Autopsy AFL 2022 Second Qualifying Final - Demons v Swans Fri Sept 2nd 7:50pm EST (MCG)

[BringFevBack2021]

My two favourite clubs after Carlton, both exciting to watch this year and playing beautiful football.

Hope it’s another tight affair, with the Swans getting up just. Only because I think Melbourne are the more likely of the two to go on and dispose of Brisbane to book their prelim.

Dees easily, should be over by half time, a fizzer

Here's hoping tonight's game is also decided by a contentious decision. My pick, a 50m penalty for abusing an umpire with seconds to go.

If Papley does that I am going to flip my lid.

I am personally hoping for a never seen before Flying V in the dying minute of the game, Buddy at the tip

My tip, Harrison Petty kicks a 60 meter torp with the Demons 2 points down after the siren that hits the post, goal umpires soft call is a behind but refers it to the ARC for a possible post climb and shake by Dane Rampe, ARC goes with umpires call with Rampe appearing to be half way up the goal post but it's deemed inconclusive.

I have two standing room tickets I'm giving away for free. Send me a PM. Preference given to Swans and Demons fans. Pay it forward

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Wow this thread already at 6 pages, what an intense rivalry

 

[Rod Stroker]

I'd prefer the Swans to win but I think the Dees will

A nice gesture but probably a bit late for anyone not living right next to the MCG.

 

[melbournemartin]

Sure I understand. I remember it worked one time before (indeed the guy who took em lived in Richmond). Anyway PM me if anyone keen. They weren't expensive but prefer not to go to waste

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Sydney should win this quite easily.

 

[demondavey]

Sydney should win this quite easily.

Agreed.

Out form has been very average bar the lions game. We beat up on Brisbane regularly and their defence is awful. They’ll get vaporised next week.

Swans really should win this by 5-6 goals.

 

[RUNVS]

I am not sure how much this is going out on a limb but I think the most important player for the Swans tonight is Hickey. I don't expect him to beat Gawn, that is very tough, but making it so Gawn has an average game (for him) is so important. Can't let him have the game he had against us earlier in the year.

Anyone that wants to sneak into this year's grand final can give themselves a headstart!!!

You won that! Didn’t Gawn kick 3 and get 30 or something ridiculous?

We did win but Gawn very nearly dragged you guys over the line. I am struggling to think of a more dominant game from a ruckman.

You shut up.

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

750 start time feels so late after 720 last night

Ridiculous. We can just get subjected to Mick Molly’s grating voice advertising SPORTS BET for another 30 minutes.

It really should be a 7:20pm start anyway as 7:50pm is too late to start a game given how long an AFL game goes for. Plus people who come directly from work really don't want to be waiting an extra half hour for the game to start.

Going to be raining goals for the Swans... hopefully.

bit of trivia that im not 100% sure is true but its a better story so ill go with it. thats actually not mick molloy just someone who does a version of his voice for much cheaper than Mick does but still makes a very good living off it.
