Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 17 - Pies v Bombers Fri July 5th 7:40pm AEST (MCG)

Nice to beat a Pies side finally, although I know we got them at a good time. Don’t expect us to worry to many sides going forward, we have a lot of improvement to do.

enjoy the win,, it was a high standard game. bombers have quality.

Can you be any more depressingly morbid for Christ sakes?

Enjoy the victory. That was a supreme, brutal affair that required full commitment to the ball..and we out worked them in the second half at ground level, won the ball and delivered goals and scraped through.

Best effort by this EFC crew this year.

 

[brutus76]

The Cadbury Flaicos was very crumbly, fumbly tonight

Umps might still give him a Brownlow vote being GOAT and all

 

[Foxx]

That's gotta be N Daicos's worst game ever right?

It's a testament to Caldwell and Durham shutting down Daicos and Degoey.

 

[TheWeapon]

Essendon flat track bullies can only beat sides out of the 8 (if results go as expected end of round)

 

[Polly]

Gary Lyon needs an object stuffed into his mouth, I'd rather see him chomping on several souvlakis continuously than listen to his drivel and his slobbering lips slapping together like a giant seal's flapping flippers.

Asks Browny a question then cuts him off and answers it himself regularly.

 

[carnthedons]

We’re on here, dominated early but couldn’t convert. Howe dropped his “mark”, Draper legged for the first Crisp goal, multiple Daicos chucks. Water will find its level

Called it

 

[CCurnow3votes]

They couldn't.....

Correct

 

[Dave]

Funniest thing is, if Essendon win the Pies are likely out of the 8 by the weekend.

Will mean Essendon still would not have been anyone in the 8 this year...haha.

WB or GWS likely in for Coll to be out…..

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Any idea why the crowd is 15k less than what was predicted?

On Pixel 7 using BigFooty.com mobile app

They counted the crowd at 3 qtr time - after Pies supporters left.

 

[BloodRet]

essendon have to travel once in their last 12 games of the season. in the last round. im tempted to make a thread on how disgraceful that is

 

[Jimthegreat]

WB or GWS likely in for Coll to be out…..

It's a bit of banter but you might well be right.

We don't want GWS in there tomorrow though....haha.

Ok, just checked. GWS 50/50 being in Sydney, Dogs heading to Adelaide to play Port, another 50/50. GC playing North, so they could be the one's in.

Anyway, good win.

 

[windyhill]

And yet there don't appear to be any supporters of either club in the top 15 contributors

No that would be north fans death riding Benny McKay. What a pick up he’s been . Worth more than he’s getting.

We really are 2022 Collingwood. Which means 2025 is our year!

Keep your eyes forward!

We are all coming for you.

 

[fishardansin]

Collingwood have lost their aura as the comeback kings.

Perhaps people will start to understand what random actually is how it all reverts to the mean eventually.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Durham is a star

Yep, absolute jet

 

[Jimthegreat]

Oh yeah Brissie could make the 4, but still not convinced by them. Sydney, Carlton, Fremantle, Essendon my predicted top 4.

Yeah should be like 13th or something by rights, but yeah, they look cooked.

Yes, been mentally hard to the Pies for 3 years with all those comebacks. Mentally catching up now. Still, they have their flag. Brissie haven't been that convincing compared to other years but in such a weak year it could well be enough for top 4.

As a Carlton supporter I pray for those 3rds and 4ths....haha.

 

[Countryfooty1]

I feel like his leadership qualities this year have improved dramatically, he’s been brilliant so far this season

His biggest issue was previously he'd try to bring teammates into the play by giving handballs that weren't there. He's now starting to select the best option more often and back himself to execute

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

What a win really proud of the boys

The run had to end sometime..

If it's not Sydney, Brisbane or GWS, I wouldn't mind Carlton or Essendon to win the flag, been a long time between drinks...

 

[Dumpstar]

Collingwood, what are you doing. Ruined my night.

Merrett used to go chasing possessions behind the ball which looks good on the stat sheet but doesn’t help the side move the ball. Not doing it as much this season.

AFL just taking the piss this year if you look at all the weird fixtures and the difference in travel miles for the non Vic based clubs and particularly how the big Vic clubs almost never leave Vic towards finals.
They don't even try to hide the bias.

I must admit though, having Collingwood's first pick this year is looking like a sneaky bargain for us in exchange for Shultz.

 

[iBeng]

Aww man, I bet this thread was fun to watch live...
