Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 13 - Eagles v North Sat June 8th 4:35pm AEST /2:35pm WST (OS)

[Coasters7]

Why does bad kicking excuse an atrocious decision?
Why did North deserve to win when they were behind on the scoreboard? They were behind to a team that kicked 2 goals in 3 quarters, so why do they deserve to win?
Seriously, should they have called the game off at 3qt because North deserved to win?

Everyone brought up the same when Adelaide got robbed. Adelaide deserved to win that game because they were in front when the bullshit call was made. Same situation here.

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

Do you expect us to all be miserable after a win?

Can't celebrate too much or not enough, can't please the unreasonable.

 

[Chunky09]

Both results today were essentially decided by highly dubious ump decisions, league is either the worst officiated in world sport or flat out corrupt, it’s embarrassing

 

[TheKanga]

Eat shit WCE
Eat shit Yeo you sook

 

[hotchilli]

It’s so inconsistent. Curtis took 3 blokes on and dropped it and nothing. Similar things happened all games both ways and then they pay that shit? No one is going to want to pick the ball up soon

The one where he was tackled high?

We deserved to win because we kicked the highest score. I hope this helps.

25 scoring shots to 19. Game wasn’t really close

West Coast are shit.

Only a truly shit side would lose to this North side on their home deck.

 

[Headless]

Ok North, good win fair enough.
But settle down a bit. You’re celebrating like you just won the flag - you barely held on against the reigning wooden spooners.

Nah. Those wins mean heaps.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Bloody well done North, get the monkey off your back, hopefully the first of many. Very happy for you

 

[Coasters7]

Shit. Didn’t realise the winner was decided by scoring shots. You better write an email to the AFL and let them know the wrong team won.

You brought up the fact they were 0-12. They played like an 0-12 team and should be walking home with nothing

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Another bugbear of mine: senior players calling for the ball from inexperienced teammates when it is absolutely the wrong option like either Petruccelle or Darling (probably both) calling for Flynn to pass the ball to them, down by 10 with about 50 seconds on the clock.

The ONLY way you can win from there is backing the guy with the ball in his hand to kick the goal from 45m out, there is simply not enough time to pass to a teammate for an easier set shot and then kick another goal from the resulting ball up. Amazing how many senior players apparently carry themselves like it's primary school lunchtime and they just call for the ball regardless of the circumstances.

And if the ump pays high to Wardlaw we aren’t even discussing it.

 

[CrowToon]

Curtis kicked the sealer. Whats the issue

You are here to troll so what's the point of explaining basic timelines to you?

AFL would say that the decisions were perfect, because they delivered the results they wanted.

 

[CrowToon]

When should they have done that?

 

[Roosurgence]

Correct.

Lucky we played a shit side.

 

[apollo_creed]

But they’re not. And your team lost at home to a team who hasnt got within 7 goals of an opposition all season. Lol.

Good gutsy win North, Eagles came and North stood up. And for all complaining about the free, Williams had the ball up the other end and didn't take his chances so maybe look at the Eagles decision making and not a properly called free. (He dragged it in and didn't try and get rid of it, alway has been a free)

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Time to watch some real football

Checks fixture

St Kilda!!

Waiting for the many contradictions from Plugger

 

[chickenonachain]

To all west coast supporters go **** yourselves

 

[cactuscall]

North are now even money with Sydney to win the premiership, just ask them!

 

[Roosurgence]

When should they have done that?

The Yeo tackle made contact high.

The way the clubs wanted it changed you have to expect inconsistencies.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Eagles kicked themselves out of the game, but that HTB against Yeo at the end was ****ed.

He won the hardball, and got penalized for it? I'm sorry, but if the AFL sign off on that decision as "technically" correct the game is gone

exactly, let's now wait for ever-excellent missive from AFL House on Tuesday.

'The umpire made a technical error, but was unknowingly unsighted and/or, and/or.....(some BS excuse)'

AFL executives earned 1.3 million annual salary on average back in 2022...

...let that income-to-delivery on umpiring qualilty ratio sink in!

 

[SC_Power]

We deserved to win because we kicked the highest score. I hope this helps.

If you want to take a comment out of context.... Do you deserve to win because of the umpires giving you a win after you botched it yourself? I'm guessing you'd say yes.
