Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 16 - Cats v Bombers Sat June 29th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

[Hoops]

When you bring in a 4th umpire, you bring in an umpire who would not be umpiring in the 3 umpire system. Precisely why the 3 umpire system is better.

You would think Geelong would have more frees than Essendon

 

[Bunnings]

Dangerfield non-suspension aside, anyone who thinks Walsh “flopped” has never played any degree of competitive footy and has most likely been at the bottom of the pool intelligence wise their entire life.

Amazing to think he did it deliberately, rather than was tackled forwards with his arms pinned while he ran at pace.

Thanks Malcom Blight

 

[Andronicus]

Not even hiding it.

 

[YeoShuey]

Umpire 2 metres away from the contest calls play on for a clear throw, while Mollison correctly pays the free from 50m away. Get him off already.

 

[Andronicus]

Haha that was every bit as much a throw as they just paid against Hind.

 

[Pivot Piece]

Essendon are done imo. Not too surprising though they’re really an 8-12th team cosplaying as a top 4 side.

 

[MJG14]

Clear throw from Dangerfield

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It makes me sick to see Dangerfield out there tonight. He should have been suspended after his disgusting tackle on Walsh last week.

He really shouldn't have been, and wasn't.
Dry your eyes.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Luckily Essendons draw is so easy they are a chance to stay in the 8

 

[Cesoir]

Yeah, I want Essendon to lose so we hold on to third place, but the umpiring in the third quarter was borderline corrupt.
Completely swung the momentum Geelong's way. Is it coincidence that multiple poor decisions go one way?
Anyway, go Cats!!!

 

[rado]

Bumbers folding like a deck of cards.

 

[nipst@r]

Even the Geelong highlights are what should have been ess frees.

 

[Elixuh]

Danger is playing that game you used to play in year 5 PE where you just throw the ball over your shoulder lol

 

[Black Saab]

You would think Geelong would have more frees than Essendon

Just goes to show how influential umpiring decisions are eh?

 

[Hoops]

So commentators are happy with that one

 

[HairyO]

Did Stringer renew his contract at 1/4 time?

 

[BandF]

I'm not one for blaming umpires, but Essendon are getting torched by them

 

[Rod Stroker]

LOL! Frauds.
And the Cats are missing Hawkins.
If only Ess could play bottom teams every week.
They might come good once Brad drafts Ziebell and Cunnington.

 

[Bunnings]

Touhey free identical to the one earlier, where is everyone spitting chips???

 

[Wojcinski]

so much crying tonight lmao

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Bumbers folding like a deck of cards.

Can you blame us? We didn't get rewarded for an entire quarter of good effort.

 

[Saint12]

That’s not even the ****ing interpretation. Had his hand ****ing held and no chance of actually disposing it legally

just like with Tuohy

 

[Andronicus]

Merrett pushed in the back.

Nah, play on.

 

[Tjblues]

Umpire just paid the exact same htb against Touhy as was “corrupt” against Ridley.

I hate the rule but they’ve been consistent with it for weeks
