Autopsy Round 24, 2025: Lions get the chocolates

[Strapping Young Lad]

Couldn’t go with them.

Onto finals.

Go at it.

 

[brew]

When the whips are really cracking… always come up short.

 

[Xtreme]

Think CJ should spend 3 seasons exclusively at Box Hill

Too many mistakes

 

[user33]

Umpires best on for the lions.

Battle and Ginni best for us.

CJ and Breust out for Morrison and Weddle.

Happy for Worpel to leave the club right now.

We just haven’t been able to put it 100% together this year.

 

[BuddwaGOAT]

Bye bye Worpel

 

[HawthornHawk]

Fought hard but they are just a class above in the midfield which makes it hard. Proud of the team, umpires can GAGF

 

[A1fromDay1]

Premiership sides win on the road, that we do not...

Last 5 interstate games
Port L
Suns L
Freo L
Crows L
Lions L

 

[dcutter]

My god we need another elite midfielder

Let them walk it out of defence to the wing with absolute ease way too many times

Gave it out best, still can't quite run with the big dogs

 

[Ned Ryerson]

If that’s how Worpel is going to perform in a high stakes game then let’s replace him next week. Deplorable.

 

[Hawker_85]

We can only hope the remainder of the season is officiated better than that load of tripe.

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Didn’t effect the result, but……

If you’re not naming a midfielder as the sub, you’re not doing it right.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Haven’t been able to win a big game on the road like that all season
Midfield lacks one or two A graders to step up when the games up for grabs

 

[Atch]

We looked the worser team all night.

 

[fabulon31]

Brisbane made up for some poor goal kicking with some sweet decisions from the umpires..

 

[hk89]

Just couldn't go with their midfield depth. Needs to be urgently addressed during trade week.

 

[Mitchyy]

Lions very good when it mattered. Not sure where CMAC fits at the moment, he just looks unsure of himself a fair amount of time.

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

Same problem, lacking top line mids to compete with the best, they smashed us in the contest.
Though I feel like Brisbane needs some more draft assistance, perhaps the AFL can help.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Still got next week. We won't play like that again

 

[Since 2001]

Cmac, terrible game. Real shame.

Worpel, play out the finals and good luck in geelong, just not good enough.

Cj, I have no words. Go join your brother at the pies or go to stk

Umpires, well what can you say. Home ground advantage comes with home ground free kicks and missed free kicks.

Onto GWS, cmon hawks!

 

[Jethro!]

I'd really hate to become one of those also ran finals teams like the Saints, Dogs and Port. That's probably the most painful spot to be.

Newk really needs a support. We got smashed around the ball tonight. Just couldn't get our game going at all.

Feels like an almost year from us.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Lack of composure at times but can hold our heads high.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Bye bye Worpel

Still got a final

 

[Off The Couch]

Off to Perth we go
Edit: I’ve been duly slapped - apparently GWS
Reality is, it don’t really matter, we are travelling

We gave it a good shot but we were outclassed

Tonight only reinforces how badly we need some quality midfielders

 

[MinerBoy]

Premiership sides win on the road that we do not...

Last 5 interstate games
Port L
Suns L
Freo L
Crows L
Lions L

Tonight was huge. We can win… but that record isn’t great

 

[Billyc]

Effort was great. We hung in there but really, we were well beaten for 3 quarters.

Disappointing but we’re just not as good as the Lions. Our midfield just isn’t strong enough

Off to the Giants cow paddock I expect . Don’t think we will get past that. Hopefully SCG instead
