Autopsy Bombers v Swans - AFL Rd 23, 2024 - Fri August 16th 7:40pm - (Marvel)

[RUNVS]

The Swans will finish top of the table for the 4th time.

They are 0-3 in Grand Finals when finishing top. (1996, 2014, 2016)

I don't think we are winning the flag this year either.

Did Sportsbet run an over/under on how many Essendon scarves will be thrown onto the arena tonight?

Wow this is peak spineless

McKay & Gresham .... a lesson on how to blow your Salary Cap

 

[Mofra]

Is there a party on September 4 this year anywhere?

My place. It's a 20's themed event

He’d be the saints most promising youth

76 to 23 after half time

 

[Tas]

Eh, if I was an Essendon fan, I'd be walking out on this shit too....

I'd say something snarky but I dream about being in the mix for 9th spot. Following a bottom 4 side sucks arse.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

This is pretty special, to lose a game by 10 goals you should have won by 10 goals. Quite the achievement.

 

[VL3OJ]

How can a team that basically dominated the first and parts of the second quarter have their score almost doubled? Was it smoko time? They don't get OT? Happy hour at the pub?

At least they have pulled the pin on Dodoro
Been a disaster for the club

 

[fnerd]

Essendon supporters in the crowd have a look like they are seeing the jury come in and that their rebuild has failed again. A heap of first rounders are just not up to it. Won't win that elusive final in the foreseeable future.

How’s getting out virtually under the cover of darkness .
They’re recruiting deadset deplorable, with most of their first rounders the worst of the lot

Wait 12 months. You're every chance to overtake them next year

 

[SSwans2011]

Melican is one of our most important players IMO. Flies under the radar because he just does his job every week. So reliable. At the very least he's our most important defender.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

How was that not a deliberate rushed behind?

Dude, there's no umpire bashing tonight. It's all about Essendon bashing.

Read the room.

4D chess by the Bombers really, you can't lose a final if you don't make it there in the first place.

Yeah it does, but even bottom 4 teams like us have won finals and beat Essendon

Yep. Without him it forces Blakey to play tall, and he isn't great at playing tall.

 

[Elixuh]

When Merrett is held the Bombers are stuffed. No skill or breakaway movement in that small person midfield

 

[Syd]

More movement from the Essendon supporters than the players…

Well ANZAC includes getting destroyed in Singapore despite having much better numbers and equipment.

[The King!]

Our defence had to carry the can the first half
