Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 24 - Cats v Eagles Sat Aug 24th 1:45pm AEST (GMHBA)

[Bunnings]

If the cats have a ordinary qtr the Hawks have a chance.

Of 8th?

 

[Roobs321]

eags might win this quarter!!!

dunst a while back even said we were 'dominating contested possession' this quarter

 

[Bunnings]

it would be a bit embarrassing if Geelong wins by less than 100 after leading by 100 at halftime

What’s the difference, on the road week 1 either way most likely

Yes we would be humiliated.

 

[situationz]

hence why I only said "a bit"

Geelong can lock in 2nd if they can win by 140-150 points, pending loses by both Port and GWS

 

[Roobs321]

feel like duggan is such a battler that he is always thinking a tad ahead and that means the fundamental of a clean first gather goes wanting, got tackled twice when he could've pushed a score

 

[situationz]

21-6 free kicks... how long till Eagles fans start complaining the umps cost them the game?

 

[Roobs321]

I've noticed Dunstall talking kindly regarding Waterman during the game, then came out with the AA discussion which was sensed between his lines

"geez this is a quarter he is playing"

 

[Delisted]

Of 8th?

Nah beat hawks score to add interest in the game

 

[stallon]

Dare I say it... a comeback?

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Eagles have been a lot better this quarter, but talk about Geelong's intensity dropping off isn't good enough. It isn't the time. The difference between a 80 point win and a 120 point win from here is potentially huge. Pull your fingers out, Cats.

 

[bzparkes]

Man, imagine if this was reversed and at Optus? Commentators would be apopleptic.

Oh they already had a go at that in the first quarter.

 

[Bunnings]

One of those will win

Agreed, the umpires really have made all the difference today.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Not sure about that

 

[Visions]

This. The possibility of a home final would have been enticing at half time. But thats gone now.

 

[Roobs321]

won the quarter by 16

 

[situationz]

wow, if Freo and Dogs win the Cats might regret taking it easy this 3rd quarter... could end up playing Port in Adelaide instead of Geelong

 

[bzparkes]

Agreed, the umpires really have made all the difference today.

Not the point at all.

I don't even care about the count, just calling out the muppets in the cheerleading box who do nothing but say 'Noise of affirmation' every ****ing time a free is paid at Optus but absolute crickets when a Vic team is more than 3x their opponent's frees at their home ground.

You'd still be losing by 10 goals.

#MEGAVICBIAS!

#MEGAVICBIAS!

It is when we have to put up with Vic-based commentary teams calling our home games and they say 'noise of affirmation' every ****ing time.

Sick of these dipshits. Hope the lot of them get the arse.

 

[Luuuc]

The idea that a well-umpired game necessitates an even free kick count - regardless of how the respective teams are actually playing - has always amused me.
