Poor rampe having to make another runner up speech 

Looking like Ashcroft, Neale or Zorko for the Norm Smith. Hard to separate them actually. Ashcroft or Zorko for mine.

If the footy gods can help -please make sure Papley will never wine one

Brisbane should really cash in and win by 100+

Yes and no. He was brought in to give them the difference in games like this. It's not happening and he's not performaning at the level you would pay a million bucks for on the big stage.

I've never seen Grundy as a great player.

He's a good ruckman with usually good tap work.

His skills at ground level are above average.

But as an intercept mark....terrible.

A forward.....well...

A defender, nothing outstanding.

Who was the last AFL premiership coach who didn't play AFL/VFL?

Swans have been grossly, woefully uncompetitive in 2 grand finals in 3 years. Whatever they’re doing in the lead-in week is just plainly the wrong thing. Otherwise, not sure how I’d feel if I was a Swans supporter. 

I reckon the Lions have had training sessions that were harder than this quarter.

It's not about the I50s today, it's the quality of the I50s. 

10 goals from turnover

Yep - wish lohmann hadn't gone missing in the 3rd quarter

Yeah, no really obvious Norm Smith yet, Lohmann mattered early with his 3 goals, but nothing since so far.  Hate too ay it Neale has been super clean, maybe Ashcroft. 

Maybe AhChee?

But everyone would tell you that Longmire is 10 times the coach Goodwin is 🙄

This is the first time according to ABC radio. 

Brisbane are really going to enjoy this final quarter 

Don't forget Brisbane came 5th. They've done this outside the top 4

On the post mortem, it's going to be hard to pinpoint what the heck happened.

Swans were fine for the first but just didn't front up in the second.

It's not like they were flat from the get go.

Where did it all fall apart?

 

Big scars for the Swans here. They won’t believe after this.

Dennis Pagan I’m guessing, as BT just said will Dennis Pagan be the second coach to win a GF without playing a game of AFL whilst the cameras were on Chris Fagan. 

only thing is Pagan played for North. Another BT pearler 🤪

The question is: are Sydney a good team having a shocker in a granny AGAIN, with Horse being not much of a coach, or are they an average team who overperformed and are now getting found out? In the latter case, Horse is a very good coach.

Neale looking good for the Norm. If he kicks a goal it's done 

Got to admire Swans ability to get to multiple GFs, but have choked bad in a few now.

Something just so off kilter.

As mentioned prior, I could understand if the lions had the jump from the get go.

So is it over training in the previous few days?

I thought the lions would be flat.

But I was so wrong.

 

Omg do u think BT could get ANYTHING right in his commentary. 

He is like the weather reporters who say the wrong thing but still has a job. Unbelievable.

Denis Pagan played for North Melbourne when it was the VFL. Edit - ooops, missed the tongue in cheek tone.

No, pagan played 143 games for North and South Melbourne. That was a brain fade by BT referring to Fagan as Pagan…
