Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 13 - BIG FREEZE 9 Demons v Pies Mon June 12th 3:20pm AEST (MCG)

[VinnieB]

We had more behinds than your total Goals and Behinds. The Mcinnes one was a combination of perceived pressure and a guy who is probably the 22nd player of the 22 so they're bound to make howlers which that definitely was. We had about 6 misses equivalent to Hoskin-Elliott's though. Grundys, Picketts and Joel Smith's without even thinking.

It's not a wake up call really for you guys. Pies will be fine. You're still flag favourites. But I think it just showed that when true pressure is applied even your Rolls-Royces in Pendles and Daicos feel the heat.

Or they just had average games like any other top player. If you think Daicos has never played in a high pressure game in his career, you have no idea.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Did he ever had any? That fact that he had to be pushed away after the siren tells you everything the flog is an absolute dickhead

All reports are Petracca started it so not sure where you're getting you filth from. Cox is a champion and a top bloke.

 

[Saab NLAW]

Is that Brown and McDonald who are struggling at Casey? Ben Reid would offer more in 2023

At the risk of taking you seriously (let's face it, you're a poor troll), they're both currently injured, as is Petty.

 

[Dez!]

Terrible comparison. If McStay were at Melbourne he would be playing. Those two are at Melbourne and they're not because they're cooked.

McDonald is injured.

All reports?? Where did you hear that from (the voices in your head don't count)?

I gotta agree with you on this one. Brown is a spud who i never want to see again and Tom Mcdonald is simply too slow these days. The only thing these two do is kick straight but they offer nothing at ground level. I'd prefer Joel Smith who did some nice things like the chase down tackle on Maynard and even though he missed the set shot, I like the tone it sets.

There’s nothing wrong with having at least one of them i50. Particularly someone like McDonald who breaks packs far better than any of the current 6.

I loved the Fritsch v Moore match up - someone like McDonald would’ve forced Moore to focus more on his own player.

On the other hand, Smith looked good, I really liked what I saw of him yesterday, but when looking long term, you already have that ‘type’ in the forward line.

What reports?

And?

Seriously, that's your evidence, wtf man

Irrefutable, it was all Petracca

 

[PieLebo87]

Be honest though, if Melbourne even kicked averagely in front of goal, instead of horrifically we would've won by 6 goals. We smashed you all over the park for the majority of the day but just couldn't convert. Dees players didn't drop their heads at all. A few questionable free kicks in that last 3-4 minutes too.

Yeah, I don’t subscribe to the what if argument. The only reason I wanted one more minute was because that last 2 minute was entertaining from a sports fan perspective, and the extra minute would’ve had people on the edge of their seats, irrespective of the final outcome.

Dees kick straight, and the game is over by midway through the last.

Collingwood are still the best team in it though in my opinion. Just in terms of consistency but Melbourne's best is still going to trouble the pies, but we haven't played this way in 18 months to be honest. The defensive pressure was finally up. Pies fans are saying there were uncharacteristic mistakes from guys like Daicos and Pendlebury but every time they got the ball they were jittery and were given no time or space.

Kudos to the Dees, not so much the pressure, but they’re set up behind the ball. I haven’t seen the Pies turn the ball over as much as they did yesterday. Pressure was definitely a factor, but the way Melbourne set up behind play just makes it difficult for any side to navigate the footy forward.

Pendles was disappointing and he doesn’t usually turn it over that much. I noticed it from the get go, he was moving far slower than he usually does. The bye comes at a very good time for the Pies by the looks of yesterday.

Dees get a test straight off the bye against the Cats so should be good to see, with Oliver back, what they do there.

LOL, you need to read it again, or stop being a troll

 

[VinnieB]

At the risk of taking you seriously (let's face it, you're a poor troll), they're both currently injured, as is Petty.

Fairly sure Brown has been playing VFL. Rounds 7,8,9,10,11,12. Would he have played this week if not injured? Unlikely.
Tom Macdonald has played 3 games in the VFL. Would he have played this week? Maybe. Apart from his 4 goals against West Coast, the guy has been a liability for Melbourne. But, if he is in your best 22, we can't help you.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Ok I've read it again and it still says Petracca yelled at Cox then apologised, what am I missing Einstein?

Say NO to drugs.

I’m not going to get involved, but I’m sure Trac wouldn’t be apologising for no reason. Obviously words were spoken and it was in the heat of the moment.

People love to shit on Cox - don’t reckon that’s fair in this instance though.

 

[danster168]

Or they just had average games like any other top player. If you think Daicos has never played in a high pressure game in his career, you have no idea.

If you have a bunch of guys that played average games skill execution wise, it's the defensive pressure. I think credit where credit is due there.

They're all jealous of Cox, a guy who dominates a game he'd never heard of growing up, what a legend!

Dees pressure was great, the bar has been raised for us.

 

[mike ross]

Absolutely.

And better to learn that now than in September.

Pretty confident Collingwood have a considerable amount of upside in them.

Collingwood will go all the way Fadge. Don't worry about that

 

[danster168]

Yesterday, he takes a mark an uncontested mark over Judd McVee who is 182cm and stares him down. Like he needs to read the room better. We played Tomlinson on Cox and I think that shows him how much we rated him.

 

[Saab NLAW]

Ok I've read it again and it still says Petracca yelled at Cox then apologised, what am I missing Einstein?

both players spoke to the media after the game, one of them says what happens on the field stays on the field, the other has a sook and tries to play the victim

Cox is a flog and anyone who tries to defend him is as well.

What a ****ing princess

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Cox is a god, the only current player to score 3 goals in quarter in a final TWICE

You're all jealous, poor fellas

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Na that's just a Carlton simp who only pipes up when Collingwood lose, which isn't that often

Well to be fair if he only popped up after a Carlton win we’d all be dead.
