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

 

[PhatBoy]

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

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

It’s hilarious seeing how much happier neutrals are, than disappointed Cats fans are

 

[WillHayward]

Yeah we look pretty cooked. McInerney getting injured doesn't help, but it looks like a bridge too far to get up from here. We looked tired and sore.

What an epic second half.
Well done

 

[Mr Cannons]

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

Chris Scott has failed miserably more than he’s succeeded, tonight was a massive choke job

 

[BuffDog]

Two non-vic teams tearing up the G, Old Fitzroy and South Melbourne fans in attendance.

Bring on next week

 

[Corn Cobbers]

That's 125 year ago eh

Extremely relevant, Lions have a psychological advantage from their win that day

gonna have to suddenly find his footy boots

 

[kozi]

Rayner had his Tom Boyd moment

 

[SSSSSS]

‘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.

Hey if I wish it it will finally come true!

Broken clock and all.

Bad luck tonight

Bring on next week

Average age for the crowd wise will likely be the highest of any Grand Final in AFL history.

 

[FreoRicci]

Who comes in for Big O? Do Brisbane even have a second ruck

 

[Paul Kersey]

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

Reckon Brisbane on paper are a much, much better team.

 

[dean33]

Sets up a great grand final, 2 previous losers face off for redemption.

 

[CakeEater]

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.

They cant win finals in Geelong though?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Did Rayner... just... upon entering the rooms...

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Who will replace O

Fort

 

[T2B_]

Big fan of Kai Lohman.

He's a beauty, no idea where he came from but can play. Noticed him bobbing up all year.

 

[Hawkforce]

Nature is healing

 

[jc37]

Go Lions make it count next Saturday

Cats lucky to be in top 4 with the ridiculous soft draw they were given and the fact AFL doesnt worry about them cheating the cap.

 

[PerthBoy86]

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

Thank you Brisbane for destroying any chance of Geelong overtaking our 4 afl premierships.

 

[Foxx]

Good luck next week Joe. Break a leg!

 

[Black Saab]

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.

With Collingwood failing, Carlton not backing up from last season and Richmond having too many ACL's, some lesser teams had to make up the top 4.

 

[Lingsface]

State of origin grand final maroons vs blues.

 

[Del208273]

Two non-Victorians teams = Brian Taylor getting a record number of names wrong next week.

 

[Coasters7]

No we didn’t. We finished in the top four of an equalised competition where a number of sides haven’t been able to even be remotely competitive for decades at a time and we’re in front with 2 minutes to go.

Brisbane did a great job and fully earned their win.

You’ve embarrassed yourself with this post.

You have the best fixture/venues of any side in it, very hard to miss the top 4 in such an even comp with the advantages you have

YEAH LAST TIME WE PLAYED A HOME FINAL WE TOTALLY........er....never mind....
