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

[Hirsty23]

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.

Lyon?

He’s not commentating? Thought I heard his voice complaining about that free earlier. Must have been someone else.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Great umpiring. Didn't get sucked into the lowering of the body

Lewis and Johnson

Thought Petracca was wearing a full white face mask!

Couple of players going full on Geisha out there.

 

[Foucault1989]

Dogs are still an almost team. Such a shame. Can't stand Melbourne

 

[melbun]

Warm day for footy. Let'S see which side is the fittest.

It's been discussed extensively but being second fiddle is a very recent development. Naughton has been their number 1 forward for years.

Won't be us.

What do you expect when they only have 1 high quality player on their list?

He has been but there's no need for him up there now. He is not a natural forward and he's the clear answer to their issues down back.

 

[Miluxx]

Is May a sook or what. Imagine getting in someone's face then complaining about the retaliation.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Gotta take your chances... Game done you'd think

Now, yeah I tend to agree. JUH is their best forward option now.

But Lord Farquaad is very stubborn.

 

[StillAtLarge]

you'd hate leading towards Treloar

 

[Osho]

Dees need to kill this game. Dogs just need a couple of quick ones and before you know it, overrun.

 

[hawkman]

How does McNeil keep getting games?

Absolute spud

 

[Zevon]

Hesitant to make longer term declarations based on one round but geez the Bulldogs look bog average

Need to see them with their best team in. Might take Bevo 10 weeks to stumble across who it is though

 

[melbun]

Demons doing what Osho said.

Struggle to see how they go anywhere with that back six. Dreadful

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Imagine leaving Macrae out and playing a dead set spud in McNeil

 

[Lingsface]

Disappointing crowd.
