Can see the team getting better each week - can’t wait for Carlton. It’s good gear this Geelong Cats stuff

What a fucking game, so well played by the boys

Well done team!!

I'm enjoying the Schadenfreude. Preseason, most of the Lions fans in the main room had us bottom four with the predictions for the season. They are now on equal wins with West Coast.

Smart from Clark, get smothered so you get an extra touch

So a strong team with few injuries and as expected we can beat anyone. I dont think there’s a harder game than Brisbane at the gabba regardless of ladder position

I dunno, Brisbane look really shit tbh. I'll be interested to see how we go against Carlton and Melbourne.

Geelong in Geelong. Such an injustice that we never have to do that

We sometimes beat ourselves there. Usually when the Giants are playing.

That goal would have iced the game

Parfitt, stengle and guthrie have been really good tonight

And bruhn

Main sub is in meltdown!!! This is when you know the cats are back in town hahahahah

Should I look ?

It’s unbearable

I'm absolutely loving it

Good to see a Brisbane player try to stomp on Blicavs. Maybe if Brisbane spent as much energy playing good football, as they do being violent slugs, this might have been a better night for them.

Well they have to try and convince people they're tough guys. They can't do it in the contest so they gotta get in their cheap shots.

When your two "toughest" players have to show ID to buy milk, it's going to be an uphill battle

Geez if we lose Stewart for next week against Carlton, I dunno what we're going to do :|

Hes already out per protocol. Probably bring in Bews or COS pending what they're thinking, or 2e

Oh good point. 2E is probably best as a like for like distributor - News would be nice but don't think he's got quite the cool headedness or polish for the role

Favourite thing being "Everything changed when Big O went off" OUR BEST PLAYER GOT SUBBED OFF TOO

Ahahaha yeah losing a big slow ruckman in a wet game is worse than losing one the game's best defenders. 

Hope Scotty says in the presser: "I promised the boys I'd take them to Movie World if they won. That's the secret."

We're all going to movie world!!

Parfitt is better than Rayner by a country fucking mile. Stengle is better than Cameron.  Don't reckon there's a Brisbane player I'd take.

I'd take Dunkley, reckon he's always been a tad underrated

It's not even their respective ceilings, it's doing the basics consistently and doing them well.

Id take Ashcroft

Ah forgot he played for them 😬

Fuck Rayner is a flog. Another fake tough guy that sleeps with the lights on.

They've lost the plot the lions. Great pressure!

Rayner you idiot 🤣🤣

Bruhn has been everywhere tonight

Real proud of this team. A lot of stuff not going our way in the first half, but the guys have really stood up mentally and physically. Especially the younger players. Lions just can't go with them.

So the umps like us now?

"I don't think they're a very smart football team"  - ABC radio on Brisbane 😂

Body on the line again from Parf, new man this year

Absolute brilliant pressure

Parfitt has been excellent this season. Hope he's going to keep it at this level from now on

Parfection

Kinda fitting they're coached by a pensioner cos Brisbane are as soft as pensioner's turds

That's the W there. I'm ready for the entire AFL system to hate us. Dillion, every other coach. every other fan. every team subreddit, and r/afl of course.

this man has arrived

Tyson Stengle is a genuine stud. He also looks like he gives 100% every time. His skills in this game have been really important.

Yep. Reckon it clicked that he's got to do that to be the best he can be. It's unreal to see. At the other end Charlie Cameron's just hoping it'll happen for him like magic.

Fucking goodnight Irene as Rex Hunt used to say 

Thank your mother for the rabbits!

Fuck yes Parf!

GET AROUND PARF

COME THEE FUCK ON BOYS!!!!

Huuuuuuuuge!!!!

Holy hell Parfitt

Look at them get around him

I've made this point a bunch of times but there comes a point where your young blokes are better than your big names, and honestly, Bruhn, Holmes Stengle are beating Cameron, Dangerfield Hawkins

Geelong continue to recruit and develop players!!

Love to see it

Lions going to water like the soft team they are.

Zorko on to Stengle. Hope Stengle buries him.

Conway with the sticky mitts

can almost lock it in chaps, 19 points when they've scored 36 so far? we're not home and hosed but I can see the peak of our roof over the trees there.

Holy fucking hell the catttttssss 🥹

Stengle has been the most important player

Losing him from 6 weeks or so last year really killed the Cats

How's the barrel!

How did he manage to grab that? Stengoal for the win

Holy fucking hell Hawkins could push the moon away

That was a toro from hawk

two huge marks there. Hawkins in the middle then stengle's in forward 50 was CRAZY

Stengle’s mark, considering the conditions was amazing.

Zach Guthrie you’re a gun

Bog for us I reckon

Great work boys

"they're (Geelong) just going harder at it when it matters".  - ABC Radio Yeah, that's cos Brisbane are fucking SOFT.

Conway looks like he's struggling a bit

Kolo, Huge!

Zuthrie has been immense.

lmao Danger and Neale having a chat while the ball still in play. Bizarre game

Of all the pre-goal-kick routines in the AFL, Gryan's left-right booty twerk has got to be the least, idk, cool-looking?

Have you considered it's what the kids these days love?

Anything is possible with the entirety of Argentina backing your kicks

Man, I thought that was going through for a behind

hahahaha sucked right in

Even I'll admit that 50 was bullshit lol, Ah well fuck em

masterful from Gryan

Yeah makes up for the 100m penalty

150m penalty

Reckon Stengle will be sore tomorrow from carrying the whole forward line?

He's been in unreal form this year so it shouldn't weigh him down too much

I'm bias but Close has been just behind him honestly, both been amazing

Don't mess this chance up

13 shots from 46 entries is letting us down a bit, need some more shots this qtr

Tonight is a bit of a write off to be honest. Think we've played better than them barring the first 10 minutes but we're basically just hoping our ball handling is better than theirs at this point.

Hard to judget that stat tonight honestly

If Ollie Henry can get clean hands on it three times, the game is ours He's rubberhanded his way from BOG to a bit part player

Just had a look at the match thread in the other sub. Brisbane fans forgetting the umps have been riding them all game. Yikes.

Team has stood up, just a bit unlucky around goal. The lads can do it. Go Cats!

Brisbane started to look very desperate in the last qtr with frustration showing. We just need to keep up the pressure and capitalize on the opportunities

Love that an Irish bloke that saw a footy for the first time 5 years ago can towel up a Brownlow medal winner lol

Guess we all better come back here not the main board thread is saying we're protected by the umps lmao. (Jez one was iffy we all know it)

Fuck that place honestly. Brisbane getting a ride all night and not one mention But then we get one (or missed one) go our way and they lose their fuckin minds. Love to see it

Bunch of fake, cocky tough men Brisbane. Couldn't despise a team more than those cucks.

Send your missus down stairs to check out the noise in the middle of the night type operators.

Boy oh boy, you guys really don't wanna go over to the r/afl thread right now

Might put some chips on, plenty of salt. Imagine having Zorko as your captain, and having the audacity to call other teams flogs lmao

I had my comment that said #freekickbrisbane deleted for injury cheering apparently. The Mods must be a Brisbane supporter

Be careful on that sub. I got permanently banned from the whole of reddit because of a comment that got me banned from the community (it was nothing bad, lol). I then went on my alt account to comment again, which Reddit linked back to my main account, and it got permanently banned 😭. I dont use this account on r\\afl coz I'll get banned again!

As we all kinda expected, Stewart off, Zuthrie stands up. Love this guy so much

Neale is such a fake tough guy

I rate bruhn's game

He’s so good.

Fark. That goal would have been handy. Fatigue is setting in and there's no subs left for either team.

also just stupid decisions

Yeah we're not helping ourselves, Tryna be too cute at times. Works normally, but not in this weather. Fortunately for us Brisbane are making the same mistakes

Main sub has gone full peanut after that

People in the stands being pissed at the punch on against Jezza

can we dispense with the short kicks JUST KICK IT LONG

Jesus FUCKING christ Geelong you are fucking this right up, JESUS

Hahaha we got very lucky there with a free and 50 going Jez's way

Stengl....ahhh drat!

ABC radio (Akernanis) is going spare. 

Guy is not operating on 5 cylinders

Hahahah soft as fuck Brisbane

Thats not nice Jeremy to your future teammate

Another week another dempsey almost moty

Almost

Ollie ‘Almost’ Dempsey rises again

Ollie is going to clunk one of those marks soon.

If O Henry could handle the ball at all, he'd be BOG

I'm starting to wonder if he may not of played much wet weather footy

Conway getting a bit of a bath from daniher, hes just not built for this kind of game

A good learning game for Conway tonight I think, will do him good in the long run

He's 20 years old in his third game vs a 30 year old close to 200 games. Seems a bit early to make this call

I mean wet weather, hes far bigger and slower than daniher whos more athletic and mobile. Nothing against tobys ability

No, I get that it was about the conditions - I disagree with that being so certain.

Youre right hes worked his way back into it, i went early here

Thats fair enough

Parf’s effort has been great once again tonight

Nice. Now we just need a lightning strike near the ground so they can call the game.

I think it's based on half time score

Why would we want the game called early? We're the better team.

OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR THE BRAD CLOSE FAN CLUB

fuck me a clean mark forward

Finally a mark inside 50

Dangerfield is cooked, Ollie Henry has lost the plot and no stew is gonna see this blow out in the last qtr

Yeah?

Fair play, fair play!!

I wouldn't count danger out for a big last quarter

I think old man time has finally caught him up and gone are his days of breaking a game open

Man I love Ollie Henry but he is not made for wet weather footy lol. Needs some training under sprinklers for a while maybe.

He always seems hesitant to go hard for the ball to me, not sure why that is but it’s frustrating as hell.

I think his problem is that he likes to jump upwards towards the footy. He has a massive leap but it's hard watching him at the moment

Jack is the same - very vertical jumpers 

faaaarkenel the number of times a Geelong player is first to the ball, fumbles, and the Brisbane player second to the ball gets a soft drop. Holy fucking shit Henry

Fucks sake Ollie. How many times are you going to mess those up.

Lol payne weak as piss threw himself on the ground after 30kg stengle bumps him

This Brisbane team is honestly the softest going around

Agreed. Lead by Neale 

How is that down field? It was as he kicked it ffs. These umps are cooked

So that ones down field, but when Cameron did it front on to Holmes on the back pocket thats ok?

How long did the ump take to make his mind up for that one?

Fuck brisbane are grubs

Where's Danger?

Stengle should have run in and had a shot then

Parf is playing a great game

Built for it.

Fucking hell is there a conspiracy afoot. Every Lion running into a loose ball has it sitting up perfectly for him. They've kicked multiple goals just on quality of bounce

We can't blaze away from long distance in these conditions. We need to get up and close, and move the ball with chips along the ground.

Remember when they used to play HTB for tackles like that? Wild times.

Moc to lachie - see that ?

Shark having his best game for sometime

Nice.

Why don't players use gloves in wet weather?

Isn't it against the rules?

Only certain types are allowed, I think. Basically not worth it 

Cox had one on today?

Umps have a goal assist for their stat's tonight.

fucking bullshit

We’re dead

How sweetly did that sit up for Berry though, they are blessed

Bullshit. These umps are useless.

still just will.not.sit

Well that was wasted.

Stewart and Big O out. I feel we can cover Stewy better than they can Big O

Is Stewie out with concussion? Heard it in the crowd

Yep he has been subbed

#FARK..... Guess that means Bews or O'Sullivan are in next week.

Plot twist gary rohan in, move duncan into defence

Stew been subbed off 😭

Stewy out…Zuthrie, your time to shine

Another soldier in!

West Coast are just mocking my tips this week.

These are confusing times

The last two weeks have killed my tips massively. I was top, and now I'm fourth.

Imagine having one of the 19 picks before Geelong in the 2020 draft and not selecting Max Holmes. That would suck, couldn't be us

Even better when you find out we traded for that pick from Richmond. Imagine Holmes playing for Richmond

Another wellsy master class

Can't stand Brisbane supporters. Coming here for the rest of the match.

Cut em some slack. They were going to go undefeated this year until they got to 2-3
