Far out
We got there in the end but that was a messy grapple in the last quarter
Well done Bombers

UP THE MIGHTY BOMBERS.
Happy to sacrifice 4 points to the lions.
The first time i ever saw or heard of Buddy Franklin was watching a live game at the Gabba, Lions V Hawks...back in 2009ish? First time iBuddy ever registered on my radar was from way across on the other wing, and i saw...presence. Ive seen alot of ive footy but presence in a stadium is a rare thing to see.
Tonight, on the same ground, through the TV i saw indisputably the same thing from Nate Caddy. He arrived tonight in full HD.
Didn't get the W but won the day in my opinion. A team of groms just frothing to take up the fight.

Lions weren’t onto that bleached blonde pretender. Better be next time. And every other team.

hehehe. I'd be salty too @seeds ;-)
Even BT is in the Brisbane rooms and the main topic is Nate Caddy.

Well done also. @seeds.
No one ever deserves a win, because if you did, you'd win.
Class won in the end.

One consolation is we aren’t at our best for the whole games we play. Case in point the first quarter. If we can string a few quarters together into the second half of the year we are contenders.

Truth be told Caddy is the real deal. Big up front but great off the ground and so fast on his feet.

Don't worry @seeds. You'll be well in contention years end for a flag. No need to be premiership favourites right now. Just tick off the wins.
On that....i love the Lions, i support them every other week,...but it's funny how much spite i have for them as soon as the Dons face them. Players i adore....are the enemy!! The wierdness of the human psyche!!

Dooday, Stacevich and Kadine Cole to come back into the Lions team @seeds. That's frightening!!
Dooday is incredible and hasnt' even hit the park for the Lions in 2 years yet due to injury.
Watch that space. ;-)

I put 10 bucks in the 2023 GF for Cole to take the Normy (my only bet) and he nearly bloody won it.

It turned into an intriguing match after looking like a blow out in the first. Caddy was good, but so was Lohman. The Bombers rebound from defensive 50 was astounding, the Lions couldn't lay a hand on them. Lots of dropped marks that would normally be givens. Fun to watch as a neutral.

was there live as I usually am, and he was very impressive. Big body with elite agility and speed. Burned Lions defense over and over.
The Brisbane crowd are a funny bunch, not a lot of atmosphere with just an expectation they will see the Lions prevail, the bombers fans were twice as loud. Crowd seems to only amp up in top of table clashes these days. Thursday night also a factor.
