Autopsy AFL 2023 Second Elimination Final - Saints v GWS Sat Sept 9th 3:20pm EST (MCG)

[HTPunter]

Hilarious seeing a beaten spud like Webster mouth off in the closing stages of a 5 goal loss to Greene, all because Greene accidentally hit him with the ball when throwing it behind? Ok Jimmy come play for North where you can’t hide behind the likes of Wilkie & Wanganeen

Have they though? Ross Lyon has basically said all year they're toying with what they've got and still plan on hitting the draft hard this year. Don't think they'd deny that what they've got isn't close to good enough but they've got the best young talent they've had in a while.

They've had a good year saints

 

[Rod Stroker]

A big big sound.
Of relief.
Onward and upward.
Good to hold them off after getting a break.
Similar story all 3 games so far.

Good win. Big chance next week.

S

Strange considering we kicked more goals than Sydney

I expected to lose said it before the game was happy with giving the young forwards some experience that’s all I expected last night

 

[HTPunter]

For Toby Greene it's probably been his worst game of the year, in the biggest game of the year, when he is arguably GWS's most important player.

Well below par by his standard today.

And still had 19 disposals and 9 score involvements.

Mark of the elite when that is their down game. Worn like a glove by the AA full back all day, and still contributed

Yeah. They can play better I reckon.

 

[Orange Agent]

Best team won.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Well done GWS, hope you go all the way.

Proud of the way the boys fought it out, thought Marshall was enormous.

 

[HTPunter]

Injuries have hurt StKilda

Just change your club on here ffs you’re not fooling anyone

 

[Smeg Head]

How the * did they lose to us, could have been 12 venues.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Just change your club on here ffs you’re not fooling anyone

Give him a break, reckon he's on his 7th account by now.

Master of disguise, this guy.

 

[Mister B]

Umpire #15 may as well have worn a Sydney jumper last night.

I know you, you were the bloke sitting across the aisle from me sooking that Cartlon weren't getting holding the ball free kicks when they didn't even complete the tackle and complaining when penalised for tackling around the neck. Bunch of bandwagoners.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Wish Carlton hired Kingsley. Coach of the year IMO.

Giants are playing like the Tigs of 2017!

 

[Zevon]

Well done GWS, hope you go all the way.

Gracious post this. Respect

 

[Orange Agent]

Why did Melbourne trade Bedford?

He was out of contract and kept being used as the sub. Melb offered him a 3 year deal, they wanted to keep him but he wanted to play in the best 22.

Thought he was bog average TBH.

Almost got pinged 3 times for holding the ball, looked slow and had very little damage on the game. IMO disposals and score involvements are both very general, vague stats. If Callum Brown was playing instead of Toby Greene, the score would have probably been the same.

 

[HTPunter]

Marshall will rightly get plaudits for being so good but I thought Briggs really contributed in his own way and had some pivotal moments.

 

[Gavin Excell]

GWS 9 wins last 11?

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Higgins should enter the diving at the olympics.

Goes down as if shot evey time he's touched.

Callum Brown was playing though.

He didn’t get pinged 3 times in the end, finding safety in a stoppage and if half your disposals end up in scores that’s not “vague”, that’s impact.

Certainly not his best game but someone like Butler or Cordy had a “stinker”, Greene was just below his normally elite standard.

 

[Plugger35]

Well played Giants they were the better team today and deserved to win.

Disappointing performance from us but still a great effort to make the finals with all our injuries and playing a lot of inexperienced kids.

The umpires didn't do us many favours but can't really blame them for us losing.

I still blame the AFL for spoon feeding them so many top draft picks though, hard for clubs like us to compete when we just get the scraps.

The Suns will get spoon fed some more top draft picks this year so expect them to play finals next year too, such a compromised comp.

The Saints will keep fighting the good fight though against the odds like we usually do so write us off at your peril, we will be back again.

Winning well without the gun firing is a good sign. Similar Blues with Curnow.
