Dees from 10-0 to straight sets out. Now that's a season choke!

Yep, sitting up here in Bright, beautiful wood fire ablaze and the Dees capitulate... how sweet it is. 

As per normal when things start to fall apart for them and the pressure gets applied the finger pointing starts and they choke.

May, Lever, Gawn leading the way

Glad it was Melbourne too that Brisbane broke their losing streak at the 'G against and not us.

The Dees lost for the same reasons their second half of the year was ordinary. Their midfield-forward ball movement and entries are poor. That's why their scoring has dried up. They peaked too early in the season like we did in 2018 and didn't enter the finals with strong form. Now they have paid for it.

Still No.1

Brisbane midfielder Jarrod Berry is free to play Friday night’s Preliminary Final against Geelong following Tuesday night’s AFL Tribunal hearing.

Berry was handed a one-game suspension for making “unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the eye region” of Melbourne’s Clayton Oliver during last week’s semi-final.

The MRO graded the incident as intentional conduct, low impact and high contact, with Berry arguing that conduct was careless.

After a marathon tribunal case which began after 5pm AEST and lasted until past 8pm, the important Lions midfielder ultimately had his charge dropped by the tribunal.

The Lions called on evidence from AFL great Luke Hodge and a neurosurgeon as part of their defence of Berry.

Sadly, I don't see it happening (would if we were playing them tonight like we should've been ), but I would laugh my head off if the Cats choke again in a Prelim.

No such thing as HTB against Geelong whereas they are gifted two goals.

Game would be over already if Hawkins didn't have a massive case of the yips.

Geelong will probably win anyway but Fagan making a rookie coach mistake not equally numbers forward of the ball and allowing Stewart or Kolodjashnij to be the free spare in the Geelong defence.

What a shocking game.

Lions are hopeless. Lucky to beat us and lucky to cop a beaten up dees outfit.

Let’s hope Swans deliver the goods tomorrow.

[mightytiges]

Yep, we would've given a contest at least tonight. Only got ourselves to blame.

If the Swans don't get up tomorrow, I don't know if I could watch a Cats-Pies GF  .

Please Swannies save us from that fate .

Yep.

That said I would go if it was swans v cats, and no chance if it’s the other mob who wins tomorrow.

May do a lids and go for a walk if pies make it.

C'mon Swannies  .

[mightytiges]

It looked from the vision they showed it was a point to Sydney but Ch 7 claiming they were told it was another ARC decision based on "other vision we didn't see" .

26-zip Swans  .

[mightytiges]

Not saying I think Maynard should be rubbed out but if the MRO was consistent (yeah right MT) then if Marlion copped a week for a shepherd in play then Maynard shouldn't play next week for that bump off the ball even if the Pies get through.

Anyway, Swans up 39-18 at QT.

[mightytiges]

This is a shootout like our Elim Final. Winning the contests and clearances at stoppages determines the game.

The two 50s were harsh (likes the ones we usually cop ) but Pies fans can't complain about frees. They've had more (14-10) despite being 5 goals down. The Swans should be further in front but have missed/wasted a number of chances.
