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

 

[azyboy]

Had a crack- brissy a bit too good. Good game.
Go brissy next week.

Yep

 

[hawkman]

Ryan Lester had a game I must say

BOG

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Was shocked to see Henry with 4 goals and 15 touches. King of the cheapie.

 

[NetworkNerd]

I'll delete my account if Geelong win this

Glad with the result?

 

[Masotiger]

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

If he kick this we win LOL....

 

[Cyclops]

Superb by the Lions. Balls of steel and skills to match.

Both sides showed brilliance and toughness, both delivered superb efgorts despite injuries.

Especially happy to see Ollie Henry sticking in goals when it was white hot, quality kid.

That Ashhcroft is pure gold, apparently theres another on the way.

I thought the umps didn't affect the result, the Cats dont seem to get every possible free paid, but Brisbane aren't one of the "favoured" ones.

 

[RWnBluey]

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

McRae 67%
Hardwick 63%
Clarko 62%
Longmire 54%
Bevo 54%
Fagan 50%
Goodwin 50%
Scott 46%
Hinkley 43%

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Fagan has a better finals record than Chris Scott

2 flags to 0 says he doesn't.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Longmire 54%
Bevo 54%
McRae 67%
Hinkley 43%
Fagan 50%
Hardwick 63%
Goodwin 50%
Clarko 62%

Yeah that's fair

 

[SeaOfFire]

2:45 in the last, Geelong were in front....

Not GWS.....

Not Carlton.....

Geelong.

And we defeated them.

Rockn'roll

 

[dean33]

hope they wear the same one they did against the Giants, I like it

The old bears jumper? Horrible. Go with either tonight’s Fitzroy one or make it real state of origin and get the maroon happening.

 

[RCAB]

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

You're taking it well

 

[LeakyValve]

Going to watch the Lionesses at Mineral Resources Open Mine Pit tomorrow.
Should drape my old Fitzroy jumper over the fence.
Looks like we will be holding two flags at once.

 

[RCAB]

Gee a lot of cocky Lions supporters here tonight. Sydney weren't acting like this last night

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

Dangerfield legit should have sat out the first 4 weeks of 2021 season for what he did to Vlastuin in 20 granny. Good player and all but also a real sniper

 

[Mr Meow]

The better side won.

We has a crack but had one of those games where our weaknesses were exposed and our strengths blunted just enough for Brisbane to land the killer blows.

Congrats to the Lions. Go well in the grand final - continuing to knock on the door while improving deserves serious credit.

For the Cats - thereabouts but never felt like a premiership team. Similar to a number of years under Scott. Our bottom 5 were comfortably worse than Brisbane's and their clutch players almost all delivered.

Nah dude.

I get the banter pre-game....

"never felt like a premiership team..."

Then why the **** were you in a PF?

high five baby, peace.

 

[azyboy]

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.

Let’s pick on the young kid. Really?
Has had a wonderful season.

Yep, consensus is he’s the best kid in the draft too

 

[Bunnings]

He tried nothing and he was all out of ideas.

I wish we lost in a semi than a prelim, I would be so stoked with that

 

[Yellow Feathers]

How many first round draft picks did each team have?

I don’t agree with that. And that’s not bias and you can accuse me of that all you like but it never will be.

The suspension side of things? Well you can argue that all you want and I won’t begrudge you your right to do so. I do t really agree with you but I get your point of view so fair enough.

The idea that he’s a ‘sniper’ for doing that? That’s garbage mate and I think if you take the yellow and black glasses off for five seconds you’ll realise that. It’s a split second game and with you have someone coming at you you raise hands, arms, forearms, shoulders, knees, whatever: it happens.

People who headbutt people, people who punch people: they’re snipers.

People who in the contest for a ball or in the act of trying to break a tackle commit acts that transgress rules might earn a suspension and that’s fine, but it doesn’t make them a sniper

I get people not liking Dangerfield. But he’s not a ‘dirty player’

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Who had Geelong top 4 genius? Did you?

Your comment literally said geelong were expected to be bottom 4, "genius"
Not expecting them to be top 4 does not mean people expect them to be bottom 4

 

[Giant Pete]

Cats very shallow in the midfield.

 

[MisterMarcus]

BTW shout out to those opposition fans who came storming onto our board posting injury trolling and other offensive crap.

Bizarre how rent-free we live in supporters of certain clubs' heads....
