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

[Hoops]

Dustin Martin is the best player in the comp it's not even funny! Who else can kick a goal on the run like that without them packing their pants?

Why kick like that? He had space in front of him. Whatever works I guess

 

[kaiserchief13]

You clearly don't know our side then. Dale and Jong have played every game they've been fit for

Did Dogs start winning when they weren't playing?

 

[NaturalDisaster]

We really are in a crazy age of football when a team can dominate a half like Richmond just did and page after page is blaming umpires. 41 to 14 uncontested marks, 10.3 from 21 inside 50s etc.

Don't get me wrong, Grimes flopped and deserves a fine. Cotchin got away with a throw that was obvious on a replay (try catching it in real time at ground level when he did flick his wrist like a handball). But really the margin is just so not due to the umps it's not funny. Richmond would be maybe 5-6 goals up instead of 7 if the umps didn't give them the rub of the green tonight.

Dogs got away with quite a few throws as well... It's one of those things that only ever gets paid 2/10, in all games.

 

[Gaben]

Who is Billy Gowers related too and why do they have so much influence at the club??

 

[Asapartyhat]

An observation from the ground. All the different shades of yellow on Richmond supporters jumpers,scarves and beanies are quite remarkable. Some are decades old based on sponsors etc.

Tends to happen when a team has been around for more than eight seasons.
See my hat.Thats old. Though most members wear the new merch that comes with a membership or fork out for the latest premiership season merch.

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

I'm very suprised with this result atm. Keep it up tigers!

 

[Grockadoc]

I guarantee if they showed footage across the entire game, and any other game for that matter, you'd see the same thing happen multiple times by both teams. They picked this one out because Grimes flopped. Just a terrible free kick regardless of which team you support.

Terrible rule. Correct free kick.

Far more comfortable kick for most modern players, as long as you don’t overkick it, all you can really do is hook it to the near side. Whereas with a drop punt you can spray it either way. So with a snap you can stick it just inside the far goalpost and have a greater margin for error.

Degoey I would've thought.

 

[MADDOGMAN]

Jong, Duryea and Schache are all average to awful players though.

Hey bud, hands off Jong . He is easily the best Asian player to ever play the game ! OK!!!

 

[Wedge McManus]

For all the heat the Dogs are copping, yeh they've been smashed so far tonight, but theyve won 6/7 coming into tonight, have been one of the form teams in the comp.

Please don't introduce logic into this madhouse. It's better if emotion and ill judged reckless comments rule the roost here. We're not changing the name of this place to 'Rational Footy'

 

[Mister Snrub]

Did Dogs start winning when they weren't playing?

Jong is 2-1, Dale is 4-3 but that includes the first two games of the season that were shamefully bad. So positive win rate with both in the team. But nice try

 

[Falcon27]

Degoey I would've thought.

Thanks Bruce and Ch7 commentary team.
Dusty by a mile.

Like Josh Thomas.

 

[JayJ20]

Bulldogs are still too untrustworthy, their third shocker of the year. You cannot be flaky against Richmond.

4th shocker. They were thrashed by Collingwood, St Kilda, Carlton and now Richmond.

 

[MADDOGMAN]

Your outs are not even close to ours. The fact you have to including Schache, Jong etc is pretty embarassing

[EasternTiger]

Considering we're in a heavy training block at the tail end of Big Boys month, the lads look lively.

Don't want to be one of those, but dear oh dear some of those umpiring decisions!

Completely missed Lambert getting pushed in the back there. Oh well.

 

[NonPhixion]

The only stat Gowers had in the 1st half was 2 free kicks against

 

[Hoops]

The worse decision was htb against Daniels he didn't drag it in, never took possession. Tried to hit it out from under him and missed then Soldo dragged it in to Daniels. Technically if Soldo was tackled it should have been a Dog's free

 

[Alesana]

Hey bud, hands off Jong . He is easily the best Asian player to ever play the game ! OK!!!

Peter Bell?

 

[Gaben]

Like Josh Thomas.

Yes

 

[MADDOGMAN]

Omfg nothing in that. fu** this game

Would be nice to just see two teams fight it out without four umpires with limited knowledge of the rules have such an influence. Losses are much easier to accept if that were the case.
Hang in there bro!! GO DOGS

Umpire whinging is the reason game day threads struggle to be fun or interesting.

Schache yes. Other than that you have no clue what you're talking about.

 

[Sentinel]

Terrible rule. Correct free kick.

No, terrible application of umpiring discretion.
