Game Day Round 21, 2025 - Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions

[010203]

Hopefully this time Rayner lines up Daicos good and proper.

An early, legitimate rattling of Nick Daicos's ribcage would be good.

 

[CarterS]

Well the pre-game beers will be good.

About as pessimistic as I’ve been pre-game for 2-3 years. Pies by 6 goals.

It's been a long season and we've had a heap of crunch games in a row, I feel like it's catching up to us.

 

[010203]

I'm more confident in the Sydney, Freo and Hawthorn games than this one.

 

[braddsey]

Getting excited! Come on Lions - save me from hearing that f@cking Collingwood song at the ‘G again.
(and i won’t be leaving early so no loopholes!).

Let's just hope the umpires know how far 50m is after the last match against the toothless mob.

The bolded sounds good in theory, but what happens if in a close final/GF in the last minute of play a goal is given which retakes the lead, everyone can clearly see that the ball deviated off a post via the broadcast, but the goal/boundary/field umpires all missed it, in other words a howler mistake.

What would the reaction of most fans/media/players/coaches be?

A- Oh well, that's the way it goes, que sera sera.
B- Outrage at an avoidable error.
C- The team on the good side of the error-

The dumb arse score reviews are not 100% correct either! The human error should never be taken away.

Pretty much how i see it. Losing this game would mean top 4 is pretty much gone, and it would put our top 8 chances at risk. We simply cannot lose any games for the rest of season given just how tight the top 8 currently is. Fages needs to go back to the dancing on ice thing he did last year, because that's literally where we are right now.

Part of me wants to lose the game tonight so we can go on and win the premiership just to (as Teddy said) stick it up em who have no faith or supoporters who think we will fail.
Naaah, no part of me wants to lose tonight but if we do no doubt the negative nellies will be in their element once again while I will always “happy clap” until the end.

I know they're not but taking the goal review away would make it worse IMO.

You'd be fine with the Lions losing a GF by a point in the scenario I suggested SL?

 

[mpal6]

Excited to see if Henry Smith could translate his VFL form to AFL.

Could be our trump card if he clicks this late in season. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully the best thing about this game isn't just Kath's presence on the coverage.

I’d be OK because the game would be a better game…not because the Lions lost….hypothetically.

Did we head down a day early this week?

 

[M Malice]

Did we head down a day early this week?

No, went down yesterday as usual.

I was thinking like you that we may have went down earlier and made it feel like a special event seeing it's such a huge game.

Fly is a 3 x Premiership Lions legend but does anyone else find him to be just a tad annoying/cringy/condescending* in his media appearances.

* Finding it hard to articulate exactly the right word do describe my vibe on it.

"We're not losers" even when they lose.
