Game Day Brisbane Lions v Geelong Cats, Round 22 - 14:10 AEST, Aug 17, 2019

[Jeeves]

No it wouldnt. If Geelong had won we just had to beat the Hawks.

Only if the Lions lost to Richmond next week.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Top of the table clash and worthy of that and more.

The Lions have proven to be the real deal for me.

Only if the Lions lost to Richmond next week.

Which is very likely to happen at the G

We arent happy at all. Have you read the thread? I'm ******* pi**ed.

Have faith, like I said, tomorrow is as much a statement match as a matter of ladder position. Home ground advantage/disadvantage isn't as much of a factor for us. We haven't lost at the G in 2 years. We play well at the Gabba despite round 1. Either way it's not something the Eagles can control. If we're good enough we'll do what it takes.

 

[DaRick]

Holy hell...I still can't believe we stole that.

We were behind for most of the game, we were being bested in midfield, we had players off with injury in the heat and the umpiring was...unsympathetic.

Yet we somehow managed to even up the midfield battle and steal it at the death - against the (formerly) #1 side no less.

If we weren't the real deal before, we are now.

Geelong played much better than they have in recent weeks and were unlucky to lose.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

You may not either.

We're guaranteed top 2. We'll play you blokes in the QF and beat you.

 

[Macpotata]

So 1996 Like where the Brisbane Bears finished the round in top spot on the AFL Ladder coming from 9 points down at 3qtr time to win by a point! That was against Freo, in the second last home and away game of the season, played at the GABBA.



WTF

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Good win for the Lions. Have to be a chance for the flag. Geelong are a decent side.

We're poorly coached. That was the difference today. We lost at selection.

Need to the beat Richmond at the G for mine

We got a decent team rolling around atm aswell

 

[Milanista28]

Chris Scott pretty much lost Geelong that game.

Only Danger turned up for you guys. Not all on Scott

 

[PerthBoy86]

Geelong have to lose to Carlton at Skilled and eagles and Brisbane have to both beat Richmond at the MCG. Granted it’s possibke for all those things to happen but it’s unlikely.

Chances are top 2 will be Brisbane and Geelong.

Given our respective forms I don't think it's that unlikely. It'll be tough, but a realistic possibility. If Richmond finish 4th Cats would probably rather travel to Perth or Brissie than play Richmond at the MCG I should think.

 

[Vindicater]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Geelong even with 25 players can't get it done.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

We're guaranteed top 2. We'll play you blokes in the QF and beat you.

No chance. If the season was 12 rounds I'd back Geelong in. As usual, they're falling apart at the seams.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

It may come down to that.

12 months ago, who'd have thought that?

 

[demondavey]

Top 2 gone and won't win finals in Perth or Brisbane. It's done, mate.

They lost by one point on the road....

 

[Jeeves]

You won't finish top 2 now.

We definitely can finish top two but will we? By winning both of the last two will guarantee it.

 

[QueenslanderTiger]

What a game!

Also loving all the salty West Coast fans hoping Geelong would do them a favor.

Lions top of the ladder!!

Next week will be huge.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

It may come down to that.

12 months ago, who'd have thought that?

Helps when your team has * all injuries and key players playing well

 

[Corkintheocean]

You do realize Geelong losing is very bad for WC right?

Not if we beat Richmond tmr. It is optimal result. Both Vic teams heading interstate week 1.

 

[WCfan22]

It may come down to that.

I live in brissy so watch most of their games. On their form last year I was saying to workmates that go for the lions watch them go up to the top this year. They weren't far off the mark last year lost a lot of close games just seemed like they had a decent system going. So I'm not real suprised

 

[sedders]

No faith mate bring em all on we'll take em down

yeah may as well finish 8th by your logic.

 

[WCfan22]

yeah may as well finish 8th by my logic.

Edited for accuracy

 

[Coaster2012]

So you'd prefer have us need to beat Tigers at the G than not?

Ok then.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Hahaha give me a spell. That was the best game I've watched since the Grand Final last year. If you didn't enjoy that you should probably just stop watching footy.

I see you enjoy wrestling
