I'm going to get in early and ask if anyone on this board has a membership barcode they're willing to let us use for this final. My group are all hardcore Lions fans but we have a casual supporter who didn't get a membership this year.

If anyone can't make it to the game, we would very much appreciate your help to add another loud Lions voice at the G.
You shouldn't need additional barcode. Email just came from the club, can purchase 10 tickets per barcode, and maximum 10 tickets per transaction.
 
Anyone remember cost of tickets from last year finals at the MCG (excl. grand final)?

You can use the link in the email you received from the club now to look at tickets, you just can’t buy them. It appears that level 1 and 2 are $105, and level 4 is $58 to $77 dependent on how close you are to the front.

A lot of talk about the draw but if we ran out that last quarter against the crows with a little but of poise and won it like we should've then we would've finished first
Yes, reflecting on the season so far our best footy is clearly the best IMO, just got to bring it for 3 more games.

woulda coulda shoulda... can't undo what's been done, so look forward. We've got a qualifying final at current spiritual home ground!

Just more a point that we came that close to finishing first despite the hardest draw, short preseason and tonnes of injuries

Yep - against top-9 teams we were/are top. I think first crack said 8 and 3?

Fingers crossed Lachie & Bez come back in and we get no more injuries for the remainder of the season.

Fage's said both are certain ins for the QF, also mentioned Berry could have played last night, they decided to be over cautious with him.
 
It'll be an interesting finals series. There are some really one-sided matchups in recent history:

AdelaideGeelongBrisbaneCollingwoodGWSFremantleGold CoastHawthornBulldogs
Adelaide (W-L-D)N/A0-52-2-11-42-31-42-32-33-2
Geelong5-0N/A1-43-21-43-23-24-13-2

Hawthorn3-21-44-13-22-31-41-4N/A1-4
Bulldogs2-32-31-43-24-13-23-24-1N/A

Adelaide against Geelong, Collingwood and Fremantle (huh).

Geelong against us and GWS.

Us against the Pies and Hawks.

Hawthorn against Geelong, Freo and Gold Coast (strong change Hawks go home early, which removes one problem matchup for us).

A lot of this finals series might be dictated by who gets who in the first couple of weeks.
 
Reported on Foxsports that Snoop Dogg is being paid $5,000,000 for his GF performance, is it just me or is that an obscene waste of money?

Why do we need "big" international acts, AFL is not and never will be an international sport, just focus on making it as good as it can be for the niche Australian market.

Why not pay a good Australian act $500,000 and spend the left over on grass roots footy.

Could not agree more!
I find the cultural cringe
Nauseating. 🤮
 
I'm a little slow on the uptake with this but thought I would write it down to ingrain it in my mind.

If the Suns win by under circa 30 points- they are away v Giants.

If Suns win by over circa 30 points- they are away v Dockers.
____________________________

We play the winner of Dockers v Suns or Hawks in a Semi Final if we lose v the Cats.

If the Suns do the unthinkable and lose v the Bombers they miss finals and the Dogs make it to an EF v the Giants and the Dockers v Hawks EF is a lock.
If Essendon score...Gold Coast need...Margin

Were Gold Coast to win 25-9 they finish on the exact same percentage as Hawthorn. That's advantage to Gold Coast because they won the game between them this year.

Bah humbug! If true that's insane. Other than the poor publicity, how does this contribute to our sport? Was there a generation in Australia who grew up listening to this bloke? AFL do us all a favour and drop it like it's hot.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game
 
We've just finished inside the offense and defence premiership window for the season.

We're ranked 6th for defence and 5th for offence.

Pretty sure the rule of thumb is no team has won the premiership this century if their defence and offense isn't top 6. (Think there might be one exception for the Offense part)

Good omen!
Brownie will be happy n relieved now.

Just placed an order for my 2025 BELIEVE scarf, and a couple of hanging flags for the front of the house. I'm now finals ready!

Conveniently I had a lions shop voucher for $110, and it came up as $110.24. :cool:
(I hope bloody auspost can get it delivered in 7 business days).
