What a game. Brissy playing out of their skins.
Centre clearance game is going well. A crucial goal on the siren to level scores.
Dare to believe @mariner4life
-
The crumbing by the Lions is far superior. Harder at the ball on the ground.
-
Unbelievable. Lions doing what the Dees were so good at. The ground ball stuff.
-
Dees looked dead and buried down by 20. Now they’ve kicked 2 quick ones and only down by 7 with just under 2 minutes.
-
Cop that Dees.
-
Lions tuning into a fourth quarter dominant team?
-
You. Fucking. Beauty.
-
What a way to break an 8 year hoodoo at the MCG.
Neale once again led the clearances and tackles for Brissy.
Hipwood, Cameron and Bailey excellent up forward.
Now if Freo tonight….
-
Not sure where to register my disgust at this, so this thread will do.
AFLW cancels plan for minutes silences for QEII, the Monarch who oversaw the devolution of the old Empire and empowerment of the former colonies, and one if the greatest women in history, before their games because of the bitterness of some privileged racists.
Find it horrible and disrespectful.

that is mad for a team that has been a top 8 team for the last couple of seasons at least and how many games are played at the MCG

Brisbane don't get many. And then throw in the fact that we have been a top 8 team through COVID where finals were at the 'gabba and Perth (and our pretty ordinary finals return)
A lot of the MCG tenants take our game away (Hawthorn to tassie).
But it has been an issue.
-
@mariner4life yeah, i assuemd there were reasons, just when all you think about is 6 of the 18 teams call the MCG home and some have been rubbish over at least the last few years...so you would have thought they would have snuck a win...but as you say a lot of games were moved out over melbourne over the last couple of years
-
really regretting not going to the Bledisloe now, with the prelim on the Friday as well
-

I'll back you in to stay up and about until you crash hard on Sunday.

@mariner4life from your lips to my livers proverbial ears

thoughts for the Prelims?
I actually give the Lions a decent chance against the Cats at the 'G. I wouldn't have picked us to win either of the two finals so far, but there seems a bit more of an edge around the Lions at the moment. Playing two games that have gone very deep might mean they are too tired in teh 4th.
Swans should be too good for the Pies. Double figure win
If i was having a bet i would still pick the Cats and the Swans
Only question mark is what influence the lack of game time will have.
-
Also if Berry gets a week for that i will be fucking livid.

Narrator: Berry did not get a week for that, justice was served.
Prelim weekend is always tasty. A weekend for the footy fans before the corporates take over for GF day.
Two rested sides waiting around to fulfill their destiny. One playing a side that had a very close loss, but bounced back for a convincing win. A side that doesn't really know when they are beat, and will make Sydney work right to the wire.
The other playing a side that entered the finals with what looked like the worst form, and the worst morale. A side that has then won two close finals, both times overcoming late deficits.
Most years Prelim weekend throws the form book out and the games are crackers (last year Melbourne just fucking smashed their way through the finals). For Brisbane's sake i hope this happens. The first GF back in Melbourne for a couple of years being Sydney v Brisbane would be pretty funny.
