Wow lids off at fox sports.

Wow lids off at fox sports.

From reading the article it is more that the lid is extremely on for the Pies. Our projection has increased by one win, whereas I think collingwood and GWS have gone down a bit more.

 

[Mr Ripper]

This thread makes me genuinely uncomfortable, but at least you aren’t gloating over the injury list.

 

[luthor]

I’ll be in England on GF day!

Soft

Soft

Yeah, but you don’t want me there. Only one I went to in four years was 2004.

 

[Apex61]

Lids blown off.

 

[Vipertooth]

9 out of 10 doctors believe the lid is off, YOU LITTLE BEAUTY!

The 1 out of 10 that don't believe it are Collingwood supporters.

I made a POLL for the thread. Feel free to let us know how you feel after our great win over GWS.

Well....that would be a unique set of finals

Pretty sure that all four of those matches would be the first time that those teams have ever met in a Final

Collingwood has definitely played Adelaide in the finals before. Other 3 definitely could be unique matchups though.

Yes you're right

Collingwood and Adelaide have indeed met before in three finals.


2002 PF, 2008 EF and 2009 SF

3 finals in Victoria, despite the 8 being predominantly non-Victorian.

 

[JacobSamson]

Lid last seen floating somewhere in the south pacific.

So... according to Foxsports - we only need ~4 more wins. Wowza!!!!

Could we even push for top 2?

Fox Sports Three Word Analysis

BRISBANE LIONS: Can win it.

 

[SizeMatters]

Still hav this sinking feeling afte everygame that e have been lucky playing opposition at the best possible times (outside Blue game with that weird new coach thing) I mean opposition injuries etc all lining up in favour of us
while probably true a bit i think if we can win against Port next game we are a legitimate flag chance
called it earlier in the year too!

 

[Nunez]

Adios lid!

 

[Nunez]

Only fitting we send our lids off after beating Brett Lids Delidio.

Richmond definitely played Port the year they won 9 straight to finish the year. Cotchin won the toss and kicked into the breeze, they lost by 60 odd.

 

[Lionheart182]

Oh and by the way...

LID IS OFF

 

[Biggies]

I'm on board now

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

I am thinking we need to seize the opportunity and win the flag this year. We are hitting form, have minimal injuries and have a number of our best players in career best form. We need to make the most of it and win the flag.

This could well happen. We could be like the Bulldogs and just have everything ‘click’ for us.
