Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 2 - Saints v Pies Thurs March 21st 7:30pm AEDT (MCG)

Erin is a pretty bad interviewer.

Almost as bad as Basil

 

[Scythe94]

Quite a few of them in recent times. 2016 and 2021 comes to mind.

An umpires premiership when Melbourne finished outright top of the ladder and won three finals by a combined margin of 190 points? Righto.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Delicious

 

[Hollow Knight]

Umpires shumpires… The media will focus on the Pies but the Saints were clearly the better team.

They played well.

 

[Linda Lovelace]

Pies will be 0-4 after next week

We indeed will be. And yet we will still have won flags this millennium.

 

[YeoShuey]

Umpires did a great job tonight. As a neutral fan I don’t think any side got the rub of the green.

Very fair officiating all round.

Agreed. They should have Fisher umpire the Saints every week. He was exceptional tonight.

Was Eric Bana wearing a Pies scarf?

Saints man he is.

 

[RAPPA]

shocking umpiring - collingwood didn’t deserve their 14 free kicks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Mihocek is not offering anything, no big men uo front for the pies.

Honestly would drop

Put JDG forward honestly he’s actually their best tall anyway

 

[Freomaniac]

Higgins!!!

Goal of the year!!!

BT sooking.

That was out of bounds!!!

Never think I would say this.... Collingwood were the under dogs and were screwed over.

28 to 13 free kick count saints way. Then you got Ross Lyon tactics on top of that lol

 

[Blue1980]

Also sides winning more of the ball tend to get more free kicks.

Saints 50 more possessions, 12 more inside 50s.

Uncontested possessions usually tell a story about work rate, 246 to 202.

Very classy Collingwood fans, very classy.

Every single game their feral fans do this.

Very classy Collingwood fans, very classy.

Only Collingwood fans do this too. Time for another internal report.

 

[Lach72]

Top ten pick for Lachie Schultz.

 

[projectv]

Welfare check on BT?

 

[Underdog]

Saints man he is.

I know, which is why I thought it was weird that he'd wear a Pies scarf. I must be mad

Big win Saints.
A bit wonky at the end giving up 4 goals with loss of concentration. But a big big win and plenty more upside.

Pies 1991esque.

[Foucault1989]

Oh it was Seb Ross' 200th game. Didn't mention it during the call...funny that

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Why is that not reviewable? So incredibly far out of bounds.

Was it really though? Only just out

 

[YeoShuey]

An umpires premiership when Melbourne finished outright top of the ladder and won three finals by a combined margin of 190 points? Righto.

That’s a topic of convo for another thread lol. I do hold that belief though as I don’t just look at the GF but the totality of the season and it was very similar to Collingwood’s where different rule books were applied across the board. As I mentioned though, that’s for another thread.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Top ten pick for Lachie Schultz.

Top 10? Will be top 5 the way the Pies are going.

Pendles and Sidebottom are probably regretting not retiring at the top

 

[Arr0w]

Tough win by the Saints

Should be pushing for more games at the G, where they can exploit sides with all their runners

NWM is a star. Loved Wilson in his draft year

Windhager very underrated

Oh it was Seb Ross' 200th game. Didn't mention it during the call...funny that

Apparently it was Nick Daicos's 50th, only just found out.

AFL scorecard has crapped itself
