Autopsy AFL 2025 First Preliminary Final - Pies v Lions Sat Sept 20th 5:15pm EST (MCG)

[PenfoldsFan]

I remember when they tightened the rule saying that any front on contact whether they are looking at the ball or not is a free. I hated it at the time and still do

Yet when Hawks did it to Crows last week the VFL commentators said it was ok if consistent.
Go figure

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Fox commentary still whinging about the front on free that wasn't paid, despite it not being there.

Let's empathise, it's a very tough time for them right now, with their mancrush Nick Daicos' season ending in heartbreak.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Now can we get to Lando Norris binning it in q1 and Piastri on pole?.

he hasn't been great in FP. Lando on top

 

[rdhopkins2]

So it’s Cats v Lions in the big one.
Injury concerns for both sides.
No reports for both sides I think.

 

[JHF1870]

FFS, will these commentators STFU.

The free kick to Elliot

Just **** off

 

[dean33]

It was literally the perfect spoil. So much bitching despite the relentless one way decisions.

So many shit 50m penalties. Brisbane really earned this.

Nah was definitely a free which makes it even sweeter.

 

[Mr Meow]

They were here at Big Footy anyway.

Even before the match had started they were under fire lol

Go you LION Kings. Kings of the Melbourne Jungle. and get to defend their title !!!

Can we get Joe back for one game ? and Tomahawk to be fair as well ? would be great.

Well done to your boys. They've been great against the best teams all year and deserve a shot at going back to back next week.

 

[RAPPA]

Anyone know why Pendlebury is out?

Government cut the aged pension

You have to lock the Suitcase

Cats have done it

It is unfair, Collingwood should be able to play teams coached by Matthew Nicks

Suck shit Pies.

Peaked too early. No cups handed out in June

Haha make another grand final and lose it by 10 plus, we had a go in the finals came up short. Love supporter like you quick to stick boots in but gee 2022 and 2024 no cups in those years

 

[YeoShuey]

A whole week of gaslighting by Pies fans that Cox was a star...

 

[Grumpyshades]

Fox Footy in mourning

 

[le dominateur]

Front on contact, right in front of me.
Hahaha

 

[PlayHard]

You can't play good for one qtr and expect to win a final, very much like the hawks last night.

The two best teams are in the grand final.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Looks like Pies could do with Merret too

 

[FyfeToAdelaide]

Pies fans thought this game was theirs after beating.... Adelaide. LOL!

Couldn't even recover after 2 weeks spent so much on us.. I mean it's why Hawks lost also.

 

[Headless]

Would be nice to see McInerney win a premiership next week if that eventuates.

 

[WAbulldog]

Great win Brisbane

 

[janty]

Gallop > Allen

 

[ray_purchase]

Well done Brisbane. Now the Grand Final will be watchable.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Daicos MIA in the 4th again.

always

best player in the comp (early in the season when your team is on top)

and that's not a bad thing

not what you need in a cut-throat sudden death final though

 

[bungalow_bill]

If we take into account previous 3 games, Collingwood should win this one.

Omly match that matters is the most recent though so it's irrelevant.

Not black and white no pun intended. Saying Geelong will easily beat the Lions based on one game when we beat them twice this year is silly. Even your bunnies get a W now and then

Anyway great win huh?

 

[ibd77]

Geelong v Lions GF, equalisation going well

Farmers vs Academies.
