Autopsy AFL 2023 First Semi Final (Week 2) - Demons v Blues Fri Sept 15th 7:50pm EST (MCG)

[YeoShuey]

You may be playing Brisbane next week,looking forward to that?

Don’t expect to win that and I don’t think we will win tonight either.

Predicting Melbourne to go all the way from here.

Funny that. Channel 7 were reporting the Melbourne banner making process yesterday and the reporter said that some Melbourne supporters told him that they already booked their flights to Brisbane next week for the prelim final.

This winter has been rubbish at Buller/Hotham so they had flight vouchers to use anyway. 'Twas great timing as well with Qantas actually telling customers how to access such credits.

You’re assuming things follow a linear pattern. They don’t. Often teams get over the line in finals very narrowly before blowing away their opponent in a GF. It’s happened many times. It’s why I am not buying into this Melbourne not having a chance rubbish that you’re all pedalling. We lost by 7 points courtesy of not kicking straight.

There’s going to be a lot of disappointed people going for Carlton if they just assume this is over already.

You missed the point of my post.

To reiterate, Melbourne nearly beat them even though depleted and having a lower goal to point ratio. It says more about Collingwood winning minimally than it does by Melbourne.

More chance of Albo winning back to back prime ministerships than there is of Melbourne winning the 2023 premiership!

Maybe. But that might the hardest game Collingwood play. Unfortunately the likelihood is that Brisbane win the PF yet get stagefright on GF day and choke up to an MCG tenant team.

Collingwood winning by about 40 points is unfortunately very likely. Don’t you worry, the AFL wants 100,000 members signed back up next year and spending big on all things Collingwood.

Better tell that to Sportsbet who have him clear favourite at the moment.

Not sure why you’re so anti Melbourne. It’s not like they’ve ever bothered hawthorn in any way.

Just as many hawthorn fans at the snow

I’d have Brisbane as favourites if that were the match up as they have won the last 6 against Collingwood. Sure the streak will need to end soon and none of those matches were at the MCG. Idk though.

They haven't convinced me that they are capable of winning the premiership this year. Granted yes other teams have also had their patchy form losses.

It's a sign!

Carlton only makes finals once in a blue moon!

They’ve never convinced you the last 3 years

No way they’re winning at the G

If you wanna take the piss out of another club it's helpful to at least be original.

Collingwood haven’t been so convincing this part of the season and we all know what their GF record is like. I would still have Brisbane as favourites but I am using my baseline as the Melbourne vs Brisbane match at the MCG this season.

Hey now I was on the bandwagon when they thumped the Bulldogs
But even Forest Gump could see that they were a shell of their former selves last year. And they still haven't regained their mojo this season either.

It's likely this question has been asked, bit has any team gone straight sets back to back?

I actually snowboarded in my Hawthorn jumper at Niseko earlier this year.

I hate to beat a dead horse 9/10, but reactions like yours err the pisstake on the side of timeless.

Nope

No.

Hawthorn went out in 16 & 18, Brisbane 19 & 21.

Obviously been others since the current finals system.

Port - 01
WC - 07
Geelong - 14
Fremantle - 14
Sydney - 15
Hawks - 16
Hawks - 18
Brisbane - 19
Brisbane - 21
Melbourne - 22

Also, 2020 was the only year two teams won the QF but both lost the PF.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Be over the moon if we win but have a feeling Demons by about a comfortable 3 goal margin with us never really threatening.

Gawn BOG and Kosi and Fritsch combine for 6+ goals.

So hope i am wrong though!

Good news - you are.

 

[YeoShuey]

Tom Browne saying that the Demons are still seething about the Brayshaw/Maynard incident. Should not be thinking about that going into a big match.

Melbourne gets this toffee snow going tag but in my opinion of living in in inner east, Hawthorn fans patronise the slopes en masse!
