Autopsy AFL 2024 First Semi Final - GWS V Lions Sat Sept 14th 7:30pm EST (Engie) Teams in OP

[Polly]

We're seeing a premiership era wasted right in front of our eyes. All this talent yet don't know how to get the job done.

And don't give me the excuse of injuries. West Coast won 2018 without Gaff, Naitanui, Sheppard and McGovern with broken ribs.

Onya mate, get your Wet Tiast plug in there

 

[Seeds]

A prelim between the Cats and the Lions at the MCG just like 20 years ago.

Or 2 years ago

 

[Mofra]

Dixon's final match before retirement. Just go all Lynch on everyone.

Based on week 1 of the finals he'll be swinging to slow to connect to anyone

 

[CuttlefishMcfly]

Lets see if you are happy this time next week when the Cats hand you a beating.

Sorry for last week… You must have been devastated

 

[FreoRicci]

Tried to keep it in, ball hits the back of his hand as he tries to stop himself being barrelled into the dirt... DELIBERATE!

OK.

Exactly. Very tough call. It’s a final. Have to put away the whistle on that one. Daniher slapped his hand more then Taylor touched it

 

[Roobs321]

rhcp scar tissue playing mournfully at the Showgrounds right now

 

[JD888]

Any chance Berry could look at the person he is talking to?

What are you talking about?

 

[Elixuh]

Don't worry there's always next year for a Carlton supporter. Too early for the ladder predictor? Carlton top 4?

That’s their secret. It’s always next year.

 

[Coolangatta]

That’s their secret. It’s always next year.

You know they’re coming!!

 

[demondavey]

Not cocky at all. Not saying it's going to be easy just easier

Not necessarily

 

[kickazz]

GWS have all the talent in the world to win a flag, yet when it matters they can't get it done.

Leadership issue imo.

Yeah they need a Tom Atkins type, older lower paid battler who is tough as nails and expwxts the same from teammates

 

[Elixuh]

Lets see if you are happy this time next week when the Cats hand you a beating.

You seem very upset based on your potting of the lions and other posters in this thread. Womp womp.

60-0

 

[Chronz]

Lol stick to rugby then and local crash and bash afl leagues. No one wanted you imposters apart of the our league anyway and mergers only made you free loaders competitive anyway.

Need more handouts/ academy players / whole state zoned players etc etc to remain a winning team?? Lol you guys!

One week later status: Still mad

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Don’t know if I’ve seen a team lack as much composure as the Giants last couple of weeks.

Even when they got the opportunity to slow it down, they just kept going flat stick.

Wow.

 

[Mr Meow]

You guys need to be careful making bold predictions about pushovers next weekend.

Brisbane are dynamic enough at their best to knock off Geelong. This season isn't scripted just yet.

The 2023 grand finalists, who have won 12 of their past 14 games and have a list with more players in their prime - they should be favourites against Geelong.

Odds will slightly favour the Cats because of the venue but I think average neutral supporter and media prediction could still lean the Lion's way.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

You know they’re coming!!

We all know what they're cooking....

Sadly It's on the very slow cooker. 30 years and counting.

Dixon looked pretty shabby at training

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Imagine being a top 4 team, get gifted the number 1 draft pick, another early pick in Fletcher and still not make a prelim...

Wouldn’t be us.

 

[demondavey]

Very good finals player though does a lot of unnoticed things.

Was huge tonight

 

[Bluechip66]

You know they’re coming!!

 

[Polly]

And that’s why we shouldn’t let the AFL insert their franchises into the competition

Yes we need more North Melbournes!
Jeeesus.

And I didn't see it and Carlton may well have been poo but I've heard that first half from the Lions last week was the best footy played by anyone all year.

They have the talent and Geelong Brisbane games over previous years have tended to be pretty close

Lmao so good

 

[Hoops]

Not necessarily

Maybe not and we will never know, just one person's opinion based on how well GWS play against Geelong compared to Brisbane in recent times.

New training facilities are looking sharp at North
