Autopsy Swans Vs Bombers, R8 2019

[Banyo Bloods]

They wearing long sleeves today the Hawks?

No idea unless Clarko has relaxed that rule now that he is cuddling players on the bench

 

[Swansujelly]

I think that’s a good assessment mate. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an Aliir fan. Hate to see him lose that marking weapon he has though.

Not if he's dropping them

 

[caesar88]

Aliir can't win

Defend more, stop taking marks

Start taking more marks please!!

been one of our best this year

 

[kickthething]

i think Mark Stevens Jon Ralph and other people owned the goal post, they seem very upset Rampe climbed it

Jon Ralph ...... he just makes me smile with his total irrelevance.

Robinson talking about integrity in the footy world has about as much credibility as the Pope renouncing child sex abuse in the Catholic church.

Just me or feels weird having a female umpire out there?

At least she doesn't sound like a little girl

 

[kelpie_X]

I don't know if its the red wine and even though I'm in the other camp on this topic sometimes you are quite funny.

That's why I love him

 

[kelpie_X]

His profession as a pharmacist gave him an edge in the 2006 GF

Some of their boys did like taking those orange masking pills. Just ask Sampi re his 21st.

wonder what michael tuck would have done

I think he was playing to instructions. It was probably a safe option to punch the ball clear of the pack and their dangerous crumbers in Fantasia, Smith and McDonald-Tipungwuti rather than risk a spilled mark and the ball falling to the base of the pack. In the past few games this year we have given up a lot of goals off spilled marks and turnovers in our defensive 50. Essendon is a team with a small forward line that scores off forward pressure and turnovers, especially with no Daniher. Aliir was deliberately spiking the ball towards the boundary line and flanks. Good aggressive defensive football.

I thought exactly the same at the time. There were so many punches that he normally would have marked, that there had to be an instruction to clear the congestion immediately.

 

[kelpie_X]

Bloody Adam Hunter. What a tool. Hated him.

He had a ******* rat head

 

[MC Bad Genius]

He had a ******* rat head

A weaselfaced arse or an arsefaced weasel?

 

[S120]

A weaselfaced arse or an arsefaced weasel?

*drunkenly considers for a second* a weasel probably.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Pure and utter dross weasel. Have thought of that side as "West Coast Weasels" since 2005.

Bombers fan cap firmly on then.

The sooner the Herald clear him and Ralph out the better they’ll get part of their reputation back.

Thank you.

after 5 years I haven't reached this level yet, but give it time you never know

One thing all the Rampe talk has taken the spotlight off is Blakey’s impression of Dean Towers that went straight to the Bombers....sheesh, fortunately a lesson learnt without much damage being done.

Yeah, that was heart in the mouth stuff that. Presumably he just tried to kick it as far down the line as possible rather than aiming for the pack?

Respectfully disagree. Slobbo perfectly personifies Murdoch.

They had a reputation? Was it good?

Rush of blood to the head. His logic was sound (get it as far away from the Bombers f50 as possible), but an experienced player knows sometimes in those situations it’s better to do the illogical.

One thing I didn't see much of last night was players handing off to other players under more pressure. It was fantastic to see. Our decision making was much improved last night!

Except for Millsy. I think he broke a record for number of times he handballed to a teammate in trouble. He's been shocking with playing hot potato this year, it's been very perplexing.
