C'mon Brissie! No Vic final!

 

[eaglevision]

Suck shit Port, bunch of flogs

**** I’d love a player of Isaac Heeneys ability. ****ing gun

Heeney is the player I see Finn O’Sullivan developing into. Very happy to pull the trigger on him.

 

[Monocle]

Port choke in a final ......... once again..... delicious.




Some losses are harder to swallow than other, they got spit out again tonight.

C'mon Brissie! No Vic final!

You just know they’ll push the South Melbourne vs Fitzroy angle.

 

[Seadog]

No shame in losing to a team who are better than you.
Half backs who can run through the middle and kick it 60m are worth their weight in gold on the SCG, Farrell and Houston would have helped but probably not enough to win.

 

[FKASC]

Wines is cooked as well. Amazingly I think they get more out of grandad Boak than Wines these days.

One of the biggest falls in influence I can recall

Wines was awful in the QF too. Beyond cooked. They need a giant clean out.

Zerg Hatcher has been putrid all finals. Can only play on the third best talls. Ratagolea…geez. It’s like we went and sold Callum Wilson for a second rounder

 

[KERRPOW]

Only positive from Sydney winning the GF is that Warner decides he wants to come home this offseason and nominates us.

Id prefer if he sees out his contract and comes to us as a free agent (if he is one)

100% It's why a Port v GWS grannie would have been perfect. Imagine the public holiday GF parade mood then!

Absolutely, Port were down a few and carried one or three whose careers are over..

Is Brisbane any chance today? They have the talent but are so bloody flaky. I figure they need a fast start to win, put pressure on the cats early and build a lead.

Flaky so hard to tell. On the day yes, or no.

They're definitely a chance, I actually think the flag is theirs as long as they win today.

They're also just as likely to be flogged by 12 goals. I hope the former Brisbane shows up.

It could also be one of those games where 13.4 plays 4.13 which Brisbane are just so good at.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Really want Brissie to win. Gone the early call on them for like 4 out of the last 6 finals or something stupid and was wrong after a crazy comeback, just want them to string it together for 4 quarters.

They are a chance, indeed I believe their very best is still better than any other team in the competition.

But the void between their best and worst is probably the biggest in the competition as well.


Double travel won't help them either, although the pre-finals bye mitigates the impact of that to some extent now.


Geelong's system of creating a defensive spare is something Brisbane's forward line has been unable to overcome during the Fagan era. Rather than going down the same path with their usual gameplan, the Lions would be better off in getting an extra forward and making that spare accountable.

The Lions also struggle against small forwards that get behind the defence - which unfortunately for them is most of Geelong's attack.

Brisbane will need to dominate around stoppage to prevent the Cats from creating outnumber situations ahead of the ball which is the basis for their front half gameplan this year.

Lions will need to take their early chances to curtail any momentum gathered by Geelong. Their inaccuracy has become a liability.

L.Neale hasn't trained at all this week. He's been in a moonboot and receiving injections pre-game for the past month to get through matches. Watch for Dangerflog to stamp on Neale's left foot during early proceedings of the match.


Unless C.Rayner and E.Hipwood can turn around their horrific finals records and Fagan gets creative, I don't see Brisbane being able to overcome Geelong and make consecutive Grand Finals.

Go look at their MCG record and I think that really tells the story.

a geelong v swans GF is nausiating.

Clearly a fake WCE fan. Watched none of our games this year... That is our title.
I will except of the teams still in it.

Brisbane will get flogged today

Was thinking the same.

Brissie's best leagues ahead of our best, and their worst leagues ahead of our worst too though.

 

[DorothyG]

Killer jumper clash at the Freo/Melb W right now.

Purple/pink vs Blue/red. Feel like Melbourne need a more all red jumper, looks ok when seen from behind, but an absolute mess front on

Yeah, I won't be watching it, just like the last one.

I don’t trust them to, and not even sure they can (plus it is breezy in Melb today) - but if Brisbane can convert at 50-60% I think they win

Ports delivery into the forward line was awful, bombing it into almost the same spot so Sydney could get it to ground so Sydney could run it back out again.
