Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 1 - Cats v Bombers Sat March 19th 2:10pm AEDT (MCG)

[Vindicater]

Its not just our system that looks ****ed.

Our guys all look unfit.

 

[Bluelegs]

Geez getting rolled by the Corio retirement village in round 1 isn’t a good start

Surely they can afford Belmont

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Far out Geelong look so good

Geelong always look good early in the season.

They start to show cracks by about round 10. By round 20 they're struggling

 

[Hamingja]

Who is missing from Essendon's team?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Who is missing from Essendon's team?

Our entire forward line

It’s not who’s missing it’s how we playing

We haven't looked good Round 1 of the past few seasons - it's our style that looks far better, and it's paying dividends on the scoreboard right now

 

[RAPPA]

Often you gotta go backwards to go forward. Bombers are a young team and it wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary to really struggle against some teams. That said, only the first quarter and they could easily close the gap over the next two quarters

 

[BarryMorgan]

Hmm starting to question Mick Malthouse’s judgment.

 

[Foucault1989]

Never have I left a game during the first qrt disgusting football team I don’t paye my good harned earned to watch sh*t

You seriously left a game of football at quarter time? That's peak disillusioned supporter.

The earliest I've left is round 22, 2003 I think where North were over 100 points up. Quarter time is remarkable

 

[beema limapep]

Its not just our system that looks f’ed.

Our guys all look unfit.

To me they look disinterested.

 

[DemonZombie_001]

I suppose the challenge here is for Geelong to put the Bombers to the sword and not fade.

Horror start for Bombers obviously, they have some great midfielders but they are all on the smaller side. I just see them getting pushed around by other teams.

 

[Hamingja]

I'm at the game. Decent sized crowd. Roughly 35k

About time they come down to Geelong I think.

Started slowly last year. Just chugged along for most of the year tbh.

 

[freddy mercury]

Bombers already very shallow on KPP before injuries. Lack of structure is showing.

Horrible right? Both teams should walk off anyway, Carlton are Premiers.

 

[Xtreme]

It's ok Geelong will tire out after half time

Essendon just need to hang on

 

[mrmonkey]

Geelong will just deny bombers the footy now that they've established a 5 goal lead.

 

[SA HAWK]

Cats looking sharp.

Definite contender if they don’t get key injuries.

 

[dumb]

Geelong to park the motorized scooter for the rest of the game?

 

[Sir_Loin]

Hmm starting to question Mick Malthouse’s judgment.

The media hype on the bombers pre season was outrageous

 

[Foucault1989]

Hmm starting to question Mick Malthouse’s judgment.

Starting? He is the Ian Chappell of the AFL. Talks rubbish!

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Horrible right? Both teams should walk off anyway, Carlton are Premiers.

Who hurt you man

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

No

Often you gotta go backwards to go forward. Bombers are a young team and it wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary to really struggle against some teams. That said, only the first quarter and they could easily close the gap over the next two quarters

No chance

Been garbage for 20 years and looks like nothing has changed

From memory, they don’t usually look so good in Round 1 as they sometimes even lose. They normally start to look good after Round 5 IMO and then falter in the finals. Let’s see if they keep this up today though

 

[Jonno94]

Its not just our system that looks f’ed.

Star midfield looks very flat, maybe throw McGrath in there.
