Autopsy Round 1, 2024: Geelong v St.Kilda *COLLARD, WILSON DEBUT*

[StFly]

8-9 seems reasonable.

If you take out last year's start which was an anomaly, we are basically a 50/50 proposition each week.

A slow start could see us really capitulate. Soft AF mentally, won't take much for the year to go real pear shaped.

Disagree, we're there mentally, what let us down tonight was skills so we're there in those moments but then we burn everything we touch outside of you guessed it, rebounding from D50 as defense has always been our strength.

 

[Hubnester]

3 appalling umpiring decisions in the first half of the last quarter sucked the life out of us when we had a run-on. Like the rest I've learned to accept bad umpiring, but the number of times they decided the outcome of games if a disgrace on the competition.
The weight of evidence is too great. It's just what the AFL want.

The sooner they replace this shit show setup with AI, the better

Poor Collard didn’t get a touch. Got badly burned a couple of times too.

Very strange to play a forward pocket as a sub....would have thought Garcia a better option. Or start Garcia on.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Should have won that.
Random kicks don’t work.

Gold Coast Adelaide is a fun watch. Was pissing down with rain before, Adelaide need 4 goals in 4 minutes

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Do u ever watch a Saints games with neutrals?

Why would any sane person do that?

 

[Simon Templar]

Saints, touch Geelong. Free kick...

Geelong, hold Henry in the bounce, then get him high...play on...

Absolutely diabolical cheating, but that's okay you fluro cheating campaigner * wits...

That was so unbelievable & so very obvious... I'm glad I'm already an Alco or I would have taken up drinking after seeing that.

 

[Diehard Saint]

We started expecting him to beat defenders a foot taller in marking contests.

It’s his set shots I’m talking about.
When he first came to us he was a very reliable goal kicker.

 

[gringo2011]

2-2 before we get stomped by the giants in round 5 at Manuka.

Get to 4-4 and from round 9 to 13 we have a big chance to get to 8-5.

Richmond and Bombers looked okay this week. We'll want to start to put some form together.

 

[kernelT]

That stocker free though… priceless.

Have they changed the marking rule? Completely different interpretation to the last few years.

 

[CHBench]

Previously we probably lose by 40+ when the zing went out of the game and Hawkins put them 21 up, so that's a tick

King converting under pressure to bring it down to 1pt, tick

Liam Henry, tick

They both looked diabolical. Get off it dude.

 

[Banger9798]

God, I hate Geelong

 

[StPiper]

Very strange to play a forward pocket as a sub....would have thought Garcia a better option. Or start Garcia on.

I would assume it freed someone up to play more in the middle.

 

[Max the great]

The Stocker and Bonner calls were the cherry on top. I haven't seen a blatant cheat job like that in a long long time. That bald prick has to have a house in Geelong somewhere and a daughter who plays for Geelong. Unbelievable stuff.

We flipping love red time goals. 2021 vibes after that

Henry

 

[Max the great]

What about the Henry tunnel in the 2nd quarter? Took his legs from under him. Play on.. 2 kicks later a goal.

Jeremy Cameron also with 7 seconds left in the first qtr...

So did we.

 

[saintbill]

Yes mentally soft is what I learned from us coming from 24 points down late

So what. Pressure is off at that point. Classic Saints to lift when the game is done.

 

[saint66au]

We w ere good in patches, VERY poor in others

Anyway, apparently we lost cos the umpires are cheats and the ground is a weird shape. Whew.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

I didn’t mind the commentary, even Selwood was pumping up our kids most of the night.
