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

**** me get a room

Sorry Pistol Pete

And so it should. The 2026 grand final is a long way away. Plenty more to discuss, like why did Dangerfield pull a disappearing act.

Why was Bailey Smith like the big bad wolf, all huff and no puff ?

And will Kai Lohman introduce any more wrestling based goal celebrations in 2027?! Pressing questions that need discussing.

Cats would very likely not have 4 AFL flags right now sans father/sons. Foolish comment by poor loser C Scott.

It's a fun fact that the Cats would probably be back 2 back premiers if not for the Lions.

Prove the comment by CS. He is a very gracious loser, and good friends with Marcus Ashcroft, and Adrian Fletcher. He highly rates their sons, and has often acknowledged Geelong's history with F-S's. I find it weird that people can enjoy the misery that people feel when games are lost.
Maybe an attitude thing, but I would never hang it on opposition supporters of any losing team after a GF. Enjoy your win, it was awesome, and fully derserved. We know what it's like to win and lose them. Your team might go on to win 5 in a row- let's hope modesty and humility are still respected in society.

Stuff that, the attitude by Geelong pre match was horrible. Geelong ate humble pie and have to live with it forever!

What are you on about?
Just a disgruntled Hawks fan enjoying Geelong losing?
We saved you guys the pain of it all.
I didn't see any attitude pre game by supporters or team- very worried, circumspect, and with good reason.

I saw the opposite from supporters around the traps and Geelong folk in the media. Confident that the Grand Final result would echo what happened in the Qualifying Final.

Danger leaning on a fence chatting to 7 journos pre game showed how serious he was taking it

I saw Danger sipping fluids while teammates warmed up; 10 minutes into 1st quarter he's down to the rooms to ?? vomit, crap, who knows? He was crook and cooked, and I for one did not expect him to back up after the Prelim.

Fair enough- we have many overconfident supporters, and I am not one of them, and I do not respect it, but looking at our BF board in GF week, you'd have thought we just scraped into the GF.
I'm sure you're not alone into feeling joyful that we were smashed.
Can guarantee you that I went nowhere near your board after the Prelim- just no benefit in lording it over any team any time. I see Hawks as big contenders again next year, but not sure any team is up to the Lions at their best.

Winning the GF dominantly is impossible to top, but my God seeing the Lions beat the Pies was chefs kiss

Congrats to the Lions - far too good for a very very poor opposition.

Yes, proved that in their last 3 finals

Thank you, I tried my best

The bluray came out yesterday. But I'm holding firm for the release of the victory pack next week. It includes the bluray of the grand final match. Winner winner chicken dinner.

 

[theprospector]

It was a great win , no doubt about it

 

[Xtreme]

Cost of the Victory Pack: $62.99

Watching Geelong get thrashed and the Brisbane Lions treating Dangerfield and Smith like witches hats = PRICELESS

Some real hatred there.
Guess we felt the same when Port eliminated your hyenas in 24, and then us this year.

I semi recycled the same joke when I got the 2024 victory pack in the 2024 grand final thread as well

Have always had admiration of Hawthorn, Brisbane, Collingwood.
I can't really hate any team, as the players are all humans and would love them if Cats players.
I know we have become hated for never bottoming out, but also know we simply can't afford to- many Geelong supporters are fickle and very quickly jump off.
Has not been an issue since 2004

Lachie Neale has selfishly put himself ahead of the team. Not a chance in hell his calf is anywhere remotely close to ok.

Geelong will flog them.

Probably the worst aged post in the whole of big footy
