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

[MisterMarcus]

It just wouldn't be a Geelong post-game thread without 'neutral' supporters getting more pissy and bitchy than fans of the team we actually beat.

 

[demondavey]

That game really takes the edge off tomorrow night. Feels like we are playing for second.

Brisbane aren’t great. It’s like WC smashing Melbourne in the 18 PF, Pies were all over WC early and pretty much in it up until the last minute.

Sydney & Collingwood are a big step up from Brisbane.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Hawkins one of my fave

 

[Stax on the mill]

If Sydney win it at least we won't have to hear about it

If Pies won the supporters would behave with our customary grace and humility.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Great for cats fans but what an awful product for the AFL, was at the game, was quieter than an average H&A game, then people were spewing out of the ground (even cats fans!) just after halftime

 

[La Dispute]

Think he means the way Collingwood plays is more of a threat then Sydney

As good as the Swans are the Cats match up pretty well across the ground. The Swans can get them with ball movement but Collingwood are Richmond 2.0 which has troubled Geelong more then anyone over the past 5 years.

Pies are chaos with a great backline
The Swans are more methodical with a brilliant team ethos across the whole field. Will be a fascinating granny regardless!

Potentially, I can see the advantage of already having played them in the finals.

Just feel if the Pies are slightly off then Geelong could really open them up.

Going out for a half time durry happens at every game

 

[RichLeMonde]

This!! Seriously I get the game, but can we still call the play a bit. They might as well have just crossed over to that show with Adam Cooney.

Not many people back me up on this, but when Bruce MacAvaney retired I said we wouldn’t realise until much later how lucky we’d been to have a commentator who built up such a sense of occasion for big games, like prelims. The current commentators fail completely to do that.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

Nah. Don’t be fooled by the score line. Brisbane were absolutely abysmal. The Cats were excellent but they’re beatable.

Agreed

2017 he was pretty damm good and made the AA squad.

He's not a dud just dosent care that's his problem.

There have been a lot of spud footballers that have jagged an AA over the journey, look at Campbell Brown.

Daniher has amazing physical attributes. He also has a very low footy iQ

Has a great leap, but awful timing.

Has a booming kick, but can’t kick straight.

He’s all hat , no cattle.

I’m so glad Dud-oro knocked back our ridiculous offer of two first rounders for this spud.

 

[JM#1]

No, it was disputed by everyone who responded, you clown
You argue without logic and like a 10 year old, nah so there!
Oh, sorry, same Pies fan

I sound like the 10 year old? Anyhow, enjoy the win mate.

Haha if pies win I expect some fans to get arrested

The cbd will be a dangerous place for a natural fan if Pies win the flag

 

[Wojcinski]

You translate someone calling you illiterate to a massive salt laden melt?

Not sure what alternate reality you're living in. In any case stop quoting me now donkey

lol because all you can do is call me illiterate m8, you've got nothing else. Huge melt, quite embarrassing actually

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Think I'm finally convinced, that was pretty sharp. Holmes is a disappointing loss though, hard to replace that pace.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Ba

If it's Collingwood they're a huge chance. We'll brain Sydney..

Based on what evidence

 

[kozi]

lol because all you can do is call me illiterate m8, you've got nothing else. Huge melt, quite embarrassing actually

Seek help

 

[ForeverHardcore]

Sydney's record against us is very good. So not sure who is better to play against

Either way you’re in a great position to watch them fight it out now. Sit back and enjoy the ride mate Best feeling ever when your team makes the gf and you can relax and watch the other prelim

 

[Hoops]

Geelong fans: Selwood is nothing like Ginnivan.....

I'm glad you see it too

 

[Ginnieboy]

Went in too tall should never have brought Daniher back

Wouldn’t have mattered either way, Cats schooled them, went in dry! but going forward they really need more from Hipwood and Daniher, McStay leaving will only make things worse as he’s the one who does work without the ball.

One average game out of 7 so far this finals series I think the AFL don't have much to worry about

No, I made a mistake, logic of an 8yo. Nah na na na na na!

Pies definitely can
But they played nearly perfectly that qualifying final
Geelong weren’t at their best and still got the job done. Getting that win would be huge for their confidence and belief.

Personally I think the swans are a better chance as they have more weapons then Collingwood. But we’ll see tomorrow

Genuine 50/50 with the story the pies are building in 2022

Agreed, we really were spoiled in the 90s early 2000s with prime Bruce and Sandy, even committi who I always found overated shits all over the current mob. The newcomer Jason Bennett is probably the best of the lot of them

 

[PetterdHoisted]

If we judge by the numbers of fans leaving the ground in the 3rd Q, no one was watching on telly anyway (bar cats fans!)

I’m waiting for the apology for your nonsense last week, when I told you
the Lions had played their grand final and were certain to fall over this week.
