Game Day Around The Grounds - Week 1 - Elimination & Qualifying Finals 2023

[euphegenia]

GWS were in form when they ran into Port in Rnd 22 and got easily beaten…

 

[BlueTongue]

Jesus those umpires are over officiating, and everything is a Brisbane free.
Rubbish game, 100% chaos ball and everyone overrunning it.

 

[Benaly28]

Zorko is dog of a person

Oh yes.

GWS will make the grand final.

They will destroy Collingwood.

I think they'll lose to Port.
Even if not, can't see 'em beating Pies.

 

[Benaly28]

Two things.

Yes GWS are the form team but the top 4 are on a higher level to who they beat today.

Second.

It’s the Lions flag to lose this year.

Ugly ugly

Pressure level is low in this game. Very un-finals like.
Whoever plays the Lions in the pre-lim needs to make it a brutal contested slog and get into their heads.

Fagan looks like he’s been plucking his hairs out. Stress of an AFL coach I suppose.

10 minutes to go in a cut-throat final, port are 9 goals down, jhf takes a full minute to line up a goal because he has port's future in his hands (ok) then kicks it nowhere..........at least show a spark of ******* initiative........

Yep, s**t unaccountable footy. I loathe that style. Even worse when 2 teams play that style.

 

[jj1978]

Port have had zero physical presence in this game. Brisbane hasn’t had much either just made the most of their moments.

to read the saints board you'd reckon they'd just moved into the grand final.......bit losey goozy mentality over there..........

Listening to RTB presser, for a guy who arrogantly knows the answers to every problem and knows exactly how the opposition is going to play, he somehow cant see that his style of footy is going no where and has been passed over many moons ago.

 

[Manhattanite]

Gabba looked like a fortress today

But the Lions’ recent history in finals there gives some hope…

2022 Lions beat Tigers in an elimination final by just 2 points

2021 Lions lost to Bulldogs in a semi final by just 1 point

2020 Lions lost to Cats in a prelim by 40 points

2020 Lions beat Tigers in a qualifying final by 15 points

2019 Lions lost to Giants in a semi by 3 points

2019 Lions lost to Tigers in a qualifying final by 47 points

So until tonight’s win against Port their biggest winning margin at the Gabba had been 15 points and they had lost twice by 40+ points and had 3 games decided by less than a goal

It’s a good read…they’re actually arguing with each other over whether it was raining or not

 

[Dadda Dave]

I'm off for a looksie then..

It’s ironic for me to see Zorko described as a dog of a person. Because I recently saw him in person (I live in Brisbane) heading into the dog pavilion at the Ekka (our Show) with his family.

Anyway, there isn’t much commentary in here about what last night’s win by the Lions means for our own prospects. One week at a time makes complete sense. But somehow the whole equation feels more daunting to me after the Lions’ victory.

I wanted Port to win last night. A trip to Adelaide is hard as well but recency bias is we beat them by 10 goals. Brisbane in Brisbane just seems so daunting.

Correct me if I am wrong but we have never won at Adelaide Oval

I am not sure exactly. The first AFL game at Adelaide Oval was in 2011 so it’s a bit of an overrated stat.

Just checked, 0-7 at AO. I still wouldn’t read too much into it. Most of those would be when we weren’t good.

The Port board “sack Hinkley” threads have been a joy for a decade now. But they’ve outdone themselves with the latest title.

 

[Gethelred]

Port lost?
