We finished 4th last year with 16 wins & 4 losses. Regardless if the Pies win, it’s still difficult for either of these teams to make top 4. Swans finished 8th with 12.5 wins and 10 losses.

Going early with that statement...

They can't move the ball without Coleman. 

The AFL can't allow teams to have breaks within 2 weeks of the season starting, its disjointing for the competition.

You either play everyone opening round or scrap it all together.

Completely agree about Coleman. He kept them in the granny last year and Brissy’s whole set up revolves around him. He’s a superstar that doesn’t get the credit he deserves. 
 

And yeah the ‘opening’ round has played out poorly. Further compromises the season.

Blowtorch on Fagan???

TV just focussed on him - deer in the headlights

Umm so is Daniher. Not too sure what Hipwood brings as a KPF, but he plays smaller than Spargo.

Always seems to play his best games against us though

Absolutely. I just didn’t want to name both in case the angry ghost of Norm Smith reads my outrageous comments. He sees these posts & makes these blokes play well against us 😁

Brisbane architects of their own downfall tonight.

Pies 29 frees to 20 in Brisbane. 

It was almost even half way through 3rd

*joke joke. 

Well at least the umpire correction was against the Lions and not us. Clear as day the umps had a steer from HQ.

With the list that Lions have, Fagan looks to only have a plan A. Not sure he will get the ultimate success. 
Hipwood reminds me of Schache

Nup much worse

Neither team will finish top 4.

one of them will miss finals. 

Thanks Brisbane for ruining the best running joke of the season. Twitter/X was fun while the Pies were winless.

The pies looked linke they go the rub of the green with the frees, but at least they put some effort in.  Lions were slow, stationary and putrid.

Channel 7 asking Pendlebury in the post match interview about a ‘love tap’ on Neale is everything wrong with the AFL.

Stop creating the narrative. They did it last year and it’s fundamentally wrong.

It makes me hate the game.

Every cloud has a silver lining ☁️

Fagan senile.. like half of his players, inept!! has Hipwood had a touch??? My 3 year old grandson goes harder than him!

Picket, I find it helpful to understand your posts if I read them using the voice of Donald Trump. All of a sudden it explains a lot!

Parasites they are.

It’s like a finals game where neither team looks likely to get anywhere playing in the finals

BT just says whatever. 

Pies celebrating like they've won a final 

Pies are a chance for finals if lucky

Tough night to be a Lions fan.  Frustrating to watch the team play so bad, but oh my, the umpiring was next level atrocious.  Would ruin the long weekend.

We can finish the Bears season after gather round.

How is that Maynard tackle different from a sling tackle?

It was Maynard, so it was deemed a “football action” 😬

I find, when Selwood speaks, it has a laxative effect. 

Oh that's interesting. I seem to have problems at the other end.

It’s been a very strange night. BT calling posters as goals. Also saying this absolute trash game feels like a ‘finals game’? WTF?

 

Umpiring was AWFUL. 
 

The standard of the game was terrible by both teams. 
 

Brisbane just played worse than Collingwood. 
 

Joey Montagna saying Pendles punch was just a fine??

 

Interviewing and asking a player about an incident they should be suspended for straight after a game?

 

Referring to the incident as a ‘love tap?’

 

The reality of what we just witnessed vs the way it’s characterised by commentators is worlds apart. 
 

Painfully obvious tonight.
