Good afternoon @Emelia8 @StuF @TAB @Glisten @Mustang67 @Shaz51 @tyme @Ru-bee @Lauz and all sports lovers here.

I’m back to do my round up of some sports over the last few days.

What a great few days it has been with great results in both the AFL and NRL- especially for me with my Brisbane Lions getting through to the Grand Final on Saturday afternoon against the Sydney Swans at the MCG! Believe it when I say that the match yesterday afternoon against Geelong Cats was both nerve wracking and heart attack style watching it at home on TV here in Melbourne! I know they call the Lions the comeback kings but I still doubted the boys to do it against Geelong given the fact that we hadn’t won against them in 20 years at the MCG, so I was quite happy when they got the job done. The last 20 minutes seemed to take forever to play out and I seriously thought we were done for, especially in the last 5 minutes where Geelong had several options to kick goals but couldn’t convert and only scored behinds instead. To win by 10 points after being down by 19 points at half time was a miracle but considering we were down by 41 last week against the GWS Giants, I still couldn’t believe that we won. Now it’s onto the Grand Final on Saturday afternoon at the MCG against Sydney Swans where I’ll be watching it in the middle of the Pacific Ocean onboard Carnival Splendour. It will be the first interstate grand final since 2006 with the Lions playing the first interstate grand final in 2004 against Port Adelaide. The Lions have only played the Swans once in 1899 when it was Fitzroy Lions against the South Melbourne Bloods with the Lions winning by 1 point at Junction Oval. It should be a great game to watch.Let’s go the Brisbane Lions 🦁! 

NRL- Last night saw the Sydney Roosters take on the Manly Sea Eagles with the Roosters coming away as winners in the end. I managed my watch the game from 20 minutes into the first half after switching over the TV from the Lions game and news and was very happy that the Roosters won. They will now take on the Melbourne Storm on Friday night at AAMI Park in Melbourne to try and make it to the Grand Final on Sunday 6 October. The other final is Cronulla Sharks taking on the Penrith Panthers on Saturday night to see who makes it to the Grand Final. I’m hoping for a Storm vs Sharks Grand Final. Let’s go Melbourne Storm💜⚡️!

That’s all from me! I hope your favourite teams and players/athletes win over the next week, with the Lions coming out victorious on Saturday afternoon!
