Lions need a key forward to take the next step Hipwood is talented but goes missing too often and Mcstay honestly isn’t good enough

Hipwood will be better, and I think McStay is solid enough. Probably need a few more medium sized players that can crumb and score. They’ll be better.

Considering GWS won off a blatant throw, I don't blame them

Stuff gets missed every game. The people who expect umpires to not make any mistakes are the ridiculous people.

And Sydney's West is going wild!!!

Yet still put up more of a fight than your mob.

Depending on how they pull up gws are a genuine chance the only area they lack is that grundy will destroy in the ruck everywhere else they break even or up forwards especially without de goey gws are well ahead.

Rubbish.

Game of the year.

Tigers eagles a few weeks ago was the game of the year. This one was pretty good however.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

The Lions will bounce back next year fiercely I reckon

Nuh, they’ll have a harder draw and will struggle. They had an amazingly soft draw this season.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

AFL will get their dream Pies Tigers GF.

If anything the afl want the giants to win a flag

 

[Red Bull]

Cracking game
Congratulations to both teams

Everyone laughing at us.

We were a bottom 4 club for how long, this was a bloody amazing season. 3 points away from a Prelim against a team with what, 4 years straight finals experience?

Bloody proud of my club, boys, which a lot of them are, gave everything. A throw in the end got them the win but we wasted chances.

Bring on the next few years with this team.

Favourite side to watch play this year was Brisbane and it wasn't even close.
Your side plays the way I wish most sides would, fast flowing football.
Have got some really good young players and are set up for a period of sustained success which will be a pleasure to watch.

If GWS were not a soulless, plastic, vacuous club you’d be onto something.

Didn't you guys change your colour for an m&m ad?

Enjoy our off cuts from NEAFL.

Not 50/50 at all. This was a gruelling match. Pies had a rest and are fresh for next week.

Pies will demolish them. The MCG factor makes it more certain.

Team with the break has lost the prelim a few times. Richmond last year, GWS and Geelong in 2016. Sometimes a tough match is just what you need, having the momentum etc. Sometimes the break can be detrimental to you.

And Sydney's West is going wild!!!

Looks like the stadium after all the bulldogs fans left when it turned into a rout.

That’s how the Bulldogs managed to win a flag

 

[carlton2dabone]

The problem is that people seem to love complaining and being the victim so much that they almost hope the umpiring is crap just so they can complain.

You'll never see so much hysterical whinging as there are in bigfooty threads over tiny umpiring decisions.

Yeah nah.
What people want is for umpires to pay the most obvious free kicks and let the tight touch free go.

Why is that so bloody hard?

See 2 players grappling, let them go, don’t pluck out a soft holding free that could go to either player.

Leave the whistle blowing to the most obvious free kicks only and let the game flow

If GWS win the flag, do they also get a Plastic cup?

Dead set vermin - club, players and coach

 

[irish]

What about the GWS throw to gift them the last goal ! Bloody cheats

 

[Colonial]

If anything the afl want the giants to win a flag

Lol you are insane if you don't think they want the Tigers pies GF more than anything.

They want is in finals yes but compared to 2 of the big 4 in a GF? Not even a hard decision.

I’ll never not be Swans first. But it’s awesome barracking for the little bro when we’re out of it. The Vic Vitriol makes it so worth it.

#straightsetlions

Let’s get it trending

Yeah nah... Bottom four side last year, they done extremely well this year. Can't hang s**t on them.

Who’s to say Richmond won’t lose to Geelong then?

I feel it is irrelevant this year. Pies and Tigers will be the Grand Finalists.

 

[JoeHawk]

His behaviour (maybe I'm misreading it admittedly) seems to suggest that he's bowing out.

And having Birchall, Lewis and Roughy there could also suggest it could be the end. What a legend.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Flogged in the first final then heart break the next

I probably wouldn't think about football for the next 6 months if i were a Brisbane fan haha

It was a week ago mate. Go to your kennel and enjoy the holidays.

 

[Tas]

GWS would be unstoppable if they had a half decent coach.

Can't blame him, he had to learn the ropes under Eade yelling abuse at Minson
