Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 6 - Tigers v Swans Sun July 12th 3:35 AEST (Gabba)

[BlueandGoldforever]

Unfortunately, given the way the game is being played with multiple players from each side behind the ball, I can’t see the Swans making up the deficit.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Don’t know where Sydney’s next goal is going to come from. They just don’t look like scoring. Richmond little better.
There’s been a lot of horrible games already this season.

 

[RAPPA]

Martin dropping the ball in the tackle. Play on.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

I know the conditions are difficult but this game is putrid.

 

[Shade]

6 goals in 3 quarters is ****ing junior level shit.

disgusting from both.

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

What is this garbage?
Yeah I know we were abysmal Friday night. These two are making it look like we had a working game plan

 

[NonPhixion]

This is officially the worst game I’ve ever seen. I can’t watch anymore

 

[Dez!]

Silly Parker only Dusty is allowed to fend people off by the face.

 

[base615]

They call that one but ignored a Richmond high fend off in the first half.

 

[eaglespremiers]

You just know if Parker was Martin then the umpires would've waved on the high fend off.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

You can land a plane on Martins head

 

[Sttew]

Woeful game of football. 6 goals in 3 quarters. 2 since 1Q

They already did

 

[juss]

Boring game. Most of AFL 2020 has been.

 

[donaldknuth]

Is there a single team luckier than Richmond? Half their team is out, and of all the teams they get this week, it's the one team with even worse injury problems, no ruckman, no forward line, lose Kennedy in the first quarter and the umpires are siding with Richmond.

 

[The 747]

Agree I'm in lockdown with nothing to do but **** it, I'm turning this off and going to vacuum.

I know things like zones that restrict players of certain 'positions' going in them has been one idea floated to improve the state of the game... I don't think that would work if only that it would be so hard to officiate. And surely it just complicates an already complicated game.

I don't really want to see further rule changes. The game is already far enough away from what I enjoyed in decades past.

Variations to the interpretation of current rules just creates more confusion and backlash from the fans.

So, the only thing that feels like it could make a difference while making little change to the actual game is to reduce the numbers of players on the field. 16 per side. Interchange to 6 players - capped rotations.

I've resisted the idea of making any change up until this point... But this is goddamn awful.

Swans are just trying to not lose it for as long as possible and hope we stuff up for 10mins then pounce. So far it’s mission accomplished but it’s what’s causing this game to be so dull.

Getting sick of these type of matches. To many of them every week now! bunch of fools chasing and fumbling a ball gets boring very quickly. coaches and players need to grow some balls and stop being so conservative and take the bloody game on ffs!

what’s that saying from Peter Garrett.. It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees...
to many teams are living on their knees.

Richmond aren’t helping the cause. Both teams are dull.

Concur,

Not sure the rain can be blamed, a very dour spectacle this and the amount of turnovers/missed targets by foot is just laughable.

Related, remember the days when a turnover by handball was such a rare occurrence it would be discussed and replayed several days later?
Whereas it's become so frequent now, it's usually forgotten about minutes later...

We aren’t helping by being sloppy further forward. But I don’t see much difference between how we are trying to play now and how we have for the last 3 years.
