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

[Yesterday Dog]

Embarrasing loss Brisbane Bears. Embarassing

 

[Fitzey]

Oh so BT does do Roaming Brian when Collingwood win? He was sulking last week.

He’s like a fanboy, it’s embarrassing for 7

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Brisbane had the chance to do the funniest thing, instead Collingwood did the funniest thing to them

0-3

Two losses at home

Shambles

 

[Plugger35]

Roaming Boofhead is back now the Pies have had a win, he couldn't get in the Pies changerooms quick enough.

They need to lock the door to the showers or he will be in there too.

 

[My Tilly]

Brisbane will crash and burn like St Kilda did under Ross the boss.

[tomcruise]

Ohhhh David King... why is your head so big, when your face is just so small?

 

[Tigerandy63]

Never seen a team promise so much but deliver so little as Brisbane over the last 5 years. Had an opportunity to virtually bury Collingwood’s season & blew it at home. Joe Daniher one of the league’s biggest front runners. I lost count how many marks he dropped.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Massive relief. Just needed a win.

Hopefully it’s a launching pad for better things to come in 2024.

 

[Dez!]

It's hilarious how s**t Zorko is.

 

[SSSSSS]

Are you capable of some half intelligent analysis of the actual game, instead of brain dead whining about the umpires.

It's pretty clear that it was a one sided affair. There's really not much else to say.

You got the rub of the green. I don't think many would disagree with that.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

As I said, blood the kids. No more Zorkos & Lesters please and with the injuries we have, it gives us a proper chance to blood them now.

Season is a write off but if the list management is done properly, we can easily bounce back.

Lol chill out. You've got a great side.

 

[Plugger35]

Craig Macrae's parents looked thrilled to get harassed by BT.

He moved on quick when he realised that it was his step mother.

That was awkward.

 

[Captivating]

Just press Red for Ed.

how drunk are you tonight

 

[My Tilly]

A bit like Sidebottom, Pendlebury & Elliott?

How did Pendlebury and Elliott go tonight?

 

[CCurnow3votes]

How did Pendlebury and Elliott go tonight?

Pendlebury had a shocker - his time is done.

Elliott on the other hand ..

 

[Yesterday Dog]

I'm picking up the vibe that the lions are your second team, so i will try to assuage you from your concerns.

i'm often a glass half-full supporter. But i struggle to see the 'outside 8 for many years' as written in the stars.

It's always fraught trying to say where sides will be in future years but i'll try, adding 3 years to each player:

Should still be guns: Dunkley, McCluggage, Aschroft, Coleman, Andrews

Too early to call but very early picks and a lot of promise: Ashcroft Junior, Fletcher (that bloke you tried to pinch for us ha)

High potential but yet to reach potential: Bailey, Rayner, Wilmot, Payne (who you tried to pinch from us also)

Solid best 22 players (who might improve): Hipwood, Ah Chee, McKenna

Even assume Zorko, Neale, Daniher, Cameron, McCarthy, Doedee, Gardiner, Lester and others are write offs through age, it's still not a bad list of talent, barring major injuries (no more knees please!) or an exodus.

Cameron and Daniher loom as very hard to replace and i think it looks like this year we can't contend, and 25/26 could be years in which Cameron, Neale, Daniher going downhill means we slip down the ladder. Our forward line in particular could be really hit by Daniher, McCarthy and Cameron being basically the same age.

There is no guarantee we can stay contenders - as in actually capable of winning a flag - but if the list is well-managed from here we shouldn't return to those dark days you allude to.

Rebuild

 

[MagpieJo]

Pies going to struggle against the Hawks and Power without Pendles for the next 2. They have the old sloth Sidebottom coming back though.

Doubt it, I reckon he needs a rest.

 

[hutchy31]

92 points conceded in three quarters (second quarter scoreless for the pies).

Fortress Gabba indeed.

 

[RAPPA]

Grandpa Fagan ready for the nursing home

 

[Cool Kangas]

Yes. An 0-3 start means I do not think we can win the flag.

Toffee Lion - you are being somewhat ridiculous. Just saying. As I said earlier in this thread, the Roos will play you back into form next week. Let’s reconvene then

 

[Boppo]

Grandpa Fagan ready for the nursing home

Whole team needs a rebuild. Neale joined a club in the cusp that has become a retirement home.

 

[davemc_lions]

Pies wanted it more
Although how many games do the Pies get the rub of the green in the last Quarter.

I think they won like 6 games with help from the umps last year.
GWS robbed in finals
Crows twice, Port, Cats and Saints
Just a sec mainly interstate teams screwed over
That is ok.. it is the VFL

Fitzey, you're a real riot.

Don’t forget the granny. Lions should have won but umps got us over the line.

Even our 80 point win on the Gold Coast was thanks to the men in green
