Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 19 - Lions v Swans Sun July 21st 1:10pm AEST (Gabba)

[TW Sherrin]

Sydney faltering at the wrong time of year.

 

[Osho]

Nice win Lions. Good come back, showed some gin and tonic in the end.

Shall we see some more gutted, tragic, distraught vids, Heeney-esque, this week on SM from Swans, or will they this time take it on the chin and not be so ... delicate?

 

[MJG14]

Fagan wearing a cap!

 

[Zevon]

Nah the genuinely didn't

Lions got lucky as, if not for injuries would have been flogged

Ah well, can’t win em all. I think it’s one of those rare games where both sides can take plenty out of it. We dominated for most of the game with a bunch of key players missing or hampered, they won a close one against a fellow contender.

Onwards and upwards.

 

[undefined]

Huge effort from Sydney being down 2 high-quality rotations for most of the game.

 

[JasRulz63]

HOLLOW WIN BRISBANE - Beat half a team on your home ground.

Imagine losing against a team with 5 ACLs, one player coming back from an ACL and injuries meaning some Irish guy from St Kilda is playing full back.

 

[voorhees]

cracking game..
well done Brizzy
season is fire with anyone to take the premiership

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Sydney faltering at the wrong time of year.

4 losses by less than a goal (5,1,2,2).

The swans are still playing incredible footy.

 

[Bald]

You can't be too mad if you're a Sydney supporter. Lost just 4 games for a collective 10 points.

Will be interesting to see how they deal with injuries now given they've been blessed until this point on that front in 2024.

 

[Harris Specter]

Nothing but class.

 

[ep2018]

Brisbane should be favourites to finish 2nd with this win. Might be a predictable finals series if Sydney and Brisbane both get two home finals.

 

[brutus76]

Neale lifted like the champ he is in the last

Suitcase was immense - prob got paid unders on his contract

 

[MEGABUCKS]

Brave by the swans, well done to the lions.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Suck that Sydney

Why?

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Sydney can’t win a close one? Concerning.

Imagine losing against a team with 5 ACLs, one player coming back from an ACL and injuries meaning some Irish guy from St Kilda is playing full back.

I don’t remember Brisbane having five players go down with ACL’s in this game.

 

[The King!]

Nothing but class.

Just being honest , Mills Rowbottom Mcinnerney come back, and we don't get 3 injuries during the game to key players, Heeney and Blakey hobbling.

Couldn't buy a htb and lost by 2

You need to be better than that to do much.

Enjoy the win but papered over a lot of cracks

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Corey Warner is a jet.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Sydney can’t win a close one? Concerning.

See you on the G. We know what will happen.

 

[voorhees]

McCluggage worth every cent

pure consistent gun
man does his job week in week out

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Suck that Sydney

lol basket case club over there.

 

[Stax on the mill]

I was barracking for Brisbane. But I don’t think the Swans lost anything from that result. Playing away, pretty warm day, down 2 players, and Hayward limited. Plus Brisbane had a lot more to play for.

Good match. Poorest game from Lachie Neale

If we're going literally, I don't remember half Sydney's team going down during the match either...

Jokes aside Sydney have nothing to worry about. Still comfortably the top team in the competition, and will still be favourites heading into September.

We were a lot better on GF day than you lol
