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

[CrowToon]

Magpies should be blaming McRae and selection committee.

No integrity with selection. Half a dozen players totally out of form in back half of year never dropped.

Trying to squeeze one more flag out of a geriatric list and got exposed by a much better team

 

[Bill Crouse]

Other than his goal Houston has had another ordinary game

Houston and Perryman should give most of their salary back to Elliott and the golden boy brothers.

 

[wilsonmatic]

Feeling pretty robbed.

Why, what happened?

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Lil Nicky running for his life all night he looked like a shite NFL quarterback seeing ghosts. How many times done HtB? At least 3 haha

 

[Knight82]

Yep they’re done
Problem for them is Fly is delusional that they’re still in and will try and top up

The Collingwood list is primed for multiple retirements I think.
Plus an extended bottom 8 run as well

 

[Ice-Wolf]

He went for the ball and there was absolutely no free kick there. If the broadcasters cared about the game they'd either learn the rules or have someone on the panel who specifically knows what all the rules are. It's a beautiful spoil.

BT can't even be bothered to look up the players names, you think he's going to read the rules?

 

[WAbulldog]

Hey. I know you

 

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

Starce got the ball. Wobbles shouldn’t have mucked around so much on a certain goal. To hear the wind collectively go out of those commentators was sublime

 

[longdonkey]

That game was worthy of a Grand Final. Mainly because of the result.

 

[demondavey]

Berry is out. Only weakens them.

Additionally, they had Stevic in this prelim and his prelims win Grand Finals like 10% of the time

Geelong don’t have Stewart

 

[Mister Carlton]

Sucked in.

 

[HairyO]

Geelong is getting Curnow too.

There cannot be any farmland within 50km of Geelong left.

18.5.2 Free Kicks - Marking Contests A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick in a Marking contest against a Player where the Player:
(d) makes contact to an opposition Player from front-on and whose sole objective is not to contest or spoil a Mark;

He went for the ball and there was absolutely no free kick there. If the broadcasters cared about the game they'd either learn the rules or have someone on the panel who specifically knows what all the rules are. It's a beautiful spoil.

Absolutely correct. The commentating was thoroughly one-sided, they were downplaying and questioning plays for brisbane while pumping up the Pies at any chance

 

[apollo_creed]

David King hates finals as his best finals performance was kicking 7 goals and 20+ touches in a game his team lost by 125 points

He's still salty

He won two premierships. I think he’s ok with finals.

He’s just upset Fagan has made him look like a tool.

 

[WillHayward]

Who are their 25 and under stars besides N.Daicos? Or even really good B graders? There isn't a lot of depth in that part of the list.

They are stuffed

 

[wilsonmatic]

 

[YeoShuey]

Geelong don’t have Stewart

Didn't need him to win last night... Won't need him to win again next week.

I've called a Geelong Premiership since June. It's just too obvious.

 

[Jimmy the Ghost]

Commentators don't even attempt to hide that they wanted an all Victorian Grand Final.

BT should never commentate Pies
Actually, just shouldn’t commentate.

 

[jdstorm]

They
need to stop calling him the little master. That's Gabblet Jrs name

Which was just ripping of Sachin Tendulkar

Hate rip off nicknames

 

[A Swallow]

He won two premierships. I think he’s ok with finals.

He’s just upset Fagan has made him look like a tool.

He adores Collingwood (and Nick in particular), he’d be fuming.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Well that was predictable in hindsight

 

[Thedeftouch]

Buckley blaming some non-existent free kick for the 30 point loss

 

[Go the Guts]

Brisbane - Australia says this.

 

[RUNVS]

There cannot be any farmland within 50km of Geelong left.

No, but there is plenty of suspiciously cheap houses for sale that new Geelong players have access to.
