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

[Drexl 31]

I missed it, who won?

 

[trossa]

Melbourne genuinely robbed by the umps here, comfortably the better team after qtr time

They probably should have played the first quarter then.

 

[Tippett2Goal]

Looks the blues got the rub of the green but the umps didn't give them a 5 goal headstart, that blame lies with the Dees and thier horrible forward entry

 

[kreuze_missile]

While a 10 goal win would be fun.. i'd prefer to see us win by under a kick to keep the tradition going.

 

[Mr Meow]

Normally back the umpires more often than not, but that dangerous tackle call was all sorts of wrong. Carlton undeserved winners tonight.

It was a bad decision and worth a complaint (the previous 3.5 quarters of incessant moaning, not so much). But if they get that decision then every event after it changes. They maintained momentum anyway and kept scoring at will, it's not like it resulted in a Carlton goal that got them the momentum. So it's a silly theory to say that decided the match in any way whatsoever.

 

[FreoRicci]

These two are a class below the best this season, SF/PF I think is where they can get to.

Both teams only played a half really.

No real clear contender. Even Sydney drop game v Richmond.
Melbourne are still solid. 11.10 in three quarters normally win games. Shame one quarter was scoreless.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Not being out scored the rest of the game?

It was won in the 1st qtr

 

[danster168]

Good job dees. 5 mins of football without the umpires gifting Carlton and we finally get our game going. Not a coincidence.

 

[Bloody]

Its funny I said in the preview thread I hoped we'd win by 1 point. Lol

Yep certified hysterical stuff that

 

[Skull Face]

corrupt umps.

you won the count 12-0 after halftime to win the count overall fwiw

 

[Mr Meow]

I was one damn point off getting my tip right.

 

[Roobs321]

Those last five minutes were immense. Demons are always good value with their finals brand.

 

[russ]

Petty missing from 25m straight in front when Melbourne are on the march was massive. It’ll get lost amongst the last five mins but if KPPs can’t kick simple shots in low scoring games then they’ll lose.

biggest crab in the comp

 

[lizard man]

I missed it, who won?

Tassie

 

[danster168]

This is why main board match threads are s**t these days.

blame the umps. not me.

 

[melvilledocker]

Biggest pretenders in the comp the blues. Basically were gifted the game by the umps. Won’t do any damage this year.

 

[teknodeejay]

My god how bad are Carlton

Their structure completely collapsed and they can’t handle pressure

Still some way to go to be as bad as Brisbane.

 

[guruisatiger]

Poor ump who made the dangerous tackle mistake going to get hauled over the coals.

No umpires never make mistakes

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Petty missing from 25m straight in front when Melbourne are on the march was massive. It’ll get lost amongst the last five mins but if KPPs can’t kick simple shots in low scoring games then they’ll lose.

The dangerous tackle call against Melb was equally as massive.

That was a howler.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Blues had the rub in the first half. Dees had the rub in the second half.

Coincidentally the side that got more free kicks was the side playing better.

Great win but the close games are getting old.

 

[Oscarman]

Blues fans = w***ers

 

[Hookster]

I blame Laura Kane.

 

[ams4crows]

Not being able to score a single point in the first quarter is why Melbourne lost nothing to do with umpires

 

[Skull Face]

Good job dees. 5 mins of football without the umpires gifting Carlton and we finally get our game going. Not a coincidence.

Please we shut up shop and stopped playing the way that we were early on, made hard work of what should have been a 30-40 point win.

 

[Jibroni]

Oh I wish I could drink your tears infront of you right now

Dont worry, just watch us in the Prelim when your longer there.
