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...

Geelong 08 reminded everyone which players were missing when they beat hawks in late season, the only meeting. That didn’t go so good

Exactly my thinking

Interesting preparation

I’m hearing strong reports that Ginnivan has been omitted due to discipline issues. To be replaced in the selected side by Harry Harrison.

Did he dye his hair entirely purple or with black and white stripes ?

Not long to wait now ladles and jelly spoons.

I just read the lions were recent spooners. I didn’t remember that. May be the shame of the spoon is not so great

Makes me sick knowing Collingwood will win the flag, Brisbane are trash at the MCG.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Ballsy. This would certainly one-up the Scott brothers skipping the parade to play a golf comp the day before in footy folklore if they win

We beat Melbourne there in a final 12 months ago and had a fade out against Melbourne after playing 3 qtrs of good football.

We also seem to play well against the pies - I think we are in with a great chance today.

Mate I'm barracking for the lions like I support them today, don't worry about that. I can't stand Collingwood

Merry Christmas everyone

It'll boil down to who starts well. A good start for Collingwood and they'll win their 3rd flag in the last 60 years. A good start for the Lions and they'll win by 30+ points.

Carlton started well last week…?

Or dozens of other possibilities

 

[Pistol Night]

Bookies reckon Collingwood

But the wise heads in BigFooty are giving it to Brisbane

Hardest one to pick for a while - I’ll go Brizzy by 2-3 goals but without much confidence

Yeah im torn between people betting with their heads or people betting with their hearts against Collingwood

 

[Viceregal]

I'd prefer if it was decided by kid after the siren, no.matter the score a random child picks the winner

As long as it is a random child wearing maroon, blue, and gold with a lion logo on the front all good!

And a shout out to all of our new fans-for-the-day whether you are pro-Lions or anti-Pies (or both) welcome and enjoy the (hopefully) party

I think you'll win easy and I'm certainly hoping it isn't the case.

Who the *s Harry Harrison? Harveys brother?

 

[_Mike_]

Pretty s**t thing to say even from a Collingwood supporter. The bar is low but that’s lower.

Please report posts rather than responding. It means we get to it quicker.

 

[raskolnikov]

More of this today please.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

My friend who works at the MCG as a groundskeeper has told me that they’ve pre-loaded all the Brisbane players post-goal tracks into the PA System so they’re ready to go on the big stage.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

I’d rather go straight sets than lose a grand final. No prizes for runner up, the prize is the exact same as finishing 18th.

That’s rubbish. The build up in GF week is fantastic.
Losing stings but I’d rather be in it than not.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Surely that’s not real.
Not even Ginnivan can be that stupid.

It would be Lipinski or Noble to come in if this were true.
Nice try though
