Well, the footy watching marathon continued last night, re-watching the finals. I'm sure most of you are doing likewise, awesomesauce :D I pondered to myself at the time, wondering over Joe's reaction after the boundary line goal against GWS....I'd really never seen him so animated and...

That's because you are at the pub mate :D

Just a shout-out to the other 22 people who tipped Lions by a lot. /flex :D

Pork sausages for me please

Froggy Lester - 1 premiership. Matthew Lloyd - 1 premiership AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D

Well, I watched the replay twice last night. Now watching all the Lace Out videos with various radio commentary. Because that's what you do - revel in footy pr0n :P But, thinking about everything and watching everything eleventy zillion times, I just cannot help but think of Browny's comment...

I second this. Operation threads ftw :D

Thanks mate - the back to back Crows were a favourite team of mine from that era - Jarman remains a footy God in my eyes. And Blighty totally deserved his flags.

Never stop believing :) It was another post that I read in the review after the GWS or Geelong thread which referenced our win against Sydney in 2003 which really cemented my belief that we could win this in a canter. And I also recalled how our threepeat team really was a foot on the throat...

I was :) I tipped us by 10 goals last Monday :D They just looked hungry and were riding a wave....Sydney, to be frank, relied on their midfielders kicking goals as their forward line was young and a work in progress......and it's hard to win GF's by relying on midfielders to kick a bag.

Nope :)

Never in doubt :)

Yep. :D

"That's my tip for the GF - Lions by 10 goals." Never In Doubt :D LIONS LIONS LIONS LIONS LIONS LIONS LIONS :D

Pistols at 12 yards, Good Sir!! You have besmirched my honour and I demand satisfaction!!

In the dark of the night I believe. In the cold light of the day, I believe. When the ball is bounced and the struggles begins anew, The focus shifts And I believe. When the goal is kicked and the breath is ragged, with the supporters silent, I believe. When all seems lost, the path forward...

If Katy Perry DOESN'T sing Roar....SHE'S pissweak :D

Damn we're sexy :)

Yeah, I get the footy aspect insofar as fitness goes. My discussion point stems from him simply not having sufficient time and opportunity to prove his fitness - the known points revolve around the length of time it takes as an average and that he wasn't going to have the benefit of a full game...

Yeah, I've watched that slow mo replay a dozen times....it's magnificent to see the artistry behind the action.

Dude, if he plays, if he doesn't play, makes no difference to my confidence, at all. You lot could trot out your 22 from any of your GF's this week and I'd still be confident. It's a discussion point, nothing more.

And that's my point - I contend that Longmire HASN'T learnt his lesson. If he needed a full game under the belt in the eyes of the coaches etc, then the fitness test today was irrelevant and the decision could have been made a week ago. But what is being reported and what hasn't been otherwise...

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be pretty pissed if I was told I had to do xyz, did xyz, and then got told nah.

I'm in the opposite camp.... More Lid Off threads!! More "OPERATION" threads!! :D But then, I never ever give up on our guys - unless it becomes mathematically impossible. Which isn't always a good thing, since optimism as a supporter takes you only so far....after which the cold, hard data...

"Mills left coach John Longmire’s office “in tears” after the meeting that confirmed his fate, according to Channel 7 reporter Ryan Daniels." Link Man, I really really hope it's a psyche out, because otherwise it just isn't a good look, given they could have ruled him out a week ago.

Well...it could be a Sheedy era psyche out I suppose. Rule him out Wednesday, name him on Thursday.

Yep, it is totally bizarre and seems to have wasted time and energy for.....what?

What a farce....he did the recovery, went through the process, appeared on camera during and following the session to proclaim he trained at 100% and felt great..... ....and the coaches still ruled him out. Sorry, but the whole thing has been handled in such a ham-fisted way that I again...

Mills update: I feel this scenario, unfortunately for the Swans, is one of those where whatever you do it will be wrong....but you'll only know that afterwards. They really should have come out strongly and decisively and ruled him out/in earlier - because regardless of what they do now...
