Autopsy AFL 2023 Grand Final - Pies vs Lions Sat Sept 30th 2:30pm EST (MCG)

[Algorithmic Hot Takes]

Biggest ever comeback in a grand final at 3/4 is 24 points in 1984. They’d want to be a bit closer I’d reckon.

Maybe, but it's all mental. They'll both be knackered at that stage with the heat, in this scenario.
The crowd starts "Coooollingwoood, Coooollingwoood", get a quick goal or two, and tired Lions could try and save it, which won't end well if 20 points up with 15 minutes to go...

[Nostradumbass]

May as well give Collingwood the cup now.

 

[Cmarsh]

Two best sides all year. Worthy grand finalists.

 

[_Mike_]

1 v 2,

Both Giants and Blues fell short after a good season.


Now it’s Collingwood’s to lose with the home ground advantage IMO

 

[Zevon]

Great matchup this one, nothing against either side and won't be at all surprised no matter which way it goes. Gun to my head, I reckon the Lions are ready.

 

[maskmcgee]

2007 repeat on the cards. Lions will come out asleep and be 5 goals down at quarter time, no road back.

 

[flamethrower]

Early tip - Collingwood by 60+. Nick Daicos for the Norm Smith.

 

[revo333]

Pies to win kicking 10 goals again.

I'm excited already...

 

[The King!]

Lions will win by 22

 

[juss]

Sadly I think this one will go to the Pies. Hoping for a close game to keep it interesting.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Australia will have the joy of watching a Collingwood training run on Grand Final day

Naicos gets the Norm

 

[The Prosecutor]

Feeling pretty good about the Lions tbh.

 

[largebus]

I think McStay is a bigger loss for the Pies than Rocca was in 2003.

Brisbane by 11. It won't be a blowout like 20 years ago.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Can't believe it's that time of year already. One game left, then that's it for another 6 months.

Hope it's a ripper and Lions get up.

 

[ep2018]

If Brisbane can get over their MCG demons they will win imo. If not this will be a fizzer unfortunately.

 

[bzparkes]

Brisbane to do to Collingwood what WCE did to them in '18 - Beat them 3 times in 1 season

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Brisbane 2003 premiers

Brisbane 2013 preseason premiers

Brisbane 2023 premiers?

 

[My Tilly]

Collingwood by 29 points with the biggest margin getting out to 46 points early in the game.

De Goey will win the Norm Smith Medal.

 

[Danw0w]

Brisbane's to lose. If this was played at a neutral ground (say Perth stadium) they would be favourites. I'd like to think they'd lift for a grand final despite it being at the MCG.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Lions to break Pie hearts again 3-0.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Brisbane's to lose. If this was played at a neutral ground (say Perth stadium) they would be favourites. I'd like to think they'd lift for a grand final despite it being at the MCG.

Would win for sure if it were 2020 again.

 

[kranky al]

Collingwood by 29 points with the biggest margin getting out to 46 points early in the game.

De Goey will win the Norm Smith Medal.

If he plays like he did last night!!

Absolute beast mode.

 

[Danw0w]

Would win for sure if it were 2020 again.

Yeah they are something else at the Gabba at the moment. No other side would've won with ease like they did tonight after that start.

 

[Jibroni]

Brisbane to make it 3-0

 

[demondavey]

Will be boring as all hell with yet another Victorian team defeating a non competitive interstate team.

When’s the first test?
