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

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.

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........

Lachie Neale- 1 possession in the second quarter so far.

You stop him, you stop Brisbane.

 

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

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

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
