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

[Aussie_boy]

Having a professional commentator in Matt Hill instead of an ex footy player is a breath of fresh airb

Loses points for calling them 'Jerseys'

 

[Osho]

Lobb and Naughton have that scary Aryan look about them that my parents used to warn me about with their terrifying bedtime stories.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

There is clearly something rotten at Melbourne despite what they say

 

[Zevon]

And followed it up with unbridled arrogance, refusing to change a single thing with the gameplan or fix the nightmare forward of centre.

Will always be grateful for the flag, but he's wasted the list since, and our dour style of play has become a chore to watch.

This is fair. It does look like his strategy post the flag was basically just "heck, we killed it. Why change anything". Winning the first 10 games of the following year probably gave a false sense of security that that was the right way to go as well.

Looks like a terrible crowd. Have they said how many turned up?

 

[Osho]

First react is Goal.

 

[Zevon]

First react is Goal.

Quick, ninja edit!!

 

[Osho]

Second react is point!
Kick the bloody thing in the air ffs!

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Clear touched.

Looks like 30k

 

[darklake]

feel like im watching the races with that hill guy

Next up... Mr Brightside.. just back from a spell.

Who's the new commentator? Don't mind them, slightly understated style reminiscent of the 80s/90s.

 

[Zevon]

Just me or has BBB shortened his runup from Michael Holding length down to just Mitchell Starc length?

Watching the game it looks better on the broadcast side. If they get 40 to 45k. It's about on par with what you'd expect considering they're smaller clubs and both have had 2 mediocre seasons plus the Dee's horrible off-season

 

[Osho]

Love the tackling.
It's how I first got my wife's attention.

He only knows one way based of his pressers: "contest defense". Straight up refuses to engage in discussion about our inability to hit targets inside 50 and score.

The arrogance seeps through the club too, just gotta look at the likes of May "we would have smashed Collingwood", Gawn "other clubs would kill to be in our position", Pert "our culture is the best I've seen in 40 years" and Roffey straight up criticising fans for not being loud enough, despite the club refusing to put forward an exciting, or even watchable product.

 

[StillAtLarge]

This is easily the highest quality game of the opening rounds

 

[BarryMorgan]

May must have forgotten Harmes has left the Demons, usually he whacks his own teammates?

Matt Hill...Calls the races in Melbourne, formerly from Sydney.

Must be cutting back on pace and looking for sideways movement.

 

[My Tilly]

What the Dees would give up for a player like Logan McDonald or Ugle-Hagan to complement this current midfield

He's calling the game like a radio broadcast though. Let the picture tell the story ffs

Sounded familiar. Does he call the Melbourne cup?

Successfully, based on that first shot on goal
