FRIENDS! RISE UP! RISE UP! LIONS SUPPORTERS ALL! YOUR TIME HAS COME! THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT IS NIGH!

Since Chris Fagan restored Bruce Reville and Oscar McInerney to the SENIOR TEAM you have had our blessing. Leaving them out of the side that played Geelong in the Qualifying Final was HERESY and it gave offence to those who control the Football Universe. Our anger was palpable, and we blessed Geelong and struck down the Lions for their Hubris. Not content to just give Geelong’s ‘good ordinary’ taggers superpowers, we supercharged their midfield with cosmic nose beers, and we struck down Lachie Neale as an act of retribution.

BUT as the Footy Gods say … a week is a long time in football, and the Footy Gods are merciful. Chris Fagan, Dany Daly, Cameron Bruce, Dale Morris and Stuart Dew came together, and having anointed themselves with Goanna Oil, each confessed the error of their ways and begged for forgiveness. They also resolved to SACRIFICE Sam Day, which was pleasing to the Football Gods, and thus our favour was won.

Since then, we have cursed your opponents. We have blinded umpires so that they do not pay ‘front on contact’ free kicks against Starcevich, we have possessed the minds of your opponents so that they lose confidence and we have invested Ty Gallop with the combined powers of Alastair Lynch, Daniel Bradshaw and Bernie Quinlan. While the Footy Gods are never wrong, we admitted that our punishments may have been harsh, so we healed Lachie Neale. When Dr. Sherwin Goh told Damien Austin and Chris Fagan that Lachie Neale’s recovery was a ‘miracle’, he spoke the truth.

The Gold Coast Suns have been vanquished, Collingwood have fallen, all because of our intervention and now it is time for Geelong to feel the lash of our curses. A Pox upon Geelong! A Pox upon Kardinia Park! A Pox upon their supporters and their painful “Gee-long” chant. All are cursed! A Pox on Geelong for sending Gavin Exell to Fitzroy! A Pox on Geelong and for stealing Ken Hinkley! A Pox on Geelong for getting the softest draw in AFL History this season. A plague on Geelong for claiming to be “the greatest team of all.”

Blessed be the Brisbane Lions. Strong shall their defence be. Always a bit of a worry, especially with his disposal, Darcy Gardiner was blessed last week, and with our help, he played his career best game. Blessed will Darcy be once again. Ryan Lester’s career resurrection has been a miracle, but it is our miracle. Our chosen vessel, 3KZ is Football likes to claim he is a good judge, but he is not. He knew we were going to elevate Ryan Lester and simply jumped on our bandwagon. He also knew that we had cursed Sam Sheldon, Dan McStay, Lewis Taylor (who didn’t take a contested mark in the last six years of his career) and Travis Johnstone, but that is another story. Tomorrow, we raise up Zorko, Starcevich, Wilmot and Fletcher. We do not need to worry about Harris Andrews and Ryan Lester, because they are already GODS!

Cursed are the names Miers, Dempsey, Holmes, Dangerfield, Smith and Atkins. Blessed be McCluggage, Neale, Will Ashcroft, Dunkley and Levi Ashcroft. Darcy Fort will be unvanquished, and Oscar plays under a charm. They will win stoppage and restarts all game, and your midfielders will win clearance after clearance. None shall stand in the way of the Lions. Geelong will go defensive, seeking to tag and restrain, but this is not how to win Grand Finals. This does the Footy Gods no honour. If we wanted to look at that sort of thing, we’d elevate St. Kilda and let Ross Lyon loose on Grand Final day, like that’s ever going to happen. Cursed are Geelong’s ‘Temu’ defence, they are set to crumble. Celebrate the resting ruckman, Lions faithful, for Oscar will score goals, but not as many as Ah Chee, Lohmann, Morris, Rayner, Gallop, Bailey and Cameron. Tomorrow will be a bloodbath! Too many weapons! Unstoppable, experienced, confident and true. The midfield will also be queuing up to score goals. Dunkley, Neale, Wilmot, Zorko, Fletcher … The Lions will blow Geelong off the park.

The Football Gods Decree that Geelong will be VANQUISHED. They may resist for a time, but the Lions will bring relentless, brutal, desperate football. All over the MCG. Everywhere. All at once. In the face of this onslaught, Geelong will fold like something that folds very quickly.

The Lions will do it for Darcy Gardiner. They will do it for Oscar McInerney. They will do it for Chris Fagan. They will do it for each other. They will do it for their faithful fans who have journeyed across lands and sea to be at the MCG. They will do it for the Fitzroy Football Club, who represent an immutable foundation, along with the Brisbane Bears, of the Brisbane Lions. A HOLY TRINITY THAT THE FOOTBALL GODS BESTOW FAVOUR UPON IN THE 2025 GRAND FINAL!

PREMIERS YOU’LL BE THIS YEAR!
So sayeth the Football Gods. Believe.

Lions by lots.

Couldn't sleep was tossing and turning wondering what side splitter ZoBlitz had come up with (imagine how many great jokes must have been tried and discarded before settling for this blinder) :) and whether the Footy Gods had spoken. Needless to say was not disappointed :)

Small matter of a footy game today as well, bitter on myself for letting Scott and Dangerflop humanise themselves at yesterday's presser, forced to respect them as great oppo.

Very proud of our team for refusing to lie down and fight to reach today, believe we can win, hope we will at least be ultra competitive, whatever happens though am and will continue to be super proud of our team; a little sad that these 23 will probably never play together again.

But quietly confident that with players returning from injury, further growth from the intrepid youngsters, and some new recruits we will be markedly improved next year, stay healthy fans this should continue to be one hell of a ride!

Go you mighty Lions!

The Spirit World tells me Geelong supporters will say, “Arm-a-geddon out of here”, early in the last quarter.

Heading out for a quick 2hr run. Calm the nerves, stop me doom scrolling all the Geelong love in the paper.
We’re still actually playing today right? I’m not just turning up that the MCG to watch 22 Geelong players take the field on their own am I?

No.
You can watch ex-Lion legend Luke Hodge present the Norm Smith medal to one of the Geelong players.
No... they will have 2 Norm Smith medals this year - one for Bailey and one for Paddy. It's only fair.
 
It’s hard not to be pessimistic with everyone else writing us off, and there’s very valid reasons as to why we shouldn’t win this game. Hopefully we can keep it close for as long as possible and the scoreboard pressure might get to them a bit. If we let them get away it could make for a very long afternoon.

First half is crucial, we need to be in it at half time. Game was done by HT in that qualifying final, even if not necessarily on the scoreboard, the game was completely on their terms.
