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...

Interesting stat.

Of the Prelim Finals over the last 8 years, the team who won the match that Stevic umpired went on to win the Premiership 2/8 times.

 

[PieLebo87]

This Magpies team fears absolutely nothing and never stops believing.

‘Unstoppable force against an immovable object’ type game.

Lions are their equal this year. It’ll be great viewing.

 

[Aussie in exile]

I've gone for a Lions win as they will benefit from some umpire calls
I say no more

 

[Piepiepie]

I’ve got $4.5k weighing down my wallet, and would like to swap it for three tickets to the grand final. Please let me know. Go pies!

 

[Pistol Night]

If you were to believe this then you would be rightfully justified in attempting to describe your team in other word than just expressed.
If Collingwood with one or two players out can scale a mountain the likes of which are yet to be achieved by an man in recent history than how much more so a team like the Lions whos very namesake indicates the large powerful beast that can consume a magpie whole.
Heres to that predator swallowing its prey come Saturday.

A magpie would just fly away from a lion ya dickhead

Hang in there, I got 4 this morning for the same per head. Almost paid more per head for some level 4 tickets but managed to get these with a luncheon before hand and level 1. Lucky, pies by 3 goals and De Goey for the norm.
Up the Mag’s

Such an interesting game - will be a ripper hopefully.

Lions should really have this game easily, given their talent in midfield & up forward particularly - their backline is underated.

H Andrew’s is a gun. Not having a direct report will be huge, wandering across HB intercepting at will.

The question is can The Brians handle a full game of sustained pressure?

Carlton did it for a qtr, before running out of legs. We all saw last week you can put a gap on them if your pressure rating is over 200 and you can win it out of the middle.

Pies will do that all day.

Collingwood pressure & counter attack vs Brians talent & structure…

Massive match upcoming.

Brians by 13.

Well done to the airlines, maybe they have learnt from the Brisbane-Carlton flight mess.

I was thinking of going to Melbourne to watch the game, so I just checked flight costs.
Return flights from Adelaide from $600.

Not bad.

 

[Billy ray]

the game talk is important
but food, its the food talk im really interested in

Toast - Grand Final food and drink preparations. What are you doing?

I normally eat a normal breakfast then eat some grilled salmon with a rocket lettuce salad for lunch. If the GF is on at 7pm , I'll crack my first pale ale beer or Guinness at about 3pm . Six beers is enough but keep 3 extra warm ones that can be cooled down I'm an emergency. I'm not an...

To me it is shaping up as a GF like last year, and unfortunately not in our direction.

There’s no way Brisbane are winning by 80 points.
It will be close.

 

[Elixuh]

In a way, aren’t we all winners?

When was the last time Collingwood beat the Lions?

Would have rather faced Carlton this week to be honest.

2019, are you telling me there is a hoodoo?

 

[YeoShuey]

I think based on teams, I think Brisbane will win.

However, based on previous years and PF final umpires, I am tipping Collingwood.

Could be a close one but I would not be surprised if it is a blowout either.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Right now? Yes!!

Unfortunately though, in 96 hours, we won't all be winners

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Would have rather faced Carlton this week to be honest.

That would pretty much have guaranteed Collingwood the Premiership

 

[Hollow Knight]

A lot of passionate diehard longtime Lions and Pies fans about who, somewhat curiously, only just discovered BigFooty this week.



It's tempting to make a quick buck but please look after the real deal fans.

 

[Fitzey]

I’d rather go straight sets than lose a grand final. No prizes for runner up, the prize is the exact same as finishing 18th.

Haha true, except many genuine Collingwood supporters don’t live on BF. By the way I’m looking for three tickets. For real! Happy to spend $$

I think its healthy for you to have this mental approach to supporting footy, given where your list will likely go over the next few seasons under degenerate goodie.

The cope, it burns.

FWIW, the runners up prize is $700k. 18th gets bugger all.

You also get the excitement of your team playing on the hallowed MCG on grand final day.*
