Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 16 - Tigers v Blues Sun June 30th 3:20pm AEST (MCG)

[Black Saab]

Nah waiting on Martin to return if he ever gets fit. Or Cottrell

He seems the odd man out in a very good team.

Still think Ollie Hollands can be suspect at times too. He's got youth on his side though but we'll miss Docherty come finals imo.

 

[branedotorg]

Is Fantasia really best 22?

Best 25ish, Matthew Cottrell and Jack Martin would be ahead in the role he's in

Even without Doch the Blues look very good. If you win the flag it will be really hard on him.

Bolton's set shot routine is just bizarre ...!

I mean, seriously, who is coaching setshot kicking at Punt Road?

I’m open to trade him. He’s all icing and no cake

He'll do a Bob Murphy.

hmmm, let's not throw away a top 20 player in the league (cream on top as you say).

those elastic band legs are what give so many highlights, just need to teach him to stiffen them when going for set shots, not sure why he is perennially falling over in static situations.

At least he hasn't done a Brett Deledio.

We shouldn’t need to keep teaching him he’s 26 this year by the time our young brigade come into their prime and we stand contending again he’ll be 30+ and will lose his currency.

I’d rather take a punt on 2 first round picks than keep Bolton for 4 years left of his prime rotting away in a bottom 4 side.

It would be better for him too to go to a side that’s contending to win a flag, would give them a massive edge as he is an icing type X factor player.

Constantly underestimated is Fantasia.

He’s been building nicely and a huge step forward today , 4 goals and very clean up the ground by foot.

He ain’t coming out any time soon!

We were decent for a while but Blues were always going go break it open at some point. They look top shelf this year.

We couldn't slow the bleeding when we needed to, but I thought our KPPs were pretty decent across the ground, especially keeping Curnow and Mackay relatively dry, we got smashed by the midfielders and small though.

Not a bad win for a ‘mid table’ Club

Blight is a very good addition, looked comfortable at the level

 

[Thrawn]

Every time I see Blight, I think of this character:

LOL More excuses

Not called the Tiger Army for nothing

3 premiership in 4 years, 100,000 members.

Blues won’t even come close to that in the next decade, bookmark it.

 

[Kernafides]

Sad to see but Martin is done

 

[tiger_tough]

Blues just too good for us. Capitalised relentlessly on all our horrible turnovers.

My biggest worries pre game were McKay and Curnow, but it was the little guys that did the damage. Bugger.

 

[Bagger72]

Richmond supporters did not show up today over half were Blues supporters by far.

Talking about fairweather,

For the bullants maybe

Carlton did what I expected them to do to be honest the most I got out of today were how good the 2 mid season draft picks Richmond got are... the key forward in the reserves today had a blinder then Blight playing like a veteran nearly today was super impressed.

it was a better day to be a KPD than KPF with the rain but even with that qulaifier Blight had an assured debut, looked like a 50 game defender and has an AFL ready body too. Great pickup for the tigers.

The KPDs did very well against the talls. It was the smalls that primarily hit the scoreboard but good signs for the tigers.

Can people not read, **** me. They have to blow the whistle. The quarter ends when the Umpire hears the siren and brings play to an end by blowing a whistle and holding both arms above their head.

Seriously our schooling system can not be so shit that people are failing to comprehend a rather basic writing of a rule. You would all be correct in your comprehension but is is the phrase "Bring play to an end" that means that there is a scenario where all the umpires hear the siren and keep play live for 1 minute after it.

Hell here is ChatGPT interpreting the rule as well

Certainly! Here’s an interpretation of the rule:

1. End of Quarter Trigger: The quarter officially ends when a field Umpire or an emergency Umpire hears the siren that the Timekeepers sound to signal the end of the quarter.

2. Umpire's Acknowledgment: Upon hearing the siren, the field Umpire must acknowledge it.

3. Bringing Play to an End: The field Umpire then stops the game by blowing a whistle and raising both arms above their head.

In essence, the end of the quarter is marked by the Umpire's acknowledgment and physical signal after hearing the siren.

You can't comprehend. You added the 'and' above in the first paragraph. It's not a combination of the two.
All the whistle and arms are doing, is letting everyone else know that play has ended. The actual end of play is when the ump hears the siren. There's no wriggle room in interpretation.

Dude, it's just a round 16 loss. It's not that deep.
