Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 5 - Demons v Lions Thurs April 11th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

[Lionheart182]

No evidence he couldn't take it just made the Lion player look petty. But I've come to expect this from Fagans Lions

No evidence, really??

 

[PCORF]

Glad I picked the Lions. I was fairly confident they were going to win this one and hopefully this gets them back on track and they can start putting together a winning run. Cameron was good and his takedown on Lever in the 1st quarter, no love lost between them.

Most teams (but not all teams) who have beaten Adelaide in recent years seem lose the week after.

 

[SBYM]

What the * was that, Melbourne?

 

[Plugger35]

Abbey Holmes is underrated, one of the better women working in the footy media.

Much better than Daisy Pearce and Erin Phillips even though she wasn't as good at playing footy as them.

 

[CarterS]

6 weeks for having a go at Petty

6 weeks for having a go at Petty

Wonder if there will be a phone call about it.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Simon says: "Three games in 13 days .... but I'm not using that as an excuse". Then why mention it at all?

 

[010203]

That was more like it from the Lions bar the last 5 minutes of the match. What will impress Fages is +22 for tackles. No skill required for that.

 

[gillon]

The media are going to talk about the Petty sledge more than the actual game, aren’t they?

He's had benders longer than that

the worst player in the game at the moment?

 

[garlic munchers]

Hope Melbourne don’t walk away from that thinking they weren’t far off in the end. That margin well and truly flattered them. Smashed all night.

Nah, the opposite.

Prefer them to think they were close and get all starry eyed as opposed to weepy eyed.

 

[Daka]

Stats aren't everything but I think this is pretty telling!

 

[Elixuh]

Headless why is Viney holding a medieval sword in the Demon's official gameday graphic? Is he into LARPing?

Oh, it's hard to know the timeframe on the sword, Elixuh. My guess is he's taking it to be cleaned, but there is inconveniently a blurry lion in the way. Thankfully, Christian Petracca is there with a white football to save the day!

The dead lifeless look in his eyes tells me he has cut men down with that sword

Had one deluded fellow next to me putting it down to the “back to back” trips to Adelaide.

Apparently a couple of 1 hour flights is enough to drain the legs.

Don’t mention the fact we were playing in Adelaide 6 days ago, to their 7, and had to travel to… this game?

 

[Miluxx]

Gotta feel for Melbourne, if it weren’t for those pesky umpires (and the extra 60 possessions, 9 clearances, and 30 odd tackles that the Lions had), they probably win that!

Best comment so far.

 

[Xtreme]

Beating the "highly fancied" Melbourne... and doing it at the mighty MCG (Brisbane's kryptonite) shows that Brisbane are back in town.... and will make the grand final again!!

She was just as good, her issue was she did her knees multiple times when the aflw started so never got a good run at it.
Her local footy was far better

 

[mikey127]

Where are all the 'Lions can't play at G' posters

 

[Stax on the mill]

You’re another!! It must be school holidays or something.

A gracious loser as always, eh Fitzey?

 

[melbun]

Awful. About as bad as I have seen from the Demons in the last few years.
One side came to play. The other didn't.

 

[Shinboner '07]

We played the lions into scary good form lol

 

[melbun]

I liked Lever's goal kicking. Move him to CHF!
