Fly's always been an emotional roller coaster sort of guy. Most times he hides it well.

What was the crowd?

96k apparently sounded Huge especially the boos for Zorko

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

96K

Our fans were louder

 

[blueiris]

I don’t want Allen, would rather Ty.

Ty Allen McMorris will be great I'm backing Us in to finish top 4 again next year

 

[Lockie]

Just got home. That was one of our most amazing wins. Some of our players are really wounded but Jesssss that was wonderful. On the train thinking - did that really happen? They were so loud but we made ourselves heard. What a week to come - fingers crossed I get a tick in the ballot

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Gardiner and Big O to have big games next week

I was at the ground and gardiner had a great game. Won many crucial one on ones and Brodie M. will not want to watch a replay of this game. Harris Andrews and Wilmot were also in my best. They had under 15 scores and apart from Elliot our defence killed them.

Hipwood?

Hipwood?

Injured likely missing first half of season

 

[MattD2308]

All the best next week, just far too clean and strong. Losing Pendles didn't help without leadership, and Howe and Mihocek were clearly not fit.
Cheers

The other thing that was impressive to me is that even though I know Morris is an impressive talent I wasn't getting carried away like some others.

But he's now executing exquisite smart plays in big moments in big games. The guy's a gun.

Welcome to the band wagon

BOG tonight - our fans in Melbourne.

Outnumbered but not outgunned. Just about made it a neutral venue.

To beat the Pies at the G is what Melbourne footy is all about.

It's embarrassing

Go the lions ,thankyou from the rest of australia hope you smash the pussies, go the fellow big cat!

Voss the only former Lion that hasn’t turned into a flog after becoming an AFL head coach.

 

[LongLion]

Hard to hate McRae. An absolute star in his press conference.

Yea he was OK and I tried to dislike him

 

[PaddleFoot]

Thought Gardiner had a really good game and I've been very critical of him in the past

He was the 4 quarter player tonight. Immense game. In fact all the Darcys were in and at them. Epic.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Recall posting during the middle of the season that Harris was playing stroppy, undisciplined football. Last couple of months he’s had the onfield demeanor of a kid enjoying the rides at Disneyland and his accompanying form has been immaculate. Maybe that Heeney ad is right.

And how ‘bout TyGa eh

 

[martinson]

The most important player to a team in any team in the comp, is Andrews imo.

When the opposition go out of their way to keep it away from you you know how crucial he is to your structure.

I'm sure we've learnt something from 2023.

 

[LongLion]

If you did a combined team from 01-03 and 23-25. I don’t think Mal Michael is at FB.

Harris ***** Andrews.

Without a doubt

 

[Full Wingspan]

The ironic 'U S A' chant from the Lions fans in the last quarter was truly special.

What a club. What a team. Love them all.

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.

I actually think he got to the side so in a game where clearly they put the whistles away (aside from a couple of shockers) it wasn’t the flashpoint that everyone is blowing up about
