Unofficial Preview GF v Sydney Discussion

[twhowler]

No wonder he was so keen to sell his granny tickets today. Gotta get back to Brisbane before they discover the leak

Seems particularly mercenary to sell what were probably club tickets for triple the price?!

 

[Thomasno]

Fogarty is just about the only viable option in the next [emoji638] years. I’d like someone better too, but I think he’s on the list.

Again, Allen is a free agent next year…

Definitely. That was my first reaction when I saw it, and still think it's garbage to do.

Would've been a bit smarter to sell them under another name I would've thought.

Is he? By recent reports, while not official yet, he's going to sign a multi-year deal with the Eagles.

@Jon Ralph

Oscar Allen likely to sign a contract extension of up to six years as a pre-agent. The massive pay rise for Waterman and what his deal will look like despite interest from Geelong, Melbourne

 

[lionsrules]

Is royal derby worth going to now ? I want to go find lions people

 

[BRAB]

Joe’s last dance does have a nice ring to it

Mathieson and smart in the same sentence? Do me a favour.

Forget this daniher crap. Got nothing to do with tomorrow.

After tomorrow will take care of itself

Bit of local colour. The pop up shop across the road was packed in the old Fitzroy Town Hall. Queue out the door.

It was awesome at the Napier today.

Last week I foolishly thought one grand final win and I'll never feel the need to come down here for any other gf appearances.

I talk utter crap sometimes. Awesome atmosphere, the derby pub event was awesome, as was the parade, the captains run and walking through Fitzroy chatting to other lions fans.

I'll be here for every gf we make while I am physically able. Such a buzz.

And the weather is magnificent.

 

[Gadzorks]

The AFL has given approval for Big O sit on the benches during the match tomorrow.

Fort has his own private coach on the bench. Love it.

 

[BRAB]

I’m so happy for our players and their families that they got to experience a grand final Friday without being booed or having abuse hurled at them. I can’t quite figure out what was different this year.

Had to turn a ticket down because I just could not leave my young fella to
Ride the bumps without me, could not get a ticket for him. Might just be more Lions crazy than me. For you that are going get em up, scream and have a great day. For all lions supporters, Gods speed my
friends, time to return to the glory days.

I’m MCC member so guaranteed a ticket for myself, but last year I would have skipped it to watch the game together with my kids. Lucky we all got tickets in the Brisbane ballot so could watch it together.
Head to a live site if you can - not quite the same, but you still get to be part of the big day.

I don't think it was Matho, this has Aker written all over it lol.

 

[010203]

I really, really hope I'm wrong but my gut says Sydney by at least 25. I would love nothing more than for my prediction to be wrong. Is there one more big effort left? I sure as heck hope so.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Think Sydney will win as well. If the Lions play at their peak and kick straight they can win but it's a big if coming from two tiring games and 5th place.

 

[dlanod]

Nah whoever it is/was was a big name, big enough that it got Dom Fay excited - Fogarty isn’t that, you’d be taking a punt on him coming good; plus we were in the running for him a couple years ago as a McStay replacement anyway.

I can't say but it wouldn't surprise me if Dom gets excited over some weird prospects.

Gameday thread is up.
