Autopsy AFL 2024 Preliminary Final - Cats v Lions Sat Sept 21st 5:15pm EST (MCG)

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

This is a thread about the game last night.

Yep, hence why when you said a coach is having a sook (which I do agree with), this came straight to my mind.
Stones and glass houses right?

Keep that same energy

Way to avoid the question, champ.

 

[hawkman]

yeah dempsey hardly looks like a finals player. Kai though will be the real rising star of 2024

Would argue another small forward that starred in finals is the real rising star

 

[PhatBoy]

Was this for real?? Scott mentioned it with a bit of don’t take it as an excuse but it happened sort of comment.

Haven’t really thought to read much into it tho as what difference does it really make now if it did or didn’t

It was already known that Holmes trained away from the team and that King collapsed, and that Holmes got injured in the game - and you can see the medical staff assisting Holmes on the sideline had facemasks on; the story alludes to the fact that there were staff wearing masks due to a Covid issue. The writer of the story makes more excuses than anyone from the club, don’t fall for what the Tigers idiot that posted the Twitter link is trying to get you to think.

Rising Star is a regular season award…

I’m not talking about the award, I’m talking about rising stars

Pies supporters saying Scott is a sook, last week it was Mitchell.

Meanwhile their coach can't ****ing work out how to play the best player in the game in his right position

Sooked about Ginnivan and then went and got Schultz. Genius

Cries about umpiring when they were gifted wins from umpires this year

I suspect much more sooking from Fly in 2025 when they fail to make the finals for a second season in a row. I expect Freo and Saints will go past them.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

Yep, so what you are saying is that, in your eyes, only Victorian teams count. And this is precisely why the rest of the country can't stand you Victorians. Go the interstate GF and may there be many more to come!

Not exactly. Not all the Victorian teams count.

Yeah I don’t get that article connecting flu with Holmes hamstring, weird connection

During the press conference Chris Scott wasn't making excuses. He did say that Brisbane Lions were too good (words to that effect).

I guess the media like to turn nothing into something and create "click bait"...they thrive on anything to get attention.

Chris Scott does love the "I'm not making excuses but" line

Cant pick any holes in any of this

so, you want something like . . . a four to six team comp? Feel free.

Whether there was flu or not, it was evident after half time Geelong looked lethargic.

Interestingly that Fagan made excuses for Geelong, saying that playing West Coast at home and Port two weeks ago (with the bye) wasn't ideal preparation for Scott, and felt their Brisbane's lead up made them more match conditioned than Geelong.

no all the teams can stay - but 3/4 of them are just padding

nope that blond lion is the star we'll be talking about in the future

Noooo bro you are just deflecting, like Scotty boy.

We all know that you're not performing at all if you're sick, not fine for 1 half cooked the next. I smell fake news from Geelong

 

[Aaron Reed]

Good for you…Sydney are a great club, coached by one of my favourite coaches of all time…Brisbane and Sydney fans have a lot of respect for each other as we both cop the same disadvantages and disrespect by the Melbourne Football Mafia

I’m just not sure why you’d think Brisbane fans would care what you think or do

Nope, you tried valiantly but as hard as you tried you still couldn’t convince me. Sorry. Go Swans.

 

[TW Sherrin]

You might want to put your dentures in the next time you try to talk

It’s not my job to explain why you’re wrong…educate yourself

Hipwood gets a fine instead of a few weeks..

that vicbias again.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Brisbane lost their ruckman early in the third and we're talking about Geelongs issues?

 

[bungalow_bill]

There have been many classic prelims. This is a beauty but I've seen many its equal as a Collingwood fan going back to the late 60's.

I haven't seen it but I'm sure '99 (Dons/Blues) was a ripper.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Reminds me of what Scott said at 3qtr time of the 22 grand final.

He said to the boys “ don’t rub it in their faces”.

That is the sort of humble respectful club geelong is and why we have been so successful for a long time.

That is the difference between a club like Richmond who in between an eventual premiership sits down the ladder being circled as guaranteed wins for a decade or Brisbane who bombed out for a good 15 years.

Teams come and go, but geelong has built an incredible community and culture within its four walls that attracts elite figures in and off field.

And delusional supporters by the looks of it.

It hurts you doesn't it? Watson is already better than Dempsey and he's two years younger.
