Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 13 - Crows v Lions Fri June 6th 7:40pm AEST (AO)

[timokane]

As thought was a classic at AO.
Lions gave away its hand in first half tho.
Felt flat footed after the main break.
Great game glad crows got the job done tho.
Helps the Pies and gives them a nice buffer up the top with a win on KB.

For anyone who cares...

Expected scores based on shot quality and positions last night:

Adelaide 56.2
Brisbane 89.3

Brisbane were -26.3 points of their expected score last night, the second worst differential this season of any team the season.

Yeah I dunno, 25 already and far from hitting his potential IMO.

Looked like a certain AA to me in the early days, don't feel like he's really improved that much over the last couple of years.
He seems to coast a bit, but then he's surrounded by talent so it's not like he's required to do a lot of heavy lifting.

Bailey has had a really good season. He always has a performance like last night lurking in him though. Quite often you see that inconsistency even within games - brilliant, clinical, high impact, then some baffling turnovers or errors.

I guess that's why he's earned the "maligned" tag by his own club's supporters. I think it's a bit unfair but I can see why he's frustrating.

I’m happy for the Crows that they’re on the way up, as a fellow non-vfl team.

But my god watching them defend a lead is like a scene from saving private ryan

It's honestly torture as a fan, the anxiety levels are through the roof.

 

[ams4crows]

Adelaide first quarter 0.6
Brisbane last quarter 0.8

Sums up the game pretty well

Both were kicking to the North end with the craziest swirling breeze, it's not surprising

Well it was lousy conditions. not many kick 89 in the rain and wind at an away ground.

Adelaide are going along great guns , and I even tipped them in a comp for the first time ever. even against my home team. and the Lions Sub is just Not a Premiership player sadly. Possibly could of won this match if could kick properly.

Sneaky chance of a Grand Final Preview too, this match was.

Of course, that’s all bullshit. Brisbane got so many shots in the last quarter because they didn’t get a goal and the ball stayed at their end.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Excellent point.

Adelaide premiership favourites and will have no issues winning it from 8th.

Ah my bad. I bow to your superior judgement.

That’s how we’re doing this right, by treating people who disagree with us with sarcasm and contempt?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yep.

With Collingwood, Brisbane and Geelong, one of only four teams that can win it....

I predicted Pies winning over Lions preseason... & I'm sticking to it.

An inexperienced finals team isn't winning a grand final unfortunately.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I rate the crows but I think you’re a good coach and a proper key defender away from consistent top 4. You may still make it all the way as is but more reliant on a bit of luck as is.

Agree on the coach.

Nick Murray is the key defender who should be back from injury soon.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Wait 59 game veteran Nick Murray is your best defender? Oh dear.

Indeed.

Gather you don't know much about him.

 

[Elixuh]

Indeed.

Gather you don't know much about him.

He’s a superstar of the competition of course I know him

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

He’s a superstar of the competition of course I know him

Where did I claim he was a superstar?

Now you are just being silly!

He is our best key defender which you forgot about it... or have nfi.

You mistake me, I am claiming he is a superstar of the competition. I follow him very closely.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No he is not!

Murray is a decent defender, but he's not amongst the top tier.

Interesting

You've completely misunderstood me. I submitted to your elevated intellect.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Na he was right, 5 goals in 8 forward entries is 'arse' and if you're relying on winning big games of footy on that return then it ain't gonna happen and even then the Lions still should have won..... a very lucky win and a game the Lions lost more-so than the Crows winning it.

Rubbish , that’s just terrible defense by Brisbane then.

Brisbane won the inside 50 count because Adelaide the way they were playing after retaking the lead in the 4th quarter

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Not really worried about tall defenders anymore , might not have an A grader but our best 3 are pretty good.

Might need a stronger clears mid

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Ah grandpa Fages fools another. Usually this type of take is reserved for a select few on the lions board. Welcome friend.

Can you elaborate please?

 

[Elixuh]

Can you elaborate please?

Grandpa Fages is the master of press conferences. He will never say anything of consequence and certainly never anything negative about the side. The worst I’ve heard is ‘we didn’t play our best today’. Don’t let grandpa Fages deceive you.

 

[paulige]

no-one will be able to change my mind. Will Ashcroft is a B grader. At very best. Does absolutely nothing with his disposals. Just shuts his eyes and scraps it forward.

Today change your mind Danny boy?

 

[iBeng]

Today change your mind Danny boy?

Hope he starts an Ashcroft thread

 

[DangerSloane]

Today change your mind Danny boy?

I mean he was wrong yeh, but dont you have better things to do after a flag than troll old game threads?

Says more about you than him tbh.

Has run a relentless campaign on talking brainless smack about Ashcroft. It’s come home to roost… again!

Nothing special about this thread, it was just one of about 1000 that showed under a very simple search.
