Game Day Around The Grounds - The Prelims - 2024

[BolshyAust]

Unfortunate that arrogant ball lost to a team that didn't make the GF, yet an injury ravaged team, most to a GF team. #hawks

I tried but Google translate gave me nothing

 

[DangerousD]

I don't think they're the most well drilled team in the competition by a long shot but I challenge anyone to find a coach who gets his players to play with more heart for the jumper.

They have had a fantastic list for a fair few years now, yet they have continued to fall short, if they lose next week, people will point to a 5th place finish that cost them.

I think they should have already won a premiership and when a team has a great list but can’t get the job done, questions start to be asked, why?

If they win next week, it will be nice for Fabian and put a bit more respect on his name.

 

[DEliades]

I ****ing hate brisbane. Full of flogs that side.

 

[Bletch]

Swans 125-year wait for revenge over the Lions is over. Time to make up for their heart-breaking one point loss in 1899.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Lester

He is very underrated I reckon, not even in the bests either

 

[DangerousD]

Just watched the free paid against Stewart for bumping Lohmann and gee what a stuff up by that ump.

The ump in the vision can be heard giving three seperate reasons for being a free kick, none of which are correct.

First calls it a hold, then changes to front in contact, then changes to unreasonable contact.

Firstly, bumps are legal, second it’s not a marking contest, there’s no rule that says you can’t tackle or bump front on and what makes a bump that’s not high or late, unreasonable?

Finals or not, that’s terrible and I hope we don’t see BS like that next week.

 

[passmark]

There is.

Oh yes of course.

What a dill

A wag on the AbC radio said whoever wins they’re gunna party like it’s 1899.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

What’s the actual free kick though against Stewart? Not in the back, not high, ball within 5 metres

Perfectly executed bump, which is 100% legal

Lohmann did well to take it and then play a really good game afterwards

Ump said it was to forceful…..I ****ing kid you not

Half watched the game whilst entertaining family but caught enough to get some good perspective.


Geelong, a super successful, strong club the last 20 years, who are extremely well coached, continued to blindly throw the ball on the boot and bomb the ball forward to know real targets in particular, in their most important game of the season and still only went down by 10 points.

In the second half, even though the kicking was blind and rushed, the talls of Geelong were terrible at marking the ball, forwards better in the air would have swallowed a few more and taken some pressure off.

Two weeks in a row Brisbane looked buried and had been outplayed, but they are hard at it and keep running, luckily for them, they had one of their better days in front of goal.

Everytime i see Cameron, Bailey, Rayner, Lohman getting on the end of a chain, i dream of how good they would be in navy Blue.

Rayner is a double edged sword. Should have had a ridiculous career choc full of highlights considering the powerful footy physique, and the the explosive speed, but he's very under performing and inconsistent. If he could put it all together for a few weeks in a row he'd be pretty much unstoppable, but he continues to be hot and cold.

We need more consistent players, we have enough with fluctuating form.

 

[Juddrockz]

Suprise,suprise the Lions won. Im not one bit suprised.

 

[DigbysLovechild]

How good is footy!

That game had everything, including about 5 goals that are better than the actual Goal Of The Year nominees.

Congratulations Lions, brilliant win.

 

[bmaurizio]

Great game Lions, they’re energized with positive momentum and belief.
Ah Chee, Ryner , Cameron and Lohman brilliance will get them over the line next week too. They’ve played a great finals campaign.

Add Bailey to that quartet if he could tidy up his normally very good goal kicking. Missed a few in recent weeks, I'm thinking he's due for a big one next week.

 

[Arr0w]

Don't care who wins it from here, just hope it's a cracking game

And Ashcroft.
And Neale who we know has an ankle injury.
Look at me all biased and lovey since they are my new airport besties.

 

[passmark]

Who wins? The side that plays the extra game and traveled twice it or the team with the two home victories?

Brions should benefit from exposure to a really hard game at tge GF venue.

 

[DangerousD]

It’s was a free kick.

What for? What rule?

COVID, gastro and hamstrings: The misfortune in Geelong’s preliminary final heartbreak

Coach Chris Scott said he will struggle to sleep in the coming nights. There are no shortages of what ifs that will keep him up.

That McInerney shoulder could be the critical factor if the Lions have to play Fort against Grundy. Pretty evenly matched otherwise.

 

[DangerousD]

Rough conduct. 18.7.1 and 18.7.2

If an act is legal, which a bump is and the bump is legal, which it was, rough conduct doesn’t apply, also 18.7.2 in the rules of the game, mentions several instances of what constitutes a free kick, none of which are a bump.

18.7.1
Players shall be protected from unreasonable conduct from an opposition player that is likely to cause injury.

It’s easy to see how an umpire can make a mistake but its hard to see after the fact, how people think a legal bump is unreasonable conduct.

What part of the bump was unreasonable? There’s nothing in these two rules that relates to the incident.
