Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 1 - Demons v Dogs Sun March 17th 1pm AEDT (MCG)

The dogs premiership window is well and truly shut

Well given the umpires opened it for them I’d argue the WB never did it themselves.

 

[Lsta062]

Bulldogs are 4-8 against Melbourne since 2017 with an average losing margin of about 47 points. Not good. Feels like Bulldogs are just in the middle of the ladder going nowhere

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Can hardly understand Oliver. Bloke is absolutely frazzled.

It’s amazing he can play to the level that he does.

 

[demondavey]

Asking a ginger about sunburn lol, well done Sarah Jones

Who is looking absolutely A1 if I don’t say so myself…..

 

[ApplecrossWC]

That's a very good point actually

 

[Bloody]

Yeah. Imagine playing 4 quarters of a football match and thinking that a question about sunburn is what the fans care about at the end of the match…

Thought most of it was cringe especially the out field stuff. Bloke got 35 and had solid game in a win, talk footy

 

[Dazb86]

Nearly a 50 point flogging for the Dogs but Brown just missed that last goal to save them from it.

You wouldn't have picked that halfway through the first quarter when they Dogs were well on top.

Have you seen many Dogs V Demons games?

 

[Toump Ass]

Remember when dogs fans were adamant Naughton was better than Mckay.

No. TBH I don’t think anyone has really had cause to think about Carlton for much of the last thirty years.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Possibly tired from carrying the team.

In fairness I think they have a number of good players apart from Bont. That said I feel like the media has overrated them a lot since 2016.

Won the one that counted

Yet Collingwood and Carlton are the teams most brought up on these forums. Plenty of people thinking about them.

 

[Cool Kangas]

The heat will be on Beveridge this week and what on earth are players doing laughing and hugging the opposition after a 7 goal loss? Supporters would be gutted, but the players all have a giggle?

Never quite get this. A lot of players are friends. Do they have to be angry and rude after a loss just cos it’s a loss?

 

[Toump Ass]

Honestly the Dogs rolling over- again- is pretty disgusting. They love being our plaything and it’s very cute but also show some spine you week campaigners.

Strange to think the Dogs made a granny in 21, get gifted two top prospects in JUH and Darcy, and turn their giraffe into an AA ruckman and end up being a middle of the road side.

Bevo’s last season imo.

As Dane Sean said, if he wasn’t playing footy he’d be putting the stickers on the apples

JUH is a very good player but Darcy is a long way off being an AFL player.

Never finished top 4. Gifted a flag. Very average outfit. Would be surprised if JUH and Smith stay if they don’t play finals this year.

 

[Oscarman]

New caller is good

Matt Hill? He is. Think he did some Sunday arvo games on 7 last year.

 

[Young Redleg]

I don't know why the bulldogs kept bombing the ball into the forwardline. Surely they should know by know that the easiest way to beat us is to move the ball through the corridor and hit targets on the lead.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

If this crowd was at the Gabba it would look pretty full.

If this crowd was at the Gabba it would be a sellout

The 747 apologies I read your post as having a dig at the crowd, we're on the same page

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Gawn is still the best ruck in the competition, and it's not particularly close.

If he could nail those regulation set shots....

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Of all the coaching mistakes Luke Beveridge has made (and there's plenty), Naughton not playing down back is by far the worst for mine. Potentially the best defender in the competition (4th bnf playing there in his first season) and you've got him rotting away playing second fiddle in the forward line. He has no forward craft outside of being able to take pack marks. Meanwhile their backline is a mess. Curious to hear Dogs supporters thoughts on this.

I've thought this for years!

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Someone needs to do a PhD on why the Bulldogs are s***.

Can't believe how poor they have been over the last few years.

Their soul was utterly destroyed by Melbourne in 40 minutes, 100-7. Haven't been the same since.

Some would say elimination final vs gws

You could have written exactly the same thing 12 months ago (minus English somehow making AA 6 months later). I look forward to Bevo leading the boys into another traditional round 1 capitulation in 2025 because why change anything?

They don't have to be all luvvy duvvy after a hard fought game where the passionate supporters of one team are feeling it badly. Shake hands, say well done and get off the field.

Put us out of our misery.

I want a coach that can teach us how to play as a team.
