I was at that game in 1992. He was amazing that game. According to records it was 44 touches. Apparently he [censored] off the umpires bad. Here is a story of what may have happened. https://www.footyalmanac.com.au/almanac-footy-the-truth-behind-greg-williams-failure-to-register-a-brownlow-vote-round-10-1993/

I thought Morris and Gallop were too inexperienced and lacked height to be effective as tall forwards in the finals but have done very well so far. Brisbane has not missed Hipwood their only real tall forward. Geelong losing Stewart is a bonus for Brisbane.

Dis Harris Andrews mention Cameron B He presence will complement Snoop Dogg

First time I have seen the commentators more feral than the Filth fans after a non free kick.

I have always liked BM but he is the sort of player we should have chased hard a couple of seasons ago with decent dollars but at his age now a risky proposition. From what I understand Collingwood have been paying him peanuts not commensurate with his output for his career. They always treated him like a bread and butter player and not surprised if they want to move him on.

The AFL already has the premier football competition in Australia and now wants its cake and eat it too.

If we hired Buckley then we would have to hire his huge ego as well which might not sit well with a fragile club like ours which requires sober and selfless leadership. He still is a media man and his profile needs boosting on a regular basis. He certainly had got himself loads of free publicity and media attention in the past few weeks but his sincerity to pursue the MFC job has been questionable. He might have added more $$$ to his future Tassie contract though.

Boring finals series so far. Only one competitive final out of 6 played.

Hard to see Brisbane going much further with current key forwards like Morris, Gallup and possibly Day. Morris is good but can’t do it on his own.

Sorry, rookie attempt.

All their family names start with consonant letters. Not a vowel amongst them.

Amiss and JVR might complement each other well. Reminds me of Brisbane where Hipwood who many regard as soft worked well with Morris this year. After Hipwood went out injured Morris’s game drops off and Brisbane’s tall forward play looked like ours last week. Amiss can lead, has marking presence and is a reliable kick for goal. His woes started when Voss appeared. Now the Freo forward line has Tracey, Voss, Jackson and Amiss competing for the same ball in most forward thrusts. He has been crowded out.

Optus is very loud. Much louder than the MCG easily. It’s a beautifully designed stadium. Not a bad seat to be had. I believe sound gets trapped under the roof and reverberates around the ground like a Mexican wave but I suspect the noise might also be amplified some how with the speaker system. During Bang, Bang, Bang in 2021 the noise was incredible.

Please disregard this post.

3rd non competitive final in 3 days.
