Autopsy AFL 2025 Grand Final - Cats v Lions Sat Sept 27th 2:30pm EST (MCG) - Lions go B2B

[Elixuh]

Christ you need your head read if you're just happy to be participating in a granny.

Nothings guaranteed in footy. It's an elite group of kids though.

We’re just a battler team trying to make it in the big leagues.

Lachie Neale is 2 weeks into a 6 week injury

By next Saturday, 3 weeks into a 4-6 week injury !

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

Even the final for Geelong is an easy fixture with Brisbane's injury list. The free rides of free rides this year.

 

[Coolangatta]

So I'm not really buying the "they win it with Hipwood" line.

Never said that. Must be referring to someone else’s line.

 

[joe444]

I was imprecise as he was on your list of key outs.

But I agree - Brisbane is better without him. Joke of a footballer.

 

[morsie]

Pickett? He debuted in a GF. Don't think he blew his foot off, but he was charged with armed robbery

In the 30s

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Two best in it

Hope the Lions win and the game lives up to the hype

Lucky we didn't get the Crows this finals then ay? Nothing was more of a free ride than playing them this September.

And they get to play the grand final at their home ground.

Yes, you are a battler you're not telling fibs there. But you are a battler that has a sugar daddy that takes good care of you.

 

[randyzany]

Geelong is not a Melbourne club, it's a city about 80kms to the West of Melbourne. It's a bit like saying that the Gabba is GC's home ground.

I could have sworn both of Geelong’s finals this year have been home finals.

 

[SA HAWK]

75-25% Geelong’s way imo.

If Brisbane do win i will be shocked if it is by more than a few goals.

Won’t be surprised if Geelong win by a lot.

if they lose to a brisbane team that has limped to the finish line they seriously need to consider whether scott is the man to take them forward.

You really are talking bollocks.

longmire stood aside in the same circumstance.

there is no shame in it.

Scott is one of the great coaches in Afl/Vfl history and i think he is a smug campaigner.

Love what Fages has done too btw.

I could have sworn both of Geelong’s finals this year have been home finals.

The AFL has assigned the MCG as an alternative Geelong home ground (against Geelong's wishes) purely for monetary gain. And even if Geelong has chosen the G as an alternative home ground, it's not up to the AFL to override Geelong's wishes and decide what games Geelong should play there, that should still be up to Geelong.

It’s pretty unfair that Geelong get two home grounds, unbelievable

Cats have no Stewart & i am not sure Henry is fit based on Friday night.

If Brisbane can match it in the midfield this could be an issue for Geelong.

The 'G is not really a Geelong home ground, it's an alternate venue that the AFL has thrust on Geelong since time immemorial. I'm not against some Geelong home games being played there but it should be completely on the say so of Geelong just like Hawthorn, North, etc.. get to decide which clubs they play in Tassie

The Bad News Bears hey…well there is a bit of old Brisbane and old Hollywood about that.

A good rebuilding year for the Lions this year. Getting games into the kids.

Oh we’re still in it. Dab.

Lions just happy to be here.

I agree on this part, but it's high pressure for yourself, who declared you would delete your BigFooty account if Brisbane lost to Geelong twice in one finals series. Bold words!

 

[My Tilly]

Nothing been said about his injury at all in the media. Henry is arguably our most important defender (yes, ahead of Stewart). He's been locking down on some of the best forwards all year long. If he's not 100%, it's a major concern.

I’m too important to chiefs engagement analytics on this website to do that.

If you lose will you stop dressing up as a cat to go to the footy?
