Autopsy AFL 2024 First Elimination Final - Lions v Blues Sat Sept 7th 7:30pm EST (Gabba) - Teams in OP

[melvilledocker]

Can anyone tell me what exactly Hipwood has done tonight (apart from having the best spectator seat in the house) ?

He has attended the match

 

[Delisted]

Yeah it was embarrassing. Not sure what your point is? Three teams absolutely shit the bed this week and were somehow better than you

Carlton actually had a higher score tonight.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

This is as unconvincing I've seen from a finals team who was winning 60-15 at half time. Brisbane should be thankful GWS emptied their tank and then some today.

 

[Joffaboy]

Blues fans have had a rough few weeks.

They lose to St Kilda. Basically shit themselves for 2 hours only to get belted in finals.

I wonder if they will come to our board like they did when they lost to us but fell into the finals.
Hilarious.
Foregone conclusion they would embarrass themselves tonight.

Commentary team is hilarious. “At least Carlton haven’t been absolutely embarrassed”.

Bro, the game was over halfway through the second quarter and the Lions have been in cruise control for an entire half

To be fair it's correct. They had everything except thier undies pulled down.

Nic Newman complaining about niggling and trash talking.

What's next, Tom Papley complaining about other players celebrating too much?

Or Charlie Cameron screaming at his teammates when they overlook him & go for goal!

Carlton once again falling short and not winning a Finals match outside Victoria. This time losing to the Brisbane Lions by 28 points in an Elimination Final at the Gabba.

Foot off the gas after 10 goals up. Bigger fish to fry than a wildcard easy beat.

Brisbane just got over the line against a team where half the side is carrying injuries…..

 

[The King!]

Second closest final of the weekend, Blues showed some fight at least

 

[My Tilly]

Giants should pump Fagan's cubs

 

[HTPunter]

I have Hinkley like doubts on Fagan.

I rate Brisbane the best 22, although Payne injury will dictate whether they are a contender still - most underrated player in the comp.

But I wonder whether Fagan has the hard side needed to get Brisbane playing to their full ability, especially being unselfish going forward. It’s been their problem for a number of years now - always general play dominance, which won’t stop with Will & Levi coming through as the next gen and Rayner/Coleman establishing themselves, but they never quite finish it on the scoreboard. And a lot comes down to shot selection.

Does Fagan give them a rocket tonight or does he bank the win? I’d be giving them a rocket.

 

[Bagger72]

Well done Blues - proud of the players.

Unlucky things didnt go our way this year - but for heavens sakes man can we please have a settled side in 2025.

 

[LordLucifer]

'll refrain from giving the full ten barrels right now but there cannot be any glossing over any of this performance tonite and the lead-up to it.

In fact this has been an extremely embarrassing & lacklustre second half of the season and there is no acceptable reason why it happened.

There has to be a serious review of our coaches, match committee & playing list now because it beggars belief how we have gone from raging flag favourites to winning only two more matches for the season and they were against the two bottom teams.

We only fell into a finals spot because Freo crapped their dacks, we didn't earnt it and we played like that tonite.

There is so much more to write but I am far too livid, gutted & embarrassed by what this club has given us this season, enough's enough, we have been bypassed by the Hawks already.

Scoreboard flatters Brisbane

 

[Some_guy]

Its a shame we missed a chance to increase our %, Hope it doesnt cost us later

 

[Toffee Lion]

Vossy staying on at Carlton will keep them at bay from being a threat.

 

[Diehard Saint]

To be fair Carlton have done a lot better than I thought they would tonight

If Lions kicked half the goals they shanked, Blues wouldn’t have been anywhere near it.

Their goal kicking stats are abysmal.

Hipwood shouldn’t be picked - he has zero impact. Aren’t key forwards supposed to kick some goals ?

 

[Bagger72]

Meh - this has nothing to do with coaches and players and everything to do with fitness staff thats been overhauled for next year

 

[MisterMarcus]

They got away with it tonight, but Brisbane's poor goal kicking has been a real problem lately.

 

[brutus76]

if TDK had of started reckon it would have been super close

Baffling decision to say the least

I've been in Brisbane for 10 years - it's been woeful since i got here

 

[sherb]

At least we showed up in the second half.

Pity we didn't do the same in the first half, which was an utter disgrace.

Well done Lions.
