Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 22 - Swans v Pies Fri Aug 9th 7:40pm AEST (SCG)

[rdhopkins2]

Lotto? Both perfect examples of the rule being applied correctly.

A harsh precendent has now been set for the rest of this week, if that’s the case!

 

[Zevon]

Hey Zevon I was right I just knew lol

You are a savant.

Asking you for tipping advice for the remainder of the season.

Will be interesting to see if Heeney gets Brownlow votes. I mean he should get 3, but we will see if the umpires basically refuse to give the votes to players who are not eligible to win. That really should not affect getting the votes though.

He should get all the votes let alone the 3.

 

[chaddy22]

He has heard of them Chadstar, but isn't a big enough dipstick to go back 30 years to bring some irrelevant side into it that has nothing to do with 2024. Keep your posts on topic.

Calling collingwood a great travelling side is a joke when they do so little travelling.
Do they count the games that they travel from the MCG to Marvel as away games
So far this year they have lost three away game a dn only won two games away and drew one

Oh my

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Are the campaigners in yellow down in the sydney rooms too?

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas.

Please don’t tell me Miss The Orange Team Kelli was commentating

At least she gives a shit.

 

[YeoShuey]

Man I am not salty in the slightest, we take your pick 6 and got Jye Amiss

You guys got a player who's role is to be on the injury list

I’m glad that teams are starting to use Fremantle as a development territory.

Allow the players to progress to a point, and then trade them to better teams. Rinse and repeat.

Easy to be a great travelling side when you travel so little that each time you leave your own state it is a novelty.

Absolutely 50, gutless umpiring. But it happens all the time late in games so par for the course. It’s not why we lost.

Hopefully Pies supporters don’t cry about it for quite as long as opposition supporters sooked about Greene.

WHAT! Pies supporter complaining about a lack of 50 have very short memories, only beat North because the umpire was too scared to call a blatant running over the mark!

Good riddance this year to the oldest team in the league

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lol, you got away with one there, probably leave it at that.

Sure but let’s not pretend the one against Blakey (who is as dumb as a plank for giving the silly ump a reason to) wasn’t a complete flop. Let’s call it relatively even. Probably our only game at home we’ve been vaguely on the right end of the umpiring

 

[LukeParkerno1]

At least she gives a shit.

At getting players names wrong?

I agree the non-50 is not the cause of the loss, and not complaining, just acknowledging it. Merely pointing out that the umps rarely have the balls to make a “deciding” call on a game, even where it’s obviously there.

It was an observation but cute how wound up you got to try and one up me?

 

[Elixuh]

So what’s the plans for September pies fans?

 

[blue harvest]

Lost by 22 points but those umpiring errors directly resulted in a 4 goal turn around.

No they didn't. That was just a salty Sydney journo making up that story about AFL saying it cost 4 goals. You've been called out on this before. It was 4 decisions, not 4 goals.

Umpires are all terrible I’m past relying on these campaigners win or lose. As a side you just have to be better than them. The new HTb interpretation has made it worse not better and blame the people in charge there

Don't choke in the finals again! Good luck.

Exactly. Swings and roundabouts. In what has been an incredibly even comp this year it exacerbates the margin required to be better than your opposition.

The Pies last year were maybe five percent better than the chasing pack, and this year five percent worse than the glut of teams in prime position for finals. Our fortunes have probably fallen where they ultimately deserved to in both seasons, irrespective of umpiring anomalies and inconsistencies. As the margins continue to get thinner those anomalous decisions will stand out more and more, but ultimately you’ve just got to be better than it and rely on your performance to overcome a bad run with the whistle.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

So what’s the plans for September pies fans?

Will have plenty of time to rewatch last year’s grand final. Best of luck to your mob, hope you end up with something similarly satisfying to do over the summer.

PS. Reamed by three points.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Don't choke in the finals again! Good luck.

Whatever, mate. Umpiring is diabolical across the board most weeks. Hardly surprising, when the game is basically codified chaos. I really don’t know what the answer is, short of completely changing the game.

Maybe we got lucky tonight. I wouldn’t know. I was at the game and I saw a few very dubious frees given to your guys. Swings and roundabouts.

 

[RUNVS]

No they didn't. That was just a salty Sydney journo making up that story about AFL saying it cost 4 goals. You've been called out on this before. It was 4 decisions, not 4 goals.

4 decisions that lead either directly to Bulldogs goals or stopped Sydney from scoring goals.

It was actually 4 non-calls that lead directly to Bulldogs goals. Even Boyd's famous goal was preceded by Frankling having his arm yanked down which caused a mark to be spilled.

Yawn. They probably do what the rest of us do. Read your juvenile, predictable posts and then have a laugh when Brissy bomb out.
