Game Day Preliminary Final, 2020 - Brisbane Lions vs. Geelong

[pulpdriver]

Will it sell out next week given its 2 Victorian teams and tickets are so pricey?

In minutes.

 

[jackess]

Lost the plot this quarter

 

[FLVanLandingham]

dang they've put rich up nearly forward for the big bomb goals

 

[iBeng]

CEY cant honestly find a spot in our side.

 

[jackess]

Nice handball by CEY. Need at least 10 of those each match from him.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Dropping Coleman was a mistake.

True, but we'd have lost anyway.

 

[bungalow_bill]

On the plus side either the Tigers or Cats lose a grand final next week. either will make me happy

 

[TheMagician15]

CEY is like watching Nick Robertson all over again. Just painfully unskilled

 

[martinson]

Well it's only one game . Sadly the biggest game of the year.

Still trying to process whether we just didn't turn up tonight or aren't good enough.

 

[ComicSansHumour]

Stef has looked really slow out there

 

[MSB ROYS]

Disappointing performance.

 

[PTizzle]

Have we stuck a tackle on Parfitt all night?

 

[FLVanLandingham]

EUUUUUGHH


I had already given up, but turns out I still had something in the game

 

[jackess]

Payne didn’t deserve another goal kicked on him.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Understandable that this was a big game but stuff the lot of you for shitting on the boys.

Half the people taking pot shots weren't even around the last 10 years either.

This season doesn't just boil down to one game. We were amazing and just lacked experience at the final hurdle. We'll improve and we'll be back.

 

[LionsMaw]

There's still 4 mins to go but we aren't going to win so I'm going to make my comment now and damn the consequences.........another wasted year where we think making finals is good enough. The only highlight from this year's finals was the win against the tigers. And are geelong going to be our next bogey team?

 

[deklares]

Need to upgrade CEY and Robbo

 

[scoman]

Well, at least Payne has looked good. Harris-Payne-Gardiner-Rich-Answerth-Starc backline next year?

Yes we need to play Payne next year.

 

[Shaka7]

One game in 27 days hasn't helped as well. In hindsight, a Tigers loss might have been better. Didn't help Port either.....

 

[Daddy Bolt]

Well.....we lost a Prelim in 99, so I'm putting the disappointment of tonight into that perspective - we've come a long way, shown improvement year on year and with another key forward into the mix (hopefully), who knows what 2021 and beyond will produce.

Not our night tonight, but overall, its hard to be overly critical of our guys. Just beaten by a more professional outfit.

 

[Shaq attack]

Watching Geeling forward handball out of the middle for an easy entry has made me sick.

 

[dlanod]

Payne didn’t deserve another goal kicked on him.

I don't count that, pretty sure that was incorrect disposal.

 

[martinson]

As far as Stef goes he's underdone . Guys his age get a severe injury it takes them ages.

Still...at his age.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Well it's only one game . Sadly the biggest game of the year.

Still trying to process whether we just didn't turn up tonight or aren't good enough.

We didn't turn up. If we were good enough to beat Richmond, we were good enough to beat Geelong. I do think it's clear we're missing another good midfielder though.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Was that not incorrect disposal when tackled?
