Autopsy AFL 2022 Second Elimination Final - Lions v Tigers Thurs Sept 1st 7:20pm EST (Gabba)

[JackFlash]

It was an amazing game and it looked like Richmond were a nose in front the whole time, but footy is a funny game. I can't see the Lions beating the Demons at the MCG, they might have a chance against the Swans in Sydney?

 

[Scotland]

Brisbane were poor in 2020, but their two Semi Finals have been a 3 point loss to GWS who made the GF and a 1 point loss to WB who made the GF. Their record is a bit overstated.

 

[keithrichards]

Front-on view showed it directly above the post; side-on view showed the same. Correct decision.

There is no side on angle?

 

[Altum Volantes]

He wasn't fully fit. But the timing of that strip club video leaking was a master-stroke to put him off his game.

I highly doubt Dusty gives two shits about that.

Maybe put the PR team at the Tigers on edge a bit but Dusty wouldn’t care.

 

[royboy2]

So now what happens with the Flag? Apparently Richmond have already won it, do they have to hand it back?

 

[Ricketz]

Geelong, Melbourne and Sydney will all crush Collingwood in these Finals beginning with this coming weekend.

They can only lose twice?

 

[Belnakor]

The greatest player ever ROFL
Martin cost the Tigers the game. Martin doesn’t play the Tigers win.

He looked about 20% fit. Was pure arrogance to put his hand up and play.

 

[Ginnieboy]

If you have two camera angles at 90 deg and the ball is over the post on both then it has to be over the post.

Was a big call, must say I would’ve gone with insufficient evidence, player mannerisms should count for zilch.

 

[JasRulz63]

Do Brisbane fans honestly think they're going to win the flag?

Meh. Gotta be in it to win it. Can't win a flag from 18th.

 

[Satan]

The tigers fans who flew up wont be happy

 

[FRUMPY]

Which jurno is he going to clip for asking a dumb question

To be fair, if any journo asks about dusty tit grab they deserve a clip

[Sentinel]

This is going to sound a bit ridiculous but to prevent any doubt in the future, why not have one of those heavy duty laser pointers sticking straight up into the sky off the top of each post?

 

[kickazz]

The umpires were clearly carrying Richmond during that last quarter. Brisbane still getting the win regardless was gold.

Tigers fans trying to make this a ‘controversial’ win are utter campaigners

Agree with the first paragraph but not the second.

Even though the right decision was likely made in the end re Lynch goal/point, given it was called a goal and overruled with pretty good but not totally conclusive evidence, I'd be pretty peeved at that.

Oh well stiff shit I suppose

 

[Daniel B]

There is no side on angle?

It might have been 45. In any case, it was a different angle and still showed it over the post. There were four views going on.

 

[Bedi]

First to 100 wins debunked

 

[Gak Attack]

I have been saying this for years, there will be a GF decided by the umpires in a big moment, and that’s what it’ll take for the AFL to address it.

AFL is the most unprofessional ‘professional’ sport going around.

Yep and a lot of the time neutrals will say 'it was shit both ways' and I agree a very high percentage of the time it will be but that just sums up the situation. I could sit down with a Lions fan and go back and forth with well you got this bad decision go your way and they could legitimately counter for 20 minutes.

...but we have drones!!!.

Surely a drone could follow the balls flight off the boot.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Richmond fans must be chuffed to have heard their song after the siren tonight.
Well played other sash.

 

[Sea fog]

Not unhappy with this result, much rather face the Lions in Melbourne than Richmond.

Pies are in the other half of the draw so can't see that happening.

 

[MickG88]

what about that bs push in the back against daniher...

What about Bolton being held before he got the ball with 20 seconds to go.

 

[FourthTimeAround]

dumb

Great response.
Unless Dumb is a foreign language translation for Fact in English.

What do you mean? Collingwood have lost three grand finals due to poor umpiring decisions. It's already happened.

 

[Whiskers]

Lol wouldn’t wanna face us, tiger fans all said.
Hahaha, lions were cooked. Useless tigers!

 

[Bird Man]

umpire is literally under the ball and called a goal. was not bang-on evidence and a farce

 

[keithrichards]

One at the top is behind the kicker
One at the bottom is 90 deg to the left.
Clear evidence its a point.

The one at the top isn’t behind the kicker at all…
