Autopsy AFL 2022 First Preliminary Final - Cats v Lions Fri Sept 16th 7:50pm EST (MCG)

[Cool Kangas]

This is why the loss to Brisbane last week for my mob was so bad. It was Brisbane. They're such an average team. I haven't rated them for years. Tonight justifies it.

I think this comment it very unfair. They can’t be such an average team if they managed to get to a PF. Credit where credit’s due. Geelong are just very good. Brisbane played well last week. Give them some credit.

 

[hoss]

Brisbane 20 - 9 in the free kick count. At least they're winning something.

Surprised that Brisbane have just given up.

Really? This is like a grand final in the 90s, game over by half time because the losing team knows they are done

I love how the umps set the precedent early.

Lions lay 19 tackles in which a number could have been rewarded HTB and they end up with 0 HTB free kicks.

In Contrast, Geelong lay 16 tackles and get 4 free kicks, the umpires basically saying stick a tackle and we will give you the ball.

So we have a scenario where early in the game the umpires have set a precedent of:

Lions - you better move the ball immediately or we are going to ping you.

Geelong - You are immune to HTB

And we wonder why one team seems under pressure every time they get the ball?

And you should not have won the 1st week, stop blaming umpires.

Who leaves a prelim when their team is up 75? Shut the **** up BT

Someone tell Cameron the game started 2 hours ago.

He'll kick a bag next week me thinks

Daniher , Hipwood and McStay .
Has there ever been a worse combined performance by 3 tall forwards in a PF ?

Wait until you see Daniher, Hipwood and Fort!

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Zorko you are a disgrace!If you can’t get a kick get a tackle, if you can’t tackle ; shepherd.Do the hard yards for the team!!
I am now officially on the “ I hate Geelong “ bandwagon. Carn the Swannies or Pies!

 

[Mootsy]

The Lions spark plug filled with carbon tonight..

Down by 80, up 20‐9 in free kicks

Karma was always going to catch up with Zorko

Is he playing?

 

[hutchy31]

Brisbane are a talented team, with some flaws. Most teams are.

They’re coached fairly well. But not that well.

But they’re just not good enough. This is four years of poor performances in one or more finals.

Geelong have played their grand final tonight

2022 Premiers- The Winner is Geelong!

Was talking about Charlie. That was the laziest snap I'd seen in a while.

Essendon beat Collingwood by 133 in 1984

Was there, top of Sir Kenneth Luke stand.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

What a demolition

This could really scar Brisbane.

Pretty s**t prelim, Collingwood or Sydney will not allow Geelong this freedom.

Bingo. The qualifying final is a much better demonstration of what a Collingwood/Sydney vs. Geelong GF would look like.

Yep, for sure. It's been a pathetic effort by Brisbane. Really disappointing for all the Lions supporters (old Royboys) & neutrals looking forward to a hard fought battle and we get this rubbish.

 

[Lach72]

Nice of a Brisbane to give up after half time

 

[The Casey Cat]

Agreed but would like to think the game would be alive at 3qt.

As for Brisbane I think they won’t recover from this. How often does a club get spanked in a final and then go backwards the next year.

They have some issues but they could be ok. What did Geelong's hopes look like last year after a horrible PF belting as a much older side?

 

[mick500]

Well done cats fans. Geelong did what they had to do.. and then some. Enjoy the GF.
