Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 13 - Swans v Cats Sun June 9th 3:20pm AEST (SCG)

[Zevon]

Sheesh Zevon even we managed one lousy goal in the first quarter

Man, these posters that write teams off in the first quarter…

This is the good Sydney I expected. Going nuts now

 

[Plugger35]

The Swans could be in front at half time, incredible.

 

[RUNVS]

Who needs a forwardline i guess

Amartey started this.

Its the only way to jinx it to see a good game

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Swans doing what I've said for ages, just run through the cats and they crumble. The cats rely on the opponent doing the stupid dump kicks

 

[SuperSub17]

A lot of very premature calls in this thread.

This is almost exactly following the Sydney-Carlton game from a few weeks back.

Silly sausages.

All Geelong's start did was fire Sydney up.

 

[RUNVS]

That was not a mark.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

If you pick the ball up and instantly get tackled with an arm pinned, why is it holding the ball if you can’t somehow find a way to drop it on your boot? You get prior opportunity for a reason, that’s not prior.

Swans are absolutely rolling right now.

The prior opportunity was to knock the ball on, which is what teams did up until the introduction of prior opportunity rules. Fans love to say "the footy was better in the 70s and 80s" then whinge when it goes back to how it was in the 70s and 80s

That came up off McInerney's fist.

 

[Saint12]

The one thing I liked was the dissent 50 metre rule...what has happened to that

 

[scatman john]

Blakey plays backyard footy - just takes the pi$$. Love it. Not a fan of the bloke - player you’d enjoy on your team though

SCG is so small Heeney and Warner were probably like why even kick to their forwards who were spudding it up and just goal themselves lol

 

[The King!]

Umpires cost us the lead so far ,

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Isn't it amazing this year that the time to worry as a spectator is when your team is apparently cruising and 5 goals up.

yeah can see that, trouble is when it doesn't work it's frustrating

Maybe it's history but I always feel a bit nervous with the lead early , waiting for the team to switch off

 

[Red Bull]

Looking forward to some really good half time analysis of the umpiring and rules from some geniuses here …

I thought Mac Andrew was screwed with the free last night but if that didn't constitute dissent I don't know what does. They paid it for players shaking their heads or glaring at the umpire when it first came in. Now it's just non existent

You have a sound system to overcome the brain fades. He’ll never cost you a game but could win one

But have a giggle and a point at the screen and you get reamed.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Easy sydney 4-6 goal win from here.

Yeah I thought of that as I wrote it but didnt want to make it a personal whinge lol

 

[Romeoh1]

Never saw The Winning Streak DVD?

Nup- but think you’d have to go back to 2008 to see the dominant team lose the gf? It’s unusual.
