Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 9 - Blues v Demons Thurs May 9th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

[420]

Umpire appreciation round? I'd appreciate some addresses

 

[melvilledocker]

Two things;

One, the AFL have an agenda to help Carlton back to the top.

Two, Carlton easily the biggest pretenders this year. Such a bang average list overperforming. Voss deserves a medal for what he’s done with them.

 

[Plugger35]

The Dees comeback snuffed out with those 2 Carlton goals.

The Dees badly need the next goal before half time.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I do not look forward to a bigfooty where this Carlton exists

Relax, they haven't won anything yet

 

[Mr Meow]

pathetic umpiring. not a free to Petracca. pathetic umpiring. a bunch of inept clowns. cost us 3 goals in the wet.

Take it like a man, Danny. Sometimes your side just aren't at the races. Same as Geelong last week. There is still pride to play for. Big thrashings are ugly for team morale.

I think that's what Scott meant when he said he was glad Geelong played awful but still made a game of it.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Pickett, Petty and Fritsch have been eviscerated.

Not been good but the entries to them haven't been great either. They'd all benefit from a half decent big forward to play around.

 

[danster168]

'not 15' what horse ...these umps are worse than we are.

 

[WillHayward]

Game over.

I'm switching over to the Premier League Darts

 

[twiggy4PM]

Lever and May are getting thrashed. Being made to be accountable rather then floating in as the third man and both getting beaten.
Their whinging is still league leading.

 

[YeoShuey]

has he been playing? I haven't noticed him.

Only mentioned him at the time as he kicked a goal.

 

[beema limapep]

Free kicks

Carlton 12
Melbourne 3

How is that even possible?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Is this Melbourne? Or North Melbourne?

 

[Hawksboy72]

How do the dees still have such a trash forward line after all these years

Yep...I think Mitch Lewis for Petracca is a fair trade.

oh don't get me wrong. we're trash. But the umpires have been shite. We played awful last week too, don't forget that.

[Elixuh]

Never seen that Carlton fella in my life

 

[Spirit Level]

Fact: Blues have only lost one Free Kick count this year (interstate against an interstate side).

And even in that game they had to get the umpires to cheat for them to get them over the line

 

[Mr Meow]

Turner's a very nice kick of the football.

I wonder if their other forwards will show up now.

 

[Plugger35]

There is the goal the Dees badly needed.

The umpires finally doing them a favour.

 

[Chief]

pathetic umpiring. not a free to Petracca. pathetic umpiring. a bunch of inept clowns. cost us 3 goals in the wet.

It'll be really bad if the Mexican Wave starts up again.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

If that swinging arm made contact with his guts then he would be in a touch of bother. Very lucky he didn't.

 

[420]

Free kicks

Carlton 12
Melbourne 3

Where have you been all year?

 

[The Casey Cat]

Lever and May are getting thrashed. Being made to be accountable rather then floating in as the third man and both getting beaten.

Bad as it looks I feel like they have actually been ok. Melbourne have just been atrocious going the other way.

 

[danster168]

a soda from the goal square. I wasn't paying attention to whoever got the cheapie.

 

[Mr Meow]

oh don't get me wrong. we're trash. But the umpires have been shite. We played awful last week too, don't forget that.

In general play Melbourne are playing 10x as bad as last week. Their conversion from limited shots is actually good so far tonight.

But this game is showing their standard against a good side that turns up, I reckon.
