Autopsy AFL 2024 Preliminary Final - Swans v Port Fri Sept 20th 7:40pm EST (SCG)

How long has he had "banged-up" ribs for?
His finals record is pathetic. Keep this up and the Leon Davis medal is gonna have a new name.

In 4 of his last 5 finals he’s had 29, 25, 17 and 20 touches. In the last 2 of this finals he’s played with broken ribs and the game in between he was hospitalised having broken his ribs IN the game. Not really sure he’s the ‘squib’ you’re making him out to be.

His first two finals he had just turned 20 that week so I wouldn’t exactly be putting too much stock in how poor his numbers were then, either.

Look, I get it. Ken has been there a LONG time so probably time for a fresh voice.

But really, the Power only have 2 good forwards; Georgiadis and Rioli. How are they expected to kick winning scores?

Amazing they’ve made it this far.

Find a way. That’s the real art of coaching.

Had the run of the game early, but couldn't convert. Doesn't explain the lack of pressure for the bulk of the match.

And folks claiming Ginnivan was the reason Port were motivated up last week .... and Grand Final berth wasn't a reason to turn up this week?

You have to laugh at how fans and media attribute a win or loss to one thing. Amateurs.

It was the most biased umpiring of all time.

If so I was riding the Bulldogs so hard I didn't notice.

True but could say the same about the Swans or Pies last year. Maybe key tall position forwards aren't as important as they used to be.

Don't worry about it. Almost everyone was blinded by the romance of the underdogs winning it. Typically people need around 5-10 years and have their fairytale goggles removed to look at it objectively.

The internet has turbocharged the tendency of sports fans to behave more like kids at a pantomime.

Having visited Sydney multiple times, It's over rated.

You are kidding right? Its great for a visit/holiday.

In 4 of his last 5 finals he’s had 29, 25, 17 and 20 touches.

Averaged 27 disposals this season. So four of the last five finals, he's failed to reach his usual output.
IE: when the heat is on, the Butters MELTS (that's a pun fyi).

Weak, Squib, Betwetting, use whatever term you like.

I couldn't care about Pakenham. I don't live there

It was the most biased umpiring of all time.

It was worse in the Prelim though against GWS and we were never beating them in 2016 I think they were the ones robbed tbh

 

[Frank Grimes]

The last two runner ups are in the Grand Final. They both will be out go wanting redemption.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

We'll see!

Hate to say I told you so....but...

He’s averaging under 17 d in 8 finals and if people say he played fwd for some his kicked 1 goal in 8 finals

I'm glad to be wrong another Cats v Swans grand final would have been as much fun as getting swooped and pecked by a magpie
