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

And the Swans the week before?

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.

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........

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
