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

 

[guruisatiger]

Best preliminary final since 2019

 

[mrmonkey]

Great game we deserved it after last night's snooze fest.

 

[YeoShuey]

Unsure who I want to win the Grand Final now.

I’ll probably go Sydney as they mostly look better. No other basis.

 

[Daka]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA

Couldn't be more happier, I hate Geelong but holy shit you guys almost threw it away.

 

[CrowToon]

First uncompromised GF since 2006. What a great week coming up.

 

[BFew]

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Starcevich and Ah-Chee were freaking huge.

 

[Magma]

think we have to consider brisbane and sydney traditional football cities now. 2 teams stacked with talent

 

[Elixuh]

Geelong is a quality organisation. Such a tough team to play against. What a great prelim.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Time for a rebuild for the cats methinks.

Congrats Lions, fantastic heart shown again.

We do be entertaining lol

 

[SSSSSS]

Stanley is lucky he is 6 foot 7.

 

[MF]

What a game. Really wanted Geelong in the big one but the lions have shown themselves to be the most worthy opponent so let's do it

 

[Black Saab]

Finally another interstate Granny first one since 2006.

First time for a Sydney vs Brisbane GF too. That's great.

 

[Ocha905]

Yeah that's a classic game. Last quarter in particular was insane.

Hopefully Brisbane have something left in the tank for next week.

 

[Zevon]

Sooooooo I think we all agree last night was the more entertaining of the two prelims, amirite???

 

[PhatBoy]

Man, I'd be spewing if I was a Geelong fan, they really messed up at the end.

Disappointed but what the hell, we weren’t expected to be there, just a few **** ups we should have done better against a side who were sharper and cleaner when it mattered. If someone offered me a lead in a prelim final with a couple of minutes left at the start of the season I’d have taken it

 

[Beauski]

You lost Geelong, get off the ground losers

with his usual composure and skill

 

[Osho]

Fages loses his ruck. No fear. Put Joe in the ruck. And the pressure was amped up, and when they attack, they are ken good.

Max Props Lions!

 

[Aaron Reed]

A lot of geelongs hero players choked when it mattered, wouldn’t be a more luckier mob to win a premiership than the 22 crew, which took drastic rule changes in their favour by one of their own to give them any chance! ANYONE but south Melbourne as the opponent that day would’ve won, the worlds biggest clown wouldn’t have a medal and the bloke with the luckiest inheritance ever wouldn’t be fapped over anywhere near as much as he currently is

2009 still hurts

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Lions are done

Oh dear.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Cue the moaning about why can't Geelong play home finals at KP

 

[Kram]

Big fan of Kai Lohman.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This is the AFL’s dream Grand Final. Massive ratings in QLD and NSW and the footy states will watch regardless

They may have been hoping for GWS and Sydney
