Autopsy AFL 2023 First Semi Final (Week 2) - Demons v Blues Fri Sept 15th 7:50pm EST (MCG)

[Pancakes]

The betting websites have the Lions v Blues game on next Sat.
Has this been confirmed by the AFL, or are they speculating?

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

More Essendon supporters in here than Dees supporters. Here for it

 

[hawkman]

Has Tom Browne checked out? Normally he is front and centre looking for attention asking the first dumb question

 

[Foucault1989]

forgot how dumb some supporters are, 29 years? maybe check history

Typo. Hit 9 instead of 0

 

[Worm4]

You’re kidding regarding Melbourne not being a high pressure side.
I watched the replay of Thursday and they were magnificent at the contest.
Collingwoods backline were up to it though.
Carlton won’t be better because Martin is very important upfront, run and marking option.
Harry as ineffective as he is will free up Lever.
Melbourne will bounce back as top four teams usually do in the finals.
They are a better overall side than Carlton.

Yeah , nah...

 

[Hippster]

Blues have Martin, Harry, Dow, Fisher as possible ins if players don’t come up.
Docherty would be unlikely.
Bad kicking is bad footy.

Not confirmed. Plenty of reporters have stated that the AFL have indicated Collingwood will be the Friday night final. It’s kind of what you get after finishing as minor premiers.

 

[Worm4]

This guy gets it.

No , he actually doesnt

Richmond won multiple flags at the G, there is no doubt of 2020 was a normal season Richmond would have won it, were only able to win in a Covid affected season

Don't rewrite history - it's impossible to say who would have won 2020 if things were different.

If 2018 stopped before finals, I'm sure you would have said theres no doubt Tigers would have won it.

Any team can lose on any day - so there's plenty of doubt Richmond would of won it.

 

[juss]

they've kicked 11.11 7.11 and 9.17 the past 3 weeks BAD KICKING = BAD FOOTY DEMONS

That's 27.39 across 3 weeks then.

You're never gonna get away with that in finals.

List is severely lacking a gun KPF.

Broncos play at Suncorp next Saturday Night. Lions will ask for the Friday you'd think

 

[Greenaicos]

I said it last week and I said it throughout the game tonight but why was McDonald out there? How does anyone involved in that selection keep their job?

Surely Grundy couldn't have been worse. At least then you get a contest when Gawn isn't in the ruck, because McDonald sure as s**t wasn't providing one in the ruck or as a forward.

Grundy is lucky he’s getting out of this club.

 

[Plugger35]

What was the point of schache as the sub?

Yeah crazy decision to make him the sub, even Goodwin himself would have been a better option.

 

[FreoRicci]

Gawn can still strut around thinking he’s top s**t.

Keep choking, Max

How bout who gives a rats arse about the NRL, minor premier gets the longer break

They can ask but won’t get it as they didn’t finish minor premiers. Same as it is every year except for 1.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Dee's more wayward than Goodwin's alleged extracurricular activities.

Nah, for a mediocre one off flag such as West Coast 2018 that might have been the case, but not for an all time great side such as Richmond

 

[FreoRicci]

Grundy is lucky he’s getting out of this club.

Goodwin about himself in the foot with these selections.
Grundy is there, and McDonald, Scache are better options?
Guy’s days should be numbered. With this list have failed to win finals back to back

The highest rated team gets the extra day break for GF.
Won’t be fair this season though. GWS Port only get 6 days based on that.

 

[Plugger35]

I'm a big fan of Gawn, he's a Black Caps supporter like me, but he blew it tonight, missed two gettable goals and then spoiled another one.

He helped to carry the Dees to a flag back in 2021 though so he still has a lot of credits in the bank.

 

[trueblue_91]

Dees were much better. I think they won by like 20+ points on X-score.

Still, it's finals footy, I'll take the variance (and luck). Cannot believe we are in a Prelim for the first time in over two decades! Go blues.

They can ask for what they like, they won’t get it. Pies final Friday

I believe it's likely to be a twilight game at the GABBA.

 

[Bostonian]

So Seven know this was just a Semi-Final right? Ah * we're going to have to put up with them talking Carlton up all week.

We're good for business.
