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

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Any sight of Rayner yet?

 

[Linda Lovelace]

Any sight of Rayner yet?

He was my lock for the Leon Davis medal. Shame he won't get his chance.

 

[beez]

Hawkins will just be like Moons and Milburn in 2011, motivating in the rooms

Sure.

Or maybe they're just a bloody good football side that, for the most part, has at least half a dozen players that step up when needed. Whether that's in 2011 or 2024.

Sickening.

 

[Delisted]

Any sight of Rayner yet?

He's had enough. Gone to the beach

 

[Sherrinator]

Does Brisbane not have a back up ruckman?

How many big lumbering giants can you play? Joe and Hipwood is it.

 

[Plugger35]

Bruce talking about Geelong "They switched the flick".

He's cooked but still a better commentator than Darcy.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Ah Chee looks a bit slower out there today, needs to up the pressure

Yeah, he's been really dangerous lately, I was worried about the Cats paying him no respect.

 

[Roobs321]

McStay would be handy right now. They used to have Stefan Martin

earlier in the Fages era but he was at the dogs a few years ago.

Joe is their backup.

 

[Sherrinator]

Lions in front on most stats but the one that matters so far

Blame Bailey for that!

 

[Freomaniac]

Congrats Geelong on the 2024 Premiership.

Just turn up.

Your team won the 2013-15 flags just by rocking up.... Sober lol

 

[Sherrinator]

Think we are playing too many injured tonight

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

He's had enough. Gone to the beach

Classic Sprayner. Can't even time an emergency trip to the beach for a sunny day! It's pissing down here in Brighton!

 

[Roobs321]

There have been some games this season where you would kill for Bailey to have 1.3 running shots in the first half. He is at least getting involved, had that spoil down back as well. Running the lines and finding some footy, just his finishing remains off.

 

[Freomaniac]

No Sydney’s flag to lose, they go in deserved favourites whoever they play.

Nope



If it's cats vs swans, dead certain cats will win

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Joe is their backup.

Is Joe considered a good ruck?

 

[Xtreme]

Geelong in the box seat with a match winning lead
But they've given up match winning leads before...

 

[WillHayward]

Hard to see Lions home from here. Would be a herculean effort.

 

[JasRulz63]

Is Joe considered a good ruck?

Largely useless.

 

[WillHayward]

Is Joe considered a good ruck?

No

 

[Plugger35]

You can't write off Brisbane just yet after their comeback last week but it won't be as easy for them to comeback against Geelong.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Largely useless.

No

It's okay, Stanley is the same.

 

[_Mike_]

Blame Bailey for that!

Still not out of it but need to get that run going

 

[masai tu]

Any sight of Rayner yet?

Busy combing his hair into place.

*** Rayner is talented, application is lacking.

 

[dean33]

Nope

Swans primed this year, think they’ll win.
