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

[Leather Poisoning]

Collingwood were hopeless after quarter time.

They really should have put Howe back at some point

 

[Eat_Pant]

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

It’s cold and their supporters are as soft as the Daicos bros

 

[Osho]

Nice win Bombers.
It's nice to see them turn things around from last week's less than nice performance.
Pies not quite at the level atm, it's a nice tight comp and being even a few % off the pace will have them out of contention.

 

[Plugger35]

Collingwood have lost their aura as the comeback kings.

 

[Vice]

Going to have a generation of games that are going to sound terrible in 20 years because we have BT calling them.

"it means a lot to everyone" that's the line you're going with at the siren?

 

[Bagger72]

Essendon is a surprising threat although in reality Collingwood are not very good.

 

[Smokey17]

Imagine the reigning premiers losing to a team that poses no threat.

Imagine smashing a team that is no threat all over the field, beating them by 2 goals and thinking you can compete with true contenders!

 

[The King!]

Collingwood pretty crippled to be fair and almost pinched it, not sure either side will do much this year unless the Pies get a few back.

 

[crackertiger]

I wonder what percentage of Nick Ducko's handballs are actually throws? Can we imagine a player winning a Brownlow with 10% of their overall disposals are actually technically illegal throws...

 

[Andronicus]

Imagine smashing a team the is no threat all over the field, beating them by 2 goals and thinking you can compete with true contenders!

Who said that?

 

[The King!]

Not a Merrett fan but he willed them home tonight

 

[Coolangatta]

Collingwood have lost their aura as the comeback kings.

Not as fit as they used to be. It’s the Blues who are finishing games strongly atm.

 

[Big Fresh]

There would have been an Essendon fan, somewhere, deluding themselves all week that they were a chance tonight. Hate to see it.

So true

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Who said that?

Imagine talking shit then pretending you didn't talk shit and it's in fact other posters who are talking shit.

Never seen a player look dead down the lens of the camera for a post game interview like Jye Caldwell

just did . Actually didn't look at the interviewer(not sure who she is) at all in the last response. Future media career.

 

[Osho]

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.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Ok now I believe the Bombers can lock up a top 4 spot, but it shows how weak the league is this season, except Sydney and Carlton.

They do have Freo, Sydney and Brisbane 3 of the last 4 games. They do need to beat Melbourne next week very badly. good win tonight though.

As for Collingwood, they look done. Won 3 of their last 7, two of them very narrow, umpire assisted goals against North and Adelaide at the 'G. They had to do it from 54pts down against North. They applied little pressure tonight and just didn't look hungry, which happens to premiership teams. They'll likely be out of the 8 at the end of the weekend. Means Essendon still would not have beaten anyone currently in the 8 if that happens....lol. To be fair 2 of their wins were against sides in the 8 at the time, although they are ending up turning to shit.

 

[Vindicater]

So...

If results for the rest of the ground go as expected Essendon would still not have won a top 8 team...

 

[tropicaltiger]

meritorious win by the Bombers (pun intended)

 

[justlookingaround]

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

 

[Andronicus]

BT is a pest.

 

[cactuscall]

BT is a pest.

A bumbling lump going around annoying people shoving a microphone in their face. Would avoid.

 

[tha Freak]

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.

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.
