Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 4 - Tigers v Lions Sat April 5th 4:15pm AEDT (MCG)

[Free Agent]

Brother in Christ we are 4-0, started last year 0-3 and this your take? You obviously don’t have a good football mind.

Lions are dead to me. If you can't get above a 50 point win at the minimum against Richmond you are proven no good.
Lions are one hit wonders. This year no forward line. Against the big teams will be found out. You'd have to bomb it in there 100 times. You'd get killed in Finals with that forward line.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Aww, 4 points and the Premiership not enough for you? You want everyone praising every Brisbane player too?

Literally not a big deal

Then don’t make it one

 

[tiger_tough]

Happy with that effort. The kids showed plenty. Lalor loves the G.

 

[juss]

Pretty content with that result. Good signs again from a few of the talented kids getting amongst the goals again.

Was thinking we'd cop another thrashing but 28 points is a pretty solid effort.

 

[bungalow_bill]

The Lions merely toying with their food.

Yes cue was in the rack. Lions could have put the foot down and won by 80+ easily but there's no point in risking injuries in a certain win. And they need to conserve energy for a long season.

Levi looking like another superstar Ashcroft

 

[darcytiger]

The Ashcrofts are unreal

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Ashcrofts x 2 are such a luxury!

Personally loved Lalor's game. 24 possess and 10 score involvements was fantastic for us. Armstrong showed a bit. Trainor went ok too. Much to like for the future.

Seth Campbell too, so talented around goals.

Lions don't just bomb it in, do they? They are usually super precise going inside 50.

 

[FFB1]

Richmond will win another flag before Essendon, St Kilda and Footscray.

 

[windyhill]

A Larkey sighting !

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

Armstrong has a horrific ball drop.

Not really, it looks bad and isn't what most should be taught, but he actually guides it down with his hand most of the way and kicks it at the right time. Seems to have worked for him in juniors. Missed some shots he should've gotten in the first few rounds so far, but think he will gain confidence

What about Fitzroy ?

 

[FFB1]

What about Fitzroy ?

Really?

 

[windyhill]

Really?

Footscray ?

 

[jonnobackpocket]

You seem frustrated, I would be too if my side took the foot off the pedal and let us kick 5 in the last.

Kick last 5 and lose by 5- yeah top effort, congrats.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

You never know when percentage will make a difference at the end of the home and away season.

Big teams? Like last years Grand finalists and preliminary finalists?

Yeah rekon the 4 points is more important, you really getting up and about because you kept our percentage down a little bit. ? The lions were in 2nd gear for whole last quarter and a half.

Yep Lions were in cruise mode.

No they don't, mostly they slice and dice their way inside 50.

No. You don't understand at all. Imagine the Lions miss out on a top 4 spot by a small percentage at the end of the year. You can then look back and say in this game the fact they cruised in the last cost them a top 4 spot. You just never know.

Yes that may be a concern. But there's also what if the Lions went full tilt and lost a key player to injury. Just play it safe and get the W without any injuries is the best way to go. You also don't want to be playing your best footy in April if there's no need.

 

[voorhees]

Happy with that effort. The kids showed plenty. Lalor loves the G.

yep..two teams swimming in different pools.
at times it was men vs boys.
Still happy with how the tige's are tracking along.

Most injuries are accidents and not because you are going full tilt. How many injuries did you get in the first half when you were going full tilt? This is a myth that is propagated time and time again.
