Autopsy Suns v Cats - AFL Rd 10, 2024 - Thursday May 16th 7:00pm - (TIO Stadium)

[Mr Meow]

Well that was boring as heck from Scott. Ross Lyon pressers are so much better

A whole lot of people stayed up for that, which was the real eyebrow raiser.

 

[FootyLad0]

nah just a plethora of f/s a true home ground and zero travel.

1. Name all of the father sons in this side?
2. A team plays Home Games at Home…what a concept
3. 1 of only 3 teams to play in every single state/territory this year. Don’t think “travel” can be labelled at the one VIC club actually travelling everywhere.

 

[Xtreme]

We’re seeing what the cats will look like with another 2 or so retirements

3 losses in a row, just a small blip on the radar!

 

[Shane Heard]

I’d say a lot of things won us flags. Jimmy Bartel, Paul Chapman, Steve Johnson, Tom Harley, Joel Selwood, Corey Enright, Joel Corey, Brad Ottens, Cameron Ling, James Kelly, Harry Taylor, Darren Milburn etc etc and the rest of our non-high drafted premiership players might have something to say about it but hey, maybe not. Who knows.

We have a home ground. Wow. Other teams don’t? That’s amazing. Next you’ll tell us they play fin-

Nevermind.

Bartel. The ultimate utility player.

Like a shorter Hird.

Enright and Scarlet were unbelievable reliable.

The memories of our glory days remain in our soul for all eternity

 

[Mr Meow]

Jesus … now that is a stat of monumental something something

Potentially the worst game of Stewart's career. And Zuthrie turned to 18 year old Zuthrie. Then Henry and Kolo turned to Dumb and Dumber.

Yes the midfield were spanked, but our defence hasn't been that calamitous since 1999. Curnow would've kicked 12.

 

[Bunnings]

1- So you are forgetting what won you those flags.
2- and? Doesn’t change anything I’ve said.
3- compare that to all clubs nationwide.

Let’s not pretend the Vic clubs, especially the cats, don’t have a natural advantage.

Makes your whinge about academies hilarious, pathetic and hypocritical all at once.

“Those flags” which one we have a few, 2022 only had one F/son

It was hardly a whinge, more lighthearted, sorry if I triggered you.

How can you argue academies are not an advantage?

Vic teams have advantages for sure I agree, but cats don’t even get 11 home games and they play away games at opposition home venues also, the fixture is nowhere near fair in so many ways, we all know that, I hardly think Geelong gets the best deal, we are slowly discovering with teams regularly beating Geelong at Geelong, that shock horror, Geelong were hard to beat anywhere including at Geelong.

 

[Mr Meow]

Plug tonight's version of Stewart into the Cats/Crows game and the Crows win by 7 goals.

 

[Bunnings]

Well that was boring as heck from Scott. Ross Lyon pressers are so much better

I guarantee he read this thread during the game and thought “I’m gonna stuff these guys right up”.

Not once have I said that academies aren’t an advantage.

But compared to advantages of a Vic club, especially the Cats? Please

Elixuh is sobbing right now.

Just rewatching the 4th quarter and discovered the key reason why the Cats lost. Gold Coast went for the Raspberry and Cola option in their slushy machine whilst the Cats went for Watermelon and Lemon Lime.

I’m glad Selwood is having to watch this live

I couldn’t ever imagine being soo desperate to see another club losing that you take enjoyment out of it.

Why would Joel care? Dude has won at life.

 

[Rotayjay]

Gee that's extremely rare in the modern game - a side scores 100 and loses by 64 points. When was the last game with a higher aggregate score than that?

 

[Elixuh]

Elixuh is sobbing right now.

What did Christopher say???

 

[PhatBoy]

You get a squadzillon games at Kardinia that have have propelled your success for over 30 years.

Don’t start complaining now ffs.

We also have a record AWAY from there that between 2007-2022 gives us a winning percentage good enough to qualify for the finals each year so yeah, good one, it’s, ah, all down to the far wing at Kardinia Park.

What if GWS knock cats off next week, pretty likely at this stage, then swans might later in the year, cats might have 4wins and 5 losses at home or something, and that’s where they will be at as a side.
In the past they might have won 85-90% of games at KP, but we’re winning 75% of games anyway…..
Look I don’t think I’m getting through so it’s all just hot air at this point …

Exactly what I wanted to say but couldn't find the words to say it.

 

[Mr Meow]

What did Christopher say???

I haven't watched a presser in about 5 years (Scott talking about dropping Stanley for the 2019 QF cause it "was meant to be wet"). All I know is 5 people have said it was boring. Not one for the highlights reel.

 

[FootyLad0]

Oh no, are the poor dears suffering because they had to travel for once?

We are travelling to every state and territory this year. So you’re literally incorrect.

And of course we aren’t travelling more than you…we didn’t book an offseason US trip. Boy imagine becoming cooked after LOSING a Grand Final.

You’re supposed to be hungover after a win not a loss lol

Used up all his enthusiasm last week

 

[Freomaniac]

600k extra player payments per annum in the early 2000s anyone?

I dont think it matters now days. players Salary cap is like 15.7 million in 2024 and 17.7 million in 2025.

Old mate was spewing lies about Geelong gifting houses or some rubbish

People for some reason can’t grasp the concept.

When a team is winning at one stage 52 out of 55 games, they are winning literally everywhere they play.

All teams have home grounds, all teams play better at them. So if a team is winning the majority of their games wherever they go, that figure will rise further when they are at home. It will rise further still when often the genuinely gun sides don’t even get forced to go there. So it’s not like our record was inflated or something. The fact was, we won a hell of a lot of games everywhere and simply beat who we should have beaten there anyway: interstate sides that we probably would have beaten in Melbourne 9 times out of 10 if for whatever reason we had to play there, and the lesser Melbourne teams themselves.

 

[Lingsface]

We got massively outplayed today they were so clean in the conditions and had speed to go with it, If Gold Coast qualify for finals I would be scared to play them, when they are on they are very good. Rowell or touk gets it Humphrey and anderson get it off them and kick it to an in form lukosis and king its hard to handle.

 

[JustaBattler]

Weird game.
