Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 6 - Crows v Bombers Fri April 19th 7:40pm AEST (AO)

[Maddo11]

I hope that ump who couldn't make the call is friends with the ump that paid the touched mark in the freo v carlton game, because they're going to be spending a lot of time together in the gulag on Sunday twilight games

 

[Mootsy]

Im happy to lose

well..what if I wanted to lose too.

 

[danster168]

anyway back on the game. How good was Caldwell. Gun

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Umpires are not objective

Mcginnivan is a completely obvious example, how many other instructions are applied?

It's a narrative, not competition

 

[CrowToon]

Known joker takes the piss while known s**t bloke Tex was mouthing off to the umpire. Good times.

There is one true timeline here, the one where Essendon has the 4 points.

Yes but again, if that's all you have that's fine but don't bother with the discussion

 

[HirdsTheWord]

But they clearly played well enough to keep it within a kick and were all over you blokes for the last 3 minutes. Should have been rewarded for their pressure but it was taken from them

they didn't play well

essendon just played shit to even let them in it. Thats what the stats say.

You win some you lose some.

We had a guy climb a ****ing goal post during a set shot and lost the game because of it. Adelaide aren't going to get any sympathy from us for a shit umpire call sorry pal.

They should focus on why they were -20 inside 50's and -8 scoring shots b4 they piss and moan about umpires.

 

[BomberBoy123]

We were outplayed, poor kicking kept us in it and of course you won't get the calls late in the game especially if you are the underdog non VIC side.

Josh Rachelle was dreadful. He made some very poor decisions then he tried to win it but missed a rushed attempt at goal.

Essendon = celebrating like you have won a premiership because of a missed call aint going to get you anywhere. Calm the heck down, there is still a long season ahead for you.

But remember what happened after beating Adelaide last year, your season fell apart very quickly. You haven't won a final since 2004, you have been through some tough times I know that.

Now prove yourselves wrong and start playing like this every week. Talent wise you are good enough. It showed tonight.

Even if Adelaide stole the game it still would have been difficult to make the finals, it is a long way back from 0-4 and home ground advantage means NOTHING. Teams are going to come over here and play inspired footy.

After North we play:
Port
Brisbane
Collingwood

It's almost impossible, even if we won tonight.

Nice melt bruh

 

[Coasters7]

huh? why should Adelaide have won? what about the bad calls that went against essendon throughout the night? You've just been sucked in by recency bias.

Because it’s an incorrect call that directly decided the outcome, regardless of everything that came before it.

 

[fishardansin]

Hodgey isn't holding back, he said that was holding the ball against Draper and the umpires got it wrong.

That could be the end of his Ch7 commentary career, Richo, Ling and Darcy have only survived at Ch7 because they sat on the fence.

A strong anti umpiring opinion doesn't go down well there or at AFL House.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

anyway back on the game. How good was Caldwell. Gun

He's blown me away this year he's bloody good

And Sam Durham is just getting better every week

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Riley O' Brien would've got the free. No chance he would've kicked it anyway. He probably would've kicked it into the man on the mark or something.

Have you watched the footage? Tex tackled him, O'Brien was no where close

 

[fishardansin]

Because it’s an incorrect call that directly decided the outcome, regardless of everything that came before it.

LOL .. there was still a kick to be taken.

 

[Coasters7]

they didn't play well

essendon just played s**t to even let them in it. Thats what the stats say.

You win some you lose some.

We had a guy climb a ******* goal post during a set shot and lost the game because of it. Adelaide aren't going to get any sympathy from us for a s**t umpire call sorry pal.

They should focus on why they were -20 inside 50's and -8 scoring shots b4 they piss and moan about umpires.

Scoreboard says they were within 4 so that’s all that matters. Means they should have won with correct application of the rules

 

[Westend]

So dissent for tex after abusing the umpire after the game??

like if we are going to be consistent .....like Clarke for the dockers

regardless if it was a free kick or not ...not a good look by tex

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

A game where neither team deserved to win.

Outside of a handful of 10 minute bursts, Adelaide had shit structure and poor skills.


Essendon equating so many opportunities, and had to be carried over the line by the umpires.

 

[fishardansin]

Why isn't anyone talking about Tex diving on his back and pushing the ball back under him?

 

[Coasters7]

LOL .. there was still a kick to be taken.

From 20 out directly in front to Tex Walker? I’d put my house on that going through

 

[BigLefty]

i don't think you can argue "should of's"

Crows "shouldn't of" even been within 40 points

we had +20 inside 50's and kicked 10:18 ffs.....

And if the Bombers were any good, they should have been in front by 40.

The crows "should have" been better, but you can throw any metric at it and come up with what "should have" happened.

The last call was gutless and cost the game.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Scoreboard says they were within 4 so that’s all that matters. Means they should have won with correct application of the rules

score board also says Essendon won.

So if that's all that matters stop whigning about umpires.

 

[Knighta21]

lol all you crows fans are a bunch of sooks! Suffer in your jocks

 

[mxett]

I mean we all know that isn’t how it’s adjudicated lol.

You can say Essendon were the better team tonight anyway, plus a whole lot of other things.

But that’s just the most ridiculous take. The rule is about diving on it, laying on it, dragging it in - essentially if you aim to stop play and cause a stoppage, it’s a free.

The rule is dragging it in, which draper didn't do. It was knocked under him

 

[BomberBoy123]

Because it’s an incorrect call that directly decided the outcome, regardless of everything that came before it.

How do we know he would have kicked a goal anyway? All Adelaide got robbed of was a chance to win a game to they had 120 mins to do before hand

 

[HirdsTheWord]

And if the Bombers were any good, they should have been in front by 40.

The crows "should have" been better, but you can throw any metric at it and come up with what "should have" happened.

The last call was gutless and cost the game.

the -20 inside 50's and -8 scoring shots is what cost you the game.

 

[tropicaltiger]

How many times do we have to tolerate this umpiring bullshit in the last 2 mins of a game before the AFL ******* does something. AFL corrupt as usual.

umps have been looking after their old boss, Bradley Scott all year and the last 5 minutes was just a cherry on top

 

[mxett]

I don’t get where the argument is?? Not once did he drag it in. He landed on his stomach next to the ball, had it knocked under him, and then got piled on wasn’t able to even touch the balls with his hands.

Bingo. We have a winner
