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

[OnlyPowerForever]

Hahahahah well isn’t that awkward for a few. The next argument will be “oh no no no the cheating started since 2016..”

Well it certainly is an anomaly in finals since 2016 anyway.

Well it certainly is an anomaly in finals since 2016 anyway.

Yeah 2016 is when Bevo started dating Gillon

You never see skill errors called insufficient attempt in the forward line.

McInerney's handball????

 

[regpies]

5 out of their first 7 goals came from frees.

Ok, let’s take those 5 free kick goals off the Bulldogs and change the score…. guess what? You still lost.

For fun let’s take the other 2 that weren’t from a free kick and change the score….. guess what? You still lost.

 

[lioninthesand]

Look at this.. after about 5 of these going againts us.

2:45 left, even.

 

[JasRulz63]

Straight sets. Again.



You wouldn’t have been top four without a timekeeping error. Note that I’m saying it was an error - not deliberate, not a ******* conspiracy - an error. When that happened the vast majority of dogs fans shrugged and blamed our own poor form for missing the top four.

Yeah nah...you guys are as floggish as the rest of us.

Just ask the eagles round 23. Oh and the extra time you got. Enjoy pre season.

Enormous win by my mob, up against it with a week in a Launceston hotel, headed 4 or 5 times and looked in trouble at 3/4 time. Gutsy and dug deep.

Gifted the Lions 4th spot but made amends tonight.

Came for the LOLs of the pathetic Lions supporters.

Complain about the umpires yet they gifted you a top 4 spot, along with your old mate time keeper.

Two words to think about over summer... STRAIGHT SETS

 

[SSwans2011]

Ah ok I guess the previous years before then never occurred. Or is it only because you lost the granny?

The year that you went 100+ free kicks, you won a flag. You don't see how pointing to this anomaly doesn't work against your argument?

 

[adogsfan5]

2:45 left, even.

name the 5. I can name one. Neale.

That was one of the worst, stone cold holding the ball.

You never see skill errors called insufficient attempt in the forward line.

There was a ridiculous one paid against Zurhaar earlier this year, but yes that is more or less correct. It’s a joke.

 

[afl genius]

Says the Geelong supporter

Not sure what that's got to do with anything but ok. Don't get why dogs fans get so defensive about the umpires. They should be happy to have such a huge leg up week in week out

 

[Scotland]

The year that you went 100+ free kicks, you won a flag. You don't see how pointing to this anomaly doesn't work against your argument?

We went +110 in 2008 and won 4 games.

 

[OnlyPowerForever]

Yeah 2016 is when Bevo started dating Gillon

That makes sense, something has to explain the below.

The Stat: Bulldogs Frees For v Frees Against in finals since 2016.
The Magic ratio: 178-114 (+56%)
8 finals: 8 times clearly won the free kick count.

2016: 17-13 v West Coast
2016: 19-14 v Hawthorn
2016: 23-13 v GWS
2016: 20-8 v Sydney
2019: 34-28 v GWS
2020: 15-8 v St Kilda
2021: 22-14 v Essendon
2021: 28-19 v Brisbane

 

[stefcep]

Haha, they well and truly got you over the line.

I don't mind it though, Brisbane should never have got a home final so I was happy you got the win.

Brisbane can rot in hell.

Even Vandermeer's rushed point was a 110% in the back not given. Shocking umpiring.

 

[adogsfan5]

The year that you went 100+ free kicks, you won a flag. You don't see how pointing to this anomaly doesn't work against your argument?

And in the year 2017 when the tigers won the flag… they finished last in the free kick differential.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE FREE KICKS

 

[lioninthesand]

No the lions are!! Haha

Mate, we had half our team out tonight and about 8 players injured. We lost 2 blokes before half time. We put on a show, people are calling it game of the year. It was a belter and the Dogs got us. You look like a clown coming here to target our young group and our supporters like this right now, honestly. It's really embarrassing for you.

 

[mcs095]

That final ruck free was pretty soft but probably there..... but seriously what the hell was the go with the ump letting the dogs player basically stand on the mark as his teammate took the free....

 

[SSwans2011]

And in the year 2017 when the tigers won the flag… they finished last in the free kick differential. LOLS

So?

 

[lioninthesand]

That was one of the worst, stone cold holding the ball.

It wouldn't even crack top 5, but yep - pretty bad.

 

[adogsfan5]

So?

Free kicks don’t win games and flags. If you didn’t lose 2016, you wouldn’t be here.

 

[Outback Footy]

Wow. What great game of football. That game didnt deserve a loser, heart wrenching for Lions fans. That game ranks alongside the 2016 prelim, going straight to the pool room. I need a DVD.
Port will be tough at home next week.
Its a shame Cody wont be there, I love flea.

 

[SSwans2011]

No the lions are!! Haha

Enjoy your freefall down the ladder, mate. They'll still be competing for years to come, while you'll be struggling to scrape a handful of wins. Think you're projecting awfully hard because of that.

 

[SSwans2011]

Free kicks don’t win games and flags. If you didn’t lose 2016, you wouldn’t be here.

I was at the game tonight. Complete and utter farce. Hopefully you guys actually win a flag that isn't still spoken about as a farce in the years that follow.

 

[Alesana]

So he kicked the ball by CHOICE

it went nowhere near a team mate and straight out of bounds.

It's a free every day under the rule as it stands and has been adjudicated all year.

Do I personally like the rule - NO - but the decision was right imho.

And fwiw I had the Lions running for a LOT$$$ to win tonight

Then you must think the Zurhaar deliberate when he had a shot at goal was the correct call. You're wrong.

 

[Noidnadroj]

Look at this.. after about 5 of these going againts us.

2:45 left, even.

As a Tigers supporters in Round 10 v Lions it was 20-6 frees at HT….. I was messaging my Lions mate fairly annoyed, who said the umpiring was not a factor and Lions were just too composed. At the time I begged to differ given we were only down by 7 points, but he let me know umpires don’t influence games. Needless to say I’ve held off messaging him…. but boy it was tempting. Just gotta suck it up unfortunately. It swung your way round 10 and swung back tonight.
