Autopsy AFL 2023 First Preliminary Final - Pies v GWS Fri Sept 22nd 7:50pm EST (MCG)

[CCurnow3votes]

Both those players have only missed one game and he has been poor for 3 weeks

Yet here we are in a prelim.

Not sure what you’re trying to achieve?

What a belter of game both teams were brilliant

 

[flamethrower]

Brilliant game of finals football. The pressure and intensity in the last quarter was off the charts.

 

[My Tilly]

Bizarre how De Goey could not get back onto the field. Easily the best player on the ground and spent the final 8 minutes on the bench.

Almost decided the outcome of the game but Tom Mitchell was huge in those last few minutes.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

i shouldn't have but I'd almost forgotten how much a Pies win hurts the supporters of the crap teams. Its a beautiful thing There is the potential for us to inflict great harm next week

Don't worry you'll be crap again one day. It only takes one bad decision and that's it. Enjoy the good times while the last. They never last forever

Injured I’ve heard

The Typical myopic approach.

And I’m sure you’ll also keep accusing the Giants of being a supporter-less club in years to come. Not much is done to help them grow. Yet Collingwood get all the perks, helping them get bigger!

Rich coming from a Sydney supporter.

 

[My Tilly]

DeGoey with the most ineffectual ten touch possession quarter you will ever see

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

Play on!

 

[Ed_Gein]

Was kinda hoping Collingwood got through anyway, but geez, GWS were extremely hard done-by with the umpiring in the last qtr.

 

[Romeoh1]

The 2 obvious ones to the Giants were the Green and Idum highs. Greens one maybe as his knee was bent but I feel like he didn't duck should have been paid.

But it certainly went both ways.

Yep think greene contributed to it, but still should have been paid, as they regularly do in normal season. Thought Moore deserved a pretty obvious high free kick also. But don’t think the umps impacted on the result.

I don't think it was any sort of conspiracy, but the umpires 'put the whistle away' and we seemed to benefit more than GWS on the whole. Not all of these are clear-cut and there were a couple the other way, but in a one-point outcome, you'd have to say it had an impact.
This was one summary of some contentious ones for those wondering what some neutrals are pointing to, I didn't notice some of these in the moment.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Disgraceful how many players * up because they cant kick with their opposite foot.

Coaches should hang their heads in shame.

If they get onto an AFL list with no opposite foot, it's pretty much too late. They'd probably be able to develop it enough to get themselves out of trouble but not much else.

You need to start when you're 6-8 years old.

 

[gutsroy]

Injured I’ve heard

Sprinted around after the siren, looked fine.
Think the ball was just over the other side of the ground for most of that time, but might have missed something.

 

[raskolnikov]

Yet the "VFL" didn't want to ensure a Collingwood grand final in 2019 and 2022 when we lost by a point and 4 points to interstate teams? That's very puzzling. Just on a whim they felt they needed a Collingwood GF in 2023. Got it.

They wanted a Pies GF those years too. They just weren't up to the job.

Don't worry about De Goey, he is fine, it's just Carlton supporters doing the injury thing they love so much, it's either "look at all our injuries" or hoping for injuries to oppo players.

 

[PieLebo87]

Do we need to get the receipts and go back to last years finals threads?
Do you think Pies fans were chivalrous in defeat do you? LMFAO, spoiler alert, they &$)(ing weren’t!

Yeah, it was our own side that lost.

You lot aren’t even involved and acting like Collingwood and the AFL have some under the table agreement

If the umpiring was so bad, find me one Giants poster whinging about it post game like these so called ‘neutrals’.

I love the salt on BF, it’s beautiful.

 

[Some Idiot]

Play on!

Barrelling into players head first was ruled not a free kick years ago

 

[TheEscapeClub]

It would be HTB if this was legit

Like Rozee last week?

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Collingwood get GWS off 6 day break. Such fair and bias fixturing

Reward for finishing higher up the ladder.

What's the old saying - never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity - but I almost hope the umps were paid off or else they're the stupidest piss weak campaigners in the country.

So suplexing is cool?

Good name you've got.

What would the free kick be paid for?
