Game Day Rd 21, 2014 - Collingwod vs Brisbane Lions

[GingerGreatness]

Could watch Jed's tackle and goal all day.

Must gif material.

We should just not sub Paparone on. Just to really rub it in and water down their inevitable injury excuses.

Thought exactly the same

Very unfortunate luck tonight - would've been a really exciting game had everyone stayed on.

Would it have made a difference? Serious question,

 

[Kevvo]

bollocks post.

Dunno about this. There were some snarky things said about Merrett. I think the fairly moderate snip back is probably fair enough.

Regardless, great win for us to focus on instead. When Freeman builds his tank, he could be a real handful!

Well I hope 3kz and Dylan are happy to see. Sauce carted off injured.
Go Lions.

Garbage post. There is a difference between having a firmly held opinion and being a troll. Your post is suggests you are the latter. Well done mate.

no vent thread?

Vent about what? It's been a perfect night!

Would it have made a difference? Serious question,

I posted earlier in this huge thread, but I think we still would've won. We were on top when they were all on the field.

Maybe a 30 point win or something?

My guess is Merrett has a grade 1 acl tear - no surgery needed.

Sorry that was a prick of a post. To suggest any real Lions fan would be happy to see one of our players get injured is shite.

 

[Ruse]

We will always fight for victory
Like Fitzroy and Bears of old!!!!

What a win! Go Lions!

Except last week.

 

[Kevvo]

Its a good question.

In a funny way, I thought it almost unsettled us to begin with when it was running our way and we rushed. We definitely looked switched on, and they haven't been great for months. I reckon we might've got home anyway.

 

[Haso]

Except last week.

Good post mate. You keep them honest.

It wasn't particularly nice, but it pales in comparison for the suggestions that Dylan12 was making the other night as a "real Lions fan".

 

[Cousin Jed]

Can't we just focus on the positives out of this performance? **** me dead.

imo. you would have won by about 24.
if pendles and elliott played who knows but hey, we field the best 22 available.

 

[PTizzle]

Except last week.

Inexperienced sides aren't going to perform every week. All you can ask is that when they don't perform, they come out looking to right the wrong in the next match. Think you'd be mad to suggest they didn't do that tonight!

Bollocks again. At no time did he imply he would take pleasure from seeing Merrett getting injured. He just doesn't rate him and he is entitled to his opinion. No?

Fair enough. I was thinking of some pretty heavy, personal implications about Merrett, but your point isn't unreasonable. Very happy to move on.

I don't mind Dylan's passion. He just isn't a happy clapper.

Except last week.

Good to see you're reveling in this outstanding win.

Just back from the game, MCC reserve was full of Lions and it was going off from 10 minutes in the 3rd quarter, so much so that Security was called to quieten us down, emotional scenes at the end Swanny was pumped in the race, Leppa, Brown and Black moist in the eyes and Rocky pumping as he lead the boys off. Great to see any win, but outside of a final - going to be hard to top that one for a long while. Went with no expectations and just got wowed by the boys!

 

[GingerGreatness]

Wouldn't be the first time emotion dictated what was posted in a gameday thread.

A lot of posts riding the bejeezus out of Sauce during the week don't have that excuse, but anywho...

Sorry.
Read back through your recent posts 3KZ.
I am not a troll.
Just read your recent posts.
I never bag my boys.
Ever.

On the first replay Sauce's ankle rolled hard inwards when he stood on a teammate's foot just as he jumped. With all his weight and momentum forward and the exertion up I think it would've been the moment. No idea if the resulting pressure and stress impacted the knee. I would think not, but it looked enough to say season over.

He was definitely in the circle for the song though.
