Game Day Rd 23, 2013 - Brisbane v Geelong

[Back2Back2Back]

What annoys me more now than anything is the sheer lack of energy they put into singing their song in the dressing room then. They won by an umps call and a miss kick from us. You'd think they would sing like that's a proper victory, not just go through the motion.

 

[LionKing]

Shattered, angry and proud

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Gutless umpiring by motor mouth McBurney. He knew a quick whistle was the only thing that could have saved him making a courageous decision. If that's how he umpires in pressure games then, give him the flick from the finals. Pathetic coward.

 

[Jacko72]

Hopefully Carlton can do us a favour and win, then we wouldn't have made the finals anyway. Come on blues...

 

[BuntonRules]

Could not be more proud of the boys.

Absolutely

Robbed of fianls, but so f***ING PROUD. Never, ever gave it away. Thank you Vossy or leaving us a team moulded in your image.

 

[possum8]

Proud of the boys, they didn't stop trying even when we were under siege. The fact that we nearly beat a strong Geelong side at home says we are on the rise again. Can't wait for next year now!

 

[LionKing]

Geelongs best player was McBurney

 

[Ceebee]

Lester shattered. I really feel for him.

Poor kid.played well though.
Massive game from all the team.
So very proud.

 

[karix]

The players didn't felt like they won. Because they know the umpires won it for them. So.. no spirit.

 

[Brisbane2013]

We played so well, and i'm so proud off how we played, but we were robbed plain and simple

It hurts soo much, and i just cant be happy about our performance right now!! GAHH!

no energy because they were probs about to cop a huge spray from scott could have seen his face after the game, was not happy at alll

 

[Old Den]

Proud of the boys today...a moral victory.

 

[James North]

So proud.

 

[JasRulz63]

That's the closest a team has been to beating Geelong at Simmonds since Port beat them in 2007. The sick feeling of 'what could've been' aside, it was a great performance. Very proud.

 

[chachi11]

Your boys played brilliantly !!
You should of won... Robbed.!!

 

[pulpdriver]

That was an immense effort by the boys. Missing Brown and Merrett who would have ever given us a chance and in the end it was only a disgusting umpiring decision and a close hand that cost us a final after an arduous year.

 

[Ceebee]

Pretty clear free kick and pretty clear the ump didn't want to decide the game. Tremendous effort. Hope Paul Roos was watching that.

!@#$% Paul Roos I want Browny to coach if Harves doesnt want it.

 

[Ironmonger]

Proud mostly.

You're never going to get an even run from the umpires at Kardinia Park. And you will never got a HTB free kick in those circumstances. Chapman could have thrown it gridiron style straight out of bounds and it still would've been play on.

Our season went right down to the last second and that's a hell of a lot better than any of us thought would happen a couple of months ago.

Lots of what-ifs. But then there always are.

Go Lions in 2014.

 

[Dylan12]

That game and that decision unfortunately was symbolic of our season and left me even more bitter.

Amazing to think the Cats fans were booing off the umps as they left the arena.

The bloody nerve of those self-entitled Cats fans.

 

[Ceebee]

Shattered, angry and proud

My feelings too.

 

[knaf]

Yes Proud to be a supporter of this club again. Well done boys. Gave it everything you had. Potential coaches should be lining up to get the job.

Ps a bit hard on Lisle earlier, he fought the game out well.

 

[carnthemlions]

I really hope Lilse gets an extended run next year. He's definitely got potential, it's just a matter of showing some consistency.

 

[loyallion]

OK Getting my Angry rant out of the way.... A big F**k you to the one eyed Umpires you F**ked Brisbane over all bloody year If Geelong had been us fair and square I'd take that but NOOOOOO just like the Poort game you don't pay the Lions free kicks that are clearly there. Thanx for costing us a Finals spot you white Maggots!

 

[jjami15]

So to all you prospective Coaches out there, you can coach a team that has won only two games or a team that just missed the eight. Irrelevant my ASS! What a way to stand up boys.

 

[exile]

along with the game against the cats earlier in the season, you guys produced the best 2 games of the year, no doubt.
what an intense finish, would have been almost perfect if lester snagged that last kick properly. very unlucky, player really well today.
