Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 13 - Dogs v Lions Fri June 7th 7:40pm AEST (Marvel)

[Cut the Carp]

I doubt there’s a true supporter nation wide that, after a fortunate week of umpiring (is there even ever such a thing), has gone along next week, seen the umpires pants their team and have their way, and said
“Nah, fair enough, I can cop that after last week”

Never has happened, never will.

There has been nothing wrong with the umpiring tonight, Dogs have been smashed in clearances, have been scragging all night and caught HTB multiple times. The worst decision of the night was the HTB and 50 against Mckenna, the crowd got that one over the line.

 

[ptrg]

Umpiring has been really good.

I’ll check in next week to ensure you happily accept the inevitable boning

(I won’t actually)

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Where would the Dogs be without the Bont?

 

[Purple7x08_24]

How did St K pass up on Bont

 

[blueiris]

How has Hipwood become the second coming of Lloyd

He can play he’s kicking is disappointing at times

 

[Port 2004]

Port is going to struggle like hell to contain Hipwood and D

What are you on about?

 

[SA HAWK]

Neale - 3
Bont - 2
Hipwood - 1

WOG - Lobb

 

[ptrg]

He kicked the ball before the siren to start the third quarter

That I can agree with, but only just in time

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

How did St K pass up on Bont

Standard Saints recruiting.

Is Billings still in the VFL?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Man, Ugle-Hagan needs to get better.

I'm really not convinced he will ever make it as a genuine forward.

He kicked some decent goals earlier, he'll get there.

And people were saying last week that Bulldogs are a Top 8 (some even going as far as to say Top 4) quality side.

Bloody should be until delisted.

Hes on the cusp of being the best fwd in the game. Needs more consistency.

Neale - 3
Bont - 2
Hipwood - 1

Bontempelli has been average tonight. Went missing when the game was on the line. A few junk tine goals can't change that.

Howie talking top 4

 

[cactuscall]

"Freo is one of the teams they play twice, naturally"

Ah yes, the great Western Bulldogs vs Freo rivalry.

 

[Xtreme]

Lions surge back into premiership contention with a thumping win against the Bulldogs!!

 

[RAPPA]

Wow, $hitwood with a bag of 6

 

[hawkman]

Takes a good team to beat the Lions at Marvel

 

[ApplecrossWC]

The Dogs are rubbish. After that meltdown over Tom Morris you just knew something wasn't right with Bevo and he would be taking them nowhere. Crazy how the dogs fan defended him so much.

. He can’t be Scott Wests son, soft as butter.

 

[The King!]

Dogs fans sulking over umpiring , definition of irony

 

[Harris Specter]

Wasn’t this meant to be the monster midfield of Bont, Treloar, Libba and English?
Absolutely got smashed

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

He kicked some decent goals earlier, he'll get there.

Maybe.

I'm not sure.

Granted he's only 50 odd games in and is only 22 - so he certainly has time. But of those 50 games, he's been getting the 3rd best defender. Not many 22yo key forwards get that luxury.

I'm concerned that he's been very meh, whilst other key forwards at the same age that were getting the best or 2nd best defender were producing much more.

Not a great kick at goal either, which is obviously problematic for a forward.


He has time. But I'm a bit worried.
