Review Round 24, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Hawthorn

[Big Sauce 21]

Last year qualifiers were Thursday night & Saturday afternoon, eliminations Friday & Saturday nights.

Crows v Pies (Thursday night)
Cats V Lions (friday night)
Giants v Hawks (Sat Arvo)
Freo V Suns (sat night)

My thoughts. I think suns will be given the last game with playing later than everyone. (this is of course they don't somehow mess it up against the bombers)

Fagan putting Day on the bench at the end one of his better moves. Absolute spud that guy.

Casual.

Can't say I love the pre finals bye but it's come in handy this year around Lachie's potential return.

 

[DevRoboGun]

I was really impressed with Gallop. Did a lot of little things which enabled us to break even in a contest. Day was sloppy towards the end but should have kicked 2 in the first quarter.

I love Bailey but caught him napping on defensive pressure a fair few times tonight, doesn’t always have the desperation (but likely will in finals)

 

[Toffee Lion]

So in the wash up, the draw against North was as good as a win.

But the loss to Melbourne cost us Top 2

 

[beatnik]

You’ve called umpires hacks and cheats. I think you need the spell.

That doesn’t make sense…I mean, they were hacks AND cheats

I’d honestly rather play Geelong at the MCG.

 

[brutus76]

Normally the Lions v Cats would be Saturday but the AFL need to be a little accommodating to the Suns if they win by the required margin 30+ to finish 7th to fly all the way to WA to face the Dockers so I think Cats v Lions on a Friday night packed MCG

 

[Toffee Lion]

I’d honestly rather play Geelong at the MCG.

I concur.

 

[DevRoboGun]

I’d honestly rather play Geelong at the MCG.

I don’t want to play at the Gabba again, I hate it

He might make it from week 2 onwards but I don't expect him to be fit for Geelong in week 1.

 

[010203]

Berry is likely to play against Geelong.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Cam had donuts at 1/4 time right ? Big finish

 

[Jivlain]

Why do we need to have a final against Geelong every year?

In the past 6 years we've played as many games against Collingwood, Melbourne and Geelong as against Gold Coast.

Think he had 10 disposals in the last quarter along with the goal

 

[Hollow Knight]

He might make it from week 2 onwards but I don't expect him to be fit for Geelong in week 1.

He nearly played this week. He will play very Geelong.

 

[The Zork]

the Amon call - with the pressure building I think it was one of those ones where he wanted it to go to a team mate to either fumble it over the line or was going to maybe going to get tackled over the line. So imo he didn’t want it to stay in, issue was he was the one to do it and it just looked casual.
Probably stiff. But they refused to pay htb on Meek and that diabolical call on Starcevic.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Motty had a few un-Motty-like whoopsies tonight but kept on Mottying. Love that.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Frustrating game for a 'neutral' going for the Lions in terms of scoring, I imagine doubly so for actual Lions supporters, but other than that you dominated. I think you've rediscovered that late 2024 form, looking ominous, and with so many outs.

Hope you smash the Cats!

 

[3KZ is Football]

First up, the umpiring tonight was DISGRACEFUL! They gave so much latitude to Hawks players who were tackled and incorrectly disposed of the ball. Then Jasper Fletcher gets pinged for holding the ball when he is tackled a nano-second after taking possession. Umpires appeared to be doing their level best to gift the game to Hawthorn.

The behinds this year have added decades to our physical ages.

Fortunately didn't cost us a win tonight but they are so frustrating.

We lose if he didn't play tonight. Was very good

Channel 7, Mitch Cleary comes on, he says we need to talk about a controversial decision that everyone will be talking about. Karl Amon

deliberate handball. You VIC centric clown. The most controversial decision i have viewed in the last 10 years was the Mitch Lewis free for front on contact that was paid and he got a goal. No mention. You dead set clown Mitch Cleary.

Its been an issue for years, but thankfully it clicked last years finals series, and hope it will this year. Hoping either Adelaide or Brisbane take it, or basically any interstate side over Geelong, Collingwood or Hawthorn, even Freo.
