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...

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.

It was deafening, and my ears are still ringing. GO PIES, PREMIERS 2023!!

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

Zero weeks.

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

Get Collingwood home.

But did you win the Expected Score GF?
Just asking for a friend.

Comment made by Brian Taylor towards the end of the match was that the crowd was "one thousand and twenty-four"! My son quipped that he had more than that show up for his suburban footy practice match. Had to laugh out loud at that one

2000 23 years ago stop and let that sink in

Yes we won the grand final that day with no help from the umps, it was how it should be

I love it!!! Why didn't they get us home in 2018? Ump just had to blow his whistle and call the block on Maynard and job done!

 

[magpielicious]

To Pies supporters, we did it!!
To true neutrals, it was an awesome game. Nail biting from start to finish.
To Pies haters, OH HOW SWEET 16 PREMIERSHIPS ARE.
Now crawl back under your rock, you tossers!
Nothing gives us Pies supporters greater pleasure than knowing so many of you are hurting more than the team that lost!
Good night!

Really cool to know. I kept turning up the volume on the channel 7 broadcast but all it really did was make the commentary team louder.

Get Collingwood home.

The freekick count says otherwise,

 

[bilko2]

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

Have a look at the replay. The build up to the two goals where McInerney and Daniher were given the ball lace out. There was a third and fourth goal, one involved Hipwood kicking from the half back flank to Kideon. They were all well constructed goals by Brisbane but that didn’t happen today in fact you saw the frustration of the Brisbane players (Neale, Zorko) today on occasion when they were starved of opportunity on the half back line when they had possession.

I also find it funny how Brian and j.b say 'wow listen to the noise', not realising that the ch7 viewer at home can barely hear any crowd noise through their tv, coz of ch7's shit production team.

 

[Didak Wine]

If some of you are salty cause of that 50 to Steele, don't let it get you down. Love all yous haters

 

[ChristianBoy]

The freekick count says otherwise,

Don’t care.

15 out directly in front of goal.

Set the tone

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.

Just got home (watched on the big screen in the city) and watched the highlights. Last 5 minutes it seemed to me on the tv the crowd noise was wasn't as loud as I expected, despite how close/tense it was. Was it just the broadcast? I imagine it was rocking at the G. Also the pressure/desperation seemed a little less than I expected, maybe heat/fatigue?

 

[TW Sherrin]

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.

Ssshhhhh.

That doesn't suit the narrative

 

[The_torpedo]

****ing cracker of a game.

1 moment goes slightly differently - McLuggage/Daniher convert their set shots, Berry doesn't give a 50 away, advantage doesn't get paid at the end and we're all talking about how Collingwood couldn't convert their chances and choked on the big stage along with brisbane's ability to ride out the opposition momentum, take their chances and sneak a win

Nevertheless Collingwood the better team overall and thoroughly deserving premiers. Brisbane also would've been had they snuck it. Both teams will be thoroughly in contention next year and dare i say we might see one (or both!) of them back here on the 28th of September 2024

Yeah, you usually get a free kick when you get whacked in the head.

It is hard to read your posts through your tears. Oh your hurt and pain and immense jealousy is a beautiful thing. Sweet 16

It was loud AF at the G. As loud as the prelim against GWS.

The heat might have been a factor but in my eyes the entire 2nd half was a high pressure affair as you'd expect of a closely contested GF.

It was a great game. Brisbane are a brilliant side.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

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

Yeah most important players always play at full back
