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

[AlwaysHawks15]

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.

They haven't played Sydney since early in the year the Buddy 1000th goal game. Alot has changed since than but I feel Sydney is the best equipped to beat Geelong as they are well balanced across the ground and don't rely on their talls to win them the game. They have some of the better mid sized/smalls in the game like Heeney and Papley and Haywood has gone up a level this year as well. Their midfield is at least on a par with Geelong as well IMO. Warner, Mills and Co. Geelong would know it's certainly not going to be easy either way. Both teams left are more than capable.

 

[FRUMPY]

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

Drew Morphett, Peter Landy, Ian Robertson etc

Were brilliant and let the game/crowd entertain you

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

Huge out, was our BOG in the 1st half imo.

 

[Hoops]

Geelong Tackles 31 , HTB paid 6
Brisbane Tackles 32, HTB paid 1

Stat for free from push in the back from tackles. Brisbane at least 4. 0 for Geelong. ITS CORRUPT I TELLS YA!

 

[JoondalupJ]

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!)

Brisbane beat themselves playing that stupid boundary line game kick out ball kicked back again beaten in the air

no risks taken with the down centre attack
which is the closest way to goal

Pathetic bad playing.
Chris Fagan changed nothing from the boundary!

Gave up!

 

[Back One Out]

"There's no one that can match the Cats.
Their style is impetuous; their defense is impregnable.
They're just ferocious. They want your heart.
They want to eat your children.
Praise be to Allah."

(I've repurposed a famous Mike Tyson quote)

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Geelong ran over the ground, way too quick and slick. They stretch the ground so well and know where eachother are.

They make the MCG seem bigger than what it actually is. They are extremely well drilled.

Will be very hard to stop for whoever faces them.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

They wont get smashed... Pies have pretty good defensive structure... Swans didn't smash melbourne, but Brisbane beat them... Pies are a huge chance!

Brisbane beat us the week before Gold Coast beat us back in May

 

[Corn Cobbers]

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.

It'll be a long wait

Not my fault they played like a bunch of lepers

 

[dirknowitzki]

It'll be a long wait

Not my fault they played like a bunch of lepers

Best of luck tommorow.

 

[Toffee Lion]

I almost feel like apologising for my teams performance tonight.

Total letdown for the neutrals and Lions fans. Cats far too good and deserve all the plaudits.

I hope we can bounce back

 

[The Casey Cat]

It'll be a long wait

Not my fault they played like a bunch of lepers

Not our fault your incapable of giving Geelong any credit and only want to spout biased, ignorant rubbish about us either.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Best of luck tommorow.

Cheers, we'll need it!

Think we blew our flag chances in the QF

 

[Chaisa]

Bennett doesn't really count as a newcomber, was on Fox Footy back in the 2000's.

Why would anyone apologize to you? You're a terrible poster.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

*"You're" not "your".

In any case it's "you were" as I just gave them credit, so stick it.

I think Collingwood are primed and ready , I feel Geelong beat a done over team that had no structure at all, and Geelong can be hammered if they are winning the air, Collingwood will kill that! Brisbane just kicked to a team mate with two cats 0n him, or gave off hospital handball's that murdered team mates.
Swans are very hard and bad if they get over Collingwood Geelong will need everything but much more than they had tonight against nobody really

 

[Pie eyed]

Brisbane are going to need counselling after that performance.
Not even a whimper.
Those losses can scar a team.

 

[Hoops]

From FB to FF with three holding frees, is that a first?

Shuuuutuuuuup. That's not the BigFooty narrative.

Cats lost in the Prelim last year by 86 points and responded this season.

Guess time will tell how the Lions respond next year.

 

[Chinacats]

Bit of a soft kill that one for the cats! Lions were cooked.

Doesn't mean they can't win .
But it won't be anything like tonight.
This is the last shot for a while for Geelong.
So if they make it, they can be a 4 time premiership team like the mighty Hawks are for 22 years of the 21st century
Then it's sleep tight for a few years .

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

You know what? Collingwood would of damned earnt it if they can beat us at home doing it the hard and long way.

Would be worthy of a GF spot.

I reckon even the Dockers could have put up a better fight than that

Shocking

Richmond would of to.
