Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 2 - Swans v Bombers Sat March 23rd 7:30pm AEDT (SCG)

[YeoShuey]

If Essendon play like this on Anzac Day they should be ashamed. Faux toughness is an embarrassment

They may get some of their best players back by then.

 

[Bongo Drum]

Faux toughness Bombers, hilarious

"Essendon edge"

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Really disappointing that the bombers let this one blow out.
Very soft finish

can we borrow cripps' lawyer?

 

[YeoShuey]

Yes I will agree. Essendon were pretty good and gave us a lot of headaches. If they can produce tonight each week; they'll play finals

Usually they fall flat after ANZAC Day. Hopefully they win it and keep up the momentum all season.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

By the way I am an admirer of 2MP but the vision is diabolical.

 

[Arr0w]

If Essendon can bring that sort of intensity for a majority of the season they should be close to playing finals they were terrific tonight for a large majority of the game.

They outworked and outran and were clean around the ground.

Not even close

Started well in both their games then fall away

Lucky to beat an undermanned Hawks

 

[MF]

They mock shiel for being soft
Then sook when we show some physicality.

Short memories too. Only 2 years ago rowbottom went the snipe on merrett.

I don't have a major problem with it as he'll get his time off for it. Was a little soft a bloke his size to go into self preservation mode against a guy Cunningham's size instead of attempting the mark though.

 

[bzparkes]

Watson can barely get through a sentence AND he has a comb-over... how's this guy on TV

 

[citizen-erased]

Yeah I think the bombers will surprise a few this year

We need to get ridley and redman back asap.
Interestingly, someone will be stiff with parish back (suspect its hobbs).

Need another marking fwd. Hopefully nate caddy can come in soon and have an impact

They conceded 36 scoring shots, couldnt have done too much outworking. Also conceded 28 last week against what looks to be a very bad Hawks team. They do a fair bit right, but they cant challenge for finals unless they tighten up the defence across the ground a lot.

Ridley is a major loss. He is the type of defender that you need back to be successful.

Hopefully he returns soon.

 

[Coops93]

can we borrow cripps' lawyer?

He's only available when the Brownlow medal is on the line, sorry. Maybe if Wright moves to midfield and gets a few more touches

 

[Sarcoidevo]

What happened to Caldwell in the 2nd half ... tagged out of it?

probably anzac day.
need him and redman for the quality rebound.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

What happened to Caldwell in the 2nd half ... tagged out of it?

Looked like he had a knock / something wrong with his upper left leg. Wasn’t moving well at all

 

[the hypnotoad]

Is the audio ahead of the video on Kayo for anyone else? The umpire is blowing the whistle before the player marks it.

yeah, i was watching on foxtel go and had that impression more as the game went on

 

[YeoShuey]

probably anzac day.
need him and redman for the quality rebound.

Perhaps. Should be able to account for the Pies without them imo.

 

[citizen-erased]

Perhaps. Should be able to account for the Pies without them imo.

Hoping for a Nate caddy debut too

 

[Mister B]

If we were going the man we wouldn’t target ******* Cunningham lol.

When your big men are a bunch of cowards, absolutely they would target smalls like Cunningham.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Faux toughness Bombers, hilarious

It's Essendon Edge get it right will ya

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Watson can barely get through a sentence AND he has a comb-over... how's this guy on TV

He's the worst

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Pleased my mob did not over react on the ground.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

What happened to Caldwell in the 2nd half ... tagged out of it?

Pulled a heartstring.

Soft as butter.
