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

[Rod Stroker]

Bombers have kicked a total of 3 goals in their last 4 quarters. Less than a goal per quarter.

LOL!

 

[Tas]

Disappointing first half for Essendon. You can be beaten, but at least put some physical pressure on your opponent. They need to show some spirit in the 3rd or it's going to be a 100+ point drubbing.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

I love how forced the country theme is for this game.

Bombers playing like a country level team in the first half.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Paul Brasher needs to send out an apology video after the game to the fans

We are celebrating 150 years and they serve this garbage in the first game of the year

Hang your head in shame you irrelevant football club

 

[The Casey Cat]

He's been beyond bad for us. They keep picking him in the hope he will come good but it is like playing a man down (and since we also play Dalhaus two men down).

Yea I saw our side and was like "well we're no chance again this year of we're wasting time on these shlubs". For any side to be 10 goals down to us in a half is ridiculous. And is not even in Geelong.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Geelong walking it out of centre clearance. Shameful by the bombers. One way midfield. Terrible whole team defensive intent and structure. Missing the 8.

Bombers are getting spanked in clearances and contested possessions.

Interestingly the bombers are winning the uncontested possession count 142-121

 

[Haduken]

We use to say that as well regarding its only Rd 1.......

it's the gold standard mantra now and evermore for supporters of every round one losing team I suspect

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Anyone else disappointed Huddo is commentating this game instead of Giants/Swans?

Yes, because it means I wouldn't be having to listen to him.

 

[Bluelegs]

Geelong had a 10-20 minute patch where they were playing pretty low-quality and the margin is still at 60 points...

They're in cruise control now.

 

[gordo2016]

Malthouse predicted Essendon would win the flag. Ha ha.

 

[Mootsy]

It's another rebuilding year, we're building!

 

[Blues_Man]

Are Essendon missing anyone? Besides Ridley, is there anyone decent playing key position.

Midfield bats deep but looks like it lacks size too.

I think they have parish to come into the side

 

[The 747]

Yay! The Bounce is back this year!

 

[Chism]

It’s how you get beat mate. Getting pumped by 15 goals on your home deck while showing very little with the Lions and Demons waiting the next 2 weeks it looks dire for the Bombers.

 

[Schauermann]

Fail of the day:
Having a Geelong defender and an Essendon forward in your Fantasy team...

 

[mrmonkey]

Maybe there's a bug going around the essendon fc that's effecting their performance

At least you’re not playing the dees or lions in the next couple weeks

 

[eaglespremiers]

Stringer, Tippa and Snelling. Pretty important players made a lot worse when Langford and Laverde went off. Still Cameron is off for Cats and Duncan, Rohan, Menegola, Ceglar and O'Connor were missing for Cats.

I didn't know it was a final.

 

[Obzerva]

At the end of this game, Essendon will still be in the top 8, that’s something

 

[Sir_Loin]

Malthouse predicted Essendon would win the flag. Ha ha.

Might actually look at Mick’s predictions and bet heavily the opposite way. Should make some coin

 

[RandB]

Cameron potential broken rib according to Triple M.

 

[mrmonkey]

Essendon with a few issues in defence and attact and in the midfield.They are getting smashed in contests. Other than that things are looking grim for them .Though Dangerfield might run out of puff before he gets to fifty possessions.

At first glance thought you were talking his age.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Bombers are getting spanked in clearances and contested possessions.

Interestingly the bombers are winning the uncontested possession count 142-121

Mids aren't big enough and certainly not damaging enough

 

[scoman]

Well done umpire in not giving Selwood a free for his usual crap.

 

[Giant Pete]

They want an outside game. They structure up that way.
