Autopsy AFL 2025 Rd 23 - Swans v Cats - Sun August 17th 3:15pm AEST (S.C.G.)

[demondavey]

Win and home final is basically guaranteed. Lose and might be out of top 4 or need to travel to Adelaide or Queensland. Quite simple equation! Grundy out helps but swans mids and their slingshot style they rolled out vs lions-would worry Geelong as defending transition against better teams not so good. And swans one of the better teams in the last 2 months!
Cup on the line in this one!

Win and you’re likely first. Lose and I think you’re 4th.

Massive.

Still have a swans win by a close 15 points

 

[shaqsuns]

I know cats fans think this game is a danger game, but they will win by 10 goals

That'd be nice

Come on Swannies, do it for Australia.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

This is why I want to play Geelong in the finals. Few stars, all system. Break the system and they can’t compete with talent.

when there's comment about Blakey being down.

Way to prove you're not at the ground, fool.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Sydney killing the spread and run early, chaotic footy ruining Geelongs system at the moment.

But we are cheating so there’s that.

On a serious note we simply do not know how to cope with Sydney when they get a roll on up here

 

[Delisted]

Splendid football from the Swannies

 

[BigPond101]

Swans are certainties for top 4 next year

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Early days in this game but me thinks Geelong might be a bit fraudulent this year.

 

[ptrg]

Wasn’t there daylight on the goal line camera? Perhaps if they upgraded form GoPro 4s, we’d have more than 24fps in 720potatovision.

It’s insane my GoPro can output far better vision that their garbage - and it’s half a decade old

 

[Delisted]

Probably would of paid that a goal at GHMBA

 

[YeoShuey]

Not touched.

Yeah probably

 

[Chronz]

Disgusting free.

 

[The 747]

We are getting on top now. Neale has really come on this year.

 

[ptrg]

lol at Gerard Healy giving away the fact they’re not actually there commentating - as he couldn’t see a Swans wingman in the standard broadcast view (they have alternate fixed views to help assist, which he eventually worked out and found him).

 

[Toffee Lion]

Come on Cats, wake up. Need you guys to win ffs.

 

[Delisted]

Blitz ass probably hooks that to the near side on his home deck

We just kicked 4 goals in a row and then responded to the streak-breaker with another shot on goal with another set shot in the last 30 seconds of the quarter (albeit in the hands of the least reliable goal kicker south of the equator). Not sure how much more waking up you want us to do.

How would a hawthorn fan know from their two looks at the place in a quarter of a century?

More waking up PB, I demand more.

Not touched.

I feel like the score review system has mainly just stopped goal umpires making their own call on these touched/not touched ones and they make their call mainly on how passionate the defenders pleas are. If it's suitably convincing, they'll make the soft call of touched. Then the replay is inconclusive (looked like there was a gap, not really sure what would be conclusive, if that wasn't) and they go with the original call.

It is what it is, we were on the right side of a very similar one in the dying stages of the narrow win against the Pies back in May. Swings and roundabouts.
