Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 1 - Port v Eagles Sun March 17th 4pm AEDT (AO)

[MarcMaverick]

Teams need to work on their accuracy in front of goals.

 

[Roobs321]

40 scoring shots from 55 I50s

club record for behinds in a game

same old eags

Eagles did this many times last year they have good intentions and start well with good spirit ,then the simple fact they have inadequate players for this level and some older players who are past it they slip away to what ends up being a thrashing.
It will be the case until they run out of spirit and have a period of getting flogged from the first bounce for 7-10 games before rallying at the end of the season to come back to this level with spirited starts.

 

[Handsome_Jack]

There’s been about 20 scoring shots in this quarter alone. Go check the first half which was where the original comment came from

That’s just flat out untrue though, you were in the game for 1 quarter.

 

[Coasters7]

You mean the first half where it was 19 scoring shots to 8? That period where it was very tight?

The whole game our goal kicking has been very poor.

This has all the marks of what should have been a 100pt win. A real missed opportunity for us and something we let slip often when we have these type of games. This game should have been a percentage booster.

38 scoring shots to 17. Massive difference.

Did you see the original comment? I said you blokes have been piss poor today because you’ve been belted around the ball and are only dominant on the spread

 

[HugeJohnson]

Only in the second half when we’ve run out of legs. Very tight before that

Why have you run out of legs though? You have players like Kelly, Gaff, Yeo, McGovern, Cripps, Barrass, Hunt, Darling, Duggan and Allen out there, all experienced campaigners. Don't pretend to yourself its a team of boys up against men.

Just give it up, your team is on a different cycle at the moment and the effort is the main bit, which has been impressive today.

 

[Zevon]

Port have blown a chance at some decent percentage with their inaccuracy. Could easily have been a 100+ margin if they’d kicked straight

 

[Luuuc]

Solid first game. Things mostly going to plan for the Eagles.
(I'm assuming the plan is getting another #1 draft pick)

Port's inaccuracy has made this a very flattering score but it's still a flogging.

And on the scoreboard? The one stat that actually matters. Contested football means the sum total of Jack if you do nothing with it, as demonstrated by the fact we’ve missed 20+ shots on goal and are still winning by almost 10 goals

 

[Aussie_boy]

Kelli Underwood is known for her shit calls but saying the Eagles pass mark is 6-8 wins might take the cake.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Did you see the original comment? I said you blokes have been piss poor today because you’ve been belted around the ball and are only dominant on the spread

My first comment was that we should be 10 goals up, that was before we put on another 10 behinds.

You responded that you had also been inaccurate and that otherwise it had been close. Which is nonsense.

This should have been a 100 point loss.

 

[natooo]

Honestly, who gave Kelli the captain and vice captain list for this year? Heard it at least 25 times today

It’s a top 4 team vs a wooden spooner side with 80% 18 year olds. What do you expect to happen?

It wasn’t far off being a 4 goal margin at the end of the third mate.

 

[Roobs321]

10 goals!

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

This should be well over 100 points.
West Coast are in for another horror year.
Wtf happened. They won a flag 6 years ago.. it’s almost impossible to believe.

[Footy_Fan2007]

Due to Ports inaccuracy.
The eagles are going to be worse than last year if that’s even possible.

He just named 10 players above 24 how’s your maths going?

 

[Elixuh]

I’d be trying to get a new extension in front of Kenny before someone poaches him. That was a dominant 50 point win.

Not sure that’s helping your cause. Games less than 50 is what you want to be looking at there

1 18 year old

 

[Roobs321]

Looks like we’re still bottom...

Whatever helps you sleep at night, you had plenty enough experience out there
