Autopsy AFL 2021 First Semi Final - Lions v Bulldogs Sat September 4th 7:20 EST (Gabba)

[PieLebo87]

If either Cats or Dogs get up next week, they’re winning the flag. The losing QF gets a week off pre-GF and the winning QF team plays once in 3 and a 1/2 weeks.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Who do the umps usually support in Bulldogs vs Melbourne matches? Probably two of the most protected teams in the league.

A Bulldogs Geelong or Bulldogs Melb granny will be interesting the umpires won’t know what to do!

 

[Lampers]

Yeah very aware of our slow backline. Birchall should be done, and hopefully Answerth can get back to developing. Coleman just had his best game running off the back flank too so that was promising.

Coleman definitely stood out, just needs to adjust a tiny bit to the speed or try and bite off a little less on occasions as he got himself in a bit of trouble here and there.

Looks promising if he cleans that up which he should with a few more games under his belt.

I'd love the Dogs to beat the "Nobodies" next week, but i doubt it will happen in Adelaide....Brisbane had their chances tonight and certainly got the final QTR fumbles...Dogs will be hard-pressed to beat the team with no AFL legacy.

 

[Iamspock]

2 from 2 for the umps in bulldogs finals, well done to them for that. Be interesting if they try for 3 in a row

Says the Geelong supporter

Thank god for Richmond, or it would have been a three peat.

I love the fact you are highlighting the final you beat us in the year we went on to win the flag. Priceless.

 

[adogsfan5]

Thank god for Richmond, or it would have been a three peat.

And yet they got smashed by the umpires in all of those years they won flags.

ItS aLL AbOUt ThE UmPIRES

 

[Schulzenfest]

Lot of deflection going on here. Just admit you're due some decisions to go against you for once.

Literally more than double the next highest team.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Very fair argument that Cameron should’ve got a deliberate call for him in the last minute the way that it’s been umpires this year. Dogs player soccered it over from 20m out

Except Melbourne v Adelaide earlier in the year

 

[LBJ6]

Just a reminder that Melbourne's recent form was to win after the siren against a side we could have beaten by 15 goals the following week if we had kicked accurately/ umpires hadn't been flogs.

You’re claiming inaccuracy PREVENTED you from smashing Geelong when Geelong kicked 5.13? Lol.
Geelong kicked 12.5 against us and the game was at Kardinia Park. Different kettle of fish.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Says the Geelong supporter

Make that 9 from the last 9 dogs finals they’ve won the free kick count

 

[PenfoldsFan]

Getting worried?
Bonts goal disallowed was the worst decision, then Calebs deliberate out of bounds crap. And all the times the Lions threw the footy? So it evens itself out.

Nah, just call a last minute free kick from a clumsy ruck contest that takes place throughout every game yet rarely gets paid and all will be ok.
How many other centre square ruck block free's were paid tonight?

 

[Hippster]

Who do the umps usually support in Bulldogs vs Melbourne matches? Probably two of the most protected teams in the league.

That made me laugh.
WC free kick for over against differential over the last 18 years is 900-1000 up.
Team in second spot is less than half of this.

Take a wild guess.

 

[mr bagcroft]

free kick throwdogs.

 

[Bushdid911]

Literally more than double the next highest team.

Imagine what that number would look like if Port hadn't got 8 more free kicks a few weeks ago in a 2 point win.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Probably a different result tonight if Daniher or Hipwood played

 

[JoeHawk]

Get vaccinated people.

My family tells me it means “ice in the veins” and not a drug reference

 

[PhatBoy]

Oh look.

A sanctimonious poster feeling they are better than anyone else based on the way strangers wearing a jumper play against other strangers wearing a different jumper.

I'm sure you put Geelong Supporter on your resume thinking it makes you more employable.

Yeah I do that right after I sign up for an AFL forum thinking it’s for talking about AFL.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Came in to see if anyone wanted to talk about a fantastic final. Nope. Same old moaning

Best final since the 2018 Granny I reckon. Fantastic game from siren to siren.

Bizarre free, I agree. But we’ve been contained in our hotel room for two days. Now have to fly to Perth but play in Adelaide.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Game of the year?

 

[YeoShuey]

I’m guessing Bulldogs are the 25 as no way they would not have such a low free kick count against any team.

 

[adogsfan5]

Game of the year?

To normal afl fans yeah.
