Autopsy Saints v Cats - AFL Rd 23, 2024 - Sat August 17th 7:30pm - (Marvel)

[Mr Meow]

This is the Cats 1st game at Marvel Stadium this season

Saints by 6+ goals

We are the winningest team at Colonial Stadium that there is.

Chris Scott has 5 AFL premiership, Geelong has 4 AFL premierships.

And you talk about other people being wrong. Good grief.

 

[Xtreme]

Doesn't really scream blockbuster contest and it would seem AFL stores agree. Case in point - their display window had Geelong - St Kilda merch..... its already been replaced by....... Richmond and Hawthorn.

You think a team sitting 14th would be worthy of drawing attention?

 

[TheEscapeClub]

He has more than Geelong as well

Oh dear, you can't even get that right. Quit while you're behind.

Funny that you keep having a go at Ross Lyon but he's mates with your coach and they coach in a similar way. The only difference between Saints and Cats is Cats have a homefield advantage and can lure "surf coast" natives back home. What would Cats be without that? No Dangerfield, no Cameron, no Bruhn, no Bowes. I'm not going to talk about the father son luck that Geelong have expirenced, not something the club can control.

Here comes the pronoun gen Z with their usual lifetime logic of everything simplified down to unfair advantages as the reason someone or an entity achieves anything.

 

[Cam Payne]

Saints a sniff here. 15 points.

Not sure if shitpost or not

But I kinda do want to know what teams have the best winning record at docklands under its various name changes.

(Although do reckon geelong would probably be most of them)

TIL some Sainters believe (bizarrely) that we cheated the 2009 flag.
Okay then......

I can see why they hate us, comes from a completely irrational place.

All they needed was a good match up for Chappy or for Riewoldt to beat Taylor and they would've saluted. Spurning shots at goal and failing to kick a major in the last also didn't help.

has more premierships beside his name than st kilda does in there whole history.

Geelong by 22 points.

You are a deeply unpleasant person and no one likes you.

Cloudy with a chance of rain later in the afternoon, temperature around 17°.

Not saying that Geelong cheated, they had nothing to do with calling Hawkin's poster a goal. But it sure was lucky that your best player on the day was fit, all thanks to a medical procedure that was banned by WADA by the next year. But don't mind me, there is nothing to see here, I'm just bitter and irrational.

Groin and hamstring issues behind Chapman

Geelong's Paul Chapman says new physiotherapist Mike Snelling has cured his groin and hamstring problems

www.afl.com.au

"Surgery effectively took care of the groin issues, but he underwent contentious blood injection therapy ahead of the 2009 grand final, which allowed him to boot three goals and claim the Norm Smith Medal.

The procedure which saw some of his blood drained, spun to increase oxygen content and then injected back into the muscle has since been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency."

 

[Drunkcat]

Happy to see Saints fans don't hold any grudges and have moved on, Thomas was a great coach he would not even let his players enjoy a night flag.

 

[The 747]

Saints by 6+ goals

That would mean they have to kick at least seven goals, not sure about Ross wants that.

So? Golfers anchoring putters to their chin or belly didn’t suddenly cheat their way to titles won before the technique was banned, did they.

This has banana peel written all over it. Any sort of win would do.

I also had no idea quite how salty the Saints fans still are about 2009.

Funny how no Saints fan ever mentions getting gifted a goal for dissent against Milburn on the stroke of half time. Is it the only goal given for dissent in Grand final history? I can't think of another one and dissent was never paid back then.

This. I always smirk about the same thing. A gift if ever there was one.

This might be the most aesthetically pleasing guernsey match up of all time.

 

[Lingsface]

Top 4 guarantee if we win?

 

[Chuckie357]

Trash Howard, how can you be the size of a house and get shoved aside like a leaf?

 

[evolved2]

Top 4 guarantee if we win?

Yeah, then eagles at home next week. Could go top 2.

 

[Chuckie357]

Almost thought they would’ve gone with the red shorts? Perhaps the home guernsey with a red back will be next on the cards

 

[Chuckie357]

Settle down Guthrie, you only get a game due to who your brother is

 

[The 747]

One minute into the game and the Great Enemy of Football puts extra men in defence.
