Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 16 - Swans v Freo Sat June 29th 1:45pm AEST (SCG)

[hoss]

Happy to win but that umpiring was absolute bullshit and needs looking into. You can't have two completely opposite interpretations of the same rule for different teams. Disgraceful.

Swans exposed for what the really are today I think.

Talk another them being the dominant clear best side was premature.

Can't wait to play them at the G.

Your midfield is about as quick as the Queen Mary sailing through crude oil, we’d relish the chance to play you on the wide open expanses.

Anyway, don’t want to take anything away from the Dockers who out-worked us for most of the game today. Well deserved win.

the stand rule is like a giant parasite sucking the life out of the game.

docker player looks like he didn't stand at all. cribbed a metre then leapt in the air and forward another half a metre on landing... I reckon it put mcdonald off.

mcdonald also snuck off his line. so if he scored it would have been mayhem.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Got over the line. Poor kick by Florent and McDonald in the last minute. Dockers best is very good but they can also deliver the occasional stinker. Good win by the Dockers.

So glad Freo won. Sydney didn't get the lead at any point in the game.

Again, happy Freo won. Needed a decent away win vs a top 8 side.

hmmm, depends which mix we play.
brayshaw, johnson, jackson, switta isn't slow. once its in general play. the inside mids can rotate with switta.

 

[Arcassius]

First thought is this will be a close game.

You called it from the start

He was referring to the Carlton poster

All good, agree with the above, I was responding to a Carlton poster so wasn’t talking about the Freo midfield. You’ve got a good mix.

ah, my bad.

we are kinda small though when we play our faster midfield though.

Top of the ladder

On top of the ladder…12 points clear.

A mulligan away from winning that despite never having the lead all game.

Hardly panic stations

Astute observation Matthew.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Freo at their best can beat anyone but I wouldn't be surprised if you lost your next game. There's performances like today, but there's ones like against West Coast. You're a Jekyll and Hyde team.

At the same time, undefeated in 7 of the last 9 games.

Meh. Sydney lost to Richmond. It happens. Got done by Sydney in Perth 2 days after Cam's death kicking 4.15 and a hard running Bullies away after the bye (when we always lose). Every other loss 10 or under. Hardly a Jekyll and Hyde.

 

[FreoGirl]

Great win Freo!!!

 

[FreoGirl]

I’m one of the 3 who picked the correct margin!!

 

[Toffee Lion]

Garbage in, garbage out.

I'm not sure if you actually read the fine print of my original post.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

For all the talk of "Freo haven't beaten a top 8 team!"

Now we have somehow beaten 3

 

[Black Saab]

Watching the game on delay and just saw the finish. Excellent game by the Dockers, really hard result for Logan and the Swans.

Sydney are just so clean and efficient with their ball movement. They have this over every other team in the comp.

The Dockers were impressive and their forward line is starting to shape up.

Actually blaming umpires?
Get real

Just knew the umps would be copping it in a 1 point loss and so it is.

They were terrible and made more than a few decisions that ended in either team scoring, so why shouldn’t they be scrutinised?
