Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 24 - Dogs v GWS Sun Aug 25th 12:30pm AEST (Mars)

[voorhees]

Hawthorn scare me. Any other team in the eight id feel confident

feel you..
thay are playing with freedom and confidence.
A team with nothing to lose is always scary

Plus they have multiple small forward options, and small forwards are difficult for our backline to contain at times.

Same. I reckon we'd beat anyone as long as it's not at AO. But the Hawks are the one team I'm most worried about. It's a shame we don't play the MCG more, I wouldn't have it at any other venue.

 

[Rod Stroker]

be that as it may..
going to be a cracking game

Hawks comfortably

 

[PerthBoy86]

Dogs have got the week 1 booby prize - the red hot Hawks!

Clearly Hawthorn are winning that one.

If I had to pick I'd say Dogs just, but genuine 50/50.

 

[Osho]

Himmelburg is a real panic merchant.

A weakness to be targeted by oppo.

 

[Colonial]

Jones is gone for a week and he stopped Hogan kicking quite a few.
Hawks will run rampant.

Yeah if Jones is rubbed out that'd swing it to Hawks. Whether Day plays too may factor.

 

[MtGHawk]

Hawks comfortably

Not so sure. A very even contest it will be. No clear favourite.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Grubby Greene’s tackle on English should get weeks. Jones is fine, head never hit the ground.

 

[Xtreme]

You're a different team (more confident and thus playing much better) than our last encounter.

Fear the Bont!!

I'd much rather face Brisbane (at the Gabba) or Carlton first up.

 

[Doggy]

Dogs have got the week 1 booby prize - the red hot Hawks!

Clearly Hawthorn are winning that one.

And melbourne is winning ... a fall down the ladder and into the abyss

 

[Dogs till i die]

Brisbane maybe but GWS are the real deal, they will be better with Daniels back in their team and dropping Haynes who is cooked

They also won't be playing their finals at this ground which hasn't suited them at all.

The ground and the wind didn't matter to a very similar GWS side last season when they beat the Dogs at Mars. Similar days with strong wind on both days. Major difference is that the Dogs travelling much better now than they were last year v GWS at Mars.

Didn't think the Giants coped very well with our pressure on the ball carrier today.

 

[Dogs till i die]

Again, such a shame Bulldogs never finish top 4

Incredibly our 7th place 15-7 record in 2016 would got us 3rd this year, Geelong probably finishing 3rd this season with 15-8.

 

[flamethrower]

After all the stress leading up to today's game, in the end we could have forfeited the game today, had a 2 week rest and still played Hawthorn at the G in 2 weeks.

Fremantle have out-Carltoned the Blues.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Have noticed that Hawk fans have a sudden keen interest in tacking technique.

When its a want to suit ones self's team, common sense goes out the window.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Jones gone for that tackle surely.

He had an arm free to brace the fall, but chose to hold onto the ball, players getting tackled need to protect themselves just as much as the tackler has to tackle with duty of care.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Gws and Brisbane are pretenders, will be out in straight sets

Umm Brisbane have not got the double chance to go out in straight sets

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

The Lobb lovefest makes me feel sick.

Still bitter i see.

 

[MtGHawk]

When its a want to suit ones self's team, common sense goes out the window.

Nope very aware Watto tries it on with high contact.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

You missed the point
