Autopsy AFL 2024 Second Elimination Final - Dogs v Hawks Fri Sept 6th 7:40pm EST (MCG) - Teams in OP

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Nice of the AFL to chop up the ground with the women’s game before the main game….

 

[MJG14]

The rain has been pretty unremarkable where I am. A little bit more than drizzle but not significant, can't hear it hit the roof.

 

[Boristown]

Barely a dribble of rain over the MCG at this point and not much more coming.

 

[ep2018]

Wouldn't mind seeing the Hawks have a good run but for the sake of what we get for Barrass, I hope they lose tonight.

I think the dogs collective finals experience should get them over the line by a few goals.

I’ve got a horrible feeling that Hawthorn will go smack tonight

I think it will be a blowout either way.

Hawks have been fairly consistent as a team this season so it really boils down to.

Good Bulldogs show up- They win by 30+
Bad Bulldogs show up- They lose by 50+

Annoyed we haven’t had hourly updates tbh. Media asleep

Amazingly, if we get the 95k (ish) crowd some suggest it means that 3 of the 5 biggest crowds we've ever played in front of were Dogs vs Hawks games

Thinking the rematch will figure highly next year. Maybe gather round?

Hopefully we get a classic tonight and we get regular prime-time fixtures for the next few years

 

[Worm4]

I don't normally look forward to games, but I am looking forward to this one particularly because it's at the MCG. Think the hawks continue on their merry way

I would assume the other 2 are the 1954 and 2016 Grand Finals?

 

[Daka]

Rain gives Hawks the edge you would think.

Yup - 1961 is still our biggest crowd though, no OH&S in those days: 107,935

Hate to break it to you but it is Hawks supporters selling this out not Dogs fans!

 

[Rostos]

Over or Under 161 .5 points scored tonight?

Not raining now and looks like the rain has gone through

This might be game of the year.

Even still it's wet so it will be dewy.

. Have often said he gets more credit for "almost marks" more than any other player in the comp. Naturally Bulldogs fans lose their minds and claim I'm only saying it because of a semi final loss 3 years ago. But doesn't the impact that Darcy and JUH have had this year suggest that Naughton was never as good as advertised?
