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

[Mr Meow]

Didn't love the look of the Lions not staying out for Mitchell's 200th but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that someone at the club didn't brief them

There's no excuse given Mitchell looks like a bloke who has played 350 games.

Still one of your most important cogs though. The midfield lacks grunt without him playing at least your standard Tom Mitchell 7.5/10 game.

 

[South of the Yarra]

lol pathetic pies

Yeah lol

 

[Stax on the mill]

Here here. Everyone went on about how likable Fly's Pies were, and it turned me off them even more. I disliked the Pies since the Eddie era (was indifferent before), but I've never hated a side more than 2023 Collingwood, maybe with Hawthorn, Sydney, Geelong sides close. Yeah with the help of the green. I'll never acknowledge the 2023 as a fairly won flag (cue Pies fans bringing up 2018), just a sign of how corrupt the AFL has become.

At least you can enjoy your back to back wooden spoon trophies. Hopefully that makes you feel a little better.

Love the pies but 200 is not an all in for all teams, save it for something bigger

200 games guard of honour? Should all teams start staying out for 50 game milestones as well?

 

[Fadge]

Lions wont be a serious flag threat with Fagan in charge

Bloke just not hard enough and the clubs needs to move him on asap before the talent expires

Um, they got within 4 points of a premiership as recently as last year....

Does a team have to win a flag to be a 'flag threat'?

Pies were cleaner with the ball and were fitter and deserved to win but FMD they got a couch ride and a half by the colour blind officials. And I was in one of the corporate boxes.

Does being in a corporate box enable you to better critique the standard of umpiring?

 

[Fadge]

Indeed.

And there should be media articles ranking each one of those 50 games like there was for Daicos last week....

 

[FireKrakouer]

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

My favourite part was you including the first Crows game and the Geelong game. Have some dignity, son.

 

[FireKrakouer]

And de Goey penalised for deliberate as he kicked the ball away from Murphy being helped off the ground by the trainers with a bloody nose

That was the worst series of umpiring errors I've ever seen. Player punched in the head front on and concussed while going for a mark, no free. Then umpires fail to stop play while said concussed player is being carried from the ground, then umpire pays a free against DeGoey for doing their job for them and taking the ball out of bounds to kill play due to an injured player being in the way.

You gotta love old mate above suggesting the umps favoured us in that game v Adelaide

 

[JustaBattler]

Take Lauchie out of that game - and Brisbane lose by 10 goals last night - the game turned as soon as he rolled his ankle. De Goey ran through a few the soft Brisbane mids like they were tissue paper - a few Brisbane players were channeling kidgoat tackling technique last night.

 

[Doggy]

I feel for Brisbane ...

 

[Juddernaut08]

damn bris letting us down. now pies avoid owen4 and the blues win in rd 0 is meaningless

 

[iGNITER]

Good win Pies. Always good to get an interstate win.

So we will knock Carlton over by 19. If a win at the Gabba is the measuring stick. Not surprised really.

Carlton ended Brisbane's season in round 0 - the rest of teh teams are feasting on a carcass.

of course you will - keep dreaming.

Yes

 

[Fadge]

Yes

Hard to argue with that logic...

 

[VinnieB]

lol pathetic pies

You were so excited for the opportunity…..fell like a lead balloon.

 

[VinnieB]

Frampton best backman on the ground.
Destroyed Daniher and got a bit of the ball.

 

[Doc1763]

Reckon Rayner might have him.

lol, no one is falling for Rayner's faux tough guy act. massive downhill skier, as shown in the Grand Final.

 

[Doc1763]

Fagan is borderline senile

The Joe Biden of the AFL

 

[Doc1763]

De Goey could go for a 6 week “hammy” if the pies go 0-4 and he keeps playing like this. I’m concerned.

Oh, the irony!!!

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

You can see from the Lions players social media posts that the players spent wayyyyy too much time on overseas Contiki tours this offseason and not enough time wanting to win a flag.

Surprised that Mr Professional Josh Dunkley
