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

Chris Scott now 46% winning record in finals… but coaching genius and all that

Chris Scott Record - Preliminary Finals
Win: 3
Loss: 6
Win Strike Rate: 33.3%

Overall - Finals
Win: 14
Loss: 16
Win Strike Rate: 46.6%

Can't remember watching a better prelim

 

[MisterMarcus]

Two straight kicks from another GF, why wouldn’t you be bitterly disappointed??

Because almost everyone - including most on Bigfooty - predicted The Cliff (TM) had hit and we'd be bottom 6.

A prelim with a rebuilding/transitional list is pretty good going.

 

[Handsuper47]

Great game, hope Daniher can learn for next week not to be a turnover merchant

 

[Mr Cannons]

No one does it better than the master choker.

Wowww what a response, doesn’t make what I said wrong.

 

[dean33]

This Sydney team isn't that dominant of a first placed side.

Brisbane will feast on Amatey and McDonald. Just a really united back 6.

I actually can’t pick it, hopefully its a cracker.

 

[Bollox]

Great second half.
Going to be a great game next week.

 

[beema limapep]

Delicious. Stand rule couldnt get them over the line for another flag.

Chris Scott mentality.

Just happy to be there.

Embarrassing.

 

[2 eazy]

First non Victoria GF in 19 years

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Well damn. Good win.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Do Lions fly home tonight or tomorrow?

tonight. that's why the AFL scheduled it as twilight

Do Lions fly home tonight or tomorrow?

tonight

Two straight kicks from another GF, why wouldn’t you be bitterly disappointed??

Because it was a bonus being where we were. Yeah sure I’d have loved it, who wouldn’t, and of course I’m disappointed, but a host of players with little or no finals experience just got some, played an equally if not more battle hardened finals side, went toe to toe with them for four quarters at the end of a season where we weren’t supposed to be in this position. Why piss my pants over it

 

[Cleansweep17]

Another prelim loss for the cats, and another having a sizeable at half time.

Hinkley is jealous, not even he can choke it that hard pffff hahaha

 

[Mofra]

This Sydney team isn't that dominant of a first placed side.

Brisbane will feast on Amatey and McDonald. Just a really united back 6.

But Papley and Heeney? They're the danger.
Swans barely fired a shot with Papley out and still finished on top.

 

[CrowToon]

Efa.

Can you stop ruining my narrative. 20/21 didn't happen ok.

 

[OniAu]

First non Victoria GF in 19 years

No Collingwood no Victoria. Win for us pies fans

This isn't the critique you think it is. Amazing effort just to get to 9 Prelims and play in 30 total.

 

[Aaron Reed]

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.

You had a GF in Perth and neither of you even turned up.

 

[PhatBoy]

Hahahahah

You choose to play your home game against big clubs at the MCG.

And now you want to sook about it.

Get over it.

No we don’t. Get your fact checker to check your facts

 

[Black Saab]

Yeah but we don’t do we. We get less home games than all the other teams.
When that changes, we can talk.

Should have played this game at Bongo Drum stadium.

 

[RandB]

Which guernsey do Lions go with next week?

 

[guruisatiger]

Starcevich and Ah-Chee were freaking huge.

As was Lester

 

[Lunchtime]

And yet they play the MCG and handle big occasions far better than Sydney

Sydney's going to drop the soap next week!

What's probably worse is that Geelong lost to a team (Brisbane Lions) who has an absolutely horrendous and horrific record at the MCG..
