I haven't read all the way back so apologies if it's covered, but is there any likelihood of chasing Grundy or even Lycett, something to deal with Big O. Honestly feel like he is near the bottom of first ruckman right now.

Have to think Joey is our best and fairest this year. Was robbed of an AA and has put together a fantastic season. Still hurting but also super proud

Just need to unload so apologies... It was fantastic to be part of a grand final, but it stings oh so much to lose by such a small margin. Unfortunately it didn't 'click' like it did last week and many players went missing when Collingwood's stepped up. Most of us agreed a pass mark for the...

Heartbroken right now, not sure what else to say. Can't process anything

Wow, having been a Lions fan since 2008 and had none of the real 'success' in my tenure, I am elated to be posting today. What a fantastic season that's been put together - some highs and some writing lows, but we've made it to the big dance. Soak it up boys and make us proud. 🦁🦁🦁

Congrats to our Lachie, what a legend! He really put in a team first performance and I genuinely expected him to miss the Brownlow because of it. So happy for him, but I know he'd trade it in an instant for a win on Saturday. Let's make the final dream come true for him. 🦁🦁🦁

I can't see any specific Brownlow thread, but just wanted to put somewhere that while I feel very sorry for N Daicos if he misses out, Lachie absolutely deserves this after the Cripps debacle and the criticism he received in the media this year for playing a more team focused role.

Came to Australia in 2006 not knowing Aussie Rules existed. Joined an office where the boys was a mad Collingwood fan, and realised being a Brisbane fan would get under his skin (and being based in Brisbane seemed sensible). Have become a footy tragic and often shock people that a Pom can be so...

Gunston IS NOT going to be part of the team, no greater mistake could be made by a coach ever. Fletcher is phenomenal, Devs pressure is immense and Ah Chee can shift a game. Lyons as the sub makes sense and there's probably another 5 I'd have in front of Gunston, an injured Rich included

I had a Carlton lass screeching that they were the better team and it's only because we have every second game at home. I tried pointing out the amount of 'away' games they could get a taxi to, but apparently I was the f*head and they were the better team 😂

Just back from the game. What an awesome result! Don't know if the umpiring was as bad as it felt, but think I lost my voice shouting at them anyway. Can't believe we've made it, so excited and so proud of the boys. They've done everything and come together so well. I might make a petition for...

Who are Carlton playing again? 😂 Actually a little more nervous after watching last night's game and how the umpiring went down. A lot of frees were ignored and I think in the end it favoured the Pies style more. I think the same can be said of Carlton so hoping we don't leave it a close one...

Pretty happy facing Collingwood on GF, that was not an amazing performance. I know anything can happen on the day, but we've held then convincingly twice this year and nothing from tonight makes me worried.

Honestly not that worried. Sure Payne is a huge out, but even if Curnow kicks a bag, and don't think he has the support crew to kick the other 10 needed to make a contest. Port were supposed to have the best midfield and we accounted for them easily. And our forward line is so potent there's no...

So we're not going to get much on Payne until match day. This just adds to my anxiety for the week!!!!

Well I'm feeling particularly lucky to have a friend with Brisbane Cricket Club membership that let me get their +1s. Would have had no chance in general public sale. It does mean I have to wear a collared shirt and shoes, which goes against my usual dress code, but I get to see the boys make a...

I think I'd rather a more rounded sub and use someone like Ah Chee down back if needed, he at least plays tall. I think Curnow is the main concern, as McKay still seems to be struggling with accuracy. If it was a choice of which one to let take a mark I'd let McKay get it. I'm hopeful that our...

I agree with this... unless he puts Gunston out there, then that would be a coaching failure.

Probably not the right place to ask but it is GF related - for those of us unable to make it to the grand final, will the Gabba put on any special screening of it? Just trying to forward plan what to do to get the best experience (without being there of course).

Damn, the Dees do it again!!! I'm more confident against the Blues, but then every time I've felt confident this year, the boys have managed to balls it up.

Anyone have an idea what price the Queensland Cricketers Club tickets will be? I have a friend who is a member but she can't find pricing and I don't want to hold her up when they're realised by deciding

I can't find the angle, but I'm sure on a scene I saw, it looked as though Brayshaw leaned in to him. Whether that was to brace or not I'm not sure.

If anyone isn't going to prelim and has a couple of member codes, would love to discuss. Hope this is ok to ask here

What. A. Game!!!!! Fletcher, take a bow young man, a superb game! Daniher, Rayner, Clugga and Wilmot rounds out my five, but a special mention to Hippy who made so much happen and worked so hard. Can we just touch on the umpiring, absolutely f*ing disgraceful! They got everything going their...

Never faltered through some truly tough times when he could have picked anywhere to play, and probably earnt a chunk more too. Nothing would have made me happier than to see him lift that cup, but what a joy it has been to have him as part of the Brisbane Lions for so long. Honoured, proud and...

Getting ahead of myself but if/when we beat Port, is there a place here where I can see if anyone is not using the membership codes for the following week?

Totally agree with this - how often has Joe done the team thing rather than selfishly try to add another ten or so to his personal tally. Does ruck work and spends time up the ground. If they look beyond just number of goals kicked he has to be there. But our spread is pretty amazing

I'm getting ahead of myself, but if we make it to the GF, will anything be put on at the Gabba, or is there any other place that will be buzzing with maroon, blue and gold to really enjoy the win? Getting to Melbourne isn't on the cards.

If the prelim was at the Gabba, how difficult would it be to get tickets as a non-member? And that would be played on 16th Sep? I reckon we finish 2nd
