Have a read back through the thread WCW

 

Well anyone who blames the AFL for our missed scoring opportunities is imbecilic. I cbf reading back through the thread so I’ll take your word for it that there are some people on here who are imbecilic.

A few Lions players were below their best today.

Even Zorko as much as you hate him, really disappointing.

Add Hipwood, Cameron, Neale, Dunkley.

Bet we all have someone at work we aren’t looking forward to seeing 😤

Lions played slow boundary line football like we do.

Collingwood probably should have won by around 20 but they didn't really take the game on either.

Not sure I would call it a great game. Tentative close game more like it

I know a lot of people are disappointed with our flag being won in Perth rather than on the MCG, but the way we won it is undeniably much more satisfying than what Collingwood dished up this September. Fair play to them though, best team in it all year and there is clearly method to how they win so many close ones. Flat that they won today but not as flat as Geelong winning one and life still went on. No Zorko medal is a bonus.

I hope this result burns in our guts.

We should have beaten the Pies in the first final. Not sure we would have beaten a spirited GWS but if we had our kicking boots on, maybe. And probably would have beaten a pretty effective but boring Lions outfit today. 

The Pies are a good side obviously but I think we’re better, even without our forwards (as shown by some of our best missing terribly in that game). 

Anyway, huge missed opportunity. Hope the boys know it and practice kicking over the summer, and maybe we pick up a new forward coach and think of some. We ideas to capitalise on the team.

Would love to be there in 2024 to win it at the G.

I just wanted to knock off Collingwood so then they would have had to go to Brisbane. Brisbane would have knocked them off at home. It's all what ifs and buts but Collingwood just believe and never give up

Go and get Naughton its that blatantly obvious, this team needs some separation that Tmac and BBB gave us in 21.

Friggen fix it while you have the draft capital.

This club that won the flag 1 hour ago were on the ropes and hanging on for dear life against us.

Kicked 0.2 in the last quarter of the QF because we had 1 tall playing his 1st year as a marking forward inside 50. 

Get busy Dees do something constructive, don't just sit on your hands and this is the problem 12 months down the track.

#FFS.

I reckon the only part of this that is correct is that Collingwood should have won by more. 

How you reached the rest of your conclusions is beyond me. It was fast, skillful, aggressive and exciting.

I found the game rather boring.  Anyone else feel the same?

Wow.. I think that's on you then.

That was one of the best grand finals I've watched in years in terms of how incredibly close it was and the pressure from both teams.

I wonder if Fagan will say anything to berry about that dumb 50. 

But again they let there opposition kick the first 2 goals. Then let De Goey respond after daniher kicked that goal.

Take a look at the third quarter

Last quarter only marginally better

(put the scores out of your mind as that was the thing that kept it interesting)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
