Autopsy AFL 2024 Opening Round 0 - Swans v Demons Thurs March 7th 7:30pm AEDT (SCG)

[Blue1980]

I still think the dees will win. They should wear them down and get more clean ball up forward after half time.

 

[JimmyBC]

Melbourne the much better team. Should destroy them by the end of the match.

They've been utter garbage forward of centre

 

[.Shotties.]

I'd be happy that you got the goal review nonsense if I was you.

You mean the goal where the ball clearly touched Gulden's hand before going through?

 

[brovedm]

Nothing worse than watching two teams trying to out defend each other.

 

[PieLebo87]

To be fair it’s no worse than some of those Richmond Carlton openers we have been stuck with.

At least we got goals in those games. Rather a blow out than a scrap-fest. 6 goals to HT between the 2 sides is terrible.

 

[NeutralFan]

Could argue now it was a terrible decision to start the season a week after Summer finished.
So many slips, drops, humidity looks awful to play in.

 

[Elixuh]

Petracca just telling everyone he’s about to cook a lovely frittata for the half time snack

 

[Fadge]

no they don't. no-one has Sydney as a top 4 team.

I did.

 

[situationz]

4 scoring shots in a whole quarter. Bleh.

 

[Fadge]

Kingy had talked up Gawn in the ruck at both qtr time and half time.

He's done nothing.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

this is a rubbish end to pre-season.

 

[YeoShuey]

They've been utter garbage forward of centre

They’re just tiring them out.

End result won’t even be close.

This. Everybody has been saying what a terrible call it was to go with Sydney-Melbourne as the opener. But I challenge any side to look good in these conditions.

 

[situationz]

Makes it hard not to think of "opening round" as just an extension of the preseason

 

[Shai]

Gotta love the umps keeping Melb in contention, the centre bounce ump is 1 of the worst I've ever seen in that position.

McCartin is just brilliant and Campbell might get his chance for a breakout season.

 

[Rowd072]

I was looking forward to the season starting but this game has a lot of what I hate about the way the game is played. I blame both coaches for this rubbish.

 

[Blue1980]

24 degrees and 87% humidity in Sydney, ball is like a bar of soap.

[Toump Ass]

An incredible advertisment for our great game. Ripper match!

 

[blinkd]

I did.

Really? Based on what?

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Ugly game

Demons should be a couple of goals infront though

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Kingy had talked up Gawn in the ruck at both qtr time and half time.

He's done nothing.

Respected analyst with respectable opinion or old guy on BigFooty yelling at clouds hmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Supersuns]

NRL has lost NSW after a half of footy like that

 

[Red Bull]

This. Everybody has been saying what a terrible call it was to go with Sydney-Melbourne as the opener. But I challenge any side to look good in these conditions.

Nothing to do with the conditions.
Blame the bloody coaches and the pissweak administration that enables them !!

 

[PP34]

What bozos decided the opening game should be two teams playing ultra defensive crap on the awful ground known as the SCG?
