Review Preliminary Final, 2024 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

[Corn Cobbers]

Whoa, even Pies fans are behind us.

Getting an itchy feeling between the shoulderblades for some reason.

Yep you've saved us from another Geel v Syd snorefest, cmon Lions!!

 

[Turtle_aka_Fresh]

Welfare check on David King anyone? I’m not sure he’s coping right now!!!

 

[Helicon1]

That was amazing. The resilience in this team and belief is just phenomenal.
Christ they did us proud!!!!
Morris, Lohman, Wilmot were immense.
Rayners last qtr was spectacular. Two amazing plays
Payne’s tackle.
wonderful

Just in awe champion team

 

[Nunez]

I ****ing love this club.

 

[MacMum]

They didn't know it but they did for you (and everyone else!).

Thank you

They have certainly made me smile again this last week..

 

[McIvor]

And people still continue to question Froggy.

Immense and we aren’t going to a GF next week if not for him and of course others.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Heroic, really, all of them. To win like that with no recognised ruck. Joe was amazing. Forget the hit outs, it was everything else. But everyone stepped up. EVERYONE.

So proud, again.

Just wonder if we have anything left for next week.

Lloyd a couple weeks back: “Lions the only team left in it who can’t win the grand final”

LOL

 

[bato]

Fages just said he doesn't expect Big O to make the grand final.

 

[Mr north man]

Sydney VS Brisbane.

The VFL's ultimate nightmare.

Sucked in I say

Yes it is but it is a National Competition but I’m Happy for the old South Melbourne and Fitzroy supporters maybe I can enjoy some of both your clubs in years when we are forced to relocate to Darwin.
After all we known as the WWWC of the AFL administrated by people who have no idea on how modern football is run on and off the field.

3Kz will be on cloud nine. He tipped this!

 

[McIvor]

The watch party strikes again.

PLEASE have one next week in Brisbane.

I won’t be there; I’ll be at the G but incredible record when they are in and we’re underdogs every game.

 

[Sproj]

So the very good coach beat a great one hey. I mean I thought Scott was an unbeatable genius.

 

[lionshine]

Dunkley, Ah Chee, Rayner, Starcevich and Lester got my votes.

Ah CHEE & RAYNER! Insane goals.

Starcevich & Lester just ridiculously good at repelling the Cats forward entries.

Dunkley an animal in the middle.

Everyone was great though. Hipwood and Payne moved a lot better today!

Neale, Zorko, Berry, Clug and Ashcroft all played their part. Daniher standing up in the ruck without O.

Lohmann and Wilmot speckys!

Loved that win! Massive fight back AGAIN and without McInerney. Just massive.

We are back in the granny!

 

[Cursed Cat]

Massive credit to your mob for winning the 2024 Prelim and advancing to the GF against Sydney.

I actually thought Geelong played near enough to our best against quality opposition, but we were not good enough.

Kai Lohmann's Prelim should absolutely go down in history as a Great Brisbane Lions Finals performance.

Good luck in the GF.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Welfare check on David King anyone? I’m not sure he’s coping right now!!!

He is waiting on some data from Champion data.
There is only on stat that counts. Final score!

 

[KissKiss]

I just got on the train... still shaking... holy ****ing shit that was amazing. That got super loud

I want to vote for so many players.

I am so upset about Oscar. He is why premiership medals should go to the whole team

 

[Jewelsbon]

Congratulations guys, that was a brilliant game and your boys have played a magnificent finals series.
Next week's game will be a belter! May the best team win

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

That was the greatest win I've seen, that just surpassed the Semi Final win last week in my mind. Beating the Cats at the MCG in a classic Prelim Final finish. Feels like we were building to this for the last 6 years.

[Helicon1]

Soooo looking forward to the dribble from king and Lloyd in the media this weeks.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I fricken love this club

 

[Nathan Barley]

I see it! But I don't believe it!

Amazing all the overanalysis and digging through stats coming into the final series

Record - Preliminary Finals

Overall - Finals
Win: 14
Loss: 16
Win Strike Rate: 46.6%

Yet the media bang on and on and on about Geelong making top 4 consistently. That means absolutely nothing if you don't win the Premiership. I mean sure, Premierships are hard to win...very difficult....but I reckon they (Geelong) have underachieved in my opinion.

Well done Brisbane Lions and awesome result for the club and their fans/supporters. In my opinion, its probably the best Finals win by the Brisbane Lions outside of their 3 Premiership wins (2001, 2002 & 2003).

Enjoy the week leading up to the Grand Final and Grand Final day.

Cheers.

Last game we won with less inside 50s?
