Game Day Preliminary Final, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Carlton

[Viceregal]

The best way to avoid any ... um ... umpires getting overwhelmed by the moment (why are they only ever overwhelmed in one direction?) is to be winning beyond the margin of umpiring.

Of course we still have to find out who the Blues are playing tonight (I am sure someone mentioned it somewhere)

Tonight, dear Lions, you have but one job ... to be our magnificent bastards!

GO LIONS! (x 10)

Far out, has been a nervy week. Completely understand the challenge for the players to keep their emotions in check in the lead up to the game.

GO LIONS!

For some reason I feel quietly confident .

Get it done boys .

I agree CB, no nerves at all ......78 pt win over the Baggers.

 

[M Malice]

Going to fill in a bit of time and go and do a Pilates class, I cycle past the Gabba on the way there so will report back and let you all know how many Blues supporters I spot and kick in the backside on the way past.

 

[Nunez]

Win tonight and we will face a very beatable Collingwood.

Get it done boys!!!

 

[Warwick]

A goal in the opening minute like the 2001 PF would be nice.

 

[Jackywats]

I feel sick

I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof! C'mon boys!!

Dunno about anyone else, but if we win I’m going to be so much less anxious next week about the GF. Sometimes your opponent is better on the day right, not much you can do but give it a crack.

But something about PFs is different - especially one like this, that by all accounts we should comfortably win. I’m a wreck at the moment

I feel like games we probably should win, like this one, are so much harder to take if we loose. Hence the nervousness.

If we win, the grand final will surely be a 50/50

Would hate to loose to Collingwood, can’t think of anything much worse

vic_LION and Thomasno have nailed my sentiments exactly!

 

[vic_LION]

But in saying that we’re going to smash them

Go Lions!!!!

 

[On the quiet]

Quite calm today, strangely.

I think we'll be in control all game and win well. Go Lions !!!

I think we will be in control for large parts of the game and we win reasonably easy

 

[Nunez]

If we play Collingwood at the GF, they will need a lot more than 58 points to beat us. McStay - who was their most dangerous forward yesterday - is injured and will miss.

Win tonight and get through unscathed and we should go in as favourites next week IMO.

Then 4 Victorian umpires
Now it’s raining
This feels bad

You're not wrong!

I'm going to keep myself real busy....have sold the house and move out in 2wks so still bits and pieces of packing to do, washing to do....a trip to Bunnings for more tape and boxes....have already done a burn-off of papers etc (not supposed too so don't tell anyone)

...hopefully that will keep me occupied for at least a majority of the day...I'll still be a wreck before the game starts, I just know it.

Imagine how the boys feel....more positive and upbeat than us hopefully.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Should I put my house on it L08 or is it another Ajax?

We should be OK, provided Nathan Brown doesn’t work us into a ‘Multi’.

AFL criticised for promoting series of bets that have 85% loss rate for gamblers

Disgraceful.

 

[Voss the boss]

I am really calm today - I am hoping it is a get the win - tick the box and go to the big dance! Come on lads turn up and bring effort and selfishness and the result will take care of itself!

 

[CarterS]

They will really be trying to slow it down and turn it into a slog, hoping we can break it open.
