Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 1 - Cats v Saints Sat March 16th 7:30pm AEDT (GMHBA)

[Freomaniac]

Looking forward to seeing the King v SDK matchup - and always good to watch Mitch Owens.

However it is rarely good to watch Ross Lyon football.

Given we didn't have a late finish to last year we should be raring to go. A loss and BF will be judgemental.

You, Gavin Excell and JackFlash need to accept and embrace Ross Lyon football. lol

I live in Adelaide, Its not Alcohol or Cigarettes as my drug of choice. I get High on Ross Lyon footy.

Ross Lyon football is my drug of choice lol

Just hard to tip against Geelong at home. We do lose games there, but we win most.

Yep that’s fair enough. Percentage play is always to tip you guys there.

Saints have alot of votes for the win in the poll. Surprising

[My Tilly]

Cats by 14 points.

 

[Lingsface]

Genuine question - will you win the contests though? Your midfield’s looking a little thin, especially now with no Guthrie. Bowes not named either. Big ask going up against Steele and Crouch. Marshall comfortably has Stanley covered as well.

Think a lot of people are sleeping on the Saints a little in this game.

I just think around the ground we have a little more strength for a contested game. But it’s going to be a hard task.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Sinclair officially out.

He'll be in next week though right? Great player.

Saints have better contested players rolling through for sure, their forward line isn't half bad either. It's a risk. I think with our forwards though we'll be able to make opportunities count.

10 goal win or 10 goal loss would be completely unsurprising

Should be, he is back in full training already, seems they just want him to build his conditioning.

Almost certainly. We have a five day break going into the Collingwood game so I assume we're getting him ready for that.

You guys just extended Longmuir so it'll be at least two years now until you can get him back!

Does SDK usually win against King? I feel like he would.

10 goal loss definitely would be surprising

21 defeats of 60+ in the 80 years at Kardinia Park
Only 3 in the AFL era.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Think we have a speed edge

We have played well in parts in recent years down at the Cattery ... just need to put a decent 4 quarters together

Good chance to win this one

True, I guess a 3 goal loss for us is what others feel at a 10 goal loss

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Geelong have better forwards and defenders in general but one of the weakest mids in the comp. If we can break even in the center we'll win, otherwise Saints win.

I actual think we can lose the middle and still win, it just can't be unpressured entries.

They would both be surprising results.

The margin being within 3 or 4 goals either way would be completely unsurprising.

If you said 100 points either way you would really get my attention.

Noted for next time

You're underrating our backline which is quality even though we're missing Sinclair.

Is he? He didn't even mention your backline.
Just that he thinks ours is better, that doesn't mean he necessarily thinks St.K is shit.
