Autopsy AFL 2025 First Qualifying Final - Crows v Pies Thursday Sept 4th 7:40pm AEST/7:10pm CST (AO)

[DangerSloane]

Get used to it.

You'll be hearing a lot of it tomorrow night.

What you going to chant it every time they pan to the players not playing in the crowd?

 

[YeoShuey]

3 of the 4 umpires for this QF are the same ones from this matchup a few weeks ago and that was umpired horrifically. Never change AFL

 

[Cyclops]

we lose tomorrow night we will be out in straight sets. its a south aussie thing... anything port do the crowws can do better

I have a feeling this QF is the straight sets side of thd draw, for either side if they lose.

The winner still has Geelong and Brisbane to face in the prelim or gf, that side seems less cut throat at least fir thd double chancers.

Cox in, huge mistake.

Adelaide by 30.

Nah, big game player.

Looking for a Richmond friend.

 

[parano1a]

Cox in, huge mistake.

That's premiership player Mason Cox. McStay is out of form and sore, it was the right call.

 

[Wosh]

Teams are up

 

[Xtreme]

Adelaide should win by 10 goals.

Cox in, huge!

That's what she said....

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Ahh McStay. Admittedly a good dude, but getting dropped for some Parker dude. Damn.

No, I think they're talking about 2025 season averaging 3.9 kicks, 3hb, 2.5 marks Mason Cox.
And he didnt even get that against Adelaide in rd10.
Terrible call.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Cox has kicked 2 goals for the year. Sure he tore it up against Richmond in the finals, but that was 7 years ago. Looks a bit desperate to bring him in now.
McStay out is a slap in the face, they don't have confidence in him.

Yeh McStay has spudded it up with the best of them. But getting dropped for Cox and some other young dude. Wow.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Jesus Collingwood are going to get annihilated aren't they

 

[Osho]

Don't underestimate premiership coach Craig Mac. A very tall mobile Cox could create enough spoils and ground ball for Pies to get the extra goals needed. I'm sure its part of a broader strategy to create some unpredictability. There are winners and learners.

Another Crow Throw festival.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Another Crow Throw festival.

So long as we don't have another game where the umpires lift for the Pies, particularly in the closing minutes of games.

Hopefully the best side really does win.

 

[voorhees]

When the answer is Mason Cox, you just know they're praying for a 2018 PF miracle.

yeah...there reaching

 

[Rotayjay]

I honestly do not have a good feeling about this game. We only just beat them last time and were lucky to win. I think the breaking of the hoodoo and the loss of Rankine cancel each other out. Pies by 8 points.

 

[Rotayjay]

Draw shouldn't be a poll option for finals, since it's impossible.

 

[Rotayjay]

I feel the importance of qualifying finals can be underrated due to both sides having the double chance. However, I think if we win this game we are a very good chance for the flag, and if we lose you can almost write us off. I don't see us winning an away preliminary final.

Unlike our most recent encounter.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Unlike our most recent encounter.

We are still very much in deficit!!!
