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...

The advantage was shit and should have been called back, but Brisbane had 22 to 16 free kicks, along with allowing Collingwood 57 to 43 inside 50s. And 60 to 49 intercept marks Collingwoods way. And finally 73 tackles to 53 Collingwoods way.

The better team on the day won.

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.

He shut Harris Andrews completely out of the game

You can tell the Collingwood supporters are already insecure about this one. They know it’s as illegitimate as
Go and celebrate you sad flogs.

Carlton capitulated last week and couldn’t stay with Brisbane.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Carlton capitulated last week and couldn’t stay with Brisbane.

I wouldn’t say capitulated. I thought we performed admirably. Brisbane are a very good side and hard to beat at home.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

He shut Harris Andrews completely out of the game

Andrews had the most 1% and intercepts for the game

Was probably Brisbanes third best player

 

[JyeDye]

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

I'll make sure to send him the tape. I'm not even trolling I'm genuinely happy for the bloke. 2 more touches then me, but 1 whole premiership medal.

As a full back you get a 1% for breathing near the ball.

I don't give a toss what the stats say, he had f**k all influence. I saw Billy own him time and time again.

 

[ChristianBoy]

In the end the script went to plan. AFL got the result they wanted. From the moment Maynard deliberately knocked out Brayshaw to the final advantage call. One of the worst administered finsls series in history.

How many beers deep were you at 2.30?

Hard disagree.

 

[bilko2]

Andrews?

The one who Champion Data rated as Brisbane's third best player?

Daniher was good. Charlie was good. Bailey and McCarthy kept you in it. Rayner, Berry, Neale, Hipwood and others had ordinary days but Hill, Cox and Mitchell had their best games for the season. Crisp is very good but he was super today as well.

I doubt Fagan is buying your view, he just watched Frampton nullify his most important player.

 

[ChristianBoy]

I doubt Fagan is buying your view, he just watched Frampton nullify a key player in BNE winning the GF.

He was terrible.

Yes he won but he was terrible.

 

[YeoShuey]

Teams who would beat Collingwood in a Grand Final:
1. Carlton
2. Hawthorn
3. West Coast?

 

[Bjo187]

Was it loud inside the stadium? Because channel 7's coverage made it seem like there were about 15k there, with their penchant for dulling out the crowd noise. They seriously need to buy some effects mic's.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

What does this mean?

Rayner is a best 22 player who just didn't have his best day.

Frampton was only selected because he's tall. Quite literally no other reason. Wasn't selected because of ability or a hunch he'd perform. It's the most hollow premiership medal in league history aside from James Jordan who didn't take the field.

Even Cam Mooney gets a pass for his 5 minutes of statless fame in 1999, because he was never given another opportunity to impact the contest.

He was given a task to shutdown the oppositions key interceptor and he did so admirably.

Andrews had zero influence on the game.

Did you win the Expected Score GF?

17 touches at fullback

What a terrible day.

Revolting coverage.

Did you win the Expected Score GF?

The free and goal to Daicos set the scene. In the end the umpires did what they were there to do.

Get Collingwood home.

100k people were there and it was within a couple of kicks for all of the two hours. Going to guess it was very loud

Every other broadcaster of every sport would be pumping up the crowd noise but channel 7 is built different

 

[Pancakes]

This was obvious to anyone that understands the game (ruling out 90% of this forum though), there was ample time for the Lions to stop and hold up play, but they continued on.
Advantage was called correctly and the game went on.

 

[No SPIN]

He was terrible.

Yes he won but he was terrible.

He can play that “terrible” anytime we play BNE and I’d be happy.
