Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 3 - Bombers v Saints Sat March 30th 4:20pm AEDT (Marvel)

[YeoShuey]

Bloody good win that couldn't be more proud of the boys they cracked in and never gave up in the second half

Nic with a huge 44 disposals and surely 3 Brownlow votes. Superstar

 

[Captivating]

We will be there when it matters and your side will not. Enjoy your granny.

Yeah, coz Saints have a history of being there when it matters. It's in the Saints DNA

 

[citizen-erased]

Just how we all want to see a close game finish.

Ticky tack free and 50 turned the game around 12pts.

Think you said something similar to me in 2020.

 

[Milanista28]

Geez we were good in that last quarter, completely took the Saints game off them

 

[Plugger35]

Just how we all want to see a close game finish.

Sums up the umpiring today, a lot of soft free kicks and 50/50s went Essendon's way.

The umpires must have got a dressing down after daring to favour us last week against Collingwood, normal service resumed today.

I can't blame the umpiring entirely though, good teams can overcome the umpiring going against them and we aren't good enough yet.

Bad kicking for goal hurt us again, we need to get Plugger down to our training to teach our key forwards how to kick straight for goal.

Dunstall wasn’t impressed.

It was an accumulators 44 not a dominators 44.

I would have McGrath, Heppell and Langford ahead of him in that game tbh.

Speaks volumes for how hard he’s working though that he can get it that many times. He’ll win a few games off his own boot in the next few years

Lol umps directly caused a 2 goal turnaround in your favour.

Very impressive performance from Nic Martin. But still not the best Nic in the AFL. That mantle rests with Naicos.

16-11

no exactly a one sided free kick affair.

both teams had shit calls against them. There were a couple of completely shit calls that led directly to St Kilda goals.

 

[Andronicus]

16-11

no exactly a one sided free kick affair.

both teams had s**t calls against them.

Yeah but the saints never get a good run from the umps.

 

[citizen-erased]

Yeah but the saints never get a good run from the umps.

Except when they do and it was an even way affair

 

[Bushdid911]

I can’t comment on that as I didn’t see any other circumstances of it occurring. If that’s the case, then yeah they should have been paid.

Freekick count so far this round in the AFL…

50 - Brisbane v Collingwood
55 - North Melbourne v Carlton
42 - Fremantle v Adelaide
27 - Essendon v St Kilda

Even less sense to start picking them out in the last 30 seconds

 

[Rubber Snake]

Set shots cost them the win,simple as that

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

that was a shitty standard, be surprised if either make the 8

That's ominous considering we were so close in the 4th on your home deck.

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

WHERE ARE ST KILDA AT?

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

Get edged brah

...(but you're probably right)

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Lol umps directly caused a 2 goal turnaround in your favour.

Stringer robbed even Dunstall and King agreed

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

2009 they should have been 6 goals up at half time and weren't, they blew it. Bad kicking is bad football.

Ditto Freo.

Common denominator...

 

[windyhill]

What is the point of the edge if you show no defensive ability as a team?

Martin has been racking up the turnovers this year with Scott moving him to the backline
