Autopsy AFL 2024 Preliminary Final - Cats v Lions Sat Sept 21st 5:15pm EST (MCG)

[PhatBoy]

I find that a bit hard to believe

I’m disappointed, any team’s fans are when they lose, but I’m not going to tear my hair out over it. We were never expected to get this far, we gave it a great crack, and were beaten by a better side, and dozens of neutrals seem to be celebrating like their own teams have just won a flag

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Cats the cockiest fan base going around these days

Yes, I too make sweeping generalisations over one nuffie on a footy forum.

Cats played their granny week 1. Lions will have it won at half time if they are on

Sometimes a person's views are stupid even if they are being sarcastic.

I think we'll win it, despite the gap in experience because:

• we're not playing injured players
• we're not persisting with out of form players
• last week said as much about the Giants as it did about the Lions

But I wouldn't be devastated if we lost. Wouldn't be a choke or a squandered era if we did.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Hopefully a more competitive final than last night. Geelong should be favourites though.

Cats the cockiest fan base going around these days

Based on what, the two dozen of us saying that Brisbane are a huge chance if they bring their best footy and that we are pretty happy just to have made it this far, and the one person who has said ‘if we win today we are home?’

Yeah that one guy is our supporter base

Do you understand how this works? In what way did Geelong play their grand final
in week one? We won by 84 points and were never extended, whereas Bris had
a tough hard game and got up in a hugely emotional ending, and that is exactly
where let downs begin.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Heading in now, best of luck Cats fans. Your club is the embodiment of what I want out of the Lions and a part of me thinks the last 5 years has scratched a bit of that surface re: consistency.

May the best team win and hopefully its a cracking game

The age of grandpa Fages is upon us

 

[kreuze_missile]

I hope the lions win by 120.

And i will be here to enjoy the melts.

 

[Drunkcat]

I thought we would go out in straight sets, so tonight i just watch and hope and if we lose so be it, if we win great.

He's looking for Nick Watson.

 

[bloodsbigot]

If we beat lions then we win the flag. Pretty confident of that. tonight is the tough one

Won't be easy as last time. Guarantee it.

 

[voorhees]

pains me to admit.. the Cats will do them with strength and a over bearing stronger structure.
Lions to hot or cold to tip..
cats by 18p

Am flabbergasted by the amount of hatred the AFLcommunity has towards geelong. We get called arrogant all the time, yet when you ask for an example of being arrogant you can never get one.

We are the most respectful club in the AFL. Scotty in the media is incredibly humble and level headed, as are our players.

The message from Scotty at 3qtr time in the 22 grand final was “ don’t rub it in”.


We are also the type of club that doesn’t shower Gatorade because someone has to clean it up.

By arrogant… I think they just have severe cases of tall poppy syndrome.

Arrogant is Tom papley, Luke bevo, ken hinkley, hardwick.

 

[420]

Sick to death of the cats being there-abouts. Truly a professional and well run organisation but fmd its boring, same thing every year for a decade plus. Go Loins!

 

[beez]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

And even though they have two of the floggiest flogs that ever flog in Zorko and Rayner, I implore Brisbane to win.

Pretty please with sugar on top.

 

[Lethal09]

Go Cats crush them!

 

[StillAtLarge]

I'll delete my account if Geelong win this

Pure envy, is why.

isn’t making a late change. This is great personal growth for Scotty. I’m sure it was a difficult decision.

 

[Jibroni]

Let's go Brisvegas.

A non Vic GF would be great for the game and two clubs that deserve another premiership.

 

[Sherrinator]

The Steven King medical episode is the sort of thing that can really unsettle a team, both that it happened right in front of them as well as what it does to the matchday planning.

Excuses out hey champion

If you don’t shout him down then you are approving his message

 

[bmaurizio]

Lions reasonably comfortably in the end. Big O in the ruck , Cameron , Ah Chee , Rayner & Daniher will get them across the line.
Momentum has shifted , more positive and they’re in good place at the moment.
