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

[Osho]

A good game of strategem.
Essendon fairly attacking with plenty of tall timber, and Saints waiting for the counter punch.

 

[McCluggages Luggage]

You can't have been watching much of us since Ross Lyon has returned to coach us, we usually try to play fast direct attacking footy now.

Ross can still slow the game down and go defensive when we need to but all good teams can play different styles to suit the game situation.

I try to watch as many games as possible, not just my own team. But I will admit I probably have a bit of Ross Lyon bias for ugly/lower scoring games.

I know the Saints have been a bit more direct recent seasons, but still hard to tip/bet on Saints by large margins or expect a high scoring game. As I said I think the bookies capped the total fairly accurately. I could be wrong, anyway I hope your lads get up mate.

 

[Chaisa]

TIL St Kilda and North Melbourne merged.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

The **** was Heppell doing?

 

[wills2g]

wheres the edge

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Brad Scott and the players spent all summer talking about how they would defend this year, yet every club has just walked through them this year to score.

 

[EagleMan87]

Comedy of errors.

 

[Foucault1989]

Need more edge baby bombers.

 

[Osho]

Butler scrambles a flukey goal in end but, the pressure from Saints is pretty good.

 

[hawkman]

St Kilda just walking through tackles

 

[Zevon]

Lol how tf did that get through?

 

[Chuckie357]

St Kilda could have had this game wrapped up by now but for some reason Ross Lyon doesn’t instruct the players to play their own game, instead it seems he insists to play on the oppositions level. Also gotta kick goals from set shots. Lot of blokes that spend more time looking in the mirror than practicing goal kicking

They're genuine witches hats.

 

[projectv]

The giraffe goes bang!

 

[schmuttt]

This could be 100+

 

[Osho]

Dons are on edge in the backline.

 

[aussierulesrules]

 

[Foucault1989]

Holy moly.

 

[The 747]

Caminiti's been very good. Bombers have been trash.

 

[Chuckie357]

Do the players hate Brad Scott or something? Maybe he told
Everyone Goldstein is his favourite player

 

[hawkman]

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

 

[Wilksyy]

Oof Nick Martin

 

[Chuckie357]

So where’s the umpire 60m away for in the back there?

This could be 100+

be lucky to be 10 points

 

[Wilksyy]

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

Agreed. Why not leave him on the wing? He was awesome last year.

Feels just like Easter Saturday 2021 but in reverse
