Preview Geelong. Grand Final. You know when. You know where.

[dlanod]

Have at it.

 

[The Zork]

Let’s get it.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

We belong here. Get used to it. Amazing youth, more on the way. Dynasty.

 

[Squizz89]

Cam winning the granny after the siren would be good for football. Maybe not our hearts, but good for football.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Cam is going to be the villain next week. Let’s hope it spurs him on

Kicking the sealer, where the sealer is to put us up by over 60...

 

[Nathan Barley]

Can’t not select him but I think we’d match up better structurally without Oscar

The Hawks made a move in the 4th to shift Meek out of the ruck and get a ruck in there who could offer something at ground level. With Fort and Oscar you’re almost a midfielder short at centre clearances up against Blicavs

Sounds like Neale will play unless they’re just bullshitting to throw off Geelong

Would we risk both Berry and Neale?

We don’t really have any midfield options who didn’t play today apart from Neale

Reckon Lachie will play. If he does though, I hope they don’t try any of the cute bullshit they tried in the quali. He’s fit enough to start in the middle or he doesn’t play at all.

Bez seemed pretty keen to give him it a go next week as well. Looks like so many sore boys out there and I’m worried about taking too many in. We saw what happened with Sydney taking McDonald in not fit last year.

If Bez and Lachie are 90% fit there’s only 24 on our list I’d be choosing from

It’d be a tough choice

 

[Mr Ripper]

If we do win, it won’t be by a bigger margin than last year. No Payne, no gain.

 

[Elixuh]

Can’t wait for the d o double g

 

[Nathan Barley]

4 options;

In Neale, Out Berry
In Neale, out Reville
In Tunstill, out Berry
Unchanged

Anything else?

Could Tunstill win a flag and then be delisted?

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Neale in Berry out. Berry won’t be playing. They definitely won’t pick both, way too risky.

 

[LongLion]

Was really impressed with Marshals game, particularly in the 1st half. He is going to be a gun on the wing for a long time.

You can’t drop Reville who is actually fit.

We can’t possibly go in with both Neale and Berry. I’m pretty shocked Neale is apparently good to go after (what will be) 3 weeks on a 6 week injury.

 

[Section 5]

The questions this week on injury selection.

Dunkley:
Just looked like a slight turned ankle. Let's hope that's all it is.

Neale:
Big selection issue. If he trains fully and hard he will most likely be selected. Still a gamble though
Selectors will have noted Pendlebury early subbed out. Also, Howe looked underdone
Could we name a dual Brownlow Medal winner as sub. Or run the risk and sub him out if things go south
The Cats really kept a fit Neal and an in-form McCluggage to passengers in that 1st quarter a few weeks ago.
Neale improved and ended up with quite a few possessions but was not really very effective
We can't let that happen again. Neale has shown he struggles with a hard tag too.

Berry:
Struggled v Cats when returning from that shoulder. Was okay but his opponent kicked 3 goals and also played well.
Back to his best v Suns but now that shoulder out again tonight.
Will he do everything to get up for the game or do what Oscar did and let his GF spot go to another player.
That being either Reville or Neale

Gallop:
They were looking at his ribs at one stage but played on and did not look hindered.

Lohmann:
Went to the rooms in the 3rd quarter. returned and looked fine.
Just a worry when he goes down into the rooms.

Cam is going to be the villain next week. Let’s hope it spurs him on

I really hope coaching staff tell him to channel all his energy into footy and not on the idiots in the stands.

He can make them cry more by kicking 5+ goals. Actions speak louder !

didn't look happy on the stands either. He played his card in Qualifying final, showing his hand in terms of tactics. We can go to work on it now and I don't think he'll like facing us again - especially for the big one.

Charlie is clearly enjoying his footy again and running far n wide between the arcs. Energy is pretty infectious, he got his goal too today which was the icing. I think he'll be at his best come saturday.

 

[Crow_Sting]

I support Richmond.
I live in Geelong.
On behalf of everyone who lives in Geelong that doesn’t support them and is sick of everyone assuming we love them because we live here, SHUT. THEM. UP.
We don’t want another 12 months listening to these flogs!
GO LIONS

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Neale in for Berry ?

If not Tunstill in for Berry ?

I'd like to see Lachie pushed all week at training. If he does his calf so be it. If not then it's show time.

 

[Haso]

I'm bullish.

 

[Gadzorks]

This is insane.

We have been members for a mere 17 years and for the first dozen never imagined we would get to one grand final. And this is three in a row. IN A ROW.

What a wonderful moment this is.

I no longer have doubt. The boys will bring this season home

 

[vic_LION]

Can’t believe we got here again, but now we’re here, we’re going to go all the way! Carn the lions, let’s show ‘em what we’ve been waiting all year for!

 

[010203]

I was bordering on certain we'd win in 2023, while being hopeful and not much more than that last year, so I'm going with last year's approach.

 

[lionshine]

Pumped! Cannot wait !
