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

[Joffaboy]

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.

Funny that. You put more pressure on, get to the ball quicker, defend harder, you usually get the frees....unless you are Richmond

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

Umm you’re the straight sets specialists.

Not sure how that works when you won’t finish top4.

 

[gungho]

Well done to Carlton for winning, but how many times can they win a game with dodgy decisions? The dangerous tackle being one of the worst.

 

[Foucault1989]

He's not a forward's a-hole.

He's "All Australian calibre"

 

[Randomizor]

lol- Codswallop.

Where are they going to go? They are already in Melbourne

 

[Skull Face]

what's the free kick count got to do with anything. How about the 10 htb's not paid. And the Van Rooyen dangerous tackle bs.

cry me a river what about petrecca dumping his opponent before the ball up inside your f50, sore loser nothing more

 

[danster168]

Bro he is lucky it wasn’t 50, he called the umpire a “dumb green skinny midget” and said he hoped that he got into an accident on the way home or something to that effect. Heard it on the broadcast and had to turn it up to hear it.

Probably get a good holiday too for that

you mean 50, like when Hollands should've thrown the ball back to us but just dropped the ball and the ump did nothing.

How’s that AA calibre Petty going for you Dan?

 

[Romeoh1]

Good game of footy.

 

[Randomizor]

Carlton win. Freo fans on suicide watch.

This result is better for Freo actually…

 

[kickballfoot]

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

Yes but they didn’t score before quarter time.
Football is a 4 quarter game.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

If Carlton lost there would be 0 talk of the umpiring in the second half. It swung in Melbourne’s favour as they got on top.

We dominated them for two quarters. They dominated us for two quarters. Unfortunately only one side can be a winner.

 

[Mr Meow]

Unless you're going to show me the 4 Walsh holding the balls not paid and try to tell me that the Van Rooyen was a dangerous tackle then we'll never agree.

HTB is adjudicated like this every single game. I don't agree with it, but you cannot rely on being second to the ball and relying on HTB decisions that are so rarely paid in the modern game. You need your second and third players to strip the ball off the person being tackled.

 

[Elixuh]

Would have been an impressive loss.

Letting a team with no forward line kick that many goals on you in wet weather conditions.

Umps the difference in this one. danster168 was right.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

you mean 50, like when Hollands should've thrown the ball back to us but just dropped the ball and the ump did nothing.

Dude Hollands didn’t call the umpire a midget and hope he gets into an accident like JVR did.. very different circumstances :/

Dangerous tack-post.

Classic.

McGovern arm chop no call, Melbourne goal.

Newman sling, no call.

You had the umpires all game except for one dodgy call.

Nowhere near it without them sore loser

 

[Foucault1989]

I saw Rivers do the same thing. Ball was in his hand and he put it on the ground.

 

[Mr Cheese]

I figured it would probably give Dees fans as much of a complex as Freo fans, so yes pretty funny.

Je suis Melbourne...

 

[hutchy31]

The dangerous tackle call against Melb was equally as massive.

That was a howler.

It was. But the difference there is a stoppage vs a Melbourne kick out of defense.

The Petty missed shot was 5 points plus potentially a significant momentum shift.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Jeez that dodgy dangerous tackle for Kemp flopping his head is going to be telling.

Yeah, that's THE single decision that decided the game. Not ANY of the other wrong or missed calls.
The Cripps HTB with no prior was pretty ordinary too. Just to name one. There were missed/wrong calls both ways all night. You can't boil a 4 quarter, 120min game down to one call.

 

[RandB]

Disagree. Not much between Blues, Dees, Pies and Cats. All have strengths but also weaknesses that can make them look ordinary at times.

Geelong and Collingwood at their best have the rest covered. Sydney are very close this year though.

 

[Skull Face]

you mean the umps shut up shop.With neutral umps we win that by 4 goals. that's clear after tonight. The Van Rooyen dangerous tackle that disallowed our goal...yeah ok umpire. or the 5 holding the balls against Walsh not paid. pathetic

The umps blew free kick melbourne 6-0 in the 3rd term and you made no ground on the scoreboard champ quit crying you were flogged and almost lucky enough to get a choke win

 

[WillHayward]

Are Carlton unfit or just lack runners?

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Funny that. You put more pressure on, get to the ball quicker, defend harder, you usually get the frees....unless you are Richmond

Yep. Generally how it works despite all the calls of conspiracy.
