Unofficial Preview GF v Sydney Discussion

[Squizz89]

Early preview but **** it why not? We’re in the granny again!

Oscar obviously out, you’d assume Fort straight in.

Assume Charlie didn’t get a knock in that late free kick where Cal goaled?

Also saw Nathan Barley mention an incident with Hipwood early. Is he likely to miss? Would he a huge out too.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Shattered for Big O.

 

[Elixuh]

Big O out sucks. He’s such a great team man. Devastated for him.

Didn’t get a replay but given it wasn’t highlighted you’d suspect there wasn’t much contact

Yes.

But no....

Because?

In Oscar's world, right now, there's about 24-30 people close by, that KNOW he helped bring us here.

Medal/no medal, different convo.

Internally?

There's clarity

Oscar out is massive. I wonder what we might do, there must be a temptation to play Smith. It allows us to have the option of him or Joe up forward. Fort obviously is ruck only. Neither of them are Big O this year.

It just sucks, lose out hardest to replace player in opening round and our second hardest player to replace in the PF.

Sydney had a cake walk off a nice rest, we might just run out of legs at the worst possible time. They are going to be just as hungry as we are after 2022.

If we don't run out of legs, we can definitely take them, we are a hard match up for them but man, Grundy has the potential to be a massive point of difference now with no Oscar.

I think the games earlier in the year showed Smith isn't much of what forward

 

[Squizz89]

Who took Heeney back when we played them earlier? Whoever has that match up will have a big say in the result.

 

[martinson]

Fort will come in.

Big game for him. Cinderella story if he nails it.

Devastated for Oscar. He more than anyone deserves to be out there.

Bring it home for BIg O.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Fort will be fine, people acting like he’s up against 2018 Grundy. Grundy is not that guy anymore.

 

[Squizz89]

Tough watch. Jerry should be very proud of his role he had getting us back into this season. He was huge for us earlier in the year moving into the middle. Go win it now mate.

Geez Bez ,don't be so hard on yourself mate.

One thing we know he won't die wondering next week.

I seem to remember a game vs Grundy (Collingwood) in 2021 without Oscar; where we ended up breaking even in centre clearances by basically not contesting the ruck at all and just reading Grundy’s taps extremely well

[McIvor]

Useless stat for you; the GF will be game #650 as the Brisbane Lions.

 

[lionshine]

Gutted for O but I reckon Fort has a big one v Grundy next week.

 

[morsie]

Shattered for Big O.

Like the NFL and Superbow, rings I reckon every player who has played in the season should get a premiership medaĺion.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Sorry for the intrusion but just wanted to wish you guys the best of luck next week and hope you do the Swans convincingly

 

[Tom14]

Has to be Fort imo. Smith has a bright future, but need a mature body to take the load in the ruck for at least 3 quarters.

If we have to sub out fort late in the third because Joe's been quiet and we need more run, then so be it.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Fort in

Wowee that was tough to listen to. I said earlier Berry wants to redeem himself but that was extreme.

I know he did a stupid thing last year but he is not the reason we lost - every mistake every player made throughout the game was. He shouldn't beat himself up like that.

It’s well known that Grundy is not a good tap ruckman. Brisbane will just rove Grundy’s hitouts. Forte just needs to be very physical and body Grundy who will give away a lot of frees.
