Autopsy AFL 2024 Opening Round 0 - Giants v Pies Sat March 9th 7:30pm AEDT (GS)

[fnerd]

Obviously very early days but wouldn’t surprise at all if Collingwood do a Geelong of last year this year.

Old team , finally breaks through for a premiership after years of going close.

Not to mention playing such a high tempo game style if they end up with a few injuries things could spiral pretty quickly .

Collingwood are old but oddly enough they don't have too many "old players". I think they just have a lot of players in the high 20's compared to most clubs and not a lot of players under 23.

Squibbed again and someone pls GIF that!

Did Daicos just run away from tackling Green??????

You guys came out of the woodworks fairly quickly. The kid ended up having 34 possessions, a game high 16 contested possessions and a game high 10 clearances.

BF, never change…

Do you even understand what constitutes a contested possession?

Any possession with an opponent within 2m of you is classified as a contested possession. Show me a hard ball get from Nicky and i will wait.

In the mean time there is plenty of footage of him shirking a contest and running away from blokes!

 

[RAPPA]

Seriously, if ya gonna do this kind of stuff, at least make sure you have a possession by half time.

“Ermagaaaaaad, I’m trying to pot the kid! Do you even know what a contested possession is?!?”

Look up definition of keyboard warrior, friend.

He shat himself and ran when Mummy glared at him.

 

[Giant Pete]

GWS ran 14 kms further. Can’t remember such a diffarential
Pies didn’t put in or go hard when the ball was in dispute.

This was noticeable at the ground. After the first quarter the Pies just didn’t pressure as much as the Giants.

Crikey.

That's like having another mid on the field for the whole game.

Would love to have seen Mumford floor him

At least AFL knobs in the past like Jack Riewoldt and Goddard could actually play. I don't get how one guy living off 1 decent game can think he is top sh!t.

Are we arguing over contested possessions or hard ball gets though?

 

[demondavey]

Collingwood are premiers largely because they played as hard as anyone and outworked other teams - also favourable umpiring in their last two finals.

Their actual list, while good, is not the best in the comp. It’d be an amazing effort if they’re able to keep up that intensity after winning a flag.

They won 3 finals last year by a total of 12 points. In standard Melbourne fashion we had that many more I50 yet failed to score. Us to blame. I’d be very surprised if they won it again this year. GWS will be right up there, as will Brisbane and possibly Carlton. I like the Swans as well. No idea on Port.

Nothing worse watching him with a premiership medal and the American flag draped over him last year…..Mason and his ‘trash talk’.

I mean, contested posessions were being discussed as a way to prove Daicos was a... I dunno, insde player or something.

That said, I think this criticism of him as not being tough or whatever is stupid. Even if he wasnt in the top 40 hardest players on the team, who gets his hands dirty or splits every 1v1 ground ball, that's not his role. It's like people shitting on inside midfielders for being poor kicks.

 

[Osho]

Nice game.
Once the referees stopped the dodgy frees early, it was 16 to 8 goals rest of game. Commentatoes clearly restrained from speaking frankly.

Collingwood backs pushed up so much, there were fairly easy goals over the back in an open Giants forward half.

Too early to get too excited. Plenty of big dipper moments awaiting all teams rest of season. The season is a 19th century Russian novel, rather than a quick tweet. Alyosha is not guaranteed victory.

 

[mike ross]

I love watching the Giants play. Great game last night good to watch. Both teams are awesome

 

[melbun]

I wish Melbourne played like the Giants.

It was a shame that the umpires were selected from the Collingwood cheer squad.

Indeed. That would have hurt many a Collingwood hater.

Did you also hate Frampton's double cobra when he was presented with his medal?

This is how I've always felt.

I don't like arrogant knobhead players.....but at least if they're genuinely talented, I guess they're earned the right to carry on like that. They demand respect.

Seeing Cox trash talk and strut around like King Carey when he's had like 4 touches for the game is just cringe.

I wonder if the bloke he replaced in the team due to injury appreciated it. A little humility from a bloke who SFA all day would have been nice.
