Game Day Semi Final, 2024 - GWS vs. Brisbane Lions

[FeastOrFamine]

Absolutely beautiful today in Sydney. Can't wait for this match tonight.

 

[Harris Specter]

Echo most of the sentiments. Just didn’t want Carlton to win last week, but with the amount of injuries we’ve had and our 2nd half fade-outs, I’m not confident for tonight. Just hope the boys give it their all and leave nothing on the table.

 

[SeaOfFire]

I'm quietly confident.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

I felt physically ill last week, pretty relaxed at the moment.

Have no expectations from this point on, has been a season where despite the run of wins it has felt like we have not hit fifth gear.

Perty
I reckon our problem is we do go from fourth to fifth and just cruise
Where as we should be knocking it back to third and get the revs up fully sick like.
Red line it baby
Yee Ha

 

[Bucking Beads]

Please win

Spot on. We use cruise control too much.

Very late notice, does anybody want/need a free ticket tonight, Section 415

 

[Section 5]

One thing no one could plan for is the wind forecast.
According to 7 news gale-force winds to 60km per hour.
No sure if that is good or bad with our goal kicking accuracy.
Still will be a different kind of game if those winds do arrive.
Looking at the BOM site it may not be as bad as 7 stated

Well I lit my stress fire…if we’re kicking poorly, I’ll just stare into the embers and try to find some Zen calm

The not so super sub

At least Payne is playing

 

[Nathan Barley]

Good interview with Lachie

Mentioned staying mentally focussed late in the game as fatigue kicks in

 

[Nathan Barley]

Lachie plays his 135th game for us today after 135 with Freo

It’s a bit blustery. Will be a factor

But we are not the coastal fringe here

I’ve looked at multiple forecasts and consensus is 20-30kmh

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Not really nervous, whatever will be will be.

Hope the boys make us proud

 

[The Zork]

Go boys.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Payne looks fine

 

[McIvor]

Joe to be on fire playing in his home state

 

[haystark]

What’s the crowd looking like? Hoping a lot of Lions fans travelled!

 

[Big Sauce 21]

I'll be worried if we're 35-0 up at qtr time

 

[Elixuh]

I’m watching the fox coverage and is it just me or is all they’re talking about how bad we are compared to the mighty giants.

 

[lionraven]

Oh shit we are in our Bears getup. League y'all ****ed up now. Dare to beat the bear. Yall wont.

 

[TheMan_Bun]

Nice to see a packed stadium.

I didn’t really listen. I was distracted by how wide David King’s face is every time he looked down the barrel…
