Autopsy Round 20, 2021 v Essendon - first win against Bombers at the MCG in 98 years

[The King!]

kennedy was good forgot about him take it for granted

 

[McRobie]

Dawson was the most influential player on the ground imo.

 

[swanssince2002]

Dawson OUR All Australian in the team. They way we have seen his development during this rebuild.. from a low pick to being our star.

 

[The King!]

i thought mills was awesome, dawson too all game

i thought parker got the run of attack going in the second half

 

[Wolfgang West]

Sign Dawson please

Some of his marking even outshone his kicking.

 

[Ticky009]

Clearances will be the death of us at some point , that particular stat

McCartin in form and has improved body work

Reid looks done

Off by disposal but jamc will be a grade

Cunningham just gets it done

Blakey is heart and mouth stuff but comes of and is game breaking

We get down on spread from centre clearances with hewett, Parker and Kennedy

I fear you may be right, Punts. The clearance issues are doing my head in, but we somehow keep winning.

Can only tick the box for the game in hand and wonder how we're going to fix it for the next - if we can.

 

[The King!]

papley took so many chances today, a lot from missed buddy frees

buddy had essendon spooked

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Can these flogs in the commentary booth stop it with the GOLDen or GULLden and settle on GOOLden?

It's not that hard

 

[lazy77]

Reid was very good in the last quarter. I can’t believe the negativity. So unfair.

 

[SwansProudly]

Wow still after the siren has gone that's all I could say.

Mills
Dawson
Parker
Kennedy
Lloyd

Astounding efforts today like above and beyond probably missed some as well.

Credit to essendon for bringing the pressure and essentially was goal to goal for 90% of the game.

Game of the season imo and we move from 6th finally

Apologies Heeney2Franklin I've mucked up having your post to be first in the autopsy thread

 

[Disco Brad]

Dawson was my clear best on ground today. Took a load of high marks from kick ins. Delivered some absolutely class kicks to team mates and was above solid in the half back line. Thought he was outstanding and allowed others to run free.

 

[kneecapper]

Sign Dawson please

His contested marking is incredible. 5 today, most of any player.

 

[tombomb]

Watching Merrett dominate today it really frustrates me that we haven't persisted more with Stephens.

 

[momentbymoment]

Missed the game but love the score line.
A two point loss hurts far more than a 20 point loss.

 

[Olian]

Great game to watch. We held sway when it counts.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Break even in the centre clearances & that was a 6 goal win.

[kneecapper]

AFL app showing the wrong final score on the "Matches" tab for anyone else?

 

[Kiama Chris]

Phew, that was stressful as.

Anyways if Port lose to both GWS and WB we will be 4th. Or if Port lose to one of WB then with 3 lowly teams we are a shot to overturn the 3% we are behind them in for and against.

Let's win the games. The rest is beyond our control. Not beyond hope of course.

If you looked purely at how they play, JPK does not look like our oldest mid

[Punts]

Cunningham amf fox have been good all year

 

[Membling]

Warner back will help alot. But needs to be nusred back in

 

[Bonz]

I can't pick a best on ground today.

Parker - Absolutely sensational, his third quarter was match winning.
Papley - Very quickly becoming my favourite player, mongrel, classy and gave off a few gimmes today (could have ended with 6).
Dawson - Best kick I have ever seen at the Swans, yes that includes Malceski.
Mills - Is everything I hoped he would be in the midfield and more. Classy, hard at it and bleeds red/ white for the team (Our own version of Simon Black).

That second half was sensational by us, honestly thought we were off and had written us out, but this team once again proved me wrong.
