Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 2 - North v Freo Sat March 23rd 1:45pm AEDT (Marvel)

Yeah I'd agree with that. Has Brodie been a bit of a liability on the spread? Inside mids need another string to their bow these days. Reminds me of Kennedy from carlton. Just lacks the mobility to be a modern mod.

Spot on.

 

[fnerd]

Zac Fisher looks far too happy after a loss....more interested in being best mates with the oppo

Tbf I’m pretty sure he’s mates with a few of the freo boys

 

[Lingsface]

Glad we beat the angry racist coach

If what he said the other week was said in a aflw match would it of been an issue?

 

[Sully90]

Was confident in us coming back but far out I'd like JLo and the team to work out those starts. Been an issue for a long time now

 

[Sully90]

He is lucky he is good at playing football, he would probably be a brickies labourer or a garbo if he wasn't.

Yeah but he'd be awesome at those things as well

 

[Mesc]

Good win Freo, gotta turn up quicker than that though. Phew.

Is there something wrong with those two occupations ?

Mature win by Fremantle. They normally drop these ones and hurt their season, but they stood strong.

 

[Mr Cheese]

True, you know he'd be the best garbo ever, and probably just as happy.

No , he’d probably just be playing basket ball at NBL level

They stood Serong.

 

[chaddy22]

Has Amiss done enough for sleep? I heard insomnia helps him.

JK, Great win Freo.

His one goal three behinds is more then some of the Demons key forwards can manage.
I noticed him in general play up at the wing and i am sure he centred one in the last quarter which i think ended in a goal assist.
Don't worry i would rather have him at west coast in front of Van rooyen.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Its an omen when Matt Taberner look unstoppable.

Will be out for 3-4 with a soft tissue injury if history is any guide.

 

[Mr Cheese]

Depends if it was accurate or not, so 50/50 I guess.

In all seriousness, though, no.

GGs. North has some talent for sure, but it can be hard for the young players to run out games consistently.

I'm not sure the running is the problem, so much as the physical side. The amount of tackles that were a limp arm easily burst through in the last but would have stuck in the first seemed quite high. That affects the running as well though, its hard to run when the body isn't used to taking those knocks. Really, it impacts everything, decision making gets tired as well.
But the problems are far more than just being a young, undeveloped, side.

What was the official crowd number today?

17,589

 

[Foucault1989]

17,589. That's grim.....

Likely only 12,000 North fans rocked up...

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

17,589

Looked less than that. I guess it’s passable.

Hopefully we’ll see a few more North supporters on Good Friday.

 

[Iamspock]

That Mcketcher is a beautiful kick. North have some serious talent, just lack another quality tall forward and a couple of tall backs.

I'm sure the next draft hand-out will fix that for them.

 

[Plugger35]

Is there something wrong with those two occupations ?

No there isn't but they wouldn't get paid anywhere near as well as being an AFL footballer.

 

[fnerd]

17,589. That's grim.....

I’m sure north supporters will have an excuse for it… time slot/opposition/eddie McGuire/cost of living crisis/marvel stadium etc

 

[chaddy22]

I think you saw the good and bad of the Kangaroos. More bad then good.
They will have a strong midfield when they mature but they will come across a lot of very mature better midfields this season.
Some will try to excuse the fade out to being a young side but they have a lot to fix up.
North's backline is terrible and they will come across sides with two or three key forwards who will expose them.
The forward line is not as potent as it will need to be. Even with two KPD out thru injury North couldn't exploit.
North are a work in progress.
As for Freo they were impressive. A lot of criticism about Longmuir being boring but when a team plays with that much passion maybe it is unjustified and i am looking at the segment of dockers supporters who think he is boring.

 

[fnerd]

It likely would’ve been 13 points with 8 minutes left. Would’ve been interesting for “never a chance”. Very fortunate umpiring mistake in Freo’s favour.

Chin up champ , at least that’s something else you can go in hand to the AFL for and demand assistance
