Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 3 - Lions v Pies Thurs March 28th 7:30pm AEDT (Gabba)

Very much so but unlike Brissie, those players have achieved something and I trust them to have a better game. More so, this Brisbane team is extremely overrated and it's the very definition of a must-win for Collingwood.

In what way do you believe we are over rated? Genuine question. Not having a go. I'd say we are more chokers/underperformed come September then anything.

This year we seem to be have some genuine worries with injuries. Which we haven't really had in the past.

I think it all comes down to whether the extra week off helps or hinders Brisbane. Either it interrupts their momentum and they're left flat footed and the Pies roll them, or they'll have the legs to run over the Pies. Or there's a bit of both. Danger game for Brisbane even if they're favourites, need to play with some mongrel. They're vulnerable. If Collingwood beat them at the Gabba, it will give them confidence to start winning and square the ledger. Season over if either loses, huge for both.

Personally I am not writing off whichever team loses. I expect both teams to make the 8.

You don't have a line breaking midfielder. They are all workhorses who are very good at what they do but like the Western Bulldogs, no one can grab the ball and take off from stoppages.
McInerney is one dimensional. Great at punching the footy down the line but offers very little else. Has not taken a single mark so far this season.

I just think their list has been overrated this summer. Desperately need Hipwood & Rayner to take that next step and become consistent footballers.

Ouch. Def a legit chance to go 0-6 if we drop the Pies game.

North (in Adelaide) next week, then those other 3.

Wilmot is the one we are hoping turns into a Blakey type. Still developing but has been lacking his regular impact. Coleman is a huge loss in regards to line breaking ability. Not so much run and carry.

Big O has struggled for sure. Against some competent rucks in the first 2 weeks though.

Rayner has been a big dissapointment for sure. Shows glimpses but rarely delivers.

I agree with most of what your saying however. But we still have Ashcroft and Doedee to come back in aswell as Mckenna who can add plenty of run off half back if he can get his hammie right.

There's something off with us at the moment. Interesting times ahead if we go 1 and 6 by rd 7.

A break will help players with niggles settle down instead of making it worse. They really didn't have much momentum anyway, I don't see how rest is a negative thing particularly with someone like Neale who had a hamstring complaint.

You cannot wait to hear Country Road either!

Collingwood haven’t beaten the Lions at the Gabba since 2019.

Can’t see it happening this week.

0/4 on its way .

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Really didn't want to agree with the welcher who did the previous post, but I'm not brimming with confidence for this one

I feel like Brisbane will get over the line but I'd like the pies to show some ticker

If Pies, go 0-4 they're no longer a contender this season, no one has won the flag being 0-3 let alone 0-4.
Can they make finals? that's even debatable if they lose this match? it's possible records are made to be broken but I don't think they come back from here if they lose this game the wind will be out of sails.

 

[Lingsface]

Is Neale back?

 

[DreadBat5701894]

Is Neale back?

He should be

 

[blueiris]

I was looking forward to Doedee playing so disappointing

 

[FreoGirl]

Pies didn't make many changes. Is that good or bad? Sidebottom was the only one omitted.

 

[SplintWhisky]

Sidebottom listed as managed on the AFL website.

Bloke must be a fiend on the bags on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

 

[Wosh]

Teams are up, don't forget to get your tips in

 

[blueiris]

Pretty sure Dizzy got injured against Fremantle but is Omitted Seems strange to name Fort with Big O and Daniher already playing Lyons is stiff to miss

His form has been poor being managed/dropped whatever you want to call it is that ain't surprising.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Sidebottom managed? Haha

Who's next, Darcy '3rd man up' Moore?
