Review Preliminary Final, 2024 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

[SeaOfFire]

Both are incredibly lucky it only hit on his shoulder (or at least a glancing blow to the noggin).

The slow mo replays of how it neatly floats to ah chee who kicked it in one movement was great

Yeah, I've watched that slow mo replay a dozen times....it's magnificent to see the artistry behind the action.

I thought the free because Lohman had his feet off the ground. You can’t bump outside marking contest, if the players feet are off the ground.

Feels like that's more of a rugby league rule than an AFL rule

He might be thinking of the tunneling rule

With so many individual highlights in that last quarter , McKennas sideways kick to Morris for the goal is one of my favourites .

Slightly off topic. What was the turning point in this finals series for you...so far.

For me it was Fletcher's goal on the run against GWS.

The clearest ones (in hindsight)

Daniels miss, then we kick one straight away

Mannagh miss - then we kick one straight away

In both cases we are well behind but from that point we kicked the next few goals to get in front

For me the moment Fletcher kicked that goal was the first moment i thought we were actually a good chance of winning

And the Morris goal was the same - the 2 goal break in the last quarter, even though we gave up the lead!

I thought it Pearce Hanley for a moment

Have listened to a few of these and they are all pretty good .

Except for ABC , I thought Malthouse would be in a nursing home by now , but it’s obvious he still hates the Lions .

Watching this again and what Will Ashcroft does from the 43rd second of the first quarter is just insane. If that kick had gone through (Stewart got there grrr) it would have been one of the greatest finals goals of all time I reckon.

Melthouse was the only one in the ABC box to tip the Lions pregame

The ABC's call of the final few minutes of this game is awesome. The Rayner speccy, the Stewart tackle, the Henry goal, the Ah Chee goal, the Rayner goal, the Payne tackle, the Stanley poster. Absolutely hectic final 4 minutes. Had pretty much everything.

Out of those 3 I reckon 3AW. Altho I think ABC probably shades all of them on this occasion.

GF. JB did muck up their pre sale and when I emailed them about it, confirmed their mistake and are sending the box set free of charge later this month

I still keep asking myself, ‘what if Answerth slipped over”.

So many magic moments crammed into 5 minutes. With the season on the line. At the G. 90,000+ fans all transfixed just screaming .. losing their minds. Sitting with the faithful behind the City goal. Ebb and flow. Up and back. In front behind and back in front. Are you kidding ?

I was sitting in the front row of the top tier behind the cheer squad. Right behind the Ah Chee and Rayner goals. Unforgettable.
