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

[Back One Out]

I used to think Zorko was a great player. Maybe he still is… But every time I watch the Lions, he seems to f*** things up, blow crucial chances and cost his side.

2 crucial kicks from him went out on the full late in the 4th quarter. He’ll be sleepless tonight thinking about both of those.

 

[Mayes2Gray]

Again, you go for Essendon. Why the fu** would you show up in a finals thread to give it to anyone?
Even port in 2007 won 2 finals to get the chance to lose by 20 goals. Better than anything an underage drinker has ever seen from Essendon

I've never felt good about that day... Until now. Thank you.

 

[Scotland]

He's clearly not fit but you have to wonder why they bothered recruiting him? Can only play so many midfielders and he isn't a forward.

Was great in the first 9 rounds and then got injured.

Even last week he had 28 touches and 5 inside 50s. Tonight I saw him on screen 3 or 4 times the whole game. Every centre bounce checked to see if he would be in the square or on the wing and just wasn't.

 

[FreoRicci]

Those two free kicks were there though.
Don’t do anything stupid like that by Cameron. Neale didn’t get close with his kick from a ‘deliberate’

 

[PhatBoy]

Wait until next week's when you get beat

In a preliminary final. Yeah shameful

 

[nahnah]

The worst call of the game was the deliberate against Helmet

 

[kickazz]

Yeah what’s that 1 finals win out of 5 now?.
Entering geelong territory for post season choking

Oi! We have a great record in Semi Final week!

What a ****ing shambles this competition is.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Love the name, Gavin excel, massive bell end, dixie Marshall used to interview him when he was starkers

Don't forget that port are great at choking. dogs a chance

G Excell a quality player
Kicked 8 v hawks 1989

 

[Ah12]

The umpires lost the plot in the last two minutes in another game recently - when the guy got 50 metres penalty for fisting the ball when it was kicked out on the full. Which game was that?

Thats 50 every day of the week, always has been always will be.

 

[toxic]

Not it's not, it's based on their INTENT to keep it in play.

And?

Did he keep the ball in play....

 

[BFVirgin]

Really wanted the umps to put the whistle away when it was so tight. But they had to pick out a few 'technically correct' decisions to one side. The whistle's still ringing.. #freekickbulldogs

 

[your_mate_07]

All these comments about the umpires are so embarrassing. The umpires didn't kick the ball for Zorko when it went out on the full. The umpires didn't miss the snap for Neale. The umpires didn't stiff-arm English in the ruck in the last minute...there was dubious free kicks both ways all game. If Neale kicks that goal after Daniel's "insufficient intent" and Brisbane go on to win I guarantee most of you would be saying the same thing but in reverse.

 

[Marlo]

You can all piss and moan all you like, but the fact remains that the Bombers still haven't won a final in the electricity era

 

[Stubbie Holder]

Carlton flog, you'd know all about inferiority by now hey.

Nope, I’m a Vic and you are an inbred from a pissy little irrelevant state. Inferior

 

[blue harvest]

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

?? Didn't the Bombers fail to kick a goal in the second half?

 

[JimmyMann]

They try and convince us that it’s a fair competition- what an utter disgrace.

I'm not usually a brisbane supporter, plus I don't like dons or swans at all but wow you guys have all got reasons to be angry. It sucks, they tried hard to finish our EF against the dogs last year but left it too late. It's genuinely ****ed up, the Bulldogs are destroying any semblance of fairness.

 

[Ambrosia]

??? Why was that a problem? Clearest time-wasting free kick seen for a while and actually paid.

I don’t like it. Eye on the ball no way he would have known where the line was.

Still the deliberate before hand was incorrect and Geelong shouldn’t have failed to keep it in bounds from there so only have themselves to blame.

 

[Spursfan]

Charlie Cameron headless chook in that last quarter. Discipline.

Very silly free he gave away. That bloke he blocked had no play on the ball

 

[freddy mercury]

Hard to see the dogs winning next week after tonight's slog. Port the week off, fresh for next week, dogs banged up. Been done before though.

 

[ferball]

Interesting celebration by smith shooting up

Did he just say "Ice in the veins" in that interview?

 

[Engimal v3]

Weird to think that Brisbane and North achieved the same amount this year in the end

 

[dean33]

We all knew it would happen.

We all saw it happen.

We all know nothing will happen.

The compliant media will pretend it didn’t happen.

Business as usual.

What a pathetic excuse for another lions finals failure. Just accept you lost and went out straight sets again.

 

[tigs2010]

Treloar 2 kicks. Should give back his pay for tonight. Absolute passenger

Which account is he depositing it back into? Pies, dogs, both?

 

[fnerd]

Brissy mids soft at it, thats why straight sets in finals. Couple of ordinary backman as well. Dogs are a better side, lions would have got flogged next week, bullies might make it a bit interesting.

Yerp brissie still close to the most overrated side in the AFL
