Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 9 - Dogs v Tigers Wed July 29th 7:10pm AEST (Metricon) Match Highlights in OP

[Chinacats]

Dogs are good if they play a team higher on the ladder. Otherwise bog average.

 

[Chinacats]

We were ok but it was more the Dogs being awful. They had a night off. Stuff happens.

I am just happy we got a win cause the new few weeks are tough with all these kids.

The kids are doing very well. Depth envy!

 

[Americanpies]

How is Gowers not dropped? Did they not see him almost throw the game last week single handedly?

I'm going to ask this question again.. this time AFTER the game.

 

[Accepted 04]

You stupid ignorant w***er!!
obviously a pathetic millennial...
to bring race into a joke about the obviously only “Taiwanese” player in the comp. Being called the best Asian player in the game . Pull your f’ing head in you Tool.
and please if this offends, moderators feel free to boot me out.
some people need to get a sense of humour. Stop pulling this bullshit race card. Jong is a great player. End of story.

Calm down buddy.

 

[Carringbush2010]

No Walters and Cox as full back? I think there will be a response although Fyfe is back so that makes it more even.

Fyfe and Walters to tear us a new one, it's Collingwood we play teams into form.

 

[Americanpies]

This was a really bad loss for the Bulldogs in my opinion. This is not the same Richmond team that won the flags. They have a lot of talent out, and a lot of young guys and a few back ups in. Am I the only one who thinks the Dogs should not have gone down the way they did to this team? Seeing the score, and that Richmond is the winner it's easy to look on the surface and say.. Yeah Richmond are a great team, they won 2 flags in the past 3 years and this is a normal score for them. But... going deeper, this is definitely NOT that Richmond team. The Dogs had enough of their own talent on the field to at least be competitive. I wouldn't be surprised to see Richmond win in a close one, but a blow out I just think it's really pathetic of the Dogs to allow it.

I saw a Dogs team tonight basically do nothing. Especially at the start when the game got blown out, there was no intensity at all. Richmond players just freely marking and running down the ground unopposed - I couldn't believe the lack of defensive pressure from the Bulldogs. Just bizarre... Richmond didn't really need to do much to win, just turn up.

Beating up on weak teams isn't that impressive

You did it last weekend.

Not sure what game you watched................. Whenever the dogs had ball they suffocated the dogs to turnover, classic tiges. Whenever the tiges had it, time and space to do as they pleased, classic tiges.

Sure a lot of players out but the system only varied when they played possession across d50, make no mistake tiges best game this year. Sure not at optimum and certainly dogs looked all at sea in defence and in the phone box.

Yeah I think they're closer than what we saw but I think your underselling the tiges a bit.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Am I the only one who thinks the Dogs should not have gone down the way they did to this team?

Yeah I think that's a fair call. This 22 isn't capable of getting it done every week.

Dogs never showed up tonight, for some inexplicable reason. They've had the wood over us for quite a while and the only time we beat them in the last half dozen, we fell across the line.

That's Dogs and North who monstered us in 2019 and produced polar opposite performances this year. On the flip side we caught Hawthorn and GWS on their good nights.

 

[tiger_tough]

Eggmolesse~Smith, close to the best kick in the league.

Yeah he's an exceptional kick. Bit soft and poor defensively though. I used to think the same of Houli though so fingers crossed

It's downright scary to know what would have happened if you had all those missing players in. Could have been the first 100+ belting in the short quarters version of the game!

I'm not taking anything away from Richmond either with my comment. There is a hell of a lot of depth there and good players coming through. Tigers should be set up for years to come.

Yes, I agree with that - Richmond's defense was good. But the Dogs defence was just horrible... they just left way too much open space and time. I felt like I was just watching Richmond walk it up to the 50 and bomb it into the forward, with the Dogs only contest being in the back 50. I guess Bevo has no plan B, because that same pattern just went on and on all night. There seemed to be no change made on the Bulldogs side to attempt to win the game. imo it was a strange performance. Usually when the fast start happens, the team that is behind change things around and step up their pressure a bit, but that just didn't happen at all.

VicBased why don’t you say something instead of hiding behind the laugh emoji? You’re just proving that you’re terrified. It’s ok, go and hug your teddy

Words escape me so i had to laugh. As your Richmond counterpart said "put a lid on it". The Bullies are only in the eight through beating a handful of easybeats. I am trying to save you from embarrassing yourself.

"Petracca is the best player in the league"

Dustin Martin: "hold my beer"

Haha we’ll see. Far from embarassed and your post reeks of someone who is shitting themselves. Let’s hope your win against the pies wasn’t a fluke

 

[blckcaviar]

Carlton beat them by 50 3 weeks ago. Weren't in that good form that day..

A bit of pressure and there handball game breaks down.

I mean, Carlton only lost to Port by 3 points, so I wouldn't consider us so bad this year

 

[Tigers_fan24]

‘Wreaks’.

No...

 

[Bald]

How does this sound for a trade opportunity. Any club can have Billy Gowers. We'll even give you our 2021 first round pick as well. In return we ask for nothing. Heck we'll even pay him.

 

[Alesana]

Ignorant about what ya bellend?
New to this convo obviously?

Forgot to take your meds today didn't you?

 

[tony__montana]

Good to beat a bogey side and a side I really rate. Best we’ve looked all season for mine and 1st time we’ve looked good going fwd.

Topsy Turvey season where all sides have and will put in some shockers

In a year where we might have lacked hunger, getting in some fresh faces and enthusiasm has been pivotal to our revival. The injuries were a blessing in disguise. They aren't to the level of the current older brigade, except maybe Balta who looks like he could be anything based on his size and athletic traits, but they should be good enough to support us for a few years while Dusty, Vlas, Lynch, Grimes, etc are still there.
