Swans playing very well and should be further ahead. I can't see the pies pulling this game out of the fire but I've said that before this year and been wrong

feisty affair

SCG such a crappy ground

Nothing wrong with our ball movement when we played the Lions in Rd 23. Perhaps the pies are better kicks but i don't think we have a fatal flaw in this regard. Coached properly i reckon we can tweak our game plan to be more adventurous and daring

Selwood, Hawkins and Dangerflog may skew the age profile but irrespective they have been 3 outstanding players for Geelong. Their replacements will not be of the same calibre. Smith as well has had a brilliant career. These players will leave a big hole when they're gone

People probably though the same of the pies players after they finished bottom 4 last year.

Past trades are not relevant. We should make a decision based on the merits of this potential trade. I think Grundy can play an important role for us but the price needs to be right. I think a first rounder is overs and don’t want too much salary tied up in the deal. Our recruiting has been good recently so I trust them to make the right call

Lions pathetic. This is worse than our 2018 capitulation v West Coast

Hope the cats win by 100 points. The Lions deserve it

Lions played their grand final last week. This game is a non-event. Think i'll go to bed

Cats playing to a pretty high standard. Serious intensity. It would have taken our best tonight

We [censored] up big time last week

Hawkins. FIGJAM

someone should tell rowan he's playing in a final

Cats are clearly the better team but the Lions are staying in touch. i so hope the cats stuff this up

Don't forget about the womens team. they're in with a big shout this year

Uncle Colin didn't acknowledge the Queen's passing last Friday after his welcome to country. No one else seemed to notice (or didn't comment anyways) but i did. And why would he. The Crown means oppression and colonisation. Dispossession. I'm an Irish republican so I get it. We had 800 years of it. At the same time i acknowledge the significance of the Crown as an institution and what it means to British people and monarchists. I don't want to disrespect that. Tradition is important in every culture. There are 2 points of view. both equally valid. I think we should respect each others position. And leave it at that.

Yeah. I'm feeling conflicted as well

Stengle is recruit of the year (as much as I hate to say it)

The Lions fans definitely sound louder through the TV

how blatant was that throw by Atkins. The Aussies would have been proud of that last night v the all blacks

No idea why (possibly the wine) but I have a feeling the lions might spring a surprise tonight. Wouldn’t it be be hilarious if the cats [censored] it up.

I’m half way through a bottle of wine. Mental faculties quite impaired.

This is a wind up. Surely

it wouldn't be good preparation P.S. thanks, post edited
