Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 8 - Demons v Cats Sat May 4th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

[CatToTheFuture]

I wonder what Cats fans will say about goal kicking accuracy this week?

That it was bad?

 

[Black Saab]

Great game by both teams.

That's one of the biggest wins Melbourne have had in a while. The Cats force teams to go to war for four quarters and it looked like the Dees were throwing it away with wasteful conversion. Huge win for them.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Petty and lever best on grounds

Lever and May are a brilliant duo
Repelled everything

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Didn't deserve to win.

Unlike you guys who whinge and bemoan everyone thinking you are a better team than what you are.

Didn't deserve to win last week either. Unfortunately we're just a bit too shit for our own good.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Credit to Goodwin and the dees, they knew how to take our game away and did it. I just feel sorry for the neutrals having to watch that on free to air.

We will have to go away and really analyse what they did from that.

Everything went melbournes way and nothing went ours all night.

Incredibly poor performance from cameron cam guthrie hawkins jack henry. Easily the worst they have played all season in a rare one.

 

[slackboy72]

Simon Goodwin terrorism ball

 

[Walter H White]

Not the greatest game of all time but will take it. Cats and Giants still the teams to beat for mine.

What about Swans?

 

[Mootsy]

Tells you how good Geelong are when their two big forwards don’t score and they still barely lose. Well done dees.

 

[Dez!]

He was absolutely deplorable.

Taj Woewodin balanced that with money on the Cats, his second efforts are deplorable.

Absolutely ripping game to watch points be damned.

 

[Bunnings]

Not shocked at this result at all. At no point this season have Geelong looked like world-beaters.

They had to come up against good sides eventually.

Did you think that was Geelong on a good night? Haha wow

 

[YeoShuey]

Petty all high and mighty until they play Brisbane.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Didn't deserve to win last week either. Unfortunately we're just a bit too s**t for our own good.

Lol typical carlton fan.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I guess the upside is that we had awful games from some of our key players and didn't lose by much. But Melbourne didn't allow us to move the ball as easily as Carlton did.

I think the main takeaway for me is that we got very little if anything from our over 30s and still nearly won.

The rebuild is tracking ok but not perfect

 

[The 747]

Didn't deserve to win last week either. Unfortunately we're just a bit too s**t for our own good.

That didn't take long.

Goodwin coaching win there

 

[Mr Meow]

Stop trying to make everything about Carlton, and watch supporters be magnanimous in defeat. It really isn't that hard.

 

[MattyJayJ]

Well done Melbourne. Quality team that have had my respect for quite some time. Hopefully see you in the finals!

 

[RUNVS]

Tells you how good Geelong are when their two big forwards don’t score and they still barely lose. Well done dees.

True, but it was 24 scoring shots to 19.

Cameron was noticeably uncharacteristic in front of goal and it really hurt in a close game.

Nevertheless Geelong are a force and even when fighting from behind all night they are never out of it and will roll over teams that don't get the job done.

 

[YeoShuey]

Did you think that was Geelong on a good night? Haha wow

I’d say it was. Problem is that you were playing the all round best team in the league

 

[Gavin Excell]

Carlton are irrelevant

 

[Osho]

First half was dogshit but the second half more than lived up to expectation. Brilliant game, both teams are going to be around the mark you'd think. If Cameron hadn't forgotten how to quick, it was set up for a hell of a finish

The whole game was cracking.
The trench warfare periods can be great to watch.

 

[Jibroni]

What about Swans?

Dunno why but I have my doubts about them.

 

[RUNVS]

What about Swans?

Go to a wetlands, you will see some. Just don't get too close as they might chase you.

 

[Arr0w]

Didn't deserve to win.

Unlike you guys who whinge and bemoan everyone thinking you are a better team than what you are.

Focus on this game

It was a cracking contest, you just fell short
