Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 13 - Bombers v Blues Sun June 9th 7:20pm AEST (MCG)

[Ambrosia]

No one wanted to hear about it when we belted Geelong around the ground but kicked poorly in front of goal.

The better side won.

Agree claiming Essendon were better is as dumb as claiming Carlton lifted in q4

 

[Thrawn]

lol watch the game pal

Remind me what the margin was and who won.

 

[Call Me Cake]

You lost to the better team. Suck it up.

Smashed you in the chances, but didn't take them. You got off luckily and it stains it a bit for you. I understand. Was not the statement you were hoping for. Onto the next fortnight.

It’s clear you don’t understand football

How are people letting Jake Stringer get away with yet another lacklustre performance. 7 touches up to 3 quarter time. How Bombers supporters let him get away with these games over and over again is puzzling.

Stringer only rocks up to play Collingwood

Here's a statement: we're 2nd and you're not.

Yep. He lifts for the Powerhouse teams.

 

[Pies No 1]

That game didn't live up to the hype, a pretty comfortable win for Carlton and Essendon never really looked like winning.

Mason Redman was a huge out. Carlton has one of the best forward lines in the comp.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Battle of the Mckay’s was pretty shit

 

[Call Me Cake]

Here's a statement: we're 2nd and you're not.

Not the statement win you were hoping it'd be early in the match and it irks you. I probably walk away from that game with more confidence than you. Funny that.

Would’ve been a good matchup for Martin, Silvagni or Cottrell. Maybe even Cerra or Docherty when they rest up there

 

[Thrawn]

It’s clear you don’t understand football

It's clear your team isn't a top 4 side.

 

[Skull Face]

We are kicking most of the harder goals and missing the corridor ones though. I think our accuracy problems are down to fatigue, we don't have the depth to cover midfield injuries and our forwards are having to get further up the ground. We are clearly improved, but need to keep stacking players for another 2 off seasons I think before we are ready.

Can't really blame fatigue on the set shot misses that's mental above the shoulders stuff but the majority of your points were long bombs from outside 50 off the boundary line.

5 of your behinds were rushed you actually kicked 9.11 so you didn't kick that poorly just made bad decisions to go for goal when outside range instead of popping it up to 20m out.

 

[Drexl 31]

Brave bombers.

 

[Delisted]

Jobe interviewing is tonight's real highlight.

 

[Chief]

I probably walk away from that game with more confidence than you.

But why?

 

[Thrawn]

Not the statement win you were hoping it'd be early in the match and it irks you. I probably walk away from that game with more confidence than you. Funny that.

I don't care what the margin was, 4 points is 4 points.

got anything to worry about?
Are they serious? Shouldn't have even been a free. Simply NOT a dangerous tackle.

No carlton supporter expected us to win the bravery award over the bombers. We'll just have to take the scoreboard win as consolation.

Jobe Watson is still in the commentary box at the MCG telling everyone that the Bombers are still a chance and that "insert random essendon player name" is a lock for the AA team.

 

[Ambrosia]

It's clear your team isn't a top 4 side.

Now you can’t read the ladder…

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Carlton had McGovern and Hollands off for the last 15 minutes of the third quarter. Flooded back and absorbed pressure. There was clearly some rope a dope going on whilst Essendon had their run. Did the same against Port.

 

[Call Me Cake]

But why?

Felt more like we let that one go with our process in place rather than you winning it.

Anyway, onto the bye. Let's hope both our teams make the most of the rest.

 

[The King!]

they seem a better balanced side than we are. Their 2 key forwards are a big difference

Yeah and wright didn't give you much hurt.

 

[The King!]

He was bloody good

Yeah look I can't argue he doesn't fit into the structure for sure
