Review Preliminary Final, 2025 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

[Sproj]

We are about to play in our third GF with almost half our side under 22 and almost as many out injured...not only does the now look amazing, the future looks as good as anyone else.

 

[Sproj]

Absolute gun of a player. Feels like Morris last year, where he started standing up even more. Could be a smokey round 1 starter next year. Even with Allen and Draper

He's a lock. You can't stand up the way he has in the semi and the prelim and not be a starter next year. Hippy is out for ages anyway most likely, so it is a moot point most likely anyway.

Congrats, what a performance!

I hope the players truly believe and are capable of beating the Cats next week. Will require an immense effort. Big underdogs, but I believe they can.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

We're going to the grand final! Again!

Wilmot is my player of the match, scything through the middle of the ground.

 

[mpal6]

Jamie Elliott front on free bleating won't stop. No one wants to mention how Starcevich had eyes only for the ball and ran blindly towards oncoming traffic to cause the spoil.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Somehow landed on Clug, Ty, Dizzy, Harris and Wilmot for my votes

Thought the backline was huge let down by a couple of frees

 

[brutus76]

Bravo Lions.

Bezza my fellow Wimmera Warrior I hope there's a miracle that you can play.

People forget two kids are the big key forward blokes in this team. Two kids!!!!

 

[Viceregal]

I could type 'never.in doubt' but it wasn't looking awesome at half time...

Onwards to GF appearance 3 and hopefully B2B GF wins!!!

 

[KBLT]

Thanks for doing all of Australia a favour, guys.

 

[Helicon1]

What a team. How good is Ty Gallop

 

[Left Foot Punt]

Please take out the whole thing and shove it up the Vics!

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

What a game. Never been more proud, dunno maybe after the GF last year so could be recency bias. Ty Gallop the KID! Prove em wrong young fella!! What a win, apart from GF wins this is number 1 I reckon.

 

[Granit1962]

Well played and good luck next week, hope you smash the cats. You were much better than us today. I am surprised how good your youth is, Wilmont, Ashcrofts, Morris and Gallop. You are going to be very good for a long time.

 

[beatnik]

My back teeth are floating…I’ve had soooo many beers…cmon you little beauties!!!

 

[Juddrockz]

Congrats guys/gal's. Truely deserved that win!
We all win when those mutts are beaten.

Flying down on Wednesday again is surely going to be repeated after working well last year.

 

[blueiris]

That guy that huged Fages looked a hell of a lot like Ken Hinkley

 

[Nathan Barley]

Sounds like Lachie will play. Clear shift in the message from Daly and Fages

Maybe mind games to throw off master coach Chris Scott

Thank you Brisbane ... the footy world (sans filth) salutes you.

Hopefully you can knock over Jee-long (clap/clap/clap) next week.

 

[beatnik]

This group have been building and building since Fages arrived….now anyone who pulls on the jersey knows what is required…what a team…what a coach…what a win!

I don’t care what happens next week, we’ve already exceeded expectations, thank you Lions

 

[Albi_Mangler]

All the vic commentators complaining

Jamie Elliott front on free bleating won't stop. No one wants to mention how Starcevich had eyes only for the ball and ran blindly towards oncoming traffic to cause the spoil.

Vic bias commentators were cheering on Elliot to be the hero. Was a perfect spoil by Starce and should have been commentated like that. Brilliant piece of defending, spoiling the ball before making limited contact with the player.

 

[p4p1]

C'est notre plaisir.

Great now we are speaking Armenian in here.

 

[Mooch]

This voting system is messed up. Can I really only pick 5?

Harris, Ty, Motty, Dunkley, WAschcoft, Bruuuuuuuce, Hughy, all of them. You little beauty.

 

[fugitive]

Unbelievable effort by this team to make the GF with our injuries and draw. It was probably a good thing that we got to see Geelong’s cards in the QF, I think we’ll be much smarter for it.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

I love Lachie but if he's not quite right we've looked better without him...
