Review Semi Final, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

[Tom14]

Anyone still think we were better heading for an early exit, get a longer off season?

At most it is a 3 week difference, c’mon.

To the entire AFL media that wrote us off because of last week's loss. Suck my balls

I admit I kind of did, happy I was wrong. Was happy for either side to make it.

Really hope the lads are switched on vs Coll. They'll be rabid at the G.

I’ve got such a man-crush on Dunks.

 

[Zhesty]

Getting Rayner around the ball is so important.

Commiserations BT

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Excellent game. I had my doubts at the start but Harris was a rock and the midfield were dominant. Now let's crush the black and white flogs!

We've known all season our best is the best. Injuries have hindered that but when we show up, there aren't many who can go toe-to-toe and unfortunately for the little brothers, we showed up.

Question will be if we can do it again next week. Will be a tough ask but looking forward to getting back to the MCG.

 

[Paul Mac]

Well i thought we were gone and even if we won tonight i thought we had no chance against the pies but what i viewed of Gallop in the second half and the positioning of Oscar around the forward line, ive got a bit of hope back against the pies.

 

[braddsey]

Only one I’m slightly worried about after that is Hugh. Think he’s really struggling with that knee and we neee him to be somewhere owe to his best to be a chance next week I think.

Edit. Just saw his stats but live he didn’t seem to have as much impact as we would come to expect. Not as clean as normal imo.

They showed the work he did at half time in Fox coverage. A lot of inside work you don’t necessarily see. With Lachie out, he in there feeding the ball out.

 

[beatnik]

I'm going to say it. We're a better team without [a heavily injured] Neale.

You’re a casual

 

[LionKing]

Dunks

 

[Mr Ripper]

Regardless of what happens over the next week or two, it’s been a remarkable premiership defence.

Really happy with Chuck’s efforts tonight.

 

[braddsey]

Getting Rayner around the ball is so important.

He’s wasted at full forward.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Stoked that Oscar got through.

Can build a narrative around getting him to the grand final. Could be the emotional spark we need.

Collingwood had a lucky draw getting Adelaide…they’re vulnerable

Oscar gives a deep target, they can drop it on his head. He may not mark it, but he does get hands to it. Then our forward line works because it goes to ground deep in F50 and we can trap it in.

Only won 3 of their last 8 games

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

SENSATIONAL WIN, BRING ON NEXT WEEK. GO THE MIGHTY LIONNNNS

 

[3KZ is Football]

AND SO IT WAS WRITTEN! ALL THAT WAS PROMISED CAME TO PASS!
The Footy Gods are with you. The Lions will smite Collingwood next week.

Haven’t you written us off like 13 times this year?

Resting ruckman in the forward line is very 1980’s and very dangerous for opponents.

You could say that about any poster tbh

Stoked that he played a good game too. Made a good contest up forward and impact in the ruck. Very happy for the Big O!
