Autopsy AFL 2023 Second Preliminary Final - Lions v Blues Sat Sept 23rd 5:15pm EST (Gabba)

[BringFevBack2021]

Everybody knows Carlton fans are the worst when up and about.

Yes even worse than the Richmond bandwagoners.

Let us all rejoice.

You aren’t wrong, but after having nothing to celebrate who can blame us

Full credit to the Lions and Pies. Best two teams all year and deservedly play in the biggest game of all next week.

Great finals series too, with Carlton and Collingwood fighting tight wins, the Giants and Carlton coming from the abyss to play in a prelim and the Lions playing 7 beautiful quarters of football of the 8 they’ve played so far.

Will be interesting to watch the cost of Brisbane to Melbourne flights now.

Qantas being the caring type won't price gouge.

Surely......

 

[Fadge]

Dear me the Brownlow has lost its shine. Two years in a row it's been won by a fraud that hears footsteps in tough games.
Let's hope a proper tough guy wins it this year and restores the pride in the Charlie

Harsh on Cripps. Amazing effort to be out there.

Have you ever tried to play footy with cracked ribs?

 

[JyeDye]

Well done Lions. Mature team to come back like that after a shaky start.

cripps did it for atleast an entire year at one point

 

[bzparkes]

Will get a tougher draw unless the VFL play games.

Well, after looking at the draws Richmond/Geelong received after winning flags, it's probably likely.

He’s just preempting someone he doesn’t like winning the Charlie so he can come back to this thread and we can all clap at how clever he is

 

[Big Sauce 21]

The commentary was unbearable. It will only get worst next week with buffoon Taylor blatantly barracking for the pies

 

[Fadge]

cripps did it for atleast an entire year at one point

That was his back.

Absolute respect for him. He's a gun.

 

[Thrawn]

I am not really all that upset, said from the beginning that beating Brisbane up there was a bridge too far. Even with a great start, they were a lot fresher and at the end of the day, the better team on the day and throughout the year. Still a very good year considering where we came from.

[PetterdHoisted]

lots of 'we did really well to get there' on here and in the media

I really hope Vozzy, behind doors, is saying - Terry Wallace style - 'I'll spew' if any player is patting themselves on the back.

The effort after 1Q-time was pretty poor.

Not sure you can say anything derogatory about the Bont. The 2023 Brownlow is his.

 

[Fadge]

How about having multiple cracked ribs and spending 3 days in hospital prior to the grand final, then not shitting your pants twice in a quarter?

It's 2023 now. Get with the program.

 

[bato]

I thought the crowd were gonna win it for the home side Carlton

 

[bzparkes]

It's 2023 now. Get with the program.

Well then he shouldn't have played. Complete liability.

 

[Fadge]

Well then he shouldn't have played. Complete liability.

He did kick two goals to maintain a flicker of hope.

Agree he wasn't outstanding, but not sure the 24th player would have been the difference.

I hate champagne though!

 

[trossa]

Brisbane too strong, too smart and too clean in the end. Lifted in the moments that mattered most. Hope the Blues can build on this for 2024.

Hope Brisbane can bring their brand of footy to the G next weekend.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

So, Voss hasn't won a Prelim at the Gabba in 22yrs they reckon.

 

[JyeDye]

Enjoyed the crowd as well. Was a real battle in the first half each fanbase trying to get over the top of the other.

 

[NeverEddie]

I know we all love to whinge about umpires, but come on guys, theres 4 of them, off course they are all going to interperut the same incident 4 different ways. No diff to people on here.

On SM-N986B using BigFooty.com mobile app

if four umpires can interpret the same incident four different ways . . .what does that tell you about the quality of the rules?

 

[carlton_99]

Better team won on the day and the Lions deserve to be in a GF. But none of those umpires are umpiring next week off that performance - ghastly stuff

 

[RandomPest]

Imagine being the coleman medalist for the season and then getting toweled up, in a must win game, by a bloke who spent 90% of the season in the VFL.

 

[YeoShuey]

I think Stevic and Findlay will get there. They seem to be the favourites.

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

Seriously Brisbane. How many chances do you want to make a GF. Hopefully someone will quote this later with a "This aged well".
