Review Preliminary Final, 2024 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

[Ceebee]

Same issue old mate, 2 weeks in a row.
Have watched that last 5 minutes a ridiculous amount of times.

To be there for that was incredible. An amazing mix of emotions in that last quarter.

There clearly is a burning desire amongst the boys since that final day in September 2023.

One more boys.

But how amazing was it , how satisfying .
How absolutely incredible what we have seen from this team in this Final series .

Geelong had everything going for them coming in to this game - almost everyone fit, leaving out some gun players and rested and refreshed. We were still the better team despite a massive key injury.

Sydney will be almost fully fit, some gun players will be left out and will be super refreshed.

We’ve got this, we will not accept failure. This group resilience has finally arrived and then some. Rayner coming up clutch this PF is the moment we will look back on as the moment he finally emerged.

Go Jarrod!

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

I am still hideously drunk. BUT congrats. You guys wanted it more and after last year you f*cking deservee it. I thought 'Go Swans' after the game but on reflection f*ck those guys.

Go BrisVegas!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gavin Excell]

Congratulations on the win

Too good when it mattered

So Gramps gives Scotty a coaching masterclass in the second half

"All Chips In" Scott looked clueless as to how to counter the Lions running handball chaos , up tempo switch up when the game was on the line.

With perhaps our biggest advantage (Oscar) crippled and then Joe having to sacrifice his own game to cover the ruck

Defenders knuckled down magnificently and our small forwards carried the day.

That's about it. Well-won victory to the Lions!

 

[Gadzorks]

I caught a bit of Scott's press conference and I thought he was very gracious. No sulking in sight. Respect.

Wonder if the thought 'if we had to lose, at least it was Brisbane' even even entered his head.

 

[Ceebee]

Enjoyed Isaac Smith's body language for pretty much the entire clip and Big Turd's reaction at about five minutes in when Duncan was ran down.

The Turd was not happy , couldn’t happen to a better bloke .

 

[luthor]

That's about it. Well-won victory to the Lions!

I didn't mean any disrespect to Scott.

The "All Chips In" was a reference to spud David King's pronouncement a few weeks ago about the Lions dumping Fagan and going "All Chips In " next season on Chris Scott..

King is such a pillock

 

[haystark]

I had to.

 

[Ray Button]

Any advice how to stop it looping in your brain at 3am???

Simples.

Don't fight it, just enjoy!

Logan Morris is going to be insanely good one day.

Thank you Lions. Thank you. Now finish off and smash those Swans. Big soft spot for Fagan and deserves some silverware. Go Lions.

 

[Miluxx]

I'm still on edge. I haven't come down yet. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a player.

 

[luthor]

Answerth another 8 tackles tonight after 11 last week and he also won that crucial ball in the middle and got it forward when we were down a point which led to the incredible Ah Chee goal.

Love that Answerth gets to play in a granny this year!

Hated the way Gary Lyon kept referring to him as "Ainsworth" in the post match.

I think even Browny may have said it once.

Up there with the Jackson Payne atrocity

. Clearly hampered and not at 100% - however, he was so important last night. Kicked a great goal and won some critical 50-50 contests and I think it was last qtr got across and spoilt a Geelong free player on the wing which then resulted in a throw in. Can hold his head high.

Sitting at work with like an hour sleep maximum. Still on a high from last night!

Another insane Roar Deal Watch Party in Brisbane tonight

80 or so Lions tragics packed into the Copacabana Club at Woolloongabba.

I thought last weeks Watch (the miracle gws win )at Easytimes Brewing just next door would be hard to top but this was next level.

Another wonderful gutsy inspirational win.

And in the words of Dom Fahey:

"SUCK SHIT DAVID KING!!!!"

Both nights were absolutely fantastic, so good to be with a room full of tragics all losing our collective minds together

seriously g stated that McLuggage should be fined for staging over the Dangerfield tackle and that his head didn't hit the ground.I turned off as I was losing brain cells

 

[SeaOfFire]

Lions' last six finals....won 5, lost one by a kick.....also, only 1 of those was a double chance final, the rest have all been cutthroat.

We're in pretty chipper, recent form
