Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 19 - Freo v Demons Sun July 21st 3:20pm AEST/1:20 WST (OS)

[danster168]

I'm happy to embarrass you publicly following each of your callouts, so I look forward to the next one!

Remember it was you that called time on Melbourne's season after the first West Coast game - you folded like a deck of cards - fairly pathetic stuff.

Melbourne are looking ominous in 8th for sure. That win against the mighty Bombers, who were so good last night, was incredible.

huh? I have called time on Melbourne's season. what are you banging on about?

 

[Mr Meow]

I totally agree. The Petty 2 misses for goal and Langdon missing 2 were killers. Just needed 1 and the game would've been over. Didn't take their chances but the season was over before last night anyway so doesn't really make a difference

danster168 This was after the Brisbane game - you've been the most vocal Demons critic of late. Stop making this stuff so easy for me, unless you have a masochistic need to embarrass yourself on a daily basis.

huh what on earth are you talking about. you just proved me right? I said the season was over in round 11 when we lost to wce. so you show me a post of me saying it was 'well over' before a game in round 16.

Not surprised you can't keep up - standard danster fair. You were quoting a post of mine calling Melbourne pretenders, and they still are - evidenced by you waving the white flag weeks ago.

Essendon, and WCE at home - are not the bragging point victories you think they are. Both bottom 4 or even bottom 2 form lines. If they beat Freo tomorrow, then that's a win of merit.

incorrect. I'm not saying we're a flag threat. who actually thinks we are. You said that we couldn't win without Petracca. Not only that, we won without Gawn. And you focus on essendsons form last night but when we played essendon, they'd just beaten Collingwood and they were all the rage. Irrespective we won without petracca. more than once. So you were wrong. pointing out times when I was wrong doesn't change the fact that you were.

Beat some real teams minus Petracca and I'll give kudos. Bottom 2 form-line teams aren't litmus tests.

If this is all you have to look forward to with season 2024 you have already proven the point I made in April this year - Melbourne are pretenders, and have been since 2022. A Perth COVID flag is all this group was capable of.

incorrect. you said we wouldn't beat 'anyone'. you didn't stipulate which teams etc. Down go back on your comment now.

I made you aware of Melbourne's pretender status well before you came to that realisation. Done.

So it's a thread for two people with way too much time on their hands to piss and moan at each other?

 

[stax on the mull]

It's going to be physically harder for Petty and Van Rooyen to go again a second time in ruck - this time against Darcy and Jackson, so even though Melbourne mids had a successful trial run to a losing ruck last week, Freo rucks will provide more hit outs to advantage as well as winning their own clearances.

Travel will be a factor against Melbourne too, as they looked a bit tired in the latter stages of the last quarter against Essendon.

Freo by 20pts.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Freo should be winning this quite easily given their full strength, and are quite frankly better than Melbourne.

With how close the ladder is with win/loss I don't think 'should' comes into it. But if we want a shot at top 4, which we do, it's really important.

 

[melbun]

By how much do we think the Demons will win?

You’re simply a better side than Melbourne.

Fremantle have absolutely no business losing this game.

 

[cactuscall]

Danger! Danger!

 

[Dez!]

Wouldn't be surprised at all if we won this, don't expect it but wouldn’t be shocked.

Darcy is the worry in the ruck, Jackson's damage is done around the ground and his ruck work is a bit meh. In saying that Draper dominated the hitouts and it didn't beat Melbourne.

 

[Plugger35]

Hopefully the Dees put up a better performance against Freo than they did at Alice Springs.

The conditions should suit them more, it's more like Melbourne weather today in Perth so they should feel at home.

 

[Plugger35]

Not a great start for the Dees, they need to wake up or this could be another blowout.

[Boppo]

I wish I had a job at the AFL deciding game day strip..I’m colour blind so should be well credentialed.

as your 2nd choice ruck for a season shouldn’t be lost on anyone. Arrogance, negligence and just pure lack of forward planning. Getting what they deserve

 

[Mr Cheese]

Freo very wasteful. Should be 5 or 6 up. Melbourne need to do something about the clearances, either start sharking them or stick May in there. I've got no good ideas for them.

Yeah Petty and Van Rooyen

 

[Substance]

Who's the dees ruckman? Do they not have a gawn backup?

 

[Cool Kangas]

Go freo
