Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 24 - Demons v Pies Fri August 24th 7:40pm AEST (MCG)

[LukeParkerno1]

Imagine having a superstar like Shultz in your side.. too funny

I raise you…

Imagine trading a top 10 pick for the bloke and letting a 5 times better player in Ginnavan walk out

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Weird that they would call it off due to lightning

Everyone knows that dead rubber is a terrible conductor

 

[KBLT]

Pretty symbolic of Collingwood and Melbourne's seasons tbh

 

[Whiskers]

So glad that the AFL just had to put Vic teams on the last Friday night at the G

Even as a Victorian. What a stupid choice this was. Neither looked like making it at the time.
Why do important games have to all suddenly be on a Sunday? Why not put them in prime time slots?
Very confused.

AFL doing the right thing here. Soccer players have been killed by ️lightning ️ overseas. ️

So that the season can "go down to the very last game"

 

[WCfan22]

Good to go at 11.45pm?

look like he was hit by Homer's make up gun.

 

[10571z]

We may as well come out turbo and try and score 10 goals while Melbourne are asleep

 

[YeoShuey]

You know what else is a fail? This commentary team.

 

[Mister B]

On Fox Footy, John Ralph talking about the break in play for severe weather and suggests there is nothing important about the final 10 minutes except Daicos winning the 3 Brownlow votes. This is reflective of the dire state of football media where the journalists are just cheerleaders with accreditation around their neck. Pathetic.

 

[Tedeski]

Everything against the Pies. This has stopped the Pies from winning by 150 points & making finals.

 

[MF]

Even God is sick of this game and wants it to end.

If there was a god those pies players would still be out there

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Under the circumstances, why couldn't both teams do a Basketball thing and drop the ball in the middle of the ground and walk off.

 

[Mister B]

Everything against the Pies. This has stopped the Pies from winning by 150 points & making finals.

Wouldn’t happen at the MCG…

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Buckley and Lewis’s argument is absurd.

is 6 foot whatever, if bends down to pick up the ball, he gets hit high, if he slides down for the ball, he gets hit high.

Pickett played the man and not the ball, and bumped hit, it’s the most textbook suspension there is, I don’t understand the argument?

 

[Randomizor]

My god these commentators have absolutely nothing to talk about

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What is it about and Melbourne and suspended games? Three of the last four now. Lights out at the Gabba and the Perth game a few years ago.

Very confused.

Only this year because the majority are non vic. If it was majority Vic the hands would be the first three played in the round.
Another AFL fail.

 

[Whiskers]

So that the season can "go down to the very last game"

Yeah it still doesn’t make sense. You want people watching the big games I thought?
What difference does it make if it’s the 9th game of the round?
A dead rubber can be last game or Saturday twilight, yet it’s still a dead rubber.
AFL doesn’t want us watching games before Sunday?
So weird.

Well they could talk about the game itself and the tactics the sides have been employing. But then they’d have to actually have half an idea of what they’re talking about.

We just spent a ****ing week arguing the choice to bump is enough and we suspend over the outcome rather than intent.

But now, it’s Moores own fault he got concussed and Pickett isn’t at fault.

He chose to bump and caused a player to get concussed. The standard has been set already.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Soooo. Is it about to be called?

 

[ElectricG]

I’m hoping we can get more of this deep dive on why the Victorian player shouldn’t be suspended for taking a bloke’s head off and concussing him.

 

[Gammalite]

Good news at least as got to see the NRL Brissy Bronco's late win on channel 9 in the last few minutes, while AFL taking a lightning tea-break.

Wonder if Essendon will bring Big game to the Gabba tomorrow or cruise out for early holidays with the Pies and Dees without breaking anything?
