Like I did say after our heartbreaking loss to the Lions, that I gave them a chance against Melb.
Again is it my dislike of all things this modern Cats side is, that I give them a chance against the Cats.
The pressure will be on the Cats.
You can picture how Chris Scott will be. Tense. Hopefully that body language will rub off on his players.
The Lions got the MCG ‘monkey off their back which kept on telling their record at the G.”
I think the Lions can cause a boil over.
They get Mac back which will help in the ruck.
I would bring in another midfielder-Lyon.
Daniher will obviously play because Fagan likes to three talls. I would seriously consider not playing him against the Cats.
Two talls & 4 smalls.

Once he gave the free away it didn't matter, he may as well have kicked the ball into the stands, but his reaction to a free against did make me double check he wasn't a Geelong player.
Great clubs.After last year's dominance by Melbourne I thought they were in for a dynasty but only great teams have dynasties
Spilt milk and all that, but last night certainly showed we would have had a good shot at winning.
To me Lever brought some of that arrogance, lip, mouthing off to his players when did wrong from his days , GF Adelaide vs Richmond.
The arguing and fighting between the Adelaide players at HT could be heard by Grigg. It got to their heads as they believed just turn up and the Tigers will wilt.
Same as what Melb dished up. Their arrogance, the mid season fight that May was involved in, May & Lever are like a cancer.
I see them struggling next year.
swans v dees was ferocious
dees battered, cant run out when not.... swans week off huge reward.
lions way better no daniher, robertson & matheson ....faster more skilled
Yeh, posters saying we were not good enough don't want to accept this season is going to be a real missed opportunity. And it wasn't simply the fault of the players/coaches.
Umpiring cost us the game against the Lions, both in game and the ARC disgrace.
The Cats game during the year was lost through umpiring. The Swans game. Crucial calls at critical times.
Our form was good enough but taking on both an opposition and a biased organisation was too much.
I'm still pissed about the Bris result.
On the flip side, the Lions have really done a great hob to get to where they are. They didn't umpire our match, they played better than I thought they could. And last night was pretty heroic really. I have to give praise to Zorko, he has really accepted his lot. Against us and the Dees he simply played footy and left the goading and sledging out. He was superb last night. And Fagan has been humble and thoughtful. Likeable. The whole club has swallowed a huge dose of humility and are the better for it. Obviously it helps when you win but their actions on the field showed character - Charlie Cameron another who has been critical.
Let's hope they can conjure up one more win.

I thought lever just reacted like a human - like Bakes did in brisbane.
These blokes have invested their life in the game,
then get wronged on the biggest stage,
They react.
Lever was clearly scrambling to keep the ball IN.
What will the umps do lions v cats?

It was a clear free though. He had the ball in both hands off the ground. He got tackled. He placed the ball on the ground. It was a simple free to pay. He wanted to check the replay before giving the ball back so he could then point to the screen and say look at that to the ump. It was self-indulgence at its worst. They were unlikely to win the game from that point even if the ball was kicked OOTF though. But he had no reason to feel aggrieved.
He was not wronged.
It was a year of missed opportunity but we weren't winning the flag without Dion.
Not quite sure. We outplayed the Cats without him. Who knows what dusty could have produced? Might have got fred up by a "poor" finals performance.
We'll never know.

You have the footy - you dispose of it with a kick or a handball.
You don’t just put it in the ground.
Free kick absolutely correct decision

Surely the preliminary won't be at Pussy Park next week??? A half completed cat litter heap. MCG had to be!
Not wronged - just messed up big time twice - once with incorrect disposal and then for being an *smile* idiot
Two correct decisions by the umpire.
Was never any plan to have finals at Crapdinia park this year with the ground under redevelopment.
Their pace will trouble the cats - they came out timid against the dees so I think they will need a more aggressive mindset against the cats and if they can play 4 qtrs of intense footy they could be in the grannie.
Can‘t see a place for an out of form and lazy Daniher in the side.
Jazzy, you can torture yourself with what ifs and we'll never knows if you wanna get all Rene Descartes. I've been as serene as a Hindu bovine ever since leaving the Gabba because even though we can never know, I know. Ya know?
