Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 5 - Demons v Lions Thurs April 11th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

Melbourne should have traded Petty while he had currency. So average

 

[Astro_]

Van Rooyen's marking ability is become a real concern. Can't mark anything these days.

Nothing went right that half. Ball not bouncing for Petty, ball bouncing at right angles for Tholstrup, Howes hitting the post. and a horrendous umpire gift goal to McLuggage.

Brisbane all over us though.

Only your last point is true

 

[p4p1]

Dees a bit more animated last 5 mins.
I'm hoping they smash it up after half time.

Oscar looks tired, Gawn may dominate the second half.

Petty was running down a dream there

He won’t back down.

 

[HTPunter]

It’s incredible to hit this low but Joel Selwood is the worst commentator I’ve ever heard. Says a lot to say nothing, all the while mumbling and stumbling. I’m sure he’s a great leader & he was a great player, but he is a new low for media. Slobbo Robbo makes more sense.

 

[HTPunter]

That’s 50% more goals than you have right now.

Plus we won. Like always.

“Always”

Wiew boy

so the ball bounced up perfectly for Petty? lol what are you talking about.

Melbourne should have traded Petty while he had currency. So average

Surprised he has any.

Plays like a 44 year old forward at your local club that went a season too long.

Looks like it too.

He's a gun. Just in a form slump.

 

[HTPunter]

Ben Brown still getting a game?
Surely Melbourne have somebody in the reserves,

Your forward line is what’s broken.

Brown, Van Whoever and Petty are VFL reserves standard.

Schache…so no they don’t.

Only way they are fixing the forward line is ball movement and structure, not personnel. I reckon they need to embrace the strengths and minimise their weakness - play a Richmond 2017 forward line with only 1 tall + Fritsch.

 

[SSSSSS]

Shocking crowd.

lol. he'd be top 5 in your Bnf.

He commentates like he is concussed.

The worst.

 

[spudmaster]

Fritsch can turn it on pretty quickly and cause a lot of scoreboard damage in a short space of time, but he's going to need some company too. Hopefully they can peg a couple back early in the third and turn it into decent Thursday night viewing.

 

[HTPunter]

He's a gun. Just in a form slump.

He’s got hype but apart from 1 game late last year he has no other form as a forward to be in a slump from. He’s still very much a wait & see.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Shocking crowd.

Level 1 MCC is packed.

The rest is empty.

Typical Melbourne home game.

Worst MCG tenants ever.

 

[Foucault1989]

He's a gun. Just in a form slump.

I think he is a flash in the pan defender thrown forward. Slow, low footy IQ and always second to the ball. Not a physical presence.

 

[Foucault1989]

Melbourne should be relocated to Marvel.

 

[SSSSSS]

Level 1 MCC is packed.

The rest is empty.

Typical Melbourne home game.

Worst MCG tenants ever.

I'd expect it for a Sunday twilight game or if the Dees are crap again but this is prime time against another top 4 hopeful and the Dees are flying.

Bizarre how the Dees don't turn up even when they're going well.

Couldn't be further wrong. He's AA calibre defender (better than Lever) thrown Forward due to our forward line woes. Has had some big games forward with not many games played there. His 6 against Richmond showcased his talents.

Slow, low footy IQ, no physical presence? You just described Joe Daniher, Harry McKay etc.

Dees fans probably work tomorrow, most Blues and Pies fans don’t have that issue Id guess.

Not even snow season yet.

This game would be sub 20k crowds in July.

A quick peg is what they need, agreed

Bunch of corporate button pushers all probably working from home anyway.

Toughen up princesses.

Lol Petty is not AA calibre.
