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

[Ambrosia]

Only 5 rushed behinds.
And yes those poor inside 50 kicks contributed to those rushed behinds too.
As I said kicked ourselves out of it.

We had a couple of set shots from i50 that didn’t score as well.

It was disappointing to struggle to put real scoreboard pressure on through poor conversion.

 

[T2B_]

Was that Melbourne’s game plan against the Dockers last week except they converted their shots?

Bloody oath Danny walked into that

I'll raise you a flag in 2021.

No one cares about covid flags, sorry

Your team seemed to be trying pretty hard Also,they were full length games in 2021.

it is posters like you that make Carlrton supporters wish for a Collingwodo win today - almost.

lol Melbourne's season is cooked. I'm not biased to the point that I let my loyalty blind me. Unlike most posters.

why is Melbourne's season 'cooked' anymore than Collingwood's for example? - that is a ridiculous statement.

 

[Aphrodite]

Salty Dan, so good also

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Easy to look at the stats and go "Essendon should have won with those inside 50s" or whatever Scott said but the reality is nearly all of them were either bombing it in or shots from the boundary. There was a bit of bad kicking for goal but that doesn't explain it all.

Sure, but Essendon still done ****ed up with scoring shots

because we got smashed by a bottom 2 team in wce. And then freo by 92. How is that not cooked?
Collingwood have injuries. Dees are basically full strength excluding Lever.

 

[Jeremias]

Why is Danny so desperate to talk about the Dees in here?

Nobody cares.

Maybe try the Melbourne board or the King’s Birthday game day thread.

Maybe you'll change your mind if your mob get over this other middling team you are playing today?

 

[The Fantom]

if the results were reversed and we won I would have been "lucky Carlton missed all those shots or we would have lost"

So I guess that’s what you said and thought in the corresponding game last year?

Expected score is a flawed concept. Score a goal instead of a point the ball goes back to the centre and it is a different game and you don’t get those extra missed shots as you are on a different timeline.

 

[Blues_Man]

LOL, you happy with that? Good luck pal!!

Your saltiness adds to my happiness, thank you

 

[Blues_Man]

lol, as a Carlton fan you have this swagger because why? Because you've made a prelim and squandered a lead? You've achieved nothing and been a basket case for a decade. When was your last flag? You're carrying on like you've achieved something. Making a prelim and squandering a lead isn't achieving anything.

You are extra salty, I guess seeing your so called contenders get flogged by a middle of the road side will do that to you. Let's hope the Melbourne head cases can get the job done against another ordinary side today.

huh. u lost to them? And 15th placed Adelaide. Your swagger is cringe. It's got WCE vibes after a couple of wins. You've achieved nothing. Bump this when you've won a flag.

The AFL is a flawed concept because it sells equalization but plays the decider on a Victorian cheat ground

I dont think anyone can afford to build a stadium that holds 100,000 people and used only once a year...and as soon as Clubs lost their smaller home grounds for the sake of Marvel Stdium it is only interstate teams and Geelong who enjoy the benefits of home ground advantage- which gives them all a pretty big boost against teams who play at Marvel - arguments can be made that Collingwood, Richmond and Melbourne have an equal advantage in H&A to interstate franchise teams and a bigger advantage in finals- because they are playing on their home grounds.

The biggest problem with the AFL is the fixture is a 'fixture'.

What are you talking about?

Any Vic vs non Vic GF @ MCG will have home ground advantage.

What are YOU talking about - your mob has a home ground called the ASCG - you get to play there for EVERY HOME GAME..wakey wakey

Wow normally it is the posters from WA that have a chip on the shoulder so big they need to inject their perceived injustices into a totally unrelated thread. Please tell me more about the academy that gifted you Heeney Mills Guilden the Lizard and Campbell.

Agree but it's still a good measure as to whether or not a side created quality scoring opportunities
