Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 16 - Dogs v North Sun July 4th 4:40pm EAST (Marvel)

[SSwans2011]

Because we all know free kick counts should be equal
Or, are they reflective of better discipline, attack on the ball etc etc?
Of course not, should be equal. Conspiracy!

Chill out, I never said free kick counts should be equal.

Good. Many on here think so.
Referring to a free kick less half of footy did have implications. Context.

 

[Ry009]

Haven't had much luck and ball use has been standard but better than earlier on in the season against the likely premier.

 

[Virgin Dog]

I hate to lay myself open like this, but I really don't think North are as bad as their ladder position suggests.

The more recent games I've watched of theirs, they work really hard, if nothing else. Not a bad attitude to have.

Honestly feeling the same. The scoreline is flattering us here, their midfield is beating ours and their run and carry is near unbeatable at times. Still have a way to go but the future is looking really bright. Could do with another competent KPF to kick to, and sorting out their small/medium defenders. Ben McKay is a star

I'm still bewildered by Aarron Hall slamming it on the full from the centre square after a mark.

Gerard Healy really has NFI

Gerard Healy really has NFI

He’d be struggling to commentate two teams that he’s been a perennial bagger of.

As I said earlier in the thread, my problem is the lack of consistency. It has always been an issue across the season, but now it's an issue across matches.

Think the umpires have actually been fine as the match has gone on, but thought the HTB when Dumont got high contact was stiff, but fine if that's how they are going to officiate across a full game. But then Daniel charged into a tackler the exact same way Dumont did 2 minutes prior, and no free kick was paid. That's what shits me.

With the way the rules are written, plenty is down to personal interpretation, and I think that is something fans need to learn to accept, but by the same token, I think there needs to be greatly improved consistency across matches.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Well at least we’ve improved from the last time we played them.

Would rather wash my nuts with metho and sandpaper than listen to him commentate another game.

He's had a shocker

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Zurhaar should buy dogs more often

 

[CrowInFiji]

Please stop.

Imagine going for cheap likes

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Another horrendous umpiring decision to gift the dogs a goal.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

We look cooked. Boy oh boy Wowee.

 

[Chief]

Deliberate!

You'd hope they are in the right direction, they deserve more good fortune.

 

[HairyO]

Dogs are about as convincing as Port were from late in the 2nd quarter until the last 3 minutes.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

That will do Donkey, that will do.

 

[RAPPA]

Larkey having such an almost game

As my grade 7 PE teacher said, your grade reflects your skill. You don't get extra points for effort. NOW DROP AND GIVE ME 20, PROM DATE!

 

[ApplecrossWC]

That's the Josh Bruce we know and love!

 

[Kangapirate]

Despite what will be a loss around 40 points reckon we’ve shown enough to keep Good Friday, this match has been a lot closer than the scoreboard. Very few teams beat the Dogs out of the middle, shame we can’t convert.

 

[Danger Zone]

Mitch Wallis doing his best Josh Jenkins impression this game.
