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

 

[Mr Meow]

This is Mr Meow for: “I feel better now”

And on that note we can finish up. Enjoy the game Saturday!

 

[supahoops]

Yeah but Dixon will get his send off one way or another.
The only chance poor Tom has now is if the Cats win through.
They just have to surely.

Who really cares about a send off, seriously. I would’ve given Dixon a send off years ago, no wonder you’ve never made a GF under Ken with him spudding it up. Hawkins won’t come in for a GF unless there’s multiple injuries, and rightly so.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

The thing about Hawkins is he'll always do what's best for the club. He's selfless and realises team success is more important.

He'll be rapt for Neale to play in a GF.

If Neale doesnt fill Toms big boots on Saturday neither will.
Its a heavy cross to bear for him.

 

[Munich]

High probability they will be unfortunately.
Brisbane will be doing whatever it takes to win or soften you up for the GF.

High probability. Lol.

 

[Mr Meow]

High probability. Lol.

Impressive for them to get away with so many trolling posts, hopefully gets thread banned soon.

You realise Hawkins has barely played all year?

Just because your mob plays injured and past it potatoes doesn't mean we do.

You need to stop, you're embarrassing yourself.

Did a pretty good job bearing that heavy cross in the QF...

Did a pretty good job bearing that heavy cross in the QF...

That doesn't count because Port couldn't be bothered with that game.

We can put all this to bed now that the great Derwaayne has chimed in. Geelong are confirmed just happy to be here, while the Lions (and the Port Power) are in the 'premiership or bust' basket.

Pressure back on Brisbane (and the Port Power), thanks Derwaayne.

Yes we have, and yet we've still won more games than your mob.

Yes but we didnt show up.

Dont be silly, Ken's job is safe, we can lose and it'll just be another meh, no one expected us to get this far.

Lets not forget, JHF is in his 3rd year having only 1 real preseason under his belt and is already a match winner, he, and as a result, we, can only get better.

Geelong legend Derwayne Russell desperate to take the pressure off the cats. What’s next, rex hunt?

The fact that derwayne has felt the need to come out and say this means the pressure is now back on the cats.

Your reverse psychology isn't working. Geelong supporters are behind Ken and Port, but now it's time for you to piss off with your trolling and off topic nonsense.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

I feel like you're a Shane Gillis fan.

- Shane, probably

It's like those Richmond fans claiming Hinkley deliberately let the Cats win as part of the Geelong/CFL/Hocking conspiracy....

Geelong Cats mafia strikes again…

 

[STPer18]

QF loss means nothing now that we're in a Prelim.
It meant more to your form line which is why Cats fans cant accept that we were disinterested.

You'd be hosting a prelim at Adelaide against a lower ranked side rather than playing away against the premiership favourites if Port Power didn't get spooked in the QF against Geelong.

Firstly, learn how to respond into the correct text box, so that way I can properly quote you in order to have a two-way dialogue.

As for your reply:



Guess which demographic of Australian was the inspiration for that particular vernacular? None other than... Queenslanders!

You see, other than the most concerted of efforts from a handful of toff-nosed, inner-suburban Brisbanites keen to shake their inherent Queensland ocker-ness (those from Fortitude Valley are not included as they're a collective lost cause), almost every Queenslander talks like that.

I spent many years in Queensland, and still work with many on a daily basis. Trust me, bruh, I know.

Yes because all lions supporters are Queenslanders. I have been to Kardinia Park, many times and can sum it up with ‘nah cats are good azzzz c@$t, might go to the sphinx after this get on the woody’s’, kids are at me ex’s so all good- chuck me a lighter Cobb’

Hopefully you at least learned some of the rules there unlike the brainless Gabba crowd.

 

[Dudoro]

Lions will absolutely be up and about. Cats by 50

Now you're just attacking a strawman. I never said all Lions supporters are Queenslanders.

What I did do was refute your assertion that I'd depicted your supporter base as sounding like "Geelong inbreds" when in fact I drew upon my many years spent in Queensland as inspiration for how a (bogan) Lions supporter might sound.

It's parody, my friend, using the talking points I hear from Lions fans frequently on BigFooty.

Geelong legend Derwayne Russell desperate to take the pressure off the cats. What’s next, rex hunt?

The fact that derwayne has felt the need to come out and say this means the pressure is now back on the cats.

That campaigner hates Geelong. The fact he played a few games in the hoops means nothing.

He made it clear before the 2007 Grand Final when he said, and I don't quote verbatim but to the best of my recollection, something along the lines of;

"I am a Port man, always will be. I played for the (Port) Magpies as a Port Adelaide man, and I played for Geelong as an employee. I wore the prison bars with passion and I wore the hoops for a job."

Derwayne was so, so salty after 119.

I recall Derwayne's puff piece in the Adelaide Advertiser in the week leading up to the Grand Final, which, after 119, made him look silly.

Something a long the lines of, "Port existed to win Premierships in the SANFL and to win two flags in its 10-year history in the AFL would cement that legacy."

In principle there's nothing wrong with what he said, but let's just be clear that Derwayne ain't no Geelong legend and barely tolerates being publicly associated with the club.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

It's like those Richmond fans claiming Hinkley deliberately let the Cats win as part of the Geelong/CFL/Hocking conspiracy....

He did, I thought this was common knowledge.

The only reason anyone can come up with as to why Cats fans wont acknowledge it is because you need to believe we tried to support your belief that you have a finals capable form line, rather than the few soft kills you got around your St Kilda loss.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

You'd be hosting a prelim at Adelaide against a lower ranked side rather than playing away against the premiership favourites if Port Power didn't get spooked in the QF against Geelong.

Cant win a flag sleeping in our own beds like some we wont mention, so a bit of team bonding on the road as a dress rehearsal is welcomed.
