GREAT weekend for Sport in QLD

Published on September 16, 2004 By trina_p In Sports & Leisure

This Saturday night will be an Amazing night for football fans - whether you like the NRL code or AFL - if you're a Qlder you're in for a treat. If you don't like eiher code - shame on you move interstate now (okay so I'm kidding)

I had a look at the statistics - The one time this year the Lions played the Cats they lost 92-65 (but I'm sure they were missing key players)

- Saturday night 6:30pm it will be on - Brisbane Lions verses their feline inferiors Geelong Cats.

When the Lions win tomorrow they will be in the Grand Final with the winner of tonights game - St Kilda Saints vs Port Adelaide Power. It doesn't matter who wins that we'll still win

It would be kind of funny if Port wins and there will be two non-Victorian teams playing for the Grail at the MCG

The Lions have played St Kilda 3 times already this season - first game the Saints won 92-91, second game round 21 they copped a flogging 130 - 85 and again in the Qualifying final they copped a severe flogging 149 - 69

Brisbane took on Port in round 11 only and won a convincing 123 - 86

Port has taken on just once St Kilda in round 14 and they won 93-47

and just in case the cats get the better of their superiors (hah) The cats have played Power & Saints twice -- they beat the Saints once and were beaten by Port Adelaide in both games.

Now for those NRL fans out there - This is the first year since their debut that North Qld Cowboys have been in the finals - and unfortunately for them they're playing the Broncos in an elimination final tomorrow night.
Two QLD teams playing at the home ground of the Cowboys - they last met in Townsville and the Bronco's beat the Cowboys at their home ground - 19-12

Will there be a replay?

VERY EXCITING WEEKEND TO BE A QUEENSLANDER!!!

GO LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LETS GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You damn Banana Benders

You dont understand the Vicotrian shame of the possibility of an all interstate Grand Final. The sacred and hallowed turf of the MCG will be desicrated by a couple of pretenders... The glory days of Brisbane will be over very shortly... dont you think 4 premierships in a row is enough? I am consigned to supporting the Lions though... I really don't like Port Adelaide, and I think the Lions Grnad Final experience will be quite telling in the end...

It's a shame the Saints couldn't get up for Robert Harveys 300th game... that man deserves a premiership... oh well... I think he will play on next year!!!

Good blog Trinz

BAM!!!

3 premierships -- 2004 will be our 4th!

Thanks Mugz - I realise the shame of Port Adelaide & Brisbane playing at the MCG -- I just think it's funny. I'm really looking forward to tonight (I think the Cowboys will probably get up over the Bronco's but I'm still hoping for a Bronco win -- two Brisbane wins in one night would be cool!!!!)

You don't think the Saints will win today? Oh last night -- but isn't it being televised at 2pm today?

Do you think the Cats will win though Mugz? They did in round ...13
