Autopsy AFL 2023 Grand Final - Pies vs Lions Sat Sept 30th 2:30pm EST (MCG)

[Algorithmic Hot Takes]

Biggest ever comeback in a grand final at 3/4 is 24 points in 1984. They’d want to be a bit closer I’d reckon.

Maybe, but it's all mental. They'll both be knackered at that stage with the heat, in this scenario.
The crowd starts "Coooollingwoood, Coooollingwoood", get a quick goal or two, and tired Lions could try and save it, which won't end well if 20 points up with 15 minutes to go...

 

[Tandy]

Hope it's still close at 3 QTR time.

 

[No SPIN]

Feel like Payne’s not playing is cancelled out by Frampton’s inclusion v Gardiner.
Really is a pretty ordinary forward line for a GF.

Maybe finishing Top has moved the dial for a reliance on gun forwards, with an evolution to a more sophisticated game plan.

Who else is pumped for kiss??

Tipping the Lions by 23, conditions will suit them

Is Brisbane's Poor MCG record worse than Collingwoods GF record??

$1.70 for team that's won 2 in 65 years and has a history of cocking up in Grand Finals...no thanks

On SM-S918B using BigFooty.com mobile app

absolute nonsense, Collingwood GF record has nothing to do with 'this' team

'this' team has NOT won 2 in 65 years !! they were won by OTHER Collingwood teams

'this' particularly Collingwood team is in its 1st GF.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Lipinski has been underwhelming in finals so far, not sure about him as sub.

Noble bloody stiff, not to be in starting 22 or as sub.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Give me a dose of whatever you have been taking! Please. This will be my 16th grand final for 2 wins in my lifetime. It's impossible to not feel pessimistic.

I've got no respect for bandwagon Essendon, Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn or Richmond supporters but unfortunately you'll win easily.

 

[Cyclops]

That's ironic. Let's hope you don't see any squashed magpies then lol.

I haven't seen or really even heard any maggies myself this week, oddly. That I can remember. And I guess the only lions in Melbourne are at the zoo.

If you see a squashed lion near your place 100% Brisbane win.

 

[eddiesmith]

Good luck with that. He's had his head ripped off and gets nothing. Same as Toby last week. Umpired to a different standard.

Toby ducked, 100% correct decision

 

[PieLebo87]

Well we got that right.. Let's see if Howe goes forward to start and Frampton down back

Well called. The right call as well by Fly. Lipinski’s smarts and effort will be very handy late.

Collingwood are having more trouble kicking goals than Manchester United. Struggling to score again just won't cut it against Brisbane. Got away with 2 clubs shooting themselves in the foot to get to the GF. Melbourne against the Pies bumbled, fumbled, fell over, used the ball something horrid going into the F50, always out of position, kicked like a dog's hind leg at goal, having 25 shots to 15 but dumping 7 of those shots out on the full. Despite that they only lost by 7pts as the Pies struggled score.

Brisbane easy.

 

[The King!]

Just seems like a great contest potentially . You have to admire the Pies for the fact they never give up, always in a game , and won't be bothered by the moment .

I hope Brisbane win, but suspect Pies by 20

They are showing a replay of the 2002 GF on Fox right now with Huddo, Browny, Bucks and Lynchy commentating it.

I hope this GF is more like that one than the 2003 GF which was a boring blowout even though it was great seeing Collingwood get thumped.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Payne playing 23 games in normal season and a qualifying to only miss out. That sucks

They said he was passed fit to play but they didn't want to take the chance. He's listed as an emergency

Bugger the neutrals Collingwood haters, I’m hoping for something like the 2010 replay where the entire second half was a big celebration!!!

One of the worst GFs ever, it didn't even feel like a proper GF, they should have played extra time the week before and Collingwood probably would have lost.

What has the first part of your statement got to do with whether you think we will win? Collingwood fans are the most loyal and the most likely to turn up even in the dark days. Of course, you get extras when the team is on a roll.

We do lack a Matthew Pavlich type superstar. We couldn't possibly lose a GF with a Matthew Pavlich type superstar.

Na. You're entire supporter base is either directly or indirectly as a result of your premierships won in the VFL.

Best GF I’ve ever been to! Plus the best grand final for fans actually getting to attend this century

Turn it up. It's the same every year.

Still got to tackle him right.

Mick, can we count on your support on Saturday? After all we’ve been through.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Na the replay was mostly fans of the 2 clubs
