Unofficial Preview GF v Sydney Discussion

[Tom14]

I will say this goes back to the rumour from a few months ago that we were anticipating something like this happening and were going hard at a young gun key forward (speculated at the time to be Oscar Allen)

Pretty confident it was/is Fogarty.

 

[IanLion]

Just win now, thats it, f*ck this sh*t, just win

 

[Squizz89]

The news is all suitably vague at this point. I wonder if it’s as simple as if we win he’ll probably go out on top; but if we lose he’ll see out his contract next year and go from there.

It’s been said by various players and staff that Joe actually took the GF loss harder than most; so it’s clearly important to him to win one.

I don’t even wanna imagine a forward line without him there next year given the alternatives and therein lies my issue, we shouldn’t be thinking about that the night before the biggest game of the year. That’s my annoyance with Cleary running with it now.

Anyway like others have said, the club would’ve known about this, so like them we just all have to put it to one side and go try and win a pretty important game tomorrow.

 

[BrisVegasDru]

Oh man a loss tomorrow will be extra devastating if Joey retires

More likely to keep going if we lose i imagine

 

[Thomasno]

Pretty confident it was/is Fogarty.

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.

 

[50Lions]

Honestly **** Mitch Cleary

Brisbane are reportedly "aware" that Joe is weighing up his options.

This makes me feel better

 

[martinson]

This has the potential to unstabilise us a little or really fire us up.

I'm thinking the latter.

 

[BuntonRules]

Chicken Little

Well his old man is retiring so he can go watch more of his games apparently. He’d have to quit his job if he wanted to travel to Brisbane every second week.

That settles it. Good enough for me. Confirmed. Darcy to Brisbane.

I can’t see this tweet, we are after a player are we?

 

[twhowler]

I can’t see this tweet, we are after a player are we?

Ah right i see it now. We have zero trade capital and there are no free agents so can’t see anything happening.

I can’t see it. Can someone please copy?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Just win ffs!!

Gutter journalism from Mitch "Tom Morris" Cleary. Hoping to god y'all get up tomorrow.

What are everyone's plans for the morning?

 

[Scubaveg]

Just reading between the lines I don't think there's much doubt it's on. We would've been looking at his next contract this year.

Whether he could change his mind depends on what other options he has planned for his life. Fwiiw I reckon a couple of journos have been sitting on this.

Yeah **** mentioned "even Jo wants to win one before he retires" during the week.

Fogarty is just about the only viable option in the next 2 years. I’d like someone better too, but I think he’s on the list.

 

[McIvor]

Oh well; if we win and Joe retires, we win a GF and how good is that.

Cam will just have to channel his inner Superboot and be the reincarnation of Bernie Quinlan and go on to be our new FF for a year or two.

 

[Ceebee]

Brisbane are reportedly "aware" that Joe is weighing up his options.

Of course they would be . They all seemed pretty happy today so doubt it’s bothering them .

Does anyone know if you can watch the Grand Final on Kayo while the match is still going? It is likely l will miss the first hour or so, but l don't want to wait until the entire match is over before streaming it.

No. It will be on Fox/Kayo immediately following the GF.

You can stream it on 7plus though

What time is the roar deal march leaving federation square tomorrow? I can't remember when it was mentioned on the podcast.

 

[Elhawko]

Hi. Sorry to intrude when it's a time for you Lions to gather together but just wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow. You best Geelong so in my eyes you are winners already! Good luck, hope you get over the line.

Did Matho leak it?

Did Matho leak it?

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