Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 4 - Eagles v Swans Sat April 6th 1:30pm AEDT (Adelaide Hills)

[SuperMal]

His rent just went up

His party tonight should be a ripper!

His party tonight should be a ripper!

Hopefully he lasts the entire party and not disappear

Will they review Reid being allowed to pirouette twice in a tackle before finding a handball?

If you can break/get out of a tackle why not?

 

[.Shotties.]

I do appreciate the lengths Essendon fans are going to with this "Four quarters" thing. Did anyone see Papley trying to be tough and cheap shotting for the game like Essendon?

 

[Swanssince91]

West Coast are the new Carlton, the only thing they can celebrate is the number 1 draft pick

 

[Coasters7]

My friend, you're losing every single stat but tying for frees. You're not having calls ignored.

Never the number mate. Plenty of free kicks that stunted our momentum and let the Swans get off lightly.

That 50 at the end of the third pretty much wrapped the game up. 9 point deficit heading into the last with the breeze is definitely winnable.

Dodgy free kicks all day that stemmed the flow when it looked like we might get a run on

I must’ve been watching a different game

What are you on?
We won the following stats:

• handballs (135 v 133)
• disposal efficiency (74.7% v 70.8%)
• centre clearances (16 v 12)
• contested possessions (134 v 126)
• tackles (63 v 62)
• turnovers (57 v 64)
• marks (99 v 87)
• contested marking (15 v 4)

Also i50s were even.
So we did not lose every single stat like you are suggesting.

That was made around the start of the fourth, though I accept your correction: losing the majority of stats.

Lol, no they ****ing didn't.

There was six minutes left on the clock.

Attaboy. You were down the majority of stats with six minutes to go in the last. Per the AFL site I gave the once-over, you were losing:

1. Tackles
2. Disposals, both kicks and handpasses
3. Clearances
4. Inside 50s
5. Hit outs
6. Marks inside 50
7. Tackles inside 50
8. One Percenters
9. Efficiency across the board.

So yeah, being beaten in the majority of stats but equal in frees.

That's a far cry from "every single stat" as you originally alleged.

Not really, especially when you needed to double-count stats to make up your list, but I still graciously admitted my error and changed to 'Majority'.

 

[Big_Birdy]

Swans bubble burst a bit hasn’t it.

I honestly think they are good enough to make GF.

But then again, after todays perhaps we will get a competitive GF after all.

Couple of soft kills early…a good pint of bathwater, a bitch fight at the club, and playing at Mount Barker in a strong wind - they’re coping…nothing more.

I think it’s like when you have a complete novice at poker at the table, and you have no idea what they have in their hand because they just do all the wrong things all the time.

Eagles, and to a lesser extent Tigers, are still playing the “bomb it long down the boundary” style of football, and the swans are set up to play against teams playing contemporary pressure/run.

Some good defence from eagles though today, and that’s a start.

And with only McCartin in the backs above 6’2 - it will bother them.

Great point.

Being humble in victory really isn't your strong suit is it. Against the worst side of the last two years too. Embarrassing.

It’s probably more embarrassing being the worst side of the last 2 years

 

[Alesana]

Perhaps, but averaging a Premiership every 7 years more than makes up for it

 

[SuperMal]

Being humble in victory doesn’t open the door for the Loser to pretend it was unfair or just luck.

Shouldn't a good team be able to adapt to the game unfolding in front of them?
