’re a pathetic onfield side backed by weak coaching staff and a rotten front office. We’re reaping what we’ve sewn on and off field. We are destined for bottom 4 and won’t win any of the next three matches.

 

[Maxabillions]

Ward won the Oscar tonight

 

[Drummer_19]

The side of Townsend's head has grown a watermelon on it. Good umpiring to call play on when in that instance when it happened.

 

[KenGaveUsWhatHeDeserved]

Respectful intrusion on your board.

For context, I was rooting for GWS, but that was not a free. I don't know how they called that. Just baffling.

Anyway, season is unlikely to finish

 

[schmuttt]

Abominable decision.

 

[ghostdog]

McKenna has to be dropped. His beyond stupid rush of blood was the difference.

That's a bit much. There were numerous dumb decisions, both ours and umpires.

 

[ant555]

Well that sucked. They had a decent crack but they rally should not have given up that lead. Umpiring was crap.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Pathetic umpiring,

But that loss goes back to Tippa passing it off from 35m out. He kicks to McKernan who of course misses from 25m out because he's a ****ing donkey, and we didn't get another look in. Shocking decision. His unselfishness actually hurts us.

 

[Ambrosia]

Don’t really get the blaming of the umpires. We got the rough end of the stick but we threw the game away

 

[oldandslow]

Are we all really surprised? No killer instinct. I’m not disappointed because I expected it.

 

[CBombers17]

Thought they tried hard for 4 quarters. Better defensively for the first half. Some good signs.

 

[gillon]

Let's be real, we weren't gonna win that. But having the CHANCE to win taken away from us is bullshit.

Why would an umpire pay decision like that off a guess?

 

[Lore]

Thank goodness I don't have to watch anymore football this weekend.

Our next game is Wednesday anyway. Condensed fixture becoming a reality for us.

 

[Runk]

Callan Ward is a cheat
Walla, just take the hecken shot
Cutler is a dead set spud
Umpires are morons

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

There's precious few that can hold their heads high after that last quarter. What a shitshow.

Zero pressure in our forward line tonight. McKenna was barely on screen. No idea what's wrong with Tippa but he's a shadow of what he used to be.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

there is an endless list of the reason why we a middling team and will be a middling team for the foreseeable future.

So many passengers and nowhere near hard enough.

Pathetic.

 

[fairbump_playon]

I feel like everyone but us hates Essendon so much since the saga

McKenna - so so stupid
Ridley broken ribs
Townsend fractured cheekbone

 

[Pweter]

Can the mods please ban anyone blaming the umps from the board?

We do too much stupid s**t both with ball in hand and without.

Sigh.

 

[biglaycock]

Bloody hell, some really hard calls need to be made.

That was a ******* disgusting flop by Cement head.

Cutler, Tippa, McKernan, Stewart all pissweak, absolute passengers

 

[nylexbandit]

McKenna has to be dropped. His beyond stupid rush of blood was the difference.

Yep that plus demanding to be played forward - give him what he wants/needs and send him home. Has been great for us but close to last straw
