Autopsy 2023 Elimination Final Blues hold on in a thriller

[ParapMarkets]

Teehee

Hahaha, Saad was brilliant!

 

[ferrisb]

Loves playing against swans!

 

[Sinjin Smith]

****ing massive!!! Atmosphere was electric. To do that against a finals hardened team will do wonders for them. Had the best time with Sinjin Snr. Honestly we were all over them for three qtrs. The intensity has returned just some sloppy mistakes. We gifted Sydney 4 goals from brain fades.

My votes

Saad 3
Weitering 2
Martin 1

Saad just was in the right place at the right time all of the time. Weitering was a brick wall and marshalled the defence. Martin is just so strong for his size, saved the game going down back in the last 10 min. Master-stroke from Vossy.

My twelve year old grandaughter said to me when Harry missed that sitter, Poppa I could've got that, I know sweetie was my anguished reply.

 

[ESKIE]

The thing with Cotts … do the opposition show him respect
he bobs up in the right spots

Acres fingernails

Great name for a racehorse.

Just got home - still trying to work out how we held on - we kept dumping kicks out of the backline / and they kept getting it back in.

Our turnovers kept them in it - must of kicked 4 goals from our mistakes.

Still we found a way.

Ill watch the replay now

 

[thylacine60]

Love you all, very much. That is all. Including thylacine60

Take that back!!

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Wouldn't have thought Harry would be singing the song if it was concussion. Reckon he was pretty happy to get subbed off...

If he misses next week, JSOS gets his deserved chance. If Martin gets rubbed out I suspect Motlop will get promoted to the starting 22 and we'll bring in another sub. Dow makes the most sense - another game like that, you'd love to be able to bring in a bloke who will hunt, win and drive the ball forward in those important stoppages.

If you look closely he actually didn't sing one word of the song in the circle. Quite concerning tbh. He as Voss later confirmed concussed and not in a good way.

 

[thylacine60]

Tells a story

about a lovely lady.....

 

[Sinjin Smith]

The umpires did everything in their power to gift it to the Swans but couldn't put the ball through the sticks for them.

Gifted a finals spot undeservedly and an armchair ride tonight.


So proud we beat Shitney and the AFL tonight.

Some of their frees were baffling.

 

[ESKIE]

Gimme a woo vossy

Blacres stiff.

 

[stuballs]

Take that back!!

You will acknowledge it and accept it!

 

[Bobmonkey]

I’m not sure I’d agree completely. But yes that miss was extremely deflating. The poster from 2m wasn’t any more positive either.
He’s still very important though, I think he is a big loss.

Agreed, the game actually turned when he left the field.

Curnow had to play further up the field and it became easy for Sydney to intercept mark our forward 50 entries.

It’s not all about kicking goals, he’s structurally important.

Also, people act like he’s a liability in the team… ffs before his injury he was putting in back to back BOG games, people just like to parrot bullshit.

 

[keldam22]

This was my best mate Serge - he was 12 and died from a massive brain tumour in April.
This win was for you old mate

My cat of 12 years passed away 2 days before the Collingwood win this year.. I feel the same way.. Up the Blues

 

[Blue By Blood]

Really happy that Marchbank more than held up well tonight. He’s an important cog in this team. You hear Weiters talk about him and you realise how highly he’s rated. He’s best 22.

Stoked at the overall grit we showed tonight. Had a few moments where if we nailed goals it probably would have ballooned out to a 10 goal win but to win the way we did was character building again for this group. Love this team.

 

[52Goals4inGranny]

Thank ****! We got the absolute worst team to play. They never give up and tackle like animals.
What the hell was going through Harry's mind?

I can't see where he hit his head to be honest

 

[Wickzki]

Some of their frees were baffling.

Some of the ones that weren't paid were as bad

 

[Faz 2000]

Great great result. We were all over them like a cheap suit, but almost butchered it all.

Cottrell was great and Acres tremendous and Weitering impassable.

 

[Blueballs38]

Very disappointed with the umpiring tonight. Sydney definitely kissed the umpire’s dick. Zero consistency with decisions and those decisions constantly favoured the Swans.

Martin was huge tonight.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Just a few random thoughts.

Not enough love for big Pitto on here. Thought that we were better when he was in the ruck with his strength.

Cotters was amazing. So many wanted him chopped a few years back. I'm not sure that Cotts, Fog and Cuners will ever get their due credit but those that know know.

Blacres came up with the full house. 2 huge touches, a winning goal and a late OOF. That future 3rd is as good an investment as the future 4th we paid for Newman.

Weiters great, Kemp very good (apart from that moment) and Marchy's best game for the club.

Cerra and Walsh were very good and will be better for the run. Clubs will learn that it is a bit of a waste to waste a player of the calibre of Mills to keep Cripps quiet because we will find another way to hurt them.

Any finals win is huge. Before tonight Parker had played more finals than our entire team. Well be better for the win. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Blacres stiff.

I actually thought towards the end of the game, this could be the first game he doesn’t kick one on the full. NOPE

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Blacres stiff.

True, so hard to fit them all in. Walsh and Cerra massive too.

McKay a big loss when added to Martin...Curnow will get double teamed all night vs Melbourne.

While the 2 missed goals were shocking, McKay was really good outside of those...directly set up our first 2 goals and took some useful relieving marks to help us move the ball up the field.
