Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 23 - Pies v Lions Fri Aug 18th 7:50pm EST (Marvel)

[The_torpedo]

Brisbane have an inability to close out games and they are facing the team best at 4th quarter comebacks.

Pies to kick 5 goals in the last to win by 5-10 points.

Is the MCG sick of Collingwood fans trashing their place? Might have to build their own 100k stadium

Reg Grundy35 tagging because you don't know how to quote, and seemingly don't know what a question mark means either.

 

[M Malice]

Lions by 60+.

I was a young man with my whole life ahead of me when the Pies last beat the Lions. Can they overcome this hoodoo?

Good point, the Pies are our bunnies

 

[JackFlash]

The Lions would get lost in a revolving door away from the Gabba...Pies by 35 points..

Yes please

 

[beerbandit]

I think Pies will play this game in 3rd gear. Lions should win if serious this year, probably beneficial for Pies to let Brissy finish 2nd as it will just about guarantee a Collingwood v Brisbane GF

Judging by the fact that this year we have the biggest crowds in the history of the game, a 100k stadium may not be big enough.

There is always that stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea.

We play a lot better at Marvel but I'd still rather this game had of been at the MCG.

We've had great support in Melbourne in recent years and with this being 1 v 2 on the ladder this could have easily reached 70k+. Similar match in 2019 versus Richmond had 77,000 which is the highest home and away crowd with 1 interstate team. Totally inept decision by the AFL.

Regardless, a lot more on the line for the Lions as a win almost assures a Top 2 finish. A loss and we'll need other results to finish second.

Lions by 5 in an all-time classic.

The game would easily get 70,000 at the mcg. Collingwood are a much bigger club then Richmond and would smash there 77,000 crowd with ease

 

[My Tilly]

Collingwood by 3 goals.

Cam Rayner 12 touches, 1 goal and 2 behinds.

Meh, Matildas draw bigger audiences than you lot.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Collingwood by 3 goals.

Cam Rayner 12 touches, 1 goal and 2 behinds.

That’s generous.

 

[My Tilly]

That’s generous.

Ok then, 9 touches, 0 goals and 3 behinds.

I'm not so sure about that GF projection. Brisbane haven't won a whole lot of Gabba finals against sides not called Richmond over the past few years.

GWS, Bulldogs and Geelong have ended their season up there in knockout finals.

 

[Milux]

Collingwood by 3 goals.

Cam Rayner 12 touches, 1 goal and 2 behinds.

Why just single Cam out? 75% of our players are so far out of form.

That’s ok we will play them back into form.

 

[Milux]

That’s ok we will play them back into form.

Cam hasn't played a good game since you guys. So we'd appreciate that thanks.

 

[Elixuh]

Good to see this one being played at our home away from home, Marvel.

 

[Carringbush2010]

What's the Pies depth like? Is this the first time they've had more than 3 on the injury list this year?

Actually the first time we dropped two games in a row we were at full strength, for the season previous to those games we had injuries, including no ruckman for about 4 games for memory.

I'll call Eddie.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Cracking game of footy, I'll tip Collingwood purely as I trust them more and the ions away scare me when tipping

Collingwood would have to worried about the travel factor as well.... so we should win this one.
