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

    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.

    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

    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 🙄

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

    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?

    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.

    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…

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
