Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 13 - Pies v Demons Mon June 10th 3:20pm AEST (MCG) The BIG Freeze

[kreuze_missile]

I'm a bit underwhelmed with Collingwood.

Melbourne are horribly out of form, lost their best player pretty much at quarter time - yet they should have been in front in the last quarter.


Collingwood were not a dominant team last year, and are not as good this year. There's not a lot of room for error IMO between then being a really good team, and an average one.

Collingwood were 9th on the ladder for a reason.

Likely will make up the numbers in the 8 but a tier below the genuine premiership contenders.

Agree - today our VFL team looked ordinary at times, KB game made them nervous, but still got the points.

Contenders ? Or contender ? Nobody is on the Swans tier, cute you think Carlton might be

 

[Atomboy]

No DeGoey, Cox, Eliot, Mihocek, yet won convincingly

Cox ?

 

[No SPIN]

Hopefully Naicos is cooked but I doubt it.

Is this where I offer the same appalling comment about Petracca?
Obviously not - adults know better..

No DeGoey, Cox, Eliot, Mihocek, Mitchell, McStay, Pendlebury yet won convincingly

FTFY

 

[Doc1763]

Melbourne are officially GAWN.
At least they can bask in the glory of their Covid Cup or whatever the hell they "won" in 2021.

 

[Downhill Skier]

I can’t see either of these teams challenging at the pointy end of the season tbh .

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

They are injury ridden. I think they are really missing DeGoey. Let’s see if anything changes after their bye in a few weeks time.

For sure.

But last year they weren't incredible. They literally were a goal or two difference every week (including finals and the GF) between being a good team and an average one. They fell over the line on a weekly basis.

A slight drop off, of even 2 or 3% would have made a significant difference to their season. And I think they have dropped off this year. Not heaps, but enough to not be able to carry the bad lapses they had during games last season.

It's not as if they were a dominant force that were 10 goals better than everyone else.

It’s “cute” that you are taking the two bye, soft draw, no injury Swans seriously.

We won’t see them again until our home game grand final.. but I expect it will turn out just like their last two finals at the MCG.

You’re forgetting about the massive armchair ride the umpires gave them.

Plus if Maynard hadn’t knocked out Brayshaw they would have lost, then faced Carlton in the semi, and we all know the blues would have destroyed them.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Won't get to enjoy the Dees going out in straight sets this year

Maynard was inspired today. Please keep booing him!
The way he poleaxed Fritsch just summed it up beautifully.

Never stoop to their level. Just enjoy our win.

danster168 get in here and give us the melt we are hanging for

I came in here really wanting to see his insights on the game.

So Sydney are no good because they haven't had injuries but you don't rate Collingwood who have half a premiership side injured and still beat your pretenders ?

Melbourne’s Flag team would destroy last years Collingwood side

You just worry about winning one yourself.

Yes that was another one of our lucky 38 point wins.
Melbourne were by far the better team on expected scores again

 

[Pera]

One game off second, and percentage out of the four after starting with a premiership hangover?

Alot of clubs should be very worried if we get key personnel back fit and firing in the second half of the year.

Same with that Melbourne 2023 almost-flag team, they should've smoked us!

Please consult your nearest ladder and show some respect to the Flaggers.

Pies were full strength when they faced Carlton and barely scraped over the line. We had 10 of our best 22 out.

Look forward to the rematch in a month. Have your excuses ready.

 

[Downhill Skier]

Fans don’ t win anything. The scary thing is that I actually believe you really think you played a major part in your team winning a flag

This is what 29 years of bitterness after a Salary Cap Premiership Cup looks like folks.

 

[Apex36]

Hi guys, just popping in to ask who won on expected scores, because we all know that’s the real winner.

Imagine what they would have done to the Swans 2022 runners up side.
