Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 3 - Dogs v Eagles Sun March 31st 1pm AEDT (Marvel)

Shut up brereton.

 

[Mofra]

Marvel turf looks like it has three different mowing heights. Looks in great Nick

Upon reflection, getting the AFL rules committee to mow the grass this week was a mistake

 

[Sprout]

I love how Brereton goes on a bloated spiel about how Petruccelle needs to look for other options cause he won’t make the distance, who then proceeds to hit the post two thirds of the way up, and no one in the box says a thing.

 

[Elixuh]

Lol who is that high fiving all the players. Looks like Kmart gronk

 

[TW Sherrin]

Watching the Eagles live the lack of effort is alarming. How does Simpson keep his job?

Hats off the Eagles supporters for going to the games.

 

[_Mike_]

Eagles need a new coach & fresh start. Can’t continue the way they are

 

[TheKanga]

Marvel is usually one of our least scarring grounds, usually feel a chance there compared to some other fortresses where we can fall to pieces.

Commentators mentioned late that our previous lowest score there was 52. Not sure how true that is.

Yeah you did well against the dogs there last year, that was an upset for the ages.

I feel we could get you on the fast track there with our midfield/fwds that being said our defence is terrible so who knows lol

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I've come in here to get an idea of what is happening. I take it Brereton is B.O.G. because he's got more mentions than anyone else.

 

[Coolangatta]

We've got the money, infrastructure and support in WA to have a 3rd club in the AFL but gees we don't seem to have the talent based on the shit the Eagles have coughed up the last few years.

Recruitment is done through a national draft, having the local talent is not really that important. Yes, there is some "go home" factor but its not really that big a deal in terms over all player turnover.
In four years time WC and Freo could conceivably both be near the top of the table, with a similar amount of WA talent as they currently have.

That's probably true but I'd like to know how many of the Eagles and Dockers prem... I mean the Eagles premiership winning players were from WA (06 and 18, 90s was a different time).

Surely relying on Vic talent which most players are drafted from isn't the best long-term strategy.

At this stage Eagles members would be queuing up for a new side in Perth but like you said, in a few years time they could be back up there again.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Surely even North will belt the Eagles
They can't score

You mean the same side we 'should' have belted last year in Perth?

Love your confidence though..

 

[Lingsface]

Same old story
Hungry in the first then lack of talent sees them fall off a cliff tumbling down qtr by qtr.

They started better last year the mid season when they lose that hunger is going to get ugly very ugly.

 

[Doggy]

The mighty Eagles will get the job done against the underdone Bulldogs

You were only 77 points off

 

[Doggy]

Danger game for the dogs.

I think the Eagles get it done today.

Lol

 

[cactuscall]

Shout out to the teams playing WCE twice. We share a special bond.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Being Faux Tough is all the fight the Eagles have shown today

Only saw Treloar having a crack at a Kid (Ginbey). Wasn't much else going on.

 

[thistimeforsure]

Lucky their fans don’t accept mediocrity or they would really really suck

[Chamber JJJ]

Would have to be one of the worst commentated games ever.

******* woeful

Definitely and people pay good Money for the service.

Then stay down like a little bitch after a shove.

 

[Chamber JJJ]

Well done Fox Footy.

This is the perfect game to give Kelli Underwood.

Ha Ha bet most Eagles were horrified listening to that annoying bunch it hard to believe anyone give fox their money.

 

[Forward Press]

Surely things can't get worse for the Eagles this season...

looks up next opponent

Sydney.

Oh dear lawd.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel.





That light is an oncoming train.

I noticed we matched inside 50s and won the clearances - but you don't get premiership points by winning inside 50s and clearance numbers. Maybe it's something we can work with.

Maybe.

You have to wonder if this continues from the Eagles will the AFL just replace them with Tasmania in 2027.

They were as bad today as Footscray were in the early 1980s when they won 4 games in 3 years, or Fitzroy in 1996.

 

[Sentinel]

Bont's spread, once again pathetic. slow and lazy. 1 touch in the quarter, no 2nd efforts.

Hi, Danster, hope you're well. Last week you were critical of Bont primarily due to his tackles (to quote you "sick of bonts trash. doesn't tackle anymore."), also declaring him "cooked" in what turned out to be a best on ground performance as agreed by the coaches who gave him 10 votes.

I though his 9 tackles today was an interesting statistic. 50% more than any other player on the ground! Keep it up

Ironically, the early 80s Bulldogs improved on the back of some WA talent. Pursar, Beasley, Hardie, Rance etc
