Review Preliminary Final, 2024 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

[McIvor]

He won the channel 7 TV this week well done
Seemed very happy to get it. Something about the kids but i missed what he said

 

[Bramax]

Good for him.
I hope he wins the Norm Smith medal.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Nah...

The last tonight is Froggy's Quarter.

Brilliant in the 3rd too.

 

[McIvor]

How good was Payne’s tackle

In case you are in Melbourne next week, you maybe interested in the weather- sunny and 23

I've been to melbourne seven times and it is always sunny. Don't know why people carry on about the weather.

forgive the intrusion. Kai Lohmann is a freak. that is all

 

[Gadzorks]

If we win the flag, you can bet the house on the documentary being called Dancing on Ice.

And that Berry interview will be heavily featured. And I'll probably cry - when he mentions his mum it's just too much. Parents should not be allowed to die till their kids hit 25.

One of the Lions best players tonight. Should have won the rising star but I am biased.

 

[McIvor]

Jaspa Fletcher’s game is seriously being underrated but I guess you can only vote for five.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Cleary ended up getting the tears he was fishing for from the opening question. What a campaigner.

 

[McIvor]

I hope that’s where the similarities end.

 

[Denno]

Anyone know where to watch the Grand Final in Singapore?

I think the one at Robertson Quay is better from memory. Food isn't too bad either, for what it is.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Just watched the last quarter again. There are a few Geelong defenders who will be having nightmares. As our defence tightened, a few of them got lost at key times. Was beautiful to see .

We also kicked STRAIGHT!

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I don't know how I'm going to get any work at all done this week, I really don't

Wow. JBerry.

 

[questeds]

JFC I thought Bailey had cost as a finals berth for a second!

Otherwise, what an absolutely gallant win. Everyone lifted when Big O went off, that was just as gutsy a win as last week and I really hope we carry that belief into next week.

I'm just shook right now, absolutely shook. What a game footy is!!!!

When is the ballot

 

[Elixuh]

When is the ballot

It was Sunday last year. So assuming the same.

 

[acuguy]

Phew, i just made sure there was enough cash in the account! Was there last year. Backing up again, hopefully, flights are booked.

 

[Gadzorks]

Can someone watch First Crack for me if David King is on it so that we can learn why Chris Scott outcoached spud grandpa fages?

It opened with King saying positive things about fagan. No over the top, but clearly addressing this weeks mess.

To argue the other side, he was critical at half time last week and instead of hand up taking the hit about being wrong he doubled down. We've all done it. Feels awesome when you get it right and makes an arse out of you when you are wrong.

Kings Fagan mess will deservedly follow him around non stop if we win next week. That's reward for us on its own.

 

[braddsey]

Curious as to why nobody rates Charlie's game. Thought he was unusually consistent and helped keep you in it when the Cats put the pressure on you.

Because we’ve grown to expect the miracles of previous years. He’s not what he was, but played a fantastic game. His partnership with Cal was immense, and perhaps he’s now more about the team thing, than about doing it himself. When that happens is often when the team a wins.

One poster was after the Lions player ratings
Below ratings from foxsports.
Three players had the most being an 8.
Lots of players with 7 & 6 which indicates a team effort.

3. Joe Daniher
Matched up with Blicavs. Looked dangerous early as a forward-50 ruckman but struggled to make an impact overall in the first half. Had a couple of decent moments, and gets an extra mark for his mark on the Geelong goal line later in the last quarter. Nonetheless, went scoreless for the day in a high-scoring affair by finals standards. 4

I didn’t read them all yet… but are they aware Joe played 100% ruck after Oscar went off?!? Twits.
