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

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

 

[CrowToon]

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

Based on my allegiances I will still vote yes.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

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

Technically 1899...

 

[Knight82]

Absolutely bloody incredible!!!!!
To lose Oscar and then go on to win - so proud of the boys!

Go Lions!!!

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Feel for Holmes, Cats fell apart without him. Far too reliant on him.

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

Commentators will be bored at the GF with no vic teams to cheer on.

 

[Black Saab]

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

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

Lions will take it out.

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

Congrats dude. Enjoy the week!

 

[Young Redleg]

There's an uncanny trend of a non Victorian side winning it every six years. 2006, 2012, 2018 and now 2024.

The first truly neutral grand final in ages

Since Swans & West Coast

 

[fake tyrone]

Got the prelim we deserved despite the umps again putting on a show of their own. Well done to the Lions, another incredible comeback. Very keen for next week's granny, two clubs with a lot of history in Victoria. Hopefully they both turn it on again.

 

[WillHayward]

Fagan has shoved it right up Hutchison

 

[Chronz]

Just one more game Lions. Take the flag!

 

[The Gong]

Guys, I'm not sure Geelong can win the flag from here

 

[Lingsface]

Damn it, I was celebrating when Henry kicked that goal! A very positive year with some younger boys really developing and us overachieving in many eyes. Well done Brisbane great attitude just relentless pushing forward and pressure!

 

[MisterMarcus]

Good to see so many neutrals so emotionally invested in the result

We clearly live rent free inside many a head on here.

 

[PhatBoy]

Cliff keeps coming closer for the Cats

‘Keeps.’

Hmm. That’s an interesting term.

Something that ‘keeps’ coming closer doesn’t usually do so by being closer last year, and being further away this year. See, we finished 12th last year. We finished 3rd this year.

 

[Black Saab]

Technically 1899...

That's 125 year ago eh

 

[Cleavy]

Commentators will be bored at the GF with no vic teams to cheer on.

maybe we'll get a quality call for a change. haha, as if!

 

[Stottzy]

Andrew Dillion right now

 

[FreoRicci]

Port and Geelong didn’t deserve to be there anyway.
Geelong just lucky with GMHBA. Too bad you can’t have finals in Geelong anymore.

 

[Paul Kersey]

I thought Brisbane players copped front on contact all game but zero frees.

 

[Satan]

Who will replace O

 

[Big Sauce 21]

This is why Brisbane's BEST is better than Geelongs. A hot topic earlier in the week. We turned it AWWWWNNNN

 

[Rubber Snake]

The AFL got their wish…
Unwatchable GF

Big fan of Kai Lohman.

Missed a couple of gettable goals but he was brilliant. Gun
