I’ve never had this experience before. I’m watching the footy knowing we can’t win it, but that our best would crush both these sides.

What a weird feeling.

Agree, it’s [censored]ing embarrassing we were beaten by Brisbane last week

You stop him, you stop Brisbane.

And the Swans the week before?

Every losing team says that

Why does every team seem to bring their best pressure rating of the year when playing us (Bris last week, Syd, Bulldogs, Pies).  Hard to watch when our best is so much better. 

Because we got our fitness terribly wrong and teams knew they could outwork us as we were exhausted.

Can’t argue with that.

Why do Geelong have sequinned shorts on? Are they going to do a cabaret number at half time?

Not until they have won the flag

Geelong are cherry ripe.

They're just toying with the Lions. Watch for the dam wall  break.

Funny how Geelong look fit and fresh. Wonder if that's got to do with management of players through the season..

Hmm funny that........

Amazing and yet he might win the Brownlow but.... CLARRY has never had a single digit possesion in any game ...much less a final

Lochy Dud Neal

[Macca 17,127]

Lions ball movement is treacle slow ... setting up the Cats defence to a nicety

Amateur performance yet they beat us

Our players will be kicking themselves watching this

What's worse is that Geelong aren't playing that well.  They've got no opposition.  14 shots to 4

Lions were $8 at half time last week.

Geelong into the grand final well I guess I can make other plans next Saturday now, won’t be watching that rubbish 

[spirit of norm smith 16,679]

Yes I know a few Cats fans and they’re very happy it’s Cats v Lions and not Cats v Dees. We’d given them a real match. Ffs. I’m still angry about last week. In fact angry and disappointed and hurt with our two finals losses.

My theory is our predictable, defensive, static game plan invites it. Teams absorb the early assault from us and then as we slow down and play even more predictably and defensively they can apply maximum pressure around the ball carrier and run off us.

That, plus a cruisy run into finals and a week off to freshen up.

A blueprint that (sadly) seemed to work well every time.

Watching this game just makes me realise how last week everything just went perfectly for the Lions. They had an unbelievably lucky night and barely made a mistake.
