Game Day 2nd Prelim Final Geelong v Brisbane Sat Sept 21 2024 515pm @ MCG

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

How did my boy Bruhn play?

He's a B grader at best, but you know that.

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Reckon they wanted it more. These boys have never won a flag. It might have made a difference. Think we did well to hit the front but not our night in the end.

 

[Baudolino]

Can someone please tell me wtf Stengle was doing tonight, everything he touched turned to shit

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Oh well not good enough on the day and injuries played a part. Plus their midfield was outstanding and fwds and backs, just everyone

 

[Pure_Ownage]

We played some mighty insipid footy, and were unable to execute the basic skills of footy for a portion of the game.

You can't do that on the big stage.

I agree with that. Its disappointing because sydney are the worst best team in years and gifting them a flag is criminal. The only upside is it might accelerate some ruthlessness with our list management but thats no consolation for me. Its crazy because in the 2nd qtr our skills were so so good but that went to water in the last qtr.

 

[Cataholic]

Rhys has played his last game. Duncan too and rohan and a couple of others should go also. Sad way for it to end but they have had good careers.

Yeah, Rhys tried hard, but their race is run.

 

[DangerHere]

**** I hate everything atm been a terrible few weeks and now this ****ing shit

**** it all

Take care, if you need to talk to good people they have contact numbers

 

[CatToTheFuture]

How did my boy Bruhn play?

Yeah bad

 

[kickazz]

Midfield outclassed and we lack fitness and run. Holmes injury costly. Did well to hang in there.

If we won Swans would have belted us next week.

 

[DV2000]

Duncan and Stanley shit all year.

Not Stanley. He has been critical for us in key games (early rounds when we were near the top of the ladder) and the QF)

 

[winty]

Things turned as soon as Holmes went off. We just became short a mid which against theirs is terminal unfortunately.

Nah, it changed when McInerney went off.

 

[numbwombat]

Lost it when Maxy went down. Was meant to be a rebuilding year but still pretty gutting. Brissy are a good team - hope they can take it up to the swans

 

[catman2006]

Disappointing to say the least, we just didn't handle the conditions early and set the tone for an average performance, all credit to the lions they beat us and we will rue as a missed opportunity.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Nah we lost it in the 3rd we had them on a rack but poor work in the midfield threw it away. So disappointing because sydney will beat brisbane by 60 because they will be cooked. At least we know what the GF result will be.

We would've gone in cooked too and lost by similar I reckon. Still pretty disappointing

 

[Tackle_happy]

Losing Holmes hurt a lot.

Hope it burns during summer for the boys.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Extremely disappointing loss

 

[Gavin Excell]

Can someone please tell me wtf Stengle was doing tonight, everything he touched turned to shit

Played like a millionaire

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I know we're all disappointed with this result, but I'm proud of the team for the year they've put together. They finished tenth last year and made it a preliminary final this year. That's a mighty effort. It sucks to lose, but Brisbane got the job done when it counted. Good luck to them next week.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

We would've gone in cooked too and lost by similar I reckon. Still pretty disappointing

God that was disappointing. So Many poor players.
Stewart…. Stanley should have gone beserk with the big o off. Instead he hits the post from 5mts out to give us a glimmer of hope…

 

[r32godzilla]

Shit the bed in the second half. Can't win a big final playing one decent quarter. Gutted.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Can someone please tell me wtf Stengle was doing tonight, everything he touched turned to shit

Everything everyone touched turned to shit

 

[catstorm]

Well the way the umps got Brisbane back into the game in the 3rd seems pretty clear the AFL wanted an all interstate GF.

Ensures they can’t both shit the bed and we can get rid of this Vic Bias bullshit.

Sad Geelong was the victim of it though.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Yeah, Rhys tried hard, but their race is run.

The debate about whether it would have been better to play sdk will rage for a long time. I suspect if we knew omac would get winged we would have played sdk not stanley. Rhys lacked mobility. That and holmes hamstring cost us a lot.

 

[mcwilrob]

Duncan and Stanley shit all year.

I thought Stanley was not totally shite tonight (except shanked shot near end)

 

[Pollywaffle]

We wouldn’t have beaten Sydney next week, especially with Holmes out

At least he doesn’t get the double heartbreak.
Jeez how would he feel
