Autopsy AFL 2023 Grand Final - Pies vs Lions Sat Sept 30th 2:30pm EST (MCG)

[Algorithmic Hot Takes]

Biggest ever comeback in a grand final at 3/4 is 24 points in 1984. They’d want to be a bit closer I’d reckon.

Maybe, but it's all mental. They'll both be knackered at that stage with the heat, in this scenario.
The crowd starts "Coooollingwoood, Coooollingwoood", get a quick goal or two, and tired Lions could try and save it, which won't end well if 20 points up with 15 minutes to go...

 

[Rod Stroker]

I reckon this will be closer than most think. Lions have the team to at least challenge the Pies if not surpass them. I suspect the Pies get it done though.

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

From the last meeting at Marvel in round 23, where Brisbane won by 24pts (with Collingwood still kicking 100pts) -missing for Collingwood were Moore, De Goey, Nick Daicos and Hill. Cox was sub.
Brisbane's side was the same as tonight's, except they had Payne for Gardiner.

What about Easter Thursday ?

 

[Cmarsh]

Pretty big week in Brisbane with both their teams from each code in their respective big dances.

What about it?

Pretty big week in Brisbane with both their teams from each code in their respective big dances.

Surely it's fate that both win. Year of the maroons.

No-one's beating Penrith.

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

What about it?

Did Pies win ?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Pies haven't been in the best form since the mid season break, think Brisbane by 3 goals

 

[RUNVS]

Brisbane have always been my second team. I hope they win comfortably

 

[Corkintheocean]

Good matchup. Both teams can be considered worthy winners as they've both been there or thereabouts in recent years.

I'll go Brissy by 23 points and Zac Bailey

for Norm Smith. Think he can have 22 possies and 4 goals.

 

[Marmozet]

This will go one of two ways:

1) Victorian team blows non-Victorian team out the water ala 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022.

2) It’s a 2012/2018 type miracle.

 

[TigerTrain23]

Will the AFL let the Lions play their songs after goals like at the Gabba?

 

[Vindicater]

How many Lions will Christianson rub out tomorrow?

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

Lions by 7 points.

Ummm ...no.

 

[Elixuh]

Oh man, I've been waiting 20 years to update this meme, what a time to be alive!



I think the gold standard would be a Daicos father and son special. Something like this:

 

[South of the Yarra]

How many Lions will Christianson rub out tomorrow?

Who is Chritianson? Is he new in the role?

 

[Wojcinski]

A bird team hasn't beaten a cat teams since 2008. Lions to keep the 15 year streak alive

 

[Bill Crouse]

Brisbane by 117

 

[Harry_O]

Not that likely to beat another contender 3x in a single season

Collingwood do better against oppo after each loss with a class coach

Collingwood wins this

Geelong did it in 2011.

 

[MadMundy]

Brisbane deserve this, but also **** Victoria is the main reason, Collingwood don't deserve shit.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lets just be thankful it's not Carlton-Collingwood

 

[Angus Young]

Will the AFL let the Lions play their songs after goals like at the Gabba?

Hope not. They are all shit, Especially Joe Danihers.

 

[Angus Young]

Collingwood. They will sustain the pressure on Brisbane unlike other teams have managed to do.
