Preemptive congrats on your huge Pointsbet haul for next week (and the week after).

Are you saying I am wrong?

Carlton, then Brisbane, then.....GWS......quite the journey to win the flag.

All super quick on the turnover.. exactly where we’re the most exposed and vulnerable.

Were gonna need a minor miracle to get past Carlton and Brisbane.

Tell our guys to watch Brisbane on tonight’s replay and copy their forward players!

Port looks vulnerable at home against the Giants. So many injuries.

No PF this year will be a major disappointment, as if they needed something more to be unhappy with Henkley.

I don't know, unlike you I can't predict the future.

Have you ever received any praise or feedback from the players about the banners?

I’ve personally received thanks for our work on the banners from BBB, Melksy and Ricky Lever, as well as from Richo, Perty and of course Kate. We don’t seek/expect thanks but it’s really nice when it happens. ❤️💙

I love Ben Brown. He seems like an angel

That’s fantastic from those three legend players to show their appreciation.

Who was that player you were talking about that does the complete opposite?

Brisbane do this amazing thing where they allow their fellow forward to mark it without crashing into and spoiling them! We should try it 🤔

Anyone got the knackers to book a flight to Brisbane for prelim final weekend before the airlines go all Alan Joyce on us in the coming days.

Watching the Lions actually makes me feel better about our situation. I thought our finals efforts last year were pathetic but thought we were only at best the 2nd best team in it...didn't think we could beat Geelong anyway.

Doubt we'd have much chance against Bris this year...our intensity lapses will see 6+ goals piled on us by these guys. It's easier to move on from a disappointing end when there's a clearly superior outfit in the mix.

Considering it. My mum knows a fair few I'm sure from back in my 5-7 year old years when we lived up there. Free accommodation with a stranger who remembers me from 25 years ago but I don't remember them AND a humiliating defeat in a prelim interstate? Hello 2018 my old friend.

Except Port won’t win. It is going to take a major upset to not be a Collingwood Brisbane grand final. I cannot see either of GWS or Port beating Collingwood in the prelim, nor can I see Brisbane losing to Carlton.

Geez, I’m not so sure about this. 
 

GWS look like they’re the most in form team and the most ‘ready for finals at the G’ type team.
 

I reckon they’ll beat Port next week and have a very similar game plan to the Pies. Will be tough for them to beat the pies but if they make the granny and they’re playing the Lions, I think they’ll beat them. 
 

I watched them in a lot of games during the season and deadset, Kingsley has primed them to be a finals team. They finished way lower on the ladder than they should have by losing games early in the season to the Bombers, Tigers and EAGLES. 
 

Doesn’t matter where they play, they believe they can win.

Well this just sucks! Well done everyone involved! Looking at you coaching staff.😡

There’s also some 2 star Brisbane airport motels if you’re desperate.

As long the cancellation/deferral fees aren’t brutal, I’m seriously considering booking a flight up ASAP, with the knowledge that we’re a realistic chance of losing next week.

That’s because he is. 💕

Ben does so many good things off-field without making it known. He’s kind and caring, totally selfless and he’s the nicest person you could ever hope to meet. He listens and is genuinely interested in whatever’s being discussed and he remembers stuff you’ve told him. I can’t sing his praises enough. He’s a very special person.

I doubt we'll beat the Blues with Goodwins bomb it in territory gameplan,the Pies had 18 players inside our 50 waiting for the bombs all night and the Blues will do the same,We don't switch on until we are 4 goals down like against the Tigers and Swans,the Blues jumped the Swans in the first 10 minutes like the Pies did to us and the Blues will be on fire in the first quarter and it'll be all over.

 

I'd rather play Port in Adelaide if we get that far

Have faith Jack.  I think we'll bounce back convincingly.

They'll do it for Gus mate.

Just got home and seen the score, considering we know Port is overrated we’re Lions brilliant or just ok?

I still think we can win it and if we don’t this year has been a massive failure.

Lions kicked straight all game. Port shot themselves in the foot early. Lost players to injuries. Game. Done.

Pies are getting the Friday night prelim right?

The number 1 seed always gets the Friday night prelim.
