Also are the fans outnumbering us? For a moment I thought the game was at Subiaco.

That won’t count for anything but I’m with ya.

Get ready for a week of media full attack on the Dees. ‘We haven’t beaten anyone’, ‘Mayday - No May No Dees’, ‘ Are they really that good’ etc etc.

When a team is on , they. are just on. We had this coming for a long while.

That was not a high tackle.

Will be hard to hold a mark in the 2nd half. Ground is dewy. Freo will come out hard in 3Q so the boys need to be ready for it. Game is nowhere near over. Wish Tommo was the sub but he’ll get his chance next week.

Pretty ordinary start and we are lucky to be in front. Loosing May will mean that we can have a look at our future FB in Petty taking the #1 Forward. Need more pressure in the midfield.

Giants out of the blocks against Lions. Chance to make it three games clear of the Lions today.

Yeah but how long have we been saying it? He has been given an abundance of chances to make the spot his. What makes you think this time will be different?

Dermie is still a denier and dinosaur and it’s about time he is removed from the media circuit. Reckons the Hawks would smack em based on talent alone. Pfft, Hawks would run out of puff by half time. Andy Maher just says some really stupid things and if he cannot see why we are so good and successful he needs to find another profession. Do people forget our finals series so easily? it was a near all time record performance over 3 games.

They should be higher up than 7. Don’t know who put the doggies at 4.

That’s actually an option. He has height and can mark so we can also hold our forwards deep. There is also TMac on the wing too. As for Lingers, don’t expect to see him back until queens or after bye thanks to Johnny no Brains advertising his ailment for all to see.

Just off the plane in Singapore and the first thing my son says to on me on the phone is the Lions lost Dad !!! Pumped to be 2 games clear.

BBB, Sparrow, Frittata all ver accurate with good technique. Can’t kick them all though.

We will lose at least 1 game in that run. Heck even if it’s just to get the loss we have to have out of the way. The perfect season just puts to much unnecessary mental pressure on the group.

I think the entire game plan was to negate. It was a bit of a shame they didn’t take it on more. Those dinky kicks from HB are very much Geelong like and we know that brand doesn’t stand up. I think Noble is in a bit of trouble tbh - Every rebuilding team should be modelling their game on ours (defensive) in the first few years (ala Roos) and build offense from there. They play a different style each week - today was one-on-one and uncontested. Two things you don’t see in finals footy.

I tend to agree. The head is sacrosanct but the ribs are fair game. He got the free which is just about what it is worth. If it was concussion, then it’s 2 weeks.

We’re either any good in junior footy? Who else do we have up and coming?

I think he’s role changed after the Lingers injury to the defensive wing, hence the numbers. Viney in for Dunstan If no other injuries.

Would happily swap him for any one of TMac or Weeds. Naughton will be a star he just doesn’t have a partner in crime atm.

His technique is poor. He needs a bit more momentum in his run up to correct his bad habits. even his snap was shocking, which should at least get a score. Something to work on with choco .

I’m hearing ribs for Lingers. Probably won’t know more until he has some scans. If it’s just bruising he could still miss a week or two.

The instructions from Noble are to hurt us and make it physical. Some old school coaching when they know they can’t beat you with talent alone. Im surprised that Norf have lasted this far into the game.

And one thing you can count on in finals is defensive pressure and a hugely contested performance from the Dees across all 4 quarters.
