Autopsy AFL 2020 Premiership Season Second Elimination Final - Saints v Dogs Sat October 3rd 4:40pm AEST (Gabba) Highlights in OP

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

For some reason I thought it was the Dogs who won this year, which factored into my tip of the Dogs. But if the Saints won then I think I'll favour them. But it's a hard one to pick, depends on who's better on the day obviously.

So if it was the eagles vrs the sun's you would go for the suns hypothetically?

In 2018 they belted us. We belted them the first week back after the hiatus but they were a different side back then.

Our form has been sketchy in the second half of the season. Doggies seem to be in form at the right time and would feel relatively confident going up against us.

This wasn't long ago, while we played GC early when we were adjusting to a hub. They tend to start seasons well and really drop off too.

Was so pleased to see Dogs win in 2016, hoping it’s our turn in this crazy year, but if not, hoping Dogs over the others remaining.....

Pretty gutted we face you guys week 1. Wanted to barrack for your lot to make it deep, but not if it comes at our expense

Oh i thought I heard it mentioned somewhere the game was a few weeks ago. Never mind.

Under Ratts we've played them twice, for a 27 point win last year, and a 39 point win this year, so you've got to think that he's got a fair idea of what it takes to stop them playing the way they want to play, and that we have the personnel to pull it off.

It all starts in the midfield and at the ruck contests, and you'd think Ryder and Marshall will be kicking their lips at the prospect of taking on English and Bruce there again.

I think Ratts is a great coach but I wouldn’t suggest his game plan was responsible for you guys winning the last two against us. He had been in charge for about 5 days when you guys beat us. Last year we had an issue with not getting up for games we thought would be easy. Lost to Gold Coast, Carlton, and North in dismal displays.

Our extreme inconsistency continues this year.

I could see this game playing out in so many ways. Huge win to the saints, big dog victory, or anywhere in between.

Just hope it’s a cracker and both teams come to play for four quarters.

The week off will do both clubs good.

It is a genuine 50/50 game with both sides having strengths and weakness but playing attacking and good footy, It will be a close one

ITT: saints fans remaining humble, as they should
Also ITT: dogs fans salty at whichever neutral fans don’t tip their team

My heart says St Kilda but












my head says the Saints.


Can't see Bevo changing his game plan which means it will allow us to play our preferred style and as a result Ryan Gardner and Alex Keath in for a hard night.

Libba isn't letting it get down there that much. He was not there last time, nor was Hunter or Wood and a few others. It is a different team on completely different form.

Doubt Saints get freedom to do whatever they want

Yeah but when we played you when about half our team was playing their second game together.

Results against the top 4 this season

St Kilda 2 wins two losses (including 2 point loss to Lions)

WB - 0 wins 4 losses.

St Kilda marginally better score for and against. The way the Doggies play suits our style much better than say teams like Geelong.

In the end I expect a close game - will go down to the wire.

Round 2 is irrelevant.

If you want to throw those sort of stats, dogs have been the highest scoring side in the last 6 weeks

Brisbane's kicking was the only reason they did not belt the saints

 

[Dazb86]

I feel like the Saints match up pretty well on us and are pretty good at negating our strengths.

Saints in a final worries me, for historic reasons. If the dogs bring the heat all game then our talent should be too much

It’s the whole time zone delay

It would kinda suck to break the drought at the gabba though. We'll take this year, you take next. That way everyone is happy.

Not a prelim so you guys have a chance.

Not a grand final so you do too

Very true
