Brisbane just want it more. Swans stinking it up 2 GF’s in a row.

It’s a pity the lion’s weren’t this good last year 

That's exactly what I thought. Where was this last year

Yep.

Sydney have just stopped.

They look like they trained all day yesterday.

Their shot.

Yeah your right, no Sydney player looks really on

Depends how Sydney come out after half time, but they have been dominated this quarter... Brisbane going to be hard to beat from here

Said it all year. Swans not good enough. Their forward line is worse than ours. 

Remember when Brisbane were 44 points down against the Giants unbelievable turn around 

I hope the Lions win. It would be great to see Conor McKenna get a premiership medal. After the Bombers, he went home and won an All-Ireland for Tyrone. He came back to Oz to the Lions. He would be the first Irishman to do it in that order.

Swans getting exposed by pressure. If you want an AFL match to be decided by talent you need to at least match the pressure levels. Lions may have more talent, but this one's being decided by pressure. Unforgivable by Syndey for the 2nd time in 3 years.

Blink and that's it. 

Sydney blinked first

 

Tell you what, Ah Chee has quietly become a very handy player for Brisbane over the last few seasons. Very underrated. 

Sydney need to bring on Ted Hopkins

Handball, handball, handball 

Would've been nice to have a decent contest to watch.

Their forwardline is not the issue. Their defense is and their clearance work. No idea why they didn’t play Adams. They have too many outside mids who can’t win their own ball when the heat is on.

Grundy has the second most clearances for them currently. 

How incredible that a team that have absolutely smashed the comp all year are being absolutely smashed by a team that looked like they would not even make the 8 for most of it.

A team that has traveled miles and played an extra final has three times the energy of the other.

Lions were playing good footy but it seems more that Swans just stopped moving .

They turned into complete plodders for a whole quarter.

Lions pressure was strong but it wasn't off the charts.

Hard to work out what happened.

Lions playing confident footy with players backing themselves and prepared to take risks.

But Sydney just looked lazy all of a sudden too.

Oh well......if you think it can't get worse following Sydney.....it's time for Katy Perry.

 

Loving every minute!

Swans can't get their hands on the footy

Would rather sacrifice my left nut than see Zorko win a flag, but my disdain for the subhuman asides, Fagan deserves it and no doubt would bring Neale Daniher a lot of joy seeing Joe and Fagan with medallions

Swans have a great fwd line imo.

But the whole team just stopped running and taking the game on.

Turned into spectators after such a strong start.

Maybe a voo doo from their last gf birth.

They are a fantastic side but we've seen a few games this year where they didn't turn up.

Sadly this is another one.

Good aggressive, positive football driven by foot skills slaughtering timid, boring, ugly, contested obsessed footy.

Get it to the outside with some dare and willing to take it through the corridor with foot-skills that should be expected from the highest league in the land.

Anyone know why Bruce is backing commentating? I thought he retired 5 years back.

Swans bigfooty has a sack Horse thread running. How much responsibility should the coach take for the players not having their intensity up at the level of the oppo? For me, it's the players. These guys are way off and if they were competing as hard as the Bris guys then you could start questioning the tactics if they're still getting done...the players have been so poor here. Who on the field is willing these guys to turn the tide?

Heeney also putting in another Herculean performance on GF day. Bloke must suffer from some serious stage-fright

lol.  Was that the Swans psychologist addressing the entire swans team at half time. 

The Swans have been dismal. For starters, there's no-one in the middle wanting to do the grunt work. They all want to be the bloke who streams out of the centre or who takes the handball receive. Meanwhile, they've got their best in-an -under player in Parker minding Harris Andrews in the forward line. The Horse has outsmarted himself in my opinion.
