Autopsy AFL 2024 Second Qualifying Final - Port v Cats Thurs Sept 5th 7:40pm EST/7:10pm CST (AO) - Teams up

[GoldbergsGold]

Port to win this one and it could be over by half time. I think Geelong might go out in straight sets.

I think Port's bigger test will be the Prelim.

I don't think it helped with their last game they had the easiest time with West Coast, could make them a bit rusty for pressuring. Port had to really arm wrestle against teams the last few weeks, could set them up better.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

I think the winner here makes the GF, I think we're well overdue. Port by 23

My prediction is Port play Hawthorn in the preliminary final, and it could go either way there.

Nah West Coast were elite in the second half.

Cats are primed to go.

Elite? The fact they fought back with the team and more specifically defence, they had shows Geelong aren't all that fantastic. Plus being at the Cattery helps them especially the umpires. Seriously...

Not at all, barely cut back the margin, even with Geelong putting the cue in the rack, early. Geelong didn't end the game with manic pressuring.

Nah the Eagles were first rate after the half time talk.

Cats absolutely bloody cherry ripe.

Always first on the nuffies playbook: start your whinging before the first bounce. Proud of you bud.

Only won the third quarter, but the point is Geelong weren't playing a brutal game, it could make them rusty in this game.

Some of the toughest stuff Geelong have faced all year in that second half.

You would not believe how much it sharpened the lads up for finals football.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Sense an upset here.

Sense an upset here.

You're over thinking it. Look at the midfields

 

[Arkangel]

My prediction is Port play Hawthorn in the preliminary final, and it could go either way there.

This is impossible given the side of the draw each team is in. In preliminary final week, the winner of this QF will play the winner of the semi-final featuring Brisbane or Carlton vs. Sydney or GWS. In semi-final week, the loser of this QF will play the winner of Dogs vs. Hawks.

Yep. Geelong have beaten nobody decent in 2 months

Pretty sure with the positions and finals structure, it’s impossible for Port v Hawks to meet in a prelim.

Rubbish. This is where you get punished for beating finals contenders. If Geelong lost to Freo or Collingwood, those teams would be playing finals instead of barely missing out. Those and Hawthorn are the 3 decent teams Geelong have beaten within the last 8 games.

So the Corn has said in a matter of 24 hours this week, Geelong has a weak midfield, weak ruck and Tom Stewart is mentally weak. How do you finish 3rd with all this “weakness”, meanwhile the vice captain of his team gets a fine every week for sooking it up. I could give 119 reasons why he is wrong, but I won’t bother.

 

[janty]

Would it be funnier if Port lost tonight or in 2 weeks time?

 

[Wojcinski]

Would it be funnier if Port lost tonight or in 2 weeks time?

Why not both?

 

[Drunk_off_R0zee]

Would it be funnier if Port lost tonight or in 2 weeks time?

Will it be funny when Carlton beat you Saturday night?

[raskolnikov]

I hate Geelong but the Port board will be great for the melts if they lose.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Definitely tonight. At least losing to a Sydney team is an honourable loss

 

[janty]

Will it be funny when Carlton beat you Saturday night?

Yep.

 

[Bunnings]

100%

On both parts potentially,and maybe I fell into the Corn’s trap (probably not for the first time.
I have nothing against port or their fans, I fully expect a tough match for Cats, I think bookies have it right, and if Port win they are every chance of holding the cup and that’s fine if my team is out.
