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

[Acinath]

Essendon are trailing their opponents by metres

 

[morsie]

Are they using drones now

Only in the commentary box

 

[Bluelegs]

Geelong were a bit lazy there

 

[Sir_Loin]

Ridiculous that some had them in the top 4. They exceeded expectations last year but, realistically, they're still a couple of years away. Progression isn't always linear, sometimes teams will take a step back before taking two steps forward.

Usually it’s off the back of a finals win…

 

[The 747]

This is going alright, great to the kids like Holmes, De Koning, Hawkins and Dangerfield doing well.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

You can't write off a club in round 1. Enough quality to be competitive throughout the year

Happy to wait till round 2 when they play Brisbane or round 3 when they play Melbourne...

should stop whinging for frees and try to get a kick

 

[Foucault1989]

Love seeing big Sam De Koning out there.

 

[Bluelegs]

Gee Ed Landon would have liked that sort of leniency

 

[Cyber_punk]

Think Essendon will come back and lose by a few goals as Geelong run out of legs but the cats have done enough.

 

[Bluelegs]

Devon Smith should stop whinging for frees and try to get a kick

"Stop yelling at me Devon"

 

[Sir_Loin]

Blicavs is a machine. He must be the best runner in the game

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

The MCG is just copy and pasting thier excuse why half the bars and food are shut.

It's a day game is it not.

 

[beema limapep]

Who's the balding middle part 20yo for Geelong?

 

[Sphynx]

Has Cox seen the inside of the gym the last 6 months? Doesn’t look like he’s put on any size at all.

 

[Bluelegs]

These annotations are very ugly.

 

[theiaofseed]

Skill lever in this game has vanished

 

[Sir_Loin]

The bombers searing pressure really noticeable this quarter

 

[ams4crows]

Really liked Stengle when he played for us. Good to see him playing AFL again he’s at the level

We liked him on the footy field too, but off it he messed up too often and we had to let him go, I hope he gets the help he needs a Geelong

 

[The 747]

LoL Dangerfield "rare error"

 

[Osho]

Cats losing their lustre now. If bombers can get 2 back b4 htime, a bit of hope still.

 

[Foucault1989]

I don't think Dangerfield missing an easy kick is a "rare error".

 

[mrmonkey]

Danger butchering a kick is a rare error apparently.

 

[Bald]

In their last 4 quarters Essendon have scored 3.5 and have conceded 18.10

 

[The 747]

We liked him on the footy field too, but off it he messed up too often and we had to let him go, I hope he gets the help he needs a Geelong

He's been great for us so far, but completely understand why the Crows had to let him go. Any club would have.
