Nope was Oscar in the middle. What I will say is at games there are rusted on Lions supporters with no idea about the rules.
Linc's highlights reel is growing exponentially
hipwood was a deliberate kicking action and deserved to get paid. A prime example of why the rule was bought in and to me wasn’t a legitimate attempt to make.

I remember the calls for him to be dropped over the last couple of years , ringing a bit hollow now as they did then. Those on the need to be dropped list still include Ah Chee, even when the game's not a quarter old , Prior ,well it's more or less accepted that he'll struggle to hold his spot, McStay seems to be well off the list now and even those who don't like him accept he's there for the long haul , Adams as recently as last week ,hopefully he's put that to rest because he's a must play against the better teams imo , Birchall , well those who've never liked him have really gone to town when ironically he didn't play , and Zorko till recently when even those who kept knocking him might have woken up that he's an absolute champion.
It was mind numbing to watch. The free against Daniher in the ruck inexplicable. We could've gone into half time 10 up . I believe the umps are probably doing their best but that 10 minute period just looked suss tbh.
That's an exceptional result in Brisbane. Highest rating program from 7:30 onwards and went until after 10pm.
Yeah, no disrespect to Geelong, but we should have won that game by 70 points. Our inaccurate kicking and questionable umpiring decisions cost us off that.
It was probably a guess.
fagan would be nuts if he did it. In no way should Birchall play ahead of Payne nor should Lester play ahead of Madden. Our defensive 50 last night was perfect.
Yes they looked good last night but two things. Geelong's forward entries were overall horrible because we applied the most pressure up the field that I've ever seen from this current Lions team. And secondly Birchall's had a really good year and consistently been one of our better players.
I think Birchall is still a pretty good footballer, but watching last night i'm reminded about what McStay did to our Forward 50. McStay's inclusion has made our forward 50 work effortlessly and the players gelled immediately upon his inclusion. I felt the same thing happened last night. Payne's inclusion felt like the missing piece and our defensive 50 finally felt right to me. While Geelong's inside 50 entries were not the greatest, you have to remember that we barely had more inside 50 entries than they did, yet we had significantly more scoring opportunities. That wouldn't have happened if our defence didn't perform as strongly as they did last night.
It's one game.
