Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 24 - Lions v Bombers Sat Aug 24th 7:25pm AEST (Gabba)

[Torz]

Haha Dorko. Blatant free kick.

 

[MisterMarcus]

No....

Surely not.....

 

[div12ressie]

is Zorko that slow in the head? you clearly blocked him from jumping for the mark

 

[YeoShuey]

How does a team kick 11 goals 20 points? Embarrassing

 

[raffrox]

Zorko is such an easy player to dislike.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

He clearly blocked Zorko from jumping for the mark!

Bad kicking has given Essendon an in, just like it screwed Collingwood's finals chances last night.

Well Brisbane did win a game this year kicking that exact scoreline

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

The Bombers dont deserve Merrett

 

[Toffee Lion]

The officiating tonight towards both teams has been tragically amateur hour. Hope none of these umpries are employed for finals, they are awful.

 

[Shaq attack]

Enjoy a holiday Merrett you sniping ****.

 

[Toffee Lion]

We're very lucky the Bombers are just uniquely average, any other team would have buried us to finish this game.

 

[Pancakes]

Does McKay actually not know how to handball?
I've never seen a player so terrible at such a basic skill.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Any lions fans concerned about 11.17? Nonsense conversion yet again.

Aside from the fact my team can’t make it if we lose tomorrow and Carlton/Freo win, my nightmare is pounding a youthful hawks into the ground in a fortnight and still losing 8.23 to 13.5.

I'm more concerned about the last quarter fade out that's happened for three weeks in a row.

 

[Orange Agent]

McKay is just one of those players that would prefer the ball didn't come near him.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Might be the worst side of all time to win 10 of their last 12 heading into finals.

 

[Red Bull]

 

[hutchy31]

I'm more concerned about the last quarter fade out that's happened for three weeks in a row.

11.21 is ****ing terrible though. And although I don’t see kick maps or anything it doesn’t feel like those were bad or difficult shots.

Not that my team can talk. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a first quarter score of 1.9 dogs to 4.0 Giants tomorrow.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Brisbane pretenders. That should've been 100+ margin

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Haha Fagan legit telling heppell to come up for a season there.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

11.21 is ****ing terrible though. And although I don’t see kick maps or anything it doesn’t feel like those were bad or difficult shots.

This is true. Some of those were rushed behinds, but made up for by at least two OOF shots.

But I'd take the poor goalkicking if we just didn't fall apart mentally in fourth quarters. That's what makes the poor goalkicking costly.

 

[Elixuh]

Dw bombers fans I stayed to clap Dyson off after a great career. Shame the club wouldn’t give him a one in Melbourne.

 

[hutchy31]

This is true. Some of those were rushed behinds, but made up for by at least two OOF shots.

But I'd take the poor goalkicking if we just didn't fall apart mentally in fourth quarters. That's what makes the poor goalkicking costly.

Difficult to believe that either of our teams have the mental fortitude to win four games in a row against the better sides.

Frustrating in a season where every member of the top four are vulnerable.

but in reverse.

 

[hutchy31]

4.12 in the second half.

I’m going to bet fairly big on the lions to smash their week one opponent because they’re due a big win, but their conversion is amateurish.
