Autopsy AFL 2025 First Elimination Final - GWS v Hawks Sat Sept 6th 3:15pm AEST (Engie)

[PenfoldsFan]

GWS only have themselves to blame and Hawthorn deserve to be the ones advancing to the SF (despite their inexplicably poor last half of the 3rd term). The Giants have ran hot and cold all season and within most of their games. Just like the 2024 finals series.

Rubbish.
The only mistake they made was lifting the foot when they finally caught up as your sack of shit league was always going to manufacture a late result.

6-1 in the last 5 minutes, hows that for Vic bias smartarse.

That's 3 set exits for the Giants.

"Way too casual" by Riccardi on that attempt, according to Browny.

Yeah, I'm sure that's what the problem was.

I agree with him, showed zero urgency on the kick and got his angle and position all wrong when he did kick it.

 

[Roobs321]

that bedford play on tackle felt a turning point moment

called it!

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Love the saltiness from opposition supporters. Suck shit. Day hadn’t got injured we would have finished top 2 and won the flag.

 

[Magma]

now for the main event.

bounce.

It's part of the reason why we will never get anything close to an even comp. When the commentators cheer on the Victorian sides, launch into defence when a Victorian player commits a reportable offence and then hangs draws and quarters a non-Vic in the same scenario, it's little wonder we see what we do.

It's weird how every state bar one can clearly see this

Howie doesnt know what pulsating means.

Im sure he does, but in a different context

 

[Angus Young]

Really really good away win.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Had Hawthorn winning this week no matter who they played. My Hawks death ride for their pick went out the door when it was a cert we'd get pick 2 for Allen so now I'm tipping with my brain instead of a wish.

GWS and having injuries to key players come finals time...name a more iconic duo.

 

[HeHateMe]

How good are Hardwick and Impey, they are so underrated!

 

[Andronicus]

Adelaide Crows - I pity you next week if today's umpiring is any guide.

VFL lives on.

The AFL franchise didn't get looked after by daddy as much as you wanted?

 

[mick500]

I was just surprised to learn that you’re the cat person who dresses up for Geelong games. I respect your choice.

Is that legit? Or am I a sucker for believing it? Lol.

 

[JackFlash]

You know it’s really scrambled the brain when old mates still talking about the welcome to country at halftime. You doing ok big dog?

Never felt better! The game ended up a lot better than the pre game nonsense.

 

[Delisted]

Not even playing Hokball yet

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

Cos its only a classic if 2 Vic teams are in it right

OMG. WTF is in the water in WA. You guys have some serious problems.

 

[Smeg Head]

How good are Hardwick and Impey, they are so underrated!

Couldn't get the ball past Hardwick at times in that 4th qtr. Positioned himself perfectly.

For those blaming this win on the umpires, consider that Watson would have kicked 10+ goals if he was given a free every time he was illegally held. GWS lucky to get within 60 by that measure.

Amazing reversal of momentum, 7 in a row to GWS on a ground we'd gone 0 from 8 on, relinquished the lead and kicking into the wind, but dug deep from that point to bring it home. Inspirational stuff.

 

[Mr Meow]

No doubt enjoying a whine

I truly wonder what people would whinge about with another Geelong/Hawthorn final, besides them daring to play it. I guess each team brings 2 paid off umpires? The conspiracy runs deep.

Must have been because of umpiring right?

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Eagles fans stay salty,
Hawks’ flags still bring them pain,
And losing Barrass for peanuts
Just rubs salt in the vein.

 

[Delisted]

How good is it seeing all the fake interstate teams getting smashed?

 

[RCAB]

Knocked out with no prior

You're so salty.... And we love it.

Imagine getting this upset as a neutral lol.
Give the game up you sad sack, what a miserable human

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Chol is a massive cheat, front on contact there, nowhere the ball and no free.

Front on contact only matters in a marking contest
