Tight half worth watching. Brisbane threatened to get their game going.

Geelong look stuffed coming off at halftime. Might need more than the 14 extra frees

If you glanced at the free kick count, you'd think Geelong would be well ahead.

But it's a close game which is what we want

Anyone else notice that when the Lions are attacking, if a Cats defender gets the bell under pressure, they make no attempt to get rid of it. just take the tackle and get the ball up

Holding the ball in years gone by but unless you fend off or try to break the tackle it’s never HTB. I wish we’d be smart and manipulate the rules like this

Cameron looks stuffed. Prime candidate for substitution.

It looked like Loemann just got bandaged on the bench, no formal HIA.

Strange that both didn’t get assessed, regular game they’d be forced off the ground.

Every chance they get more

How is concussion testing still not entirely the domain of a multibillion dollar organisation, and instead left to the clubs, who have a hugely vested interest in the player not having a concussion?

The AFL aren’t serious about it.

It’s actually a cracking game except the umpiring.

How can Geelong get away with not following concussion protocols?

And not for the first time with this player. AFL are a disgusting compromised dis organisation.

Just saw our new coach in the Geelong rooms… bring on season 2026!!!

Umps usually even up the free kick count in the second half. Bad look otherwise

They've been doing that for years, has always annoyed the carp out if me

Tayla Harris would be filthy right now… she hates that ad. with a passion and they’ve shown it so many times already. 😂

Two All Blacks banged heads in the Bledisloe Cup game. One was straight off for a HIA. Having a concussed player on the field isn't going to help you win the game.

i'm sure she liked the pay check

Gee imagine if Brisbane are in front or its still close in the final quarter & you bring on a Lachie neale.

Hopefully our new coach can bring some of that Free Kick Geelong energy with him.

We don’t have an entrant in the halftime sprint ☹️

She loved the schmick new phone she got at the time. She didn’t know they’d be still playing the ad. many years later.

The young Brisbane mids may be to quick for danger & some of the older cats players.

Cam rayner has to get into the game this half.

It’s not as bad as the ad with Isaac Heaney jumping all over Trac.

Wow the umpires are [censored] Brisbane.

If the free kick count wasn’t so out of whack I suspect the lions would be 2-3 goals up and looking very good
