Review Preliminary Final, 2022 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

Ahhh...

 

[Nathan Barley]

Matho had our second most contested possessions. 1 less than Neale

 

[Nathan Barley]

Payne, Rayner, Dev, Kiddy and Hippy get the votes. Only ones with acceptable effort tonight

 

[wikinick257]

Well Geelong better nut up and beat Collingwood next week if they make it

 

[Quested]

The question now is, did we have two lucky games, because tonight was back to our home and away frustrations.

That is so sad

 

[FLVanLandingham]

the dream is over.

i'm glad we made it so far

 

[McIvor]

I hope Fagan gives something in the press conference instead of mulligians and other tripe. He cant use winning quarters or halves tonight although even when the sting went out of it , generally teams in our shoes hit the scoreboard b/c the other teams puts the brakes on - we were just more apathetic.

 

[CarterS]

Did not get a run on all night. Bombed it in and they cleaned it up. How many intercept marks they have? Rayner by far our best until he went off.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

At least our future skipper (Will Ashcroft) will be quite happy for the result even if it means we ain’t

Besides that, we were complete shite especially after QT

 

[Nathan Barley]

I blame Lyons

 

[BuntonRules]

If we are going to win a flag, we need Josh Dunkley

. Lachie needs help.

 

[martinson]

Not much to be said.

We were terrible. Made them look unbeatable.

4 finals exits . Tonight the worst.

I guess we let the dust settle and look at our list and any other improvements we might make

 

[Lazza16]

Cats 2 good 2 organised

Yeah playing our 11th final in 4 years we should at least be competitive

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Out Coached. Well set up team they are. Kudos.

We allowed them to have a spare all night. Didn't do anything to change the team mid game to counter it.

 

[Elixuh]

IMO it is as simple as we don't have a good enough first string midfield. We basically need Choc to play brownlow footy every week. Get Dunkley and Ashcroft in and sure up the midfield and it'll go a long way.

Making a prelim from 6th isn't a bad effort. I'll take that.

We came up (yet again) against the pre-destined side in the finals this year and they had way too much experience + out-bodied us + had clean skills + stuck all their tackles + had great coaching strategy. Hopefully one of these years we get one of the feeble teams like Collingwood did last week.

 

[RU_]

That one hurts.

On the Sydney wagon!

 

[FLVanLandingham]

The question now is, did we have two lucky games, because tonight was back to our home and away frustrations.

Nah i think we ran high on emotions and good play last two games, Geelong to smart and clinical in their strategy.

We played high on emotion last two games and when that faltered we couldn't rely on just pure good play as quite a few players were very down on output.


once it got away from us we just le t the game play out and it turned a bit ugly. shame that

 

[martinson]

Yeah playing our 11th final in 4 years we should at least be competitive

I know we did a good job to get there but maybe if Lynch kicked the goal in the first final that's about where we're at. Couldn't possible see us beating the Pies or the Swans.

To be fair they are close to unbeatable right now. 15 wins in a row is special.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

oh and let me indulge in some old fashion whinging.

what the **** was that umpiring first 2 quarters. disgraceful

 

[Squizz89]

That was bog average. Less said the better. Bring on the trade period.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Fort starts before mcinerney next year.

The Pies should've rolled them last week.

They half fluked it.

But yes 15 in a row deserves kudos.
