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

[BringFevBack2021]

I mean, they didn't loose us the game, but I'd hope people could see past their irrational Collingwood hate to question why a former player was allowed to umpire his old team. Coupled with the free kicks count it's probably worth a discussion.

Hahahahahaha nice melt holy ****

 

[Tigerandy63]

I have never enjoyed getting my tip wrong as much as I have tonight. My Collingwood mate, Owen Three not that thrilled though.

 

[crackertiger]

Umpires have abandoned them lol. They are stuffed....

 

[PieLebo87]

So cruel that it can only happen to Collingwood, in a flag defence, to be sitting 0-3 after Round 2.

Explain that one to your kids…

 

[Arr0w]

By end of year I think he will be rated

very hard at, good speed and agility, good power, and now he's showing he can win the ball.

Tough honest footballer, love those types

I didn’t see too many decisions that I’d describe as contentious unless you were a pies fan with a tin foil hat.

Basically the Higgins one is the only real one I’d say was clearly wrong (and that wasn’t fisher).

I’d have far more questions about umpiring in pies favour in the prelim last year v GWS. Again no conspiracy, but that was a legit close game where all close calls went pies way in last 10 mins.

Saints clearly better side tonight.

 

[Arr0w]

Agree with all of that, honourable mention to Leigh Fisher, that was his best game for the Saints to date as well.

You were spanked, but have time to redeem yourselves

 

[longdonkey]

Seeing a lot of outrage from Pies fans about a former St Kilda player being able to umpire a Saints game.

Not seeing much concern from them about a former Collingwood player being appointed the Match Review Officer who determines sanctions for Collingwood players.

Didn't Fisher play for Carlton.

 

[Blue1980]

Worse. Both teams will finish Bottom 4, bookmark it.

No, bookmark it.

Thoughts on Michael Christian determining MRO sanctions for his old team?

 

[Freomaniac]

LOL! Melbourne kicked 100 points in 40 minutes... but yeah it was umpires

That 2nd half of that 2021 grand final was nuts though.

Remarkably, Bulldogs got off very lightly. Bulldogs were Lucky Liam Jurrah wasn't in that 2021 grand final game lol

 

[Elixuh]

Daicos didn’t get chaired off after his 50th - best 50 games ever.

Wonder where cal rates tonight

 

[melbun]

Saints did not let me down.
I tipped a 15 point margin.

 

[Blue1980]

Pies are destroying sergeant Schultz

In fairness he is a small forward in a side not playing well, unlikely he will look very good.

I’d give it time but he has been underwhelming so far.

 

[YeoShuey]

No Roaming Brian tonight?

 

[Tristan34]

Wow! Lions, Hawks, bye then Port,.
Brutal draw for the pies...

 

[RAPPA]

He doesn’t like contact so there’s no way he’s letting anyone near his body

 

[Blue1980]

Saints did not let me down.
I tipped a 15 point margin.

I tipped them by 9, gutted pies couldn’t find another goal

 

[projectv]

No Roaming Brian tonight?

He's had to go and quickly learn our players names.

 

[YeoShuey]

Wow! Lions, Hawks, bye then Port,.

Port probably their best chance at winning.

 

[Hollow Knight]

No Roaming Brian tonight?

BT sounded absolutely morose on the final siren. Don’t think he has it in him tonight.

 

[Dees 87]

Will get them to watch a 30 minute documentary on Nick

A Herald Sun article rating games 51 - 100 could be rugged reading

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

Thoughts on Michael Christian determining MRO sanctions for his old teateam

Agreed that could be a conflict of interest, but there are other checks in place there (just look at the Maynard incident last year), and it doesn't directly affect the outcome of a live game.

 

[Hoops]

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.

They were good until the last quarter. When the Saints got the rub of the green

 

[Blue1980]

Wow! Lions, Hawks, bye then Port,.

As much as I’d like it to happen, I think they will break their duck v hawks and prob beat port at the G if they have got off the beers, coke and hookers by then.
