Review Semi Final, 2024 - GWS vs. Brisbane Lions

[The Zork]

That Fletcher goal was comparable to the McCluggage goal against the demons in that semi few years back. Clutch. Running goals give teams massive lifts.

 

[McIvor]

Kingsley taking a heart breaking loss 100% better than Mitch did.

Kingsley is a good man and my favourite opposition coach.

Likes his metal too which makes him tops in my view even though Iron Maiden is not my go.

How did we win. My wife a crows fan, never lost hope. Me I thought we were gone. Best match ever

I hope that's the end of anyone saying Ah Chee is any sort of weak link in our team. He was one who gave us 4 quarters.

He and Berry kept us in it.

Felt like a good time for a new display pic.

 

[McIvor]

Amazing comeback. I feel like I might finally get my dream of a Swans-Lions Grand Final.

Cal Ah Chee will go down as a legend of the Lions. So unheralded, but so inspirational the disregard he has for his body and his ability to always get the best out of himself for someone that has spent the better part of his career on the fringes.

Have always wanted a Swans representing South Melbourne v Lions representing Fitzroy in a final in Melbourne. Will not miss coming down for it for the world.

So has Wil Ashcroft added to his potential future captaincy credits tonight maybe ... seemed like a bit of 'follow me boys ' going on!

Watch Lachie’s postmatch interview on Fox footy. He said Ashy told him to get him the ball as he’s on the move. How’s that for a 2nd year player coming back from an ACL!

Can someone explain the sequence of events.

What were the key turning points -

 

[martinson]

Say what you like about Zorko but he has a huge heart.

At 35 to find what he did in the last 40 minutes was phenomenal.

 

[McIvor]

Good to hear and see Fish in Fages press conference, obviously he was able to get his bosses to stump up for him to go down for the match.

Look forward to the Raor Deal this week

I’ll also add, I usually don’t post in game day thread as I’m at games at home and when we play away I’m watching with family but I’m home alone tonight and i can see why I don’t post in them as I make and made way too many stupid comments even id be embarrassed reading again.

Would it truly be a gameday thread without everyone being a nuffie?

He is something else.

Bringing McKenna on for Morris was a great move,got the ball moving a lot quicker and opened up the forward line to give Joe a chance at one on one contests. Good coaching I would have thought.

He was although I was critical of that undisciplined play that resulted in a Giants goal. But he was phenomenal late in the game.

Man I really thought that fat lady was fully singing.

 

[braddsey]

I'd pretty much given up but kept watching for some absurd reason

I was ready to switch off when we were 4.11 half way through the third. I was pretty calm until we got to 8 points down as i was convinced we couldn’t keep it up. After that i went f*cking nuts.

 

[braddsey]

Ever seen a more body on the line performance from a player ? Ah Chee went hard tonight

He was massive all night. He believes!

What were the key turning points -

Kai and Oscar's goals in the third definitely, but also just Ashcroft turning up the heat in the midfield. Had 3 big clearances and put the team on his back.

We started converting our midfield intercepts and stoppage wins and once the team piled on 5 goals so quickly the belief was there. Daniels and Keeffe fluffing easy chances in the 4th opened the door for us.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Ah Chee with 11 contested possessions and Answerth with 11 tackles is crazy

 

[beardancer]

Geeez I love Joe!!!

Cam Rayner
Another absolute stinker in a massive game for our club.

8 Disposals at 37% Disposal Efficiency
(3 First Half / 5 Second Half)
6 Clangers
Gave away two ‘sucked in’ free kicks at clutch moments in the last quarter.

What has to happen for Rayner to rise to the occasion?

Imagine telling your 2x Brownlow medal captain to get you the ball.

Kid is just made for it.
