Certified Legendary Thread Lions go B2B : Grand Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

[martinson]

In hindsight where we got the game on our terms was Andrews, Lester , Gardiner ,Fletcher , Zorko , Starcevich , Fort and Ah Chee defending as if their lives depended on it against an horrendous free kick count ,keeping us in the game as Geelong spent all their tickets and exhausted themselves .

 

[Darren Downunder]

Swore black and blue from early in the year that the Lions wouldn't go back to back. I was wrong and I'm sorry .
It was an entertaining match, second half was indeed a goal-fest.

Congratulations + enjoy the back to back adulation

I didn’t think we could go back to back either.
This time last year we had just squeaked by GWS and Geelong to get into the Grandfinal.
We had lost our elite full forward while Geelong, and Collingwood had both got stronger with off season trades.
This really has been an extraordinarily performance.
What ever happens next year, I think we will look back on this as a golden era.

Yep, his name is Joe. B2B wouldn't happened without what he did in the Giants semi.

We don't have to look back Darren.
I've been a footy tragic since I was 7.
I've experienced golden eras on field, off field and as a supporter.
This is a golden era right now and we're up to our eyeballs in the thick of it
Hang on tight and enjoy the ride !

Getting plenty of nice comments wearing my scarf out for brekky this morning. What a time to be alive

 

[BuntonRules]

Still got goosebumps. Still on cloud 9.

All those years ago the Suns gave us Zorks. All along he has been the player that club needed.

Not Gardiner's biggest fan, but the junkyard dog is who you need to win finals - his best 2 games for the Lions have been the last 2 weeks.

Forty. Has cheap insurance ever been a better investment?

We just witnessed something special. That 4minutes from 3/4 time till 4 minutes to go is the best football ever played.

Watched the replay last night.

From about 8 minutes to go in the third until the final siren of the fourth is a thing of beauty.

We were in the ‘twilight zone’ where we literally could not mess anything up if we tried. Beautiful to watch.

 

[rye]

was amazed at how physical the team was yesterday. geelong couldnt buy an easy possession and just looked rattled by halfway through the second quarter.

i had a coach who once told me that the best teams in anything have a bit of campaigner in them and play on the edge - we've developed it in spades

goal just before three quarter time is the culmination of our progress in the last 7 years in my opinion. Iconic

 

[RAPPA]

Congrats Brissy fans. Magnificent game. The two tackles from Rayner on Sniff in the last were chef’s kiss

 

[Daka]

I just wanted to say congratulations to the Brisbane Lions on going back-to-back.

You have made the world seem normal again.

 

[mattsmob]

The Lachie Neale goal just before three quarter time is the culmination of our progress in the last 7 years in my opinion. Iconic

Loved how it was Zorko who burst through to pick up the loose ball and gave it to him as well. That whole last quarter and a bit was like a fever dream the way it played out.

I remember watching a podcast by a Carlton Fan recently (suggested by someone on here) and he went on and on about how brutal we are. I hadn't really thought of our boys in that way until then.

’s press conference. ‘We had challenges through the year we didn’t think we’d be able to overcome, we didn’t think we’d be able to compete’. Then when asked about it did not want to engage anymore about it. Bizarre behavior

Yeah loved it. Smith must’ve been tackled 20 times. He’ll be having nightmares about WAsh and Cam

He could have a career in American politics holding press conferences like that

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

The big issue coming out of yesterday's match will be the prostate problems of older men. Dangerfield had to go off for a quick wee. There are a few high quality urologist who visit Gee-long monthly.

The Gee-long club must get on the front foot and get it seen to.

Danger looked strained in his post match address and now you all know why!

 

[fugitive]

The pre-game replay is such a good laugh with all the armchair experts making the wild Lachie calls and how desperately Lyon was talking up Holmes. So satisfying to see these w**kers getting an egg in their face.

It’s funny I was a bit sad yesterday thinking that we could be waking up today no longer the reigning premiers. But now we get at least another year of being the reigning premiers and the top team

can take a hike too.

 

[NMBB]

Well done you lot - quality coach, quality captain etc etc

 

[Hollow Knight]

Pretty happy tbh.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Watched the replay on Fox Footy last night.......one thing I noticed which I missed during the live game was our fans singing the players song after they goaled......or did Fox put the songs in, in the background? Sounded real to me though, hope it was.

..I smiled, teared up and got goosebumps all at once, loved it.

Noticed that too, on ch7 you couldn’t hear it, the ads didn’t help though.

 

[Cockliff38]

A penny for the thoughts of that poster who flipped from Brisbane to Geelong because we were so sh*t.

 

[Gav Man]

Does anyone know who was yelling and knocking on the door during Fages and Will’s press conference (I am assuming his initials may be DW)???
