Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 16 - Bombers v Port Sat July 1st 7:25pm AEST (MCG)

[My Tilly]

Bombers in an upset.
Their midfield will match it with Port and I like their forwards to play a hell of a lot better this week.

 

[windyhill]

As ordinary as ordinary gets last week. Probably a good bet this week Ess.

 

[Gold Rozee]

The game swung in Ports favour when he took out Ridley we had trouble stoping Dixon and Finlayson. Rioli is lucky he's not playing becuase I reckon a few our guys haven't forgot what he did

Calling us piss weak? Your side won by 5 points if Peter Wright was playing we probably win

Rioli accidently caught Ridley with a trailing arm - that is all. Ridley must have a glass jaw.

 

[Gold Rozee]

Lions lost to Hawks
Freo lost to Rich
Geelong lost to Port
Gold Coast lost to Carlton
Melbourne lost to Geelong
Essendon lost to Freo
Hawks lost to Gold Coast
Eagles lost to Sydney
Richmond lost to Brisbane


Collingwood and St Kilda both won after the bye but they played teams who were also coming off the bye.

Realistically the only losses which prob didn't go to script were The lions vs hawks and possibly the Freo vs Rich.
wouldn't read too much into this stat.

Essendon are not very good.

Port to help the crows and win by 40.

Both sides went down a key defender in that game - about the same time.

32 scoring shots to 22…. Port should have won by a lot more.

But yer, Rioli is lucky he isn’t playing today and 2m Pete would have made all the difference. (Port also didn’t play a ruckman - Essendon dominate the taps, but clearance were equal…. Just saying)

Something about swings and round-a-bouts.

 

[Mundusa]

Yep but we had a soft draw acording to some

The reason why people say you have a soft run is because you play North and the Eagles twice. That 4 wins automatically.

 

[portly]

hope it's nothing too serious, but you know, if it's not...

What is a squib in Australian slang?

(n) a person who decides for spurious or selfish reasons not to honor an undertaking (to take part). (v) to withdraw from an undertaking: "That person is a squib". "That person 'squibbed it'".

We understand his mother passed away.

 

[Coolangatta]

I was thinking the Bombers in an upset because of the bye effect but after the Dogs beat Freo today, I'm not sure. Port probably will win this, by 2-4 goals.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Essendon will be competitive but Port are just flying and should win.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Please be gentle

 

[Godzke]

hmmm ... no customary late change to bring in a second ruck by Essendon
Means Weids will probably play that role tonight

Final teams

 

[longdonkey]

Port's strength (putting on pressure) is Essendon's weakness (kicking under pressure) and Port should win the midfield so I think a lot will have to go wrong for Essendon to win. It could happen no doubt about it but I think Port should win.

 

[longdonkey]

please please not Daisy Pearce - DOH

 

[freddy mercury]

Watching Fox Footy coverage, I dont know if it is just me, I struggle to understand half of what Eddie Betts says.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Piss poor crowd given no rain and only game on tonight

Goal Review for anything that can overturn a Port goal

 

[philthy05]

How hard did they want to overturn that

 

[tiger_tough]

Hell of a dive by butters there

 

[CrowToon]

Butters is a disgrace

 

[Astro_]

Butters looking for a cheapie in front of goal

 

[chickenonachain]

How hard did they want to overturn that

20 replays to see if it was touched when you could clearly see it wasn’t after one

 

[MJG14]

Butters is a gun but he doesn't mind exaggerating contact.

 

[longdonkey]

nice kick Charles

 

[mick500]

Carna peaaaar !! Do the crows a solid.
