Some genuine melts around here. Lol

Been along time.

 

[maryjames]

Absolute stitch up this. If the umpires let us play we win.

Agreed

 

[Play it Sam]

A few players trying to do too much and win the game off their own boot.
Menegola notably, despite his good season has always been a hungers and don't want to see any more of that tonight.

 

[Grimoz]

Danger having no influence, needs to get in the middle and go beast mode, we lose the 3rd quarter and we are done they will be too fresh for us.

 

[Turbocat]

We have to get a forward tag on rich and hawkins needs to get on his bike and not let andrews intercept mark.

He does that so much better when we have otehr marking options

 

[Spazz Cat]

Do you think the AFL need Brissy in the Granny?
keep Danger forward for mine. Will win us the game if we are allowed

 

[coylez]

BIG 3rd quarter coming up. This is where we lost it last prelim. Don't let it happen again!

 

[Tiger71]

Make no mistake, you are not just fighting the Lions but also the Umpires who obviously want and need the lions in a GF. You are good enough to still win though and clearly can lift a few more gears.

Good luck!

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

Menegola and Miers hearing footsteps. That Menegola miss might be telling. Not good enough

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Who do the AFL really want in the Grand Final? Of course it’s brisvegas. So the cats need to play extra well to win this.

Yes, converting chances would be key. Menegola gets the goal or kicks to Hawkins, Miers doesn't drop a sitter... A lot of forward entries just blazing away to nothing, allowing them to intercept. Could have a lot more separation even with the umpiring. Reminiscent of last year's prelim. Hopefully they can show up after the break this time.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

We should be 5+ goals up.

 

[Bay Pie]

That first half was some of the most diabolical umpiring, I've ever seen.

You guys are getting reamed. Glad it's not the Pies or my TV would have some holes in it. Crazy stuff.

 

[hoopla]

I haven’t seen that many push in the back free kicks in a half of football...all going the lions way of course.

 

[someday-somehow]

This game has a real familiar feeling about it. Big final - didn't take our chances in the first half - this is not looking good.

For mine the cats are too defensively focused ATM. Once we get (if we get) too far behind i'm guessing that's when we'll take the game on.

 

[CarAttack]

Come on people. There is some frustration there but we had no luck, recieved 1 free kick in a hours worth of footy and we are still in front. We are in this up to our eye balls.

 

[mike91]

Such bias umpiring, honestly feels like watching wce. F**k me, any chance of paying Geelong a free?!

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Good thing is hopefully the umpires will review that half and realise they completely ****ed us and even it up in the second half.
You know, unless it's deliberate...

Yep

If those passages involving Menegola & Miers kicking behinds happen last week, those guys don't go for goal but rather hit up Hawkins

When we are on, we look for the Guernsey - but when things aren't working some start to go with the mindset of doing it themselves & having the hero moment

 

[Cataholic]

The fix is in for Brisbane

You called it early.

It's become a little lopsided hey?

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

We were way better than them that half.

Either we'll still be way better in the second half and eventually put on the scoreboard, or we won't and we may very well rue another first half of wasted opportunities. Like last year. We'll win tonight, though. We can't not.

 

[afl genius]

Yeah we get it AFL brisbane in the granny up there would be amazing but you gotta hide it a lot better than this balant cheating.
See Oscar macinery the giant guy next to miers and ablett when kicking forward maybe don't kick right to him? Kicked our selves out of it?

 

[someday-somehow]

I'm sure we'll get a few cheap square ups when it doesn't matter.

 

[Live in hope]

things will beat us in this game (in order) -

1. Geelong not taking opportunities
2. Umps not paying clear
HTB frees to us
3. Geelong disposal into F50, not to advantage

Sure - Lions lifted last 15 mins but even then we had opportunities that should have been taken.

 

[Walshy1]

You boys are getting destroyed by the umps here

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Easy script to read. We dominate, don’t put it on the scoreboard, Brisbane come out and kick a few and go in at 3rt in front
