Finals: Week One. Aww, yeah, I suppose that I care.

First quarter of Lions v Tigers was intense. Looks like being an excellent game. Martin having a big influence. I'd be tempted to put Robinson on him, just to see what happens.

The Tigers are killing the lions in clearances. They need to fix this if they want to win.

Neale has 0 disposals!

Please win Lions.

You'd think that would rectify itself. Strangely, the Lions are dominating the hitouts.

Dusty is a remarkable player

Excellent effort by the Lions, to grind their way to a couple of goals lead. That snap at high speed, from deep in the pocket, while being tackled, was an amazing goal by Cameron. Andrews is having a big influence at the other end.

I think the coach must have passed on some words of wisdom - Brisbane is harder in the clinches this quarter and spreading fast to beat Tigers at their own game.

Charlie C . Is elite composure at speed .

Such a high pressure game. Fun to watch. If the Lions can get it into Cameron's hands in the final quarter, then they should kick away.

Lions need the next goal! If they stuff it up from here, they are going to rue a few missed chances. They could have had it wrapped up at 3/4 time.

Phew.....nice review.....but they still need the next goal.

[stevoswan]

Bloody hell, Reiwoldt goals......this is getting tight.

[stevoswan]

Lions have it now.....great snap by McCluggage and another favourable review.

[MattW]

Yes.

[dejavoodoo44]

Real intense effort from both teams. Attention grabbing for all of the match. Really liked the way that Lyons, Zorko and Neale, came back after quarter time, to get on top in the midfield. Ably assisted by McInerney in the ruck. Andrews and Rich were brilliant in defence, while Cameron was the best forward on the ground.

Great win by the lions ! They showed plenty tonight. Also one step closer to a cats and tigers straight sets exit. I could really use that.

I was less impressed with Mabior Chol in this game and am lowering my rating for him as a trade target. I thought he did a reasonable job in the ruck, but the rest of his game was mediocre at best. He did little when forward, but the Brisbane defence was very good.

For me it is easier to pick the teams I want to fail:

• Dogs - no explanation needed
• Tigers - riding on the Dogs throwing coat tails and Dimma is a d#@%
• Geelong - Selwood ducking, Ablett sniping, Taylor playing dirty and never getting called for it and all whilst having a seeming larger salary cap than most

Hopefully the Saints thump the Dogs and Jones ploughs through Liberatore

+1
So far so good.

Enjoyed that. Feared the Lions were going to lose it after getting the wobbles when they had chances to seal it, but they hung in there. Plenty of talk from captain and coach about resilience when it's not going your way. Good to see that put into practice.

Also thought they look a very different, and better team with Andrews in.

And so to Saturday. Find myself hoping the Saints bring their physical presence tomorrow - within the laws of the game of course Jones in should help there.
