Non Lions Discussion 2024

[M Malice]

Did you know he has a basketball background?If they mention that tonight the TV is at risk.

Pfft! X Lions legend Tom Fullarton was a better basketballer than Pendles.

Magpies lose their next 4 games, Magpies sack Craig McRae... who then takes on an assistant coaches role at the reigning Premiers the Brisbane Lions in 2025.

And takes Nick Daicos with him

What would be better; pies just miss finals or miss finals by a lot?

100% chance once they are out of contention they’ll orchestrate a way of finishing bottom six.

Good point

Better draw next year

 

[MSB ROYS]

Skills in the North and Richmond game are so poor, but at least it's close.

The best possible outcome is we eliminate them. And comfortably enough that their fans leave in their droves before the final siren so we can all give them a fond farewell

 

[Dalions]

Adelaide gonna give us anything today?

Nope. They're planning they're clearly focussing on their end of season trip

Saints can still finish 7th. Possibly higher.

That is if a truckload of other results go their way and a lot of clubs get stuck at 12 wins.

Less probability of that happening so I don't see Saints making it with a 12-11 record, even if they win all 4 games in front of them.

 

[McIvor]

Bizarre that there's a standalone game this arvo... And it's a battle for the wooden spoon. Haven't even thought to turn the telly on.

And then tonight we have 2 matches on simultaneously which both arguably deserve to be standalone games.

For what it's worth, I reckon I'll be sticking with the Port v Swans game so I don't have to tolerate what will no doubt be a veritable Pendlebury vomit fest

The AFL couldn't continuously stuff up on so, so many levels this year if they tried. Again, shows how incompetent this Administration really is. The fixturing has been a debacle this year to go along with so much else yet they'll pat themselves on the back at what a tight year the comp has been as if they played a part in it.

 

[McIvor]

You'd think he would have been better than Jordan the way they bang on about his basketball. For that reason, it'll be the Port game on my tele tonight.

Perhaps I'll get lucky and Sanjeev my Uber driver yesterday will be commentating.

The Crows in with a shot at half time v the Cats, it would be delectable if they could jag the win.

My word , come on Crows

 

[knaf]

Crows full of running.

 

[Nathan Barley]

The variability in time given to blow the whistle after the tackle is just another opportunity for inconsistency

A crow is tackled and the ump waits for ever until a Geelong player can get the ball and run forward. 2 minutes later a quicker whistle pings Fog just before he got a handball to a teammate

 

[Elixuh]

God damn you crows lift you spuds

 

[Grasshopper17]

God damn you crows lift you spuds

Perfect game to have on mute to avoid listening to what is no doubt an orgy of Geelong fandom in the commentary box.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Hard to listen to the commentators barracking

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Impossible for interstate teams to win at the cattery unless you're the Giants.

dogs port and giants have won there this year

My bad add Port to the list, dogs aren't an interstate team.

 

[Jivlain]

Well, it was closer than I expected it to be

 

[Tom14]

Brad Close is so so good at shepherding his man in a marking contest without getting pinged. It's incredible, he takes front spot, makes to look as if he will contest, then lets Cameron jump uncontested third man in.
