Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 8 - Eagles v Bombers Sat May 4th 8:10pm AEST/ 6:10pm WST (OS)

[Astro35]

Happy with the effort. A bit of luck, and less stupidity, we might have pinched a win. Not bad after the last 2 years. Might have some youth that can actually play.

Bunch of great talent. Reid and Ginny will be a powerful duo once they hit that 50 game mark. Going to bully alot of teams.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Decent game I thought. Eagles will trouble a few teams, hopefully Yeo injury not too bad

 

[Astro35]

Merritt the difference tonight. That goal was like a dagger in the heart.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Cripps decision cost them

Bombers won't stay in the 8 for long , getting lucky so far

We dominate play just can’t put it on scoreboard

This was mirror image of crows game.

 

[Jez1974]

The Eagles have won against who? A hopeless Richmond and a big game emotional win against Freo? So 2 wins this year and 3 last year, and they're going to beat a team that drew with the reigning Premiers last week?

One team coming off a 6 day break and the other a 9 day break. I think the Eagles are getting closer to the mark and Reid looks an amazing player already, but if this is under a 40 point Essendon win I'd be very surprised.

Bombers won't make finals

 

[PerthBoy86]

Bombers won't make finals

Comp is so even this year, think they still do. Been competitive except for the Port game. The test however is if they continue to be all season rather than dropping off.

lol.

It's luck to beat/draw with 4 sides who finished higher than us last season?

Went 4-1-2 with bookies only tipping us to win 1 game out of the first 7.

Have north, tigers and eagles again in our next 5 matches while giants, blues and suns @ gc are 50/50s

 

[mightymouse75]

How come Reid was rested for a second week?

Wasn't resting. Hard to see, he spent most of the night ducking

 

[JayJ20]

It really isn't, that will catch up with any team eventually. No team is making it with a percentage less than 100.

Essendon have a draw so Collingwood's percentage is all that matters for now. They also have a bad percentage.

Sicily.

I know reading and comprehension is tough for a bombers fan

But you obviously missed the part where i said “group”
So take your mic back and sell it for some reading lessons

 

[BIGHAWK23]

By your logic I only want to see Luke Breust or Jack Gunston enjoying themselves out there because the rest of your list has never won anything

Difference between enjoying

And jumping on blokes heads on the ground after a tackle
Guelfi and Hobbs

Comment has nothing to do with Langford shushing

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Hobbs has been playing for 20 years?

He acts like it

Geez you bombers fans are strange bunch

Will you buy it ?

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Unless you and the Pies are in the running for 8th spot...

I said almost nothing for that exact reason.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Yes, we enjoy seeing a confident young player. Instead of BigHawk who wants them all personality free.

How Draper going?
Your club even acknowledged the over confidence

Ginni loves this.

I think we just allow our players to have a personality mate. Sorry that it irks you so much.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Chad Wingard, unbridled arrogance for no reason. Ginnivan, well, probably the most unanimously disliked player in the league because of his personality.

 

[boncer34]

How do you act like you've played 20 years?

 

[Andronicus]

So I guess Eagles don't need a priority pick after all?
Seem pretty competitive lately.

They are also probably too proud to beg for handouts as well.

Clearly not

Brad Scott was pretty scathing

Draper is a loose unit that needs to be reigned it at times.

I wouldn't call it over confidence

 

[Wosh]

I’m ok with losing to the Bombers by 1 goal, considering where they are on the ladder and where we have been for 2 years, we fought it out till the last minute which was pleasing, tho some of the dumb stuff we did was very not pleasing. Kudos to Essendon, it’s never easy playing Optus.

But losing Yeo is far worse than a close loss. Just devastating for him and the club and here’s hoping it’s not a serious issue.
Thanks for 200 of the best Elliot
