Unofficial Preview GF v Sydney Discussion

[knaf]

Lachie moving like an 18 year old

 

[KissKiss]

I didn't make it into the training as the toddler fell asleep, but man the crowds are clearly way bigger than last year. Even without Collingwood and not as nice weather there are so many more people out

 

[Squizz89]

Reckon we sat with less people at the Gabba between 2014-18 most weeks tbh.

Didn’t fly down till Friday night last year. Glad I got down for this this year. Unreal turn out.

Remarkable crowd at the captain's runs. Sydney's barely made it to the wing. In fact we had more in than they did even while theirs was actually on. We've literally filled half the ground. Did not see this coming.

Unlikely I guess but would be a nice representation of our support in the crowd tomorrow!

Anyone able to share their story's today or tonight on some of the Lions functions held around town such as the Roar Deal one at the Royal Derby or the other function at the hotel in Preston.

Looks like a lot of us got to the parade and Captain's Run, but would love to know how you lot are enjoying the various festivities or private functions

Noticed 1 very tall Swan only.

 

[Perrip]

Looks like we took Aker up on those goal kicking hints

 

[Grasshopper17]

I've learned many things from this weekend. $1 being Grasshopper17 is a reformed Leemas. Wow. Literally shaking.

What's a "Leemas"?

 

[martinson]

All the thousands of opinions and predictions go out the window as soon as the ball is bounced.

Just from the outside we seem better prepared this year with the issue being a few injured and sore players and the hard road in.

Personally not a fan of this. Turned into a bit of a lecture toward the end.

 

[RU_]

End of the day, these are elite athletes. Is the break that big of a deal?

Maybe the exception of Fort who will need to tag team with Daniher a bit for fitness.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Rampe did not sound very calm in the presser.

Probably pissed off they only got asked 2 questions while we got asked about 20. Bizarre. When did we become the new Collingwood?

 

[bindi27]

Another great turn out for open training!

 

[Grasshopper17]

How good is the walk to the G. Anyone against Vic park needs to take the walk and experience the feeling.

Yep, here and basically any other major sporting venue in Australia.

As if the players wouldn't be loving having the ability to pick his brain

 

[The3peat]

Anyone heard the Daniher retirement rumour going around? Sounds like bullshit to me but it's picking up some steam.
