Game Day Brisbane vs Geelong, Thu Jun 24 7:32 pm @ Gabba

[Footy_Fan2007]

Apparently everyone has a rivarly with us that we arent even aware of.

This.
What the hell is up with that?

 

[calder_daddy]

This is the flattest I think I’ve seen Geelong in years.
Absolutely no drive, no enthusiasm

I can’t even comprehend what I’m watching

 

[cats_09]

Kolo, Atkins being found out too. Menegola as well.

Could add the bulk of the team to the that - very few that could walk away somewhat happy with their game tonight

 

[Baudolino]

They won’t finish top 2, and they won’t be winning finals on the road.

They have only two games against top eight sides remaining (Richmond away and West Coast at home). Bulldogs have four against top eight sides remaining (West Coast away, Sydney at home, Melbourne away, and Port Adelaide at home).

Don't think it's unreasonable to suggest the Lions could make top two from here.

 

[Sire of Claude]

They're a classier team than us. Just look at the difference in kicking skills - they're outstanding and we're atrocious.

Dalhouse back to true form. Higgins poor. Sav useless. Bews the best defender! Kolo useless.

They're better and harder around the ball as well.

 

[Cataholic]

I tipped Tuohey would do well here, and that goal looked good.
BUT
He was among these players who had under 5 kicks until half time:
Selwood, Close, Menegola, Stewart and Hawkins being done like a dinner

So go for the jugular on Higgins, Sav, Dahl
but remember ALL the culprits

Yep, no-one can hold their head high tonight.

 

[Drunkcat]

Oh well don't forget our VFL side tomorrow

 

[geelong_crazy26]

This.
What the hell is up with that?

We have missed the finals once since 2007.. Thats why

 

[kickazz]

FWIW I think the Lions will play off in this years GF, no one is beating them at the Gabba if they finish top 2.

How did we do it in last year's prelim?

True. But at least a number have a few runs on the board.

 

[mcwilrob]

We have one of the easiest runs home in the comp. We only play two top eight teams and one of them is at GHMBA.

Not much point if we’re not at the level of other top 4 teams though is it?

 

[calder_daddy]

Good to see a team invest in and play young talent.

You get good young talent when you sit down the bottom of the ladder for a period of time

 

[Sttew]

Our midfield has been smashed tonight..

And our forward line non existent

 

[kickazz]

Have always been a fan of Higgins but he just looks like the game has passed him by. Surely Narkle gets picked ahead of him next week.

Have to agree, Higgins used to dominate against us, but he really looks like a guy that's worried about his body lasting the season

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

This is the flattest I think I’ve seen Geelong in years.

Which is why I’m taking a glass half full approach here, we are terribly off tonight, we’ll bounce back.

They’ve been good tonight but not sure they can play this well for a full finals campaign. A lot of lucky things going their way tonight.

 

[Cataholic]

He's cooked, and scared.

 

[Gogeelong]

Danger should be rested in seconds.
Has the most disposals for us but deflating he cannot kick

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Not a good night but we'll bounce back.

The positive is I get to see my kids next Thursday for the first time in 8 months.

The sun will still shine in the morning people.

Chin up.

 

[winty]

Our midfield has been smashed tonight..

We're actually winning the clearances. Doing SFA with it though.

 

[BotsMaster]

Have always been a fan of Higgins but he just looks like the game has passed him by. Surely Narkle gets picked ahead of him next week.

You would think so but Narkle needs to play above and beyond to stay in the seniors.

 

[fpm84]

Not much point if we’re not at the level of other top 4 teams though is it?

And why aren’t we? Because of this one game?

 

[dazbroncos]

38 tackles... intent is down.

11.13 from 43 entries for the Lions.

Too much ball to be able to counter.

GO catters

A team that has bent over...

EXACTLY what we just said in our lounge room.
And they've trained them in dirty tactics.
Equalisation pffft.
