Review Preliminary Final, 2024 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

[beardancer]

Joes time in the ruck was interesting. Did well halving ruck contests but then played very selflessly and defensively around the ground following around the Geelong ruck and playing behind the ball

he was god awful in the ruck, half the time he didn't even make it to the contest before the ball went up. luckily he the greatest footballer of all time .......so all is forgiven

What's the go with no ban for the bloke that flattened Cameron late in the game ? Didn't even get a fine

 

[Gadzorks]

No he didn't, no he's not, and speed and Lester are two words which do not belong in the same sentence. That being said, I nearly gave him a vote.

Ryan could well become the first player at any level of Australian Rules football to win both a "best clubman" award and a senior premiership!

Last week at the end when Joe kicked the ball away from everyone Lester was first lion to it with one of the gws players. This is the last kick of the game and Lester had the ball when the siren went.

Have been wondering where Lester was when Joe kicked it because my memory was everyone was on the other side of Joe.

Could be an interesting take on the Lester is slow argument - he must have run and matched the gws player. Who may or may not be considered fast?? . I'm just too inept/lazy to work my way through the footage. Figure you might have a crack.

Hard to know. That’s been a suspensions for years now

 

[Gadzorks]

What an awesome amazing night to be a lions die hard supporter.
I yelled out from my lounge room go lions a few times and when cal ah chee scored I went out again and yelled he’s a manly boy
He lives around here somewhere but my neighbours were probably thinking he’s lost it
The best part for me is that when we got on top of them in the last quarter even the third we had our kick mark game absolutely purring
I feel like it really is our time to win the cup

Our house is open so the neighbours hear everything, and it can get a bit sweary. There was ten people yesterday so LOUD.

They took their 3 and 5 yo to visit the grandparents

i'm super worried about charlie tho. is he ok, he seems so sad and down. is something going on with him?

 

[beardancer]

AAANNNNDDDDD, do we play Hippy next week or do we go with Henry. Henry CAN ruck and we can leave our Goat Joe in the forward line.
Personally I think we'll do better with Forty tapping to our onballers than Oscar.

Beardancer you're obviously a troll.

I was giving it to Bailey the first half of the game a few swear words
But I was full of praise when he came good and some great defensive runs to help our defenders
And my son said great spray he must of heard you
Super happy for him

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

But is he an extremely stable genius?

 

[haystark]

10 minutes left in my third re-watch, and it's getting exciting. I wonder how it ends!!!

 

[buttermuffs]

Cornes doesn’t rate him at all. Idiot

Seemed to think Payne played on Ollie Henry when it was mainly Harris and said used it to say he got 5 and 4 kicked on him in back to back weeks.

Payne played on Neale and kept him goalless. Not the biggest assignment but did his job well.

 

[Schache_off]

Good to hear Scott acknowledge that they came up against a better team...
Pretty poor form to not acknowledge the other team when you get beaten in a close game.

I normally stay well away from the Ryan Lester banter on this board.
Last night he was great (and has been for most the last couple of the seasons).

My highlight from last night, he was in the midst of a 1-on-3, and came away with the ball through some fantastic ball control.

He is playing his role as well as anyone on that team, and he’ll get one of the biggest roars in the stadium collecting his premiership medallion should we get over the line next week.

Beardancer you're obviously a troll.

And a poor one

[QUOTE="Elixuh, post: Brisbane Lions champion Luke Hodge can barely watch[/QUOTE]

Hodge looks a bit like me at the piney last night - I wasn’t even cheering in the last few minutes, way too nervous. Just absolutely locked in to the screen

 

[beardancer]

And a poor one

hippy is injured and played a very quiet game.....you wouldn't think of bringing in a full forward/ ruck?????

 

[bungalow_bill]

Feel free to post any clips of that prick admitting he’s wrong…

King is probably like the Fonz can't admit when he's wrong

 

[bungalow_bill]

He played so well in moments and then so badly in others it evened out like an average Joe Daniher game. Did really well in general play other than that most important moment. Should have kicked 3.1 instead of 2.2. Can’t find it in me to be too mad because that X factor is needed in big moments.

Bailey was the sickness and the cure

 

[bungalow_bill]

Cam 'MVP' 'AA squad' 'Prelim final BOG' Rayner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Ripper]

Bailey was probably only two or three whoopsies off having a very, very good game.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Rayner finally making the most of his God given talent is a joy to behold. If he plays like this in the GF the Norm Smith could be his!

From everyone to whom much was given, much will be expected

 

[ZoBlitz]

Bailey was probably only two or three whoopsies off having a very, very good game.

Watching the replay outside the stress and emotion of watching the game live, he's instrumental in a number of important plays.

Absolutely true. Unfortunately for us and him those whoopsies come at the worst possible times

His defensive running was sensational too.
