Queensland really is worse than Syria.
At least we can leave our front doors.

Queensland really is worse than Syria.
We might feel all warm and fuzzy over the Lions and their improvement since 2017. But....
For the second year running, neither 1st or 2nd has made the GF. Each time that involved Brisbane Lions.
Two years running they didn't lose a H&A game at the Gabba. Until losing 3 of 4 finals at the Gabba.
This year they played 16 of 19 games in Queensland and would have had a GF there too. But failed to make it.
In this finals system (2000-), only 3 sides have finished top 2, won their home QF, got the week off, hosted a PF and failed to make the GF (Adel 2006, PA 2020, BL 2020)
But whatever way you want to swing it. The Brisbane Lions of 2020 are a FAIL!!!!

And go watch Rugby?At least we can leave our front doors.
That’s the first time Brisbane has lost a prelim final to a team not called North Melbourne.We might feel all warm and fuzzy over the Lions and their improvement since 2017. But....

Do you remember what the 5 were ?Some time ago in on the couch they highlighted 5 key metrics that to be a challenger you needed to be top 5 in the league of at least 3 of those metrics.
Brisbane and Port were not seen as challengers in this formula.
West Coast,Richmond and Geelong were.
I suppose it works and it should be these 5 metrics that are what we measure ourselves against.
Do you remember what the 5 were ?
Do you remember what the 5 were ?
Fire, water, earth, air and love
Do you remember what the 5 were ?
That’s the first time Brisbane has lost a prelim final to a team not called North Melbourne.
Throwing, ducking, flopping and umpire intimidation seem to be the criteria to make the Grand Final.
So if you kick goals more regularly than your opponent then you’re likely to win? Who would have thought.I took a screen shot when the were discussed on here earlier.

Dunno where we sit in them probably last.
Need to be top 5 in at least 3 of them.
Throws, tap ons, holding during marking contests, illegal shepherds and throws.

Hang on - you are going too fast.1. Get ball
2. Handball or kick ball to teamate
3. Move ball down field
4. Score goal
5. Back to centre square. Rinse & repeat.
Port would have won with fair umpiring. It was a disgrace. The ump called Rozee for staging at one point and you could see his jumper stretch from the Richmond player holding him. My guess was AFL wanted a Big Cat GF but got Geelong instead. Umpiring in the second last night was pretty obviously pro Bears. Unlike the first quarter.Snake wants an inquiry launched because every team he wants to win is nailed by the umps. lol.
