trade periods, constant uncompetitive football, finals disappointments, players wanting to leave and the variety of poster reactions that come from all of that...

I've even had to infract Tairy Greene for a post he made while we were watching the football in the same room.

I didn't think I've ever get to post this particular thread...

It's game day, Grand Final 2023. Lions vs Pies.

Let's gooooo!

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Think about the lows we had to sit through to get here, Enjoy it everyone, especially the lucky ones who are attending.

 

[alscotoz2]

On behalf of all non-Magpie Victorians who will have to endure the saturation press adulation of the black and white army if they win, pleeeaaassseeee get this done!! All the best.

 

[Blues_Man]

Good luck Lions, you are carrying the hopes of the majority of footy followers, you have one job and one job only , beat the black and white scum, flog them by ten goals or beat them with a kick after the siren from a dodgy free kick , either works for me

 

[Erakor]

Any updates on Lincoln Mccarthy ? Seems like a good roughie for Norm Smith. If he plays.

Also, please win.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions!

 

[_hyphy]

Watching this from New York City at 12.30am today. Missing home a lot today. I was too young to appreciate our three-peat but have been riding all the bumps over the years. Proud of our boys for making it to this day and quietly confident I’ll be partying all night long when we lift up the cup

Ps - Shout out to the mods and all of your fans for keeping us overseas tragics connected on here.

 

[BrisVegasDru]

Go the mighty Lions, genuinely believe we can do this, it has already been a successful season, so can be happy with today as long as we give % and never throw in the towel.

Joe to kick 4..

 

[moncon]

Let's go Lions! Will be up very early here in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to watch on tv, no-one here knows anything about Aussie rules, or what this means to us. I'm so envious of you all who have tix for the game. Let's freakin' goooooo!!!

 

[Tainey]

I'm so damn proud of our boys. Got a special feeling about this one! Expecting Lachie to play his best game of the year. The image I'm looking forward to the most is Lester getting his turn to hold the cup. He's poured his heart and soul into this club and has never given up, showing hard work can beat pure talent.

Cam to kick 4 and break someone's ribs. Lions by 45

 

[harvester]

GO LIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very proud of the club today.

 

[DashinD]

It’s been a long time coming. Very proud to have supported this club through thick and thin.
Regardless of the result, proud of what we’ve achieved this year.
GO U MIGHTY LIONS!!

 

[Harris Specter]

In Melbourne for my first ever GF live. Loved the atmosphere yesterday at the training and parade.

Let’s get it done lads, we’ll be partying on into the night if it goes our way.

 

[FFB1]

Well my prediction in the other thread panned out pretty much as expected. Was in bed just before 10pm, fell asleep relatively quickly. Woke up bit after midnight (thanks to kid #2 who decided to use our en-suite dunny). Nodded off about 12.30am, woke up again about an hour later, rinse and repeat through to 5am when I decided to just get up. Garmin watch informs me my body battery level is 23/100 and I need to schedule some rest time today (LOL). Bout an hour and a half from now will be on the train into town, pub at 9.30, quite a few beers before wandering across to the G about 1pm. From that point onwards who the **** knows

I love the smell of PREMIERSHIPS in the morning.

Recovered from his injury and training well and is playing today - I feel for Payne and rich but understand it’s a grand final so you need your team 100%.

Feeling calm, hoping for a win and think we can get this done- let’s do it for zorks 250th…

 

[cheekyLionsFan]

It's been a long road. I was at the gabba in 2017 when the crows absolutely killed us. Stayed till the end just watching for a glimmer of hope. Never gave up. Then to be there at the port game 3 weeks ago to see the crowd difference for the Charlie double was surreal. Very proud of the boys and hope today we come out on top.

Whatever happens today I'm proud to call myself a Lion's fan. Let's freakin goooo.

Up nice and early and so excited for today. First Grand Final for myself and my two boys. Before Fagan came to our club this day seemed a lifetime away. So to Fages and the coaching staff and everyone else involved at the club - well done and a big thank you for getting us to the big day.

Like most Lions fans I am nervous for today. However, I am confident we can win. We have been the in form side for the past 2 months. The players are confident in themselves - teammates and the game plan.

I feel like the weather will play a part. Going to be 29 degrees today and I would like to think that will be an advantage for our boys.

We need big games from the likes of Rayner and Bailey. Everyone will be expecting goals from Joey- Charlie and Hippy but if the other two can kick 5 between them that will play a massive part in our chances today.

Our defence was excellent last week. If we can stand up back there today and win contested ball look out Collingwood.

can't wait to see all the Lions fans at the ground today in our colours. Let's get the Lionssssss chant roaring.

Go the mighty Lions/Royboys.

 

[Sproj]

If the boys are not overawed by the occasion, I think we win comfortably. The occasion is the big if though. We are simply a better team but do our boys believe that? If they do, we’ll be celebrating a flag this afternoon.

 

[Nunez]

Impossible to sleep in on a day like today.

Have never felt so good about our prospects. Nothing superhuman needed. Just play your role and take your chances. Do that, and we will outscore them.

Although a superhuman Rayner performance would be enjoyable...

 

[Squizz89]

I said previously, I think to a man we have more talent across the board, but what we do know about the Pies is that their level will be consistent throughout, whereas with us, that’s the big unknown. We are prone to drifting in and out of games as we know.

If there was ever a day to put out a 120 minute performance, today’s the day lads.
