Autopsy AFL 2022 First Semi Final - Pies v Freo Sat Sept 10th 7:25pm EST (MCG)

[RonnieRaven]

It's been 106 days since Fremantle has played on the MCG. Only game they've played there.

Yeah crazy to think but obviously the ground has no advantage otherwise grand finals there would not be a level playing field.

 

[biggiemediums]

I love how everyone's saying "Whoever wins won't beat Sydney next week."

Like there isn't huge upsets almost weekly in football.

 

[Number37]

Running around the back getting cheap possessions isn't "finals footy" which makes it harder for Daicos to have an impact. IMO Pies will get bogged down in their own half. Freo only need to bring their better form and they should win comfortably. Factoring in the ride the Pies will get from the umps it will be a close game.

 

[Belnakor]

Very sensible

The less changes the better after a win like that

i think Richmond showed everyone with Dusty that playing blokes "80%" fit won't cut it these days.

big worry they get a couple of cheap goals early from some dodgy free kicks and then get a run on

They didn't learn their lesson from the 2018 prelim

Didn't bother you on Saturday night! And you've done it a few times this year including away games against Melbourne and the Giants. I'd rather you guys get the early lead!

Death, taxes and Pies goals from free kicks. Ginnivan will get at least 2 goals from free kicks.

He will now as hes playing against a non vic side..........

Says the Swans supporter whose team got the ride of their lives on Friday night. Imagine if Ginnivan had been shoved in the back and taken a dive and then run at his opponent only be bumped over by the stronger man for 50m in a huge momentum changing moment. I only wish Cox and Ginnivan got the ride sooky Buddy has had for years.

Your comments on Nick Daicos are cringeworthy. And we did thump Freo in their backyard earlier this year. No guarantees, but we have handled them before.

Start squealing early. It's hilarious. Even the media concede Ginnivan gets treated harshly by umps and misses out on frees he deserves yet people still spew the same s**t.

Mate, we had Michael Walters doing the same thing and getting sfa free kicks for years so we know how you feel.

Once you get tagged as a flopper in the media you are a flopper for evermore.

Hes a good player Ginnivan but I wouldnt put it past the AFL to give him free kicks this week that he wont get any other week as we are a non vic off broadway club vs a big vic club.

I hope for your families sake that you're not actually this stupid.

Yeah and we ended Melbourne’s 17 game unbeaten run with a 5 goal win in that one.

Yeh let's compare a bloke who's kicked more than 1,000 goals to a flopper and a bloke who wears sunnies on a footy field.

"families" = more than 1 family.
"family" + apostrophe of possession + "s" = "family's"


I hope for your family's sake that you're not the smart one.

The biggest problem for the Dockers is their inconsistency. They can beat anyone on their day, for example beating Melbourne and Geelong away from home, but can also be absolutely crap. It really depends what team shows up on the day and how switched on they are mentally.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Freo in an upset.

As exciting Saturday's Cats v Pies game was with the pace and pressure both sides were panicky and lacked alot of composure with the ball. Individuals got Geelong over the line rather than any good play. Not sure the Pies are that good, just gutsy. May have won 11 straight but the last 8 were narrow squeaks against ordinary sides or sides that had them shot but choked it up (Melbourne excepted, a good win).

 

[Monco Matt]

I'm not going to write Freo off in this one. They are a strong defensive team than can score well if you drop your concentration like the Dogs did. I would be very disappointed to see the Pies go out in straight sets. It would be a tragic way to end such an inspiring season. I just don't see us giving this one up and I would expect that we would win this by 15 points without the final minute stressful ending. Freo will have a good crack at it but at the MCG with 70,000 Pies fans behind them I think Freo will feel that.

See the ride the doggies got? Far out I swear Bont is immune to HTB.

Crowd will be a major factor also, 70k pies fans will be a very large influence.

Spelling is not indicative of intelligence at all. Unless you think Einstein was dumb? However, critical thinking skill are...

I'd rather make a spelling error every now and then, to having the thought patterns of a complete muppet.

Yeah.. 106 days ago.

Panicky and a lack of compusure?

It's called 'loose aggressive'.. off course you're gonna turn over the pill.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Yeah.. 106 days ago.

Is that supposed to be significant? It was so long ago we’ll forget how to get to the ground?

 

[FDH16]

We're going to smack the living suitcase out of a fraudulent Collingwood outfit.

Prepare for a straight sets execution you edentulous pack of inbreds.

I look forward to Caleb Serong
