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...

Has anyone been given a bigger hiding in a granny?

Geelong beat Port Adelaide in 2007 by 119 points.

 

[Plugger35]

Why is the advantage clearly considered the wrong call? He clearly kicks it what 2 secs after the whistle? It def wasn't instantanious with the whistle going. Hes chosen to kick the ball forward well after the whistle went. If Rayner takes the mark and it gets called back and the Collingwood get all 18 inside def 50, it would have been a worse call.

The crowd there was noisy as hell, do you expect the players to hear the whistle with that crowd noise? It's a lot easier to hear it on the tv.

It should've been brought back for a free kick to Brisbane as there wasn't any advantage for them, it may as well not have been a free kick.

Do you ever watch footy? Or just the free kick count/umpiring?

Bit sad.

When do you make the call though, the umpire looked in 2 minds. You surely cant wait to see if Brisbane mark it. If they did mark it and its called back, it would be a disaster.

Great game. Brisbane never led at the end of any quarter, but were always close.

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

Big Kudos to West Coast for breaking this VICBIAS a few years back. Must have been sweet.

 

[The King!]

some ripping goals on the run in this game

 

[YeoShuey]

Stevic should umpire every game. Best umpire in the league.

 

[Xtreme]

I thought it was great, but the fourth quarter brought it down a bit (not because of the result as such, just tiring bodies and some questionable umpiring).

I've officially watched the match twice, might do it two more times tomorrow then retire it for a while.

[CaptainHowdy87]

Yeah 4 point wins over interstate sides don’t count champion. You’re not the better side of you win by less than a goal in a home GF

Jesus mate, you're having a shocker

How early did you get started on the piss today?

considered faking cramp to kill the clock before kicking the goal that sealed the 2023 premiership.

It was a good grand finsl, I was just so desperate for a game that had no suggestion of umpire influence and that was not what occurred at the end.

 

[JyeDye]

Frampton barely did more in that game then me, yet he's walking away with a Premiership medal. A true hero we can all look up to, do the minimum to win the most.

 

[Chronz]

Gee your "premiership team" certainly struggled to beat us on anzac day.

Enjoyed the training session against a bunch of witches hats in rd 24.

 

[dumb]

i don't like it! but i can't say they don't deserve it.
well done pies. best team for the year, some shaky footy toward the back end of the season, and brought back the A game for finals.
pretty pleased for darcy moore

. gone from failed forward, to very good backman, to captain. he's a good egg.
where to for some of their veterans, running around again? can they keep it up another year or will the team be as good if some of them pull the pin?

bad luck brisbane. i was rootin' for ya. i'm sure you'll be around the mark next year. maybe next time let carlton try and stop collingwood eh?

 

[bilko2]

Thought Moore struggled more than Andrews did today, though admittedly had a far better opponent.

Moore wasn’t at his best. Dan

Frampton was less deserving of a premiership medal today than Leon Davis and he didn't even play in the replay.

He got beaten in pretty much every contest by Harris Andrews and was lucky he didn't give away more free kicks than he did.

I feel sorry for McStay who missed out on a premiership medal while a clearly inferior player to him got one.

Totally agree with what you write but if Frampton was so bad, why wasn’t Harris so good.

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

How many weeks for Cameron after that late bump on Howe?
Broke 3 ribs.
Surely rough conduct.

Doesn’t know how to use grammar or punctuation.

Accuses others of being uneducated.

Well I don't that's why I never accuse others of being uneducated. But I worked hard to live in a nice bayside suburb not because I know where to put a comma.

Hopefully old mate Curnow was taking notes, that's how you tie up a dangerous full back son

#16 in the bag and nothing you salty ****s can do or say to change it.

Thankful it was a close GF for the neutrals, been some real boring games the last few years.
