AFL Autopsy RND 7: Draw Against The Pies

[TheWeapon]

Great effort smashed them in the contest and out of the centre. Both sides had chances late. As others have said percentage no longer a factor with the extra 2 points

 

[Schnitzengruben]

That's a crazy take. You'd rather lose to the reigning premiers than draw? I'll take the 2 points and take out our poor percentage any day.

Crazy? Lmao. I'd rather a 50/50 at the win, yeah. A draw is a crap spectacle and most of the time useless in the race for finals.

 

[Yoda_]

why are the commentators going on about Elliot not scoring? he didn't even take the mark

That's a crazy take. You'd rather lose to the reigning premiers than draw? I'll take the 2 points and take out our poor percentage any day.

I'd rather win.

And we had more chances late to do so.

2 points still good and a % nullifier still good. Reckon this hurts the Pies more than us in the grand scheme of things. We'll take a lot out of that when it comes to confidence for a developing side and hopefully continue to roll on.

Cracking game of footy

Two rucks was a MISTAKE.

Langers would have kicked that 90% of the time

Lipinski kicked 3.3 and 2 x OOTF could have won the game on his own boot.

Pies kicking 6.11 in the first half cost Pies the game.

Bombers gave away some easy goals on turnover

Laverde NEVER AGAIN

 

[Foxx]

Moore really annoyed Merrett with that elongated speech. Merrett told the lady beside him to forget his own speech.

Our 50/50 was when Langford had his shot. It was over then mate. Let it go.

 

[Mootsy]

our short game was impressive.

Does that mean we won?

yep, got the silverware

 

[Schnitzengruben]

"You're not happy but you're not disappointed, it's a sinking feeling right now" - exactly right Martin.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Can't fault the effort across the board. It's the standard that needs to be set

 

[Lore]

I still think they should play both songs at the ground in a draw

Home team first

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Our 50/50 was when Langford had his shot. It was over then mate. Let it go.

I'm over the result, but looking forward. The draw should be removed.

 

[outersanctum]

Thought Langford was going to slot that and give us a famous win.. but not to be. I am not disappointed (beyond obviously wanting the win!) because that is the first time this season we have really played 4 quarters of tough footy against a top 4 level team.

If we could find a way to stop gifting the oppo at least 2-3 goals from just pure dumb kicks across goal we will be a dangerous team.

I thought we were top heavy before the game and Wright/Draper didn't do anything that makes me change my mind that we were too tall.

Well done to Zachy on the medal AND I loved seeing how hurt the boys were.. finally we have some competitive beasts in this team. Hopefully this is just a stepping stone to bigger things but from where we were under a month ago.. huge turnaround. Well done bombers!

 

[JayJ20]

Durham is exactly what we've needed for over a decade. Seriously impressive.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Good effort to fight our way back into it when the pies looked like they would run over the top of us in the second. Pre-Edge Essendon would have crumbled at that point 9 times out of 10 but we kept cracking in and gave ourselves a shot at winning.

I think if we maintained our early season composure in front of goal we'd have won it handily but the last few weeks we've contracted a case of the yips which is not ideal.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Scotty telling Martin go forward and him kicking that goal + assisting another right after clearly showed Martin's true position and damage for the side. Hopefully when we find a suitable HB we can drop the experiment and have more of that from him in the future.

 

[Zach Package]

Reckon Collingwood would be disappointed with that, therefore you take it and run.

 

[justlookingaround]

Draper's best game for the year.

 

[Nicholas61]

Mate he is huge no matter what

The bravery he showed in the air, time and again - no one was braver. Then there is his skill and run. Our bottom few really hurt us, we have the top end.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Shocked Langford missed, wouldn't trust many more than him with that shot

Agreed. By same token you’d expect Mihocek to get more than two out on the full from his kicks in the last too…

 

[maskmcgee]

I was sort of hoping Langford would kick a point instead of a goal, as I feared having it go back to the centre would result in Collingwood going inside 50 and winning the game.

 

[Megabattimus]

I'll take a draw.

Hope Jones is okay.

Nah, elite players should be able to take their chances in the massive time already allotted. If neither can't, then neither deserve a win. You're giving them an out. Take a rest mate.
