Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 19 - Bombers v Crows Fri July 19th 7:40pm AEST (Marvel)

[Go the Guts]

Momentum changed when Caldwell.went off

What? Momentum changed when Adelaide lost 2 of our 3 key defenders - Murray and Butts - in the first half. It allowed Essendon's forwards to run rampant against wingers trying to defend tall units, and they capitalised on unbelievably biased umpiring.

Last time I heard that September holiday chant it was 2018 from Port fans. They were entrenched in the 8 until we beat them and they then shat the bed and also missed the 8.

Would hate to see that happen again…

 

[kozi]

Not many actual defenders in Essendon’s backline

 

[t_94]

Ordinary side the bombers just got some early momentum off the back of a soft draw.

 

[Checksider]

Nice to be on the other end of a close game for a change.

On a side note, what the **** was that umpiring. Definitely bought into the Dons hype.

 

[Back One Out]

Anyone who watched that know the league cheated that game.

It's not the AFL... It's Channel 7... They have rigged the competition for the TV ratings.

They desperately want Carlton, Essendon and Collingwood in the top 8
It's gonna be some poor TV ratings this September without strong Big 4 involvement

Carlton d Fremantle - gather round umpiring, the smother, the mark, the 2nd free for dispute - RIGGED
Essendon d Adelaide - Sam Draper non free - RIGGED
Adelaide d Essendon - 1 free kick goal vs 6 free kick goals - RIGGED

You watch the Hawks get hosed by the umps tomorrow at the MCG. I'm predicting Nicky Daicos will be given protected species status by all 4 umpires while the Hawk on-ballers will be scragged from pillar to post and receive no frees.

1. Sydney
2. Carlton
3. Geelong
4. Brisbane
5. Fremantle

Still crying about a final played 12 years ago, you whinging sook???

Crows fan confirming the stereotype that Adelaide are the biggest bunch of babies of any AFL fanbase

Got plenty to whinge about unfortunately mate. You wouldn’t know, following one of the most gifted sides going around.

Why wouldn’t someone be pissed off about that absolute disgrace of a Prelim? We’ve continued to cop **** treatment from the league since then too. Of course we’re pissed about it.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Yeah it is difficult to play missing a spine and having a strained heart string

Plenty of heart in that winning goal

 

[Scritchyscroony]

That will sting Bombers fans, should not have lost that match from the position you'll in with 5mins to go.

They're used to it.
They'll be fine.

 

[ossie_21]

Gone quiet in here??

Surprised that this one hasn’t been deleted too

Spine and heart seemed alright as he kicked the winning goal.

Bunch of babies.... Always the umpires... Never your own players

You are a sook.

It has, hasn’t it.

Righto mate.

Your team had its own hashtag with the umpires FFS.

 

[Hobbes]

Rachele sucks. I’d hate to have a player like him in my team. Talented offensively but doesn’t go hard, plays for himself and has no defensive game.

That aged well.

We should've been in front by more vs Freo anyway, were inaccurate.

 

[windyhill]

Crows owe Ess hard, revenge in the air after that big lumps antics for that final play and the re-enactment after the game. Rankine is a huge miss.

And then the fckn idiot hits the post. Well played Crows fully deserved. draper has the worst ball drop in football history, but he’s a character, so nothing to see here.

You’ve been backing one out all night.

Might be time for some Imodium!

 

[skittlebrew]

What a shambles. Defensively still bang average. Far too many passengers again. Play the kids. Go to the draft again.

No point going to the draft with Dodoro at the helm, Helen Keller has a better strike rate.

Crom have the same issue, garbage talent id and development. Battle of the ***** tonight.

This result was absolutely karma to that flog for his flopping disgrace and subsequent re-enactment after the game to his team mates. Sucked in Draper.

Apart from our last 4 drafts, where we have nailed nearly every single pick. Including getting Soligo at pick 36, etc.....

Imagine if Brisbane still.had Keays in their side?

Nice call.
