Review Round 24, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Hawthorn

[Lets Roar like '44]

No need for that rubbish after such a good win that he was solid in. Have a spell

You’ve called umpires hacks and cheats. I think you need the spell.

 

[Mitchyy]

Well done guys. Too good, I enjoyed the game! If Hawks don't go far in finals hope the Lions can win.

 

[Nathan Barley]

We’ve kicked 46.27 at the MCG this year

mccluggage is my favourite player to watch in the whole comp

 

[FLVanLandingham]

When Neale went out I thought it would be the making of Hugh.

Absolutely I feel vindicated. My god, as the top midfielder he's like syrup - silky smooth and oozes between gaps.

I must be hungry, I felt some weird things reading that

Pretty incredible result from this group. We do it the hard way some times which is frustrating but so proud of them regardless. This year has been full of adversity and we've always seemed to find a way.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

For you that wrote us off and I imagine turned it off- you missed a great game.

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

Feel sorry for Hugh. We ripped him off with his contract if lesser players are getting $2m per season!

Looks to be carrying a knee atm too so hopefully two weeks off will do him good and he’ll be primed for a big finals series. It’s really his midfield now.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Rocky in the rooms interviewing Froggy.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

McCluggage is outstanding, Wilmot is dead set special.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Our scramble defense is incredible to watch. Where has that come from

 

[brutus76]

The cowpoke from Panmure is a damn good footballer

 

[Happy_Neale]

Day and Gallop are not up to the standard. Gallop may improve with age but I cannot see what we see in Day.

Stop gap until Allen arrives next year. Regardless no need for that poster to be so denigrating

 

[Tricky Dicky]

What a great club.

 

[Saucery]

58 today, great way to end celebrations. Stupidly frustrating on the score board but the kids are amazing. Even without our best squad the game plan holds up and most importantly the replacements trust the plan. If Raynor could play 4 quarters, he would be another Voss. Oh and Andrews is a defensive GOD, I never played AFL I was from the UK and played FA football, but he is what I would call a premier league sweeper. His footy IQ is off the charts.

We share a birthday Saucery. Have a good one

To finish 3rd is amazing. Such a hard draw and

Would be great to get Bez and Neale back. Probably Tunstill and 1 of Reville or Marshall miss out

Always welcome here Brutus, hope you'll be on board for finals!

Will be tough to split Bruce and Marshall. Like the upside of Bruce but feel like Marshall just finds ways to get involved and pop up in good positions. Either way one should still make it as sub

The eldest lost her prelim today.

Seeing the Lions win has put a smile back on her face for the night.

 

[Saucery]

Honestly could not have finished in a better spot. Geelong hasn't played a decent team in months, and we get to take them on at the G, after a brutal end to the HA season. They won't know what hit them.

 

[rwan566]

Day and Gallop are not up to the standard. Gallop may improve with age but I cannot see what we see in Day.

Don’t agree at all gallop created great contest when the alternative was someone like smith or oscar. Gallop tackled hard and halved every contes and day also provided some great contest as well, just lacking goal kicking skill

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Playing every week worked well last year, this weeks break and a week off before the prelim could be the perfect tonic for this sore team.
