Disappointed in him? What’s with the chip on your shoulder? Did he run over your cat? Celebrate him mate, he is a solid AFL citizen… just like James Harmes.

ha. nah mate. I guess it comes from Watts copping so much schtick being a number 1 draft pick and this bloke with an AFL ready body does [censored] all for years and cops little scrutiny. Not that I want him too, i’d just like some fairness

Fair enough, I’ve got a enough Brisbane supporting mates to know he has copped stick for years for not delivering on the fact that someone else chose him at a particular draft pick outside of his control…

One of the great PF you'll ever see. Well done Lions, please smash the Swans!

Didn’t Swans lose to the Dogs to be the first to lose a GF to a 5-8 team?  Maybe again?

Hey, the oracle that is @Demonland

Has a team ever got to a GF after being 0-5?

Cats must have been close to that in 2007 (or whenever they broke their drought)

So which former players from each team will be chosen to present the cup next week?

Just to rub tonight in maybe Chris or even Brad Scott to present the cup if the Lions win. 🤗

Brisbane is the Fourth team in VFL/AFL history to start 0-3 and make the Grand final

Carlton (1945)

North Melbourne (1976)

North Melbourne (1977)

Brisbane Lions (2024)

Yet people think Goodwin is the messiah, and Petty is Royce Hart. And yes I know its not his fault but plenty on this site still have him playing forward in 2025! Park me!

If we go with what we have had in the forward line for the past 2 years with the salary cap space available, then we are seriously f'n deluded.

And North Melbourne lost their first 4 games in 1975 and then won their first flag that same year

Has there been a team with a worse start win the flag?

And how about the team that lost their last 9 home & away games but still went on to win the premiership!!  

[layzie 33,729]

These were the correct results. In a season where the ladder could have ended any which way, we really did end up with some teams that shouldn't have been there.

I think that Geelong were the weakest team in the top 4, not bad but not the side from 2 years ago. Started the season very well with 7 wins, went on a 4 game losing streak and for the rest of the season went on to post grand wins over Richmond, Essendon, North, Adelaide, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Freo, West Coast. The Freo win was impressive but at the end of the day Hawthorn were the only top 8 side there.

I don't think Port were far behind either and I was so sick of people giving them kudos. The moment they finished 2nd I just knew it was massively inflated. They were not the 2nd best team, great midfield and not much else.

Swans not much better. We lost 17 of the past 23 games against them including the 2022 QF and only 5 wins plus one draw.

Yeah they beat us a few times

The Cats did a lot worse and have been in finals for 20 years

[BW511 2,636]

Very good game of footy. I wanted Geelong to win as the lesser of two evils.
 

I also looked forward to seeing how Dangerfield’s tackle was assessed. The exact type of tackle that people have got weeks for this year and what the AFL want ruled out.

Any excuses? Like the bug they were carrying against us in 2021?

Yes there were plenty of excuses “um, you probably saw all the masks and stuff, which was probably a bit of a giveaway, we had a couple of guys with Covid, off field people, we had…Max had a bit of gastro, there was a little bit of that, but again, please don’t report that as an insurmountable issue for us this week, it was just one of those things that everyone has to manage at some stage…”!!

Watching the swans,lions, cats  highlighted the holes we have in our list and how those teams have managed to improve who have all played in GFs vs our list mgt since winning the flag!

Every time I see Holmes play I rue the Cats for gazumping us with a last minute pick swap to draft him.

What a sliding doors moment that was:  we could have Holmes and Bowey.

Holmes will probably be their next captain.😭
