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

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Less surprising now

You were the one surprised, not me

 

[fnerd]

Well, we beat you in Perth when your season was on the line. That was good for a bit of a giggle anyway wasn’t it.

And as it turns out didn’t mean much in the scheme of things

 

[rei154]

Big O might be the hard luck story of the season if Bris win it next week.
Bloody tough man.

Lester has been getting more attention recently from the wider sporting community, but jeez his game tonight was incredible.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

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.

Pretty sure we don't get a choice hey

In any case we would still have chosen the mcg so it's a moot point

 

[Caesarr]

Dunkley is a remarkable footballer.

 

[PhatBoy]

And as it turns out didn’t mean much in the scheme of things

Certainly didn’t

I’m sure he will keep trading being competitive for individual honours for team respect. I bet he loves it

 

[CatToTheFuture]

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

If it's so bad maybe go rank it against other coaches to tell us how bad

 

[Black Saab]

He’d still be better than anyone to pull on navy blue since Greg Williams though, so that’s comforting.

Why not just pick Bryce Gibbs again. Or Marc Murphy. Maybe they’ll become him in an alternate universe

Danger doesn't win finals. Great player but I'd say Cameron is more lethal.

 

[SeaOfFire]

Just like I told ya.

/peace

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Pretty incredible performance from the Lions. Took all the risks and flipped the game.

 

[kranky al]

Bloody mint game

Go brions!!!

 

[PhatBoy]

Danger doesn't win finals. Great player but I'd say Cameron is more lethal.

He’s won a Gary Ayres Medal and if you actually look through his record, it’s legitimately good. I understand as a Tigers fan why you wouldn’t think this because in 3 crucial finals against us, when he was our main man, we didn’t win: so fair enough, he carries that stigma. I don’t begrudge that opinion. But invariably since he joined us when we win finals he has been at the heart of it, often when we lose them he has still played quite well. And he’s absolutely never gone missing.

Re. Cameron I don’t necessarily disagree as I think it’s harder to counter a gun forward like he is - realistically he is probably the next closest thing to Franklin from the last 20 years in that he is a key forward who also happens to be a freak athlete so if he’s on, you just can’t stop him so he will simply win you games and there’s nothing you can do about it. Dangerfield is a midfielder and there are things you can do to limit the damage he can inflict

Now we know he won't win it. You jinx us every time. Just shut up please.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Our players should be forced to watch disgraceful hawthorn apologists Dunstall and that horrible cnt Andrew Gaze

So did Cats win by 50 ?

didn’t coach tonight? I heard he was a tactical mastermind but all I saw was us opening up the corridor for the last hour of the game

I have to say Brisbane were genuinely brilliant. Thought they'd fall apart after Oz went down but they kept on truckin'. Lohmann is a superstar. Andrews brilliant as always. Thought we'd get over them but we just couldn't stay composed

Hope brissy go all the way this year

 

[SSSSSS]

How come Chris Scott didn’t coach tonight? I heard he was a tactical mastermind but all I saw was us opening up the corridor for the last hour of the game

He tried nothing and he was all out of ideas.

 

[Bunnings]

All those premierships grandpa ***’s has

 

[azyboy]

You’ve all been mouthing off all week how you’d take care of the lions and win another flag. Don’t start changing your tune now you lost.

It’s an internet forum. ‘You’ve all’ is probably half a dozen 15 year olds. I don’t know any people who’ve supported Geelong through the 80s and 90s getting carried away. Some of us are just grateful for the success we’ve had. And we weren’t far away again. But Lions too good when it mattered. I can live with that.

Selfless game from Ollie Dempsey keeping the seagulls company while Zac Bailey ran riot through the corridor in the 3rd.

Downhill skiers hurt you in finals.
