Anyone watch the Broncos v Panthers prelim?, what a game

Cracker of a game. Thank gawd the Panthers are out. Couldn't imagine anything worse than the same team playing in a GF 6 straight years.

Storm vs Broncos in the NRL Grand Final played in Sydney

Battle of the Bridge.

Ewww nope

I said his melts were legendary but he might have gone up another level this year.

Watching this it's no wonder they can't find Dezi.

He's disguised himself as a feral cat.

This is all true,yet Caroline Wilson and other media types seem to like him,while potting our coach who is a real gentleman and a good sport in comparison.Go figure.

I have the answer to this conundrum:

Collingwood

This is normal for Geelong

Geelong lost some of their gloss yesterday. Some of their glow.

They were truly awful. And that performance came after some recent arrogant and bratty off-field stuff from the coach and their superstar recruit, Smith.

For all their advantages, for all we hear about them being a major destination club, and for all their finals appearances - they have won two flags in 15 seasons under Scott. It’s a good record, and he’s a good coach, but he’s not the genius we’ve been led to believe. And yesterday showed his feet of clay.

Lets hope the trend of teams getting smashed in a Grand Final and having a terrible following year continues in 2026.

Somethings are impossible to polish.
I don’t think it was players or coach, I think they ran out of umpires.

11 grand finals in the last 26 years.
4 wins and 7 losses

I hate Geelong but to be fair, they were without Stewart and Cameron getting his arm broken didn't exactly help.
It was still close for most of the 3rd quarter.

Yes but Cameron did nothing before his arm was broken.

They were so vanilla yesterday. It was glorious to watch.

And Lions lost Starcevich during the match & Berry didn't play.

Not to mention the numerous other players they had on their injury list.

Geelong and fair hmmmmm. I like the part before “but”. A final is all about the performance on the day. Brisbane had more injuries and more to overcome on the day. I have not seen many top teams just smashed open on the day. Especially Geelong. For simply backing Brisbane, not loudly, I have been labelled un-Victorian and a traitor. With severe judgement. There are places where independent thought is greeted by hostility because everyone should think the same way. On here I am comfortable being feral. Childish I know, but comfortable.

You can be as feral as you like, think you have a way to go though
For me, Brisbane winning was preferable to Geelong.

Yeah I know. But I was mainly referring to Scott - and mainly because I can’t stand him.

I wonder when the term vanilla escaped from the BDSM world

Apparently the lost glow, was due to illness in the team and Danger having Gastro according to the latest posts on the Geel board.

I don’t wish injury on anybody, but the reckless kamikaze diving into contests by Danger was bound to eventually result in friendly fire and severe injury to a team mate.
