2023 GRAND FINAL

[Willmoy1947 4,069]

Just in relation to The Incident in the last couple of minutes today.

It happened to us and now it happened to Brisbane. They didn't stop and make the player take the kick because there wasn't any advantage. It happened to Collingwood and they made the player go back and take the kick.

And then we sign up the pea heart for another year!

one of the very few players I’ve ever seen that looks dead set terrified on the field. 

Recruiters dropped the ball … premiership team yet we couldn’t attract a gun player in 2 seasons

I pray we can reload and contend again next year or my love of the sport might have died today. What a sad day it is in this country where we see a pack of sexual predators and thugs celebrated. 

For mine, if it has died, it died the day Maynard got off. Everything changed that day and I’m just hoping the change isn’t irreversible. The AFL is the custodian of our beloved sport. How dare they cheapen it as they do.

Id like to know how the AFL caused us to miss so many scoring opportunities in this years finals.

I was at both games and im pretty sure it was our fault

[agent 99 71]

[censored] you AFL this game is so broken.

Coleman BOG in the GF.

Bontempelli best player of the year. 
So great that they are both rewarded for it.

[Bates Mate 4,462]

Just feels flat. Usually have some happiness for the premieres even against Hawks and geelong teams I despise. But this just feels [censored] can't even feel the emotions from the screen that I usually can.

I really hope the story of that game is the advantage interpretation.

There’s absolutely no justification for how that was to the Lions advantage. That was a pure, out and out, mistake by the umpire.

There is no chance in hell that narrative will be allowed to live even in one media cycle. 

[titan_uranus 24,963]

I know the popular thing to do is bag the umpiring. 

But we have so much to learn from that game, and from Collingwood. 

They just won a GF with Frampton, Mihocek, Cameron and Cox as their tall forwards/rucks. They are relaxed, they balance defence with offence, and their supporters support them no matter what. 

They were the best side all year and it’s hardly like they didn’t deserve to win today. 

Brisbane were great, and it will go down as one of the all time best GFs, but rather than trying to tell ourselves they only won due to our poor QF kicking or today’s umpiring, let’s all acknowledge reality - they are the benchmark and they are better than everyone else.

Moore and McRae made good speeches, bit more of thought and respect given than normal. 

[defuture15 897]

They delivered when we failed to. TU

Yep umpires are above reproach! 

[dees189227 12,361]

I watched Moore's speech because he is actually likeable but they won 3 finals by a total of 10 points.

We have a lot of work to do to get back to gf day. Smart recruiting would help.

So now I'm going to avoid social media, not even going to bother watching any footy shows even the sunday one & radio. 

Can we start trade week now?

What’s the point …. Focus on our team who’s recruiting in last 2 seasons of our premiership clock has been below par… we get Hunter who can’t kick & Schace who’s failed @2 other clubs & plays 2 games & a sub ahead of Grundy ???

Too late to learn pies had two average rucks who played a part in the ein without being major goalscorers. Lost season for us.

[Jaded No More 68,835]

At least with daylight savings tonight we have one less hour of celebrating this [censored] to endure. 

[Roost it far 8,104]

Only ourselves to blame for this travesty

KISS should’ve got the NS today, they got paid a [censored] load and running away like bandits 🥸

Who’s saying the AFL caused us to miss scoring opportunities???? Of course they didn’t, but what they did do is make decisions that effectively impacted the outcome of games, directly as well as indirectly. If you don’t think the AFL are writing the book think again. Because they are.

I dont remember a season where there has been so much

criticism of the umpiring from the media commentators.

They must make the rules clearer so that it is easier to get it right.

They should talk to Glenn James, one of the greats!

 

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Most disgusting and unpleasant GF result in my memory.
