Unofficial Preview Semi Final Saturday 7:35pm vs Gold Coast @ GABBA

[GenericUsername202]

Day basically made himself unpickable last week, his unwillingness to pressure was ridiculous.

I don't think Day is as bad as some may say, but it was embarrassing when he was outbodied by a much smaller geelong player in the second half when the ball was kicked to him via the boundry line. Even the commentators couldn't believe that happened.

He’s kicked 3 goals all year, Henry smith kicked the same in 1 game, he shouldn’t of been in the team at all, like I said at the start of the year show me his last good game he has ever played

I got smashed for saying he wasn’t up to it and people posted saying I need to give him a go like as though he was some sort of first year player

And I don’t want to hear about bringing the ball to ground, that’s a bare minimum non negotiatable

His spot was always up for grabs. It just took 6 months for someone to finally show the form to take it

Why do you think we recruited Sam? Do you think we were expecting him to take Joe's role?

He was depth in an area we were thin in. He's done his job. Even if he gets surpassed he's done his job.

I believe the Suns came to Brisbane today
I suppose it takes out any big delays on the M1 that is always a possibility.

Anyone with a contact in the hotel where they're staying? Get a plan together for power outages, 3am fire alarms, no hotwater in the showers, sewage overflow, something a little dodgy in the food perhaps?

2 days early? That seems a little over the top.

Would've thought you'd take the benefit of being able to sleep in your own beds.

It's legit 45 minutes up the road. So unless they're going for a bender at fortitude valley, there was absolutely no point in going up there that early.

They're making a big effort for their last road trip of the year

He was long shot, and it turned out just that way. Some will claim he gave us structure and a mature body up front, others will say it was a wasted opportunity to get games into younger players. It is what it is when you roll the dice.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Hoping Cal and Charlie can really get heavily involved
I did have a fantasy with McKenna in the side possibly as a sub just in case we needed to inject some spark or speed or give us the option to go small up front
Pretty happy with the inclusions all the same.

Were the suns just up here for a training run on the Gabba?

Well it is their grand final, makes sense.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Thank Christ Day is out. Not thanking Fagan for playing him all year, spudding it up and costing us money. So am thanking Jesus or whoever it was that made the call to dump him.

Thank Christ Day is out. Not thanking Fagan for playing him all year, spudding it up and costing us money. So am thanking Cheesus or whoever it was that made the call to dump him.

The FOOTY GODS said, “Cheesus, Fagan must sacrifice Day and get Reville and Oscar into the team. If he does, we will bless the Lions this weekend.” Fagan had a conversion on the road to the Gabba and so it is that the FOOTY GODS and Cheesus received the burnt offering of a cooked Day and granted the Lions VICTORY OVER THE SUNS. So it is written, “when there are no Days there are no Suns.” Lions by lots.


Cheesus said, “The Lions shall eclipse the Suns.”

yeah happy to have him as depth I just would not of had him infront of gallop or the fort/mcinerney duo, he should of only played when oscars back became a problem, he offered just about nothing and prevented games into gallop

what form? they have dropped him because he was so bad, not because Oscar and gallop are in great form

No he really was. I was there last week, it was absolutely disgusting how little effort he put in. There was a part in the game, we were coming at them, got within 3 or something, Brissy is pressing and they really need Day to pressure, try and tackle, do something, anything and he literally stood and watched and then LITERALLY (and I mean it) walked away. Geelong transition down the ground for a goal and then go bang, bang, bang. His lack of effort turned the game and any remote chance we had was gone. You could see the players drop their heads and why not? They are busting their backsides off and here is this bloke standing there just refusing to get involved. That's deflating.

 

[Nathan Barley]

It just happened to be after Oscars best 2 games in the VFL when he finally looks like hes moving more freely? That's just a coincidence?

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Bit surprised they went Gallop over Day but I guess they like his defensive pressure more than they like Days contested marking which is understandable

HN Day rarely takes a mark. He dropped one last week right in front of me when contesting with a Geelong small out on the wing. No one was surprised that he couldn't take it and I was relieved that the ball went out of bounds immediately. Some one has stated that he was our most highly rated forward which is a silly stat. He was less bad than the rest IMO.

We've picked the best team we had available IMO. Hope big O clunks a few marks up forward.
