Game Day Qualifying Final, 2025 - Geelong vs. Brisbane Lions

[mattsmob]

We don't really have anyone else

Looking forward to having Allen to crash packs next season

 

[Nathan Barley]

Contested footy much better that quarter but they pounced when our pressure and run dropped off

Neale came good which was exciting

 

[Bucking Beads]

We don't deserve to be this close. Good thing is we are and can still find a way if we play our best footy in the 2nd half.

Hipwood would be very handy.

Cleaned up Neale. Got him high off the ball.

Plays for a Victorian team. Will be fined and nothing else.

 

[deklares]

Gallop candidate for the sub? Unsure as we don't have marking targets i50 as it stands

 

[martinson]

We should be telling our guys to throw caution to the wind.

If we start playing well it'll do their heads in.

 

[haystark]

"that was out of their (Geelong's) control" I mean don't push players over off the ball for a start???

 

[GenericUsername202]

Man i wish we were playing better so i could laugh more at this, but we've been so bad tonight that getting pity goals from umps isn't the way to do it

 

[deklares]

Let's be honest between the woeful goalkicking and the shocking umpiring we should be 10 goals plus behind

 

[p4p1]

Honestly, I’m not sure the massive issue with the first one. Whether it was soft or not, Rayner is standing there and gets unexpectedly dropped. I would be spewing if I was a Geelong supporter but both were stupid acts IMO.
The second one we have seen paid a million times.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Was pretty funny hearing a lady scream at Rayner that’s the only way he can kick a goal.

I may or may not have mentioned he kicked a better one in the Prelim last year

Lot of candidates out there

The only thing I can think is that they’ve warned him 3 or 4 times, because if not he’s just whistled his way into an early holiday

 

[Coastal Lion]

The second half we need to ramp up pressure be clean by hand and trust our ball users to pick them apart by foot.
I have the faith suitcase will get going too.

 

[martinson]

Have we played worse in a while ?

It's like the first finals match ever for a lot of our guys . Nervous misdirected disposal by foot and especially by hand.

 

[Beware The Wounded Lion]

Okay, we got away with murder there but let's not forget, that was justice for:

1. Blicavs non HTB in 2021
2. Chapman non HTB in 2013

All is forgiven Geelong, let's enjoy the 2nd half.

 

[Squizz89]

Don’t deserve to be anywhere near this close, but as it is, we may as well try something in the second half to at least get the game going our way a bit.

Somehow need to get Hugh into the game. Maybe throw him out on the wing and bring him into stoppages that way as opposed to a standing start where his opponent can just hold him for the night.

 

[Sproj]

We are in it, just fumbling, so unlike us. If we can clean up our hands, we’ll take it. Cracking game but we got super lucky at the end there. What a crowd.

is a passenger. His lack of effort started Geelong’s run of goals there.

We got so lucky in the back end.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

2 goals down and we’ve been really poor. Game on!

 

[Johnny Bananas]

****ing hate this. It’s not footy

Go support another team.

 

[GenericUsername202]

We should be 10 goals down.

 

[haystark]

I think the commentators mentioned that they'd been at each other for a time before it all blew up.

 

[martinson]

We've been gifted an opportunity if we're good enough.

Don't see where the spark's coming from though.
