Agree, they looked gone for all money halfway through the third but that was a huge comeback. Let's see if they can maintain it. Level scores.

VFL Conspiracy for Qld Teams to wipe each other out...
Bloody southern cousins bring their game up here & force us schoolboys to play it.

[Factcheck] We Qldurrz keep hearing this Q Clash catch phrase...(Can we Google that?)
1974 AFL Schoolboy Champ Pennant apparently entitles tbb hand out complimentary Q Clash Cash Backs.
Not Joking...Best on Ground wins a 1980's AFL Gold Coast Schoolboy Medal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QClash

[Q Clash] is the Australian rules football derby between the two Queensland-based teams in the Australian Football League (AFL), the Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast Suns

Crash Up Derby > Q Clash Derby (Something like that!)

But wait...there's more to it than that...
Because Q Clash sounds Jocular...they had to come up with daft Qldurr Names...
#Pineapple Grapple #Banana Bash #Sunshine Stoush
Any of them sound way better than [NRL Touchy Feely Magic Round]...All say Aye!

Leave it up to us Police State Hodads to make sense of yer daft game...
Here's wotz goin' on behind the Banana Curtain.

3 once GC Teams shared the same Carrara Home Ground....basically Goldie can scream for any team.
Fans back up tbb's Qldurr back up theory below.
We know we're supposed hate each other but you Victorians only gave us the one team...well durr!
It's pretty messed up but goes somethin' like this...

Southport Sharks > Dolphins > Pirates > Stingrays > Carrara Marlins > Stingrays > Gold Coast Suns
vs
Fitzroy Lions > Carrara Koalas > Carrara Cubs > Bad News Bears > Brisbane Bears > Hollandia (NSL Brisbane Lions) Lions FC > Brisbane Lions (AFL)

Just know if Goldie get ahead > Brizzos go spazz & Ref evens up the game with Penalties.
Like them 10m Advance freebies & Sin Bins...all that shit hits Goldie like a curse!
So Goldie know to play dead then slowly bring it home so the Ref don't know...don't tell them that!

*Showtime

Goldie Roadie is One day early into Faceless Enemy Territory
Inside word is it's Gonna Boil Over with on field fireworks!

Suns : "We don't care who we play, where we play, we just wanna win."
"We know our best football is good enough to beat the Premiers this weekend!"

Suns Fan : "But, even if the Suns lose, in that case... Go the Lions!” (From above/below!)

Sunscreamers are encouraged to head to the Pineapple Hotel for a pre-match catch-up from 2pm before walking to the ground from 6pm. Sunscreamers will stickytape up a supersized banner through which their team will run on to the field on Saturday to befit the occasion. Gold Coasters remaining on the coast can enjoy all the action live on the big screen at the top of Cavill Avenue in Surfers Paradise.

vs

Lions : "We're this year's wounded Final's Underdogs and we'll bounce back & give it our all!"

Lions Fan : "But if the Suns win, I’ll be a Suns fan next week.” (From above 2x!)

In something of a longstanding tradition, hundreds of punters will cram into the Brisbane German Club, a 143-year-old institution that predates the Gabba. In a packed beer hall, punters will sing along to a Bavarian cover band performing the goal celebration songs of their beloved Lions – most notably Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver as they quaff steins of weissbier.
“This year, every game has been absolutely wall-to-wall."

Complimentary [ Q Clash Cash Back Voucher] You won't be needing that! tbb will tear it up...All good!

Bloody Zach Merrett could take a leaf out of David Swallows book , stay through the tough times and the rewards are so much sweeter when they come ! It will be a pretty hollow premiership if he jumps ship and if , thats a very big if too , hawthorn win . And Sam Mitchell / Hawthorn of all the smart arse blokes / clubs to go to . @Southernraw , the bombers are in a world of pain right now !

Southernraw and GuySmiley. Hi guys, I hope you’re toasty warm like a pig with its hooves tied on a horizontal branch above some coals.

What on earth is going on at The Hangar with your Bombers ?

Your heads have gone way up into the galaxy , players like Zach Merrett & The Meteors, Sammy Drapery store has closed up shop, Darcy has seen the light and gone off to the Parish, McGrath has a very successful chain of real estate offices in Victoria, Nate is carrying his own golf bag around the back 9 at Royal Melbourne,, Archie is driving around in a huge truck with a Perkins diesel under the hood, Big tall Peter has been seen hanging around the docks as a shipWright,, Nikolas has taken up rowing and sits at the back of the boat as the Cox, Nick is really ‘playing the life of Bryan’, Caldwell is just playing out old politics, Angus Clarke is a bit rubbery on field, Alwyn Davey pumps for long shots at goal but hardly kicks ‘em.
Goldstein is no Star of David, more of a long toddy, Archer Day-Wicks air freshener still can’t get the change rooms to smell like roses, Tom Edward’s scissor hands is digitally clumsy, Saad El-Hawli just wants to be happy at BomberLand, Jade Gresham 2000 only does that many steps in a day, Lewis Hayes wants to live in an unpolluted city, Ben’s Hobb nailed boots are hand me downs from Dick Reynolds days, Zak Johnson and his brothers Johnson & Johnson just want to powder up their competitors, Harrison Jones wants a Ford but can only afford pricey items at David’s shop, Isaac Kako, parrots on like a well known inquisitive NZ bird, Dylan ‘my wings are like a Shiel of steel’, too slow, Jaxon never gets best on because he always plays the Prior game to the main event, Redman spends too much time down at the ‘Masons’ lodge with their secret hand shakes and buffalo hats, Oskar Smartt is too big for his own footy boots, always misses the goals by, that much, Rhys will always play in losing sides, Unwin, never victorious, Jordan Ridley believe it or not is a fine fine player, Kyle Langford is a great kick.

haha. Fair play AW, we've had this coming a long time with our cheek. (me and GS, not the team).
Yeah fark, what can ya say. Traitors gonna traitor. Hawks can have Merrit. Ya just can't do that as captain. Fwiw, Sam Mitchell is a weasel. Was a dirty player and is a dirty coach.
Anyway, the best thing about the bombers, is the fun always starts the first week of September, even when the team isn't playing. Nothing like a rolling controversy!!!
Lovely play with the words ya clever cookie. Be warned, this could trigger a Collingwood reprisal attack at anytime!
