Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 22 - Lions v GWS Sat Aug 10th 1:45pm AEST (Gabba)

[RaZoRBlad3]

Go giants!

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Is GWS’s accuracy going to be sustainable in finals?

Are they going to win consistent finals kicking 5 behinds a game like they’ve done in a number of games recently?

Did they win?

 

[The 747]

Time for the best theme song in the AFL once again:

 

[Toffee Lion]

Turning a 30 point deficit into an 18 point win is about a lot more than just luck, but yeah you shouldn't have left the door ajar for them.

30 point deficit was wiped 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter. Wasn't exactly some kind of epic comeback.

Giants played some amazing patches of football but we had their measure all day but couldn't finish some of the easiest set shots.

Yes.

I don't understand the bookmaker odds.

Brisbane odds on favorite, Bulldogs getting all the love. Port literallky destroyed Sydney and being ignored.

We've all seen Port play finals

 

[MickG88]

I guess you haven't been watching the whole game. We've missed multiple shots directly in front, don't get me wrong that's on us but it's also just highlighting that we've lost this more than they've won it.

What a sook comment.

 

[My Tilly]

Lmao 13.4

I'd love to play GWS again in the finals, won't happen again.

Giants will smack you by 6 goals if you play them again.
Missing the best ruckman in the competition too and still beat you rather convincingly in the second half.

 

[Red Bull]

Cowardly performance from the Bears

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Port also ****ed up finals in 01,02, and 03 and we all know what happened in 04.

So basically nothing I said was wrong then. It's not "luck" to enact a 48 point turnaround, and you shouldn't have left the door open for them to do so.

Yeah it was a good win by your team.

 

[LeppaMessiah]

Brisbanes kicking for goal cost them this game, but it’s a credit to gws pressure.

I hope gws win the flag if Brisbane can’t. This game is a good test for both teams hoping to be at the pointy end.

 

[Miluxx]

Well done Giants. Took your chances.

 

[NSWCROW]

How about this season though

 

[Dees 87]

What a sook comment.

Even when the Lions lose on the scoreboard they never really lose apparently

 

[Toffee Lion]

+6 inside 50's
+16 hitouts
+2 clearances
+17 contested possessions
-13 turnovers
+26 marks
24 scoring shots to 17

Not every day you lose when dominated the majority of the game, incredibly deflating.

 

[Toffee Lion]

What a sook comment.

I am sooking, we should have won and didn't. Giants didn't beat us, we lost it.

I don't get it either.
Giants were that devastated after last years prelim loss where they seemingly had it in the bag. Not only have they alleviated the reliance on a couple of stars (notably Greene), they've found players so their depth is terrific.

No Kelly or Coniglio for long periods of the season and they still getting it done. Briggs another big omission today but it's their system which is working. No different to why they are consistent in finals.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Goal kicking still the most important stat

 

[Billy ray]

This is going to be the kind of game they kick 10.2 to our 8.14, isn't it.

Nostradamus here

 

[Delisted]

Connor Idun is so underappreciated.

I appreciate him

Could have..should have…would have..may have…but in the end Giants won away in a ground they lost 4 consecutive games in against the Premiership favourites who were on a 9 consecutive game winning streak

Wish i did that qtr time bet now
