What a luxury to have 11 players play every game. Half the side. That's the difference in winning a premiership.

We probably had 11 players on our list who in total didn’t play 27 games.

Lions were in champion data’s bottom 3 for games missed through injury (with us and Richmond). One of the most hard earned flags I can think of.

Just got home. That was trash by the swans... I'd be so bloody flat......

I've read rumours that Horse could be trotting off to West Coast potentially.

Have seen similar. Not sure what today does for that.

Agreed. Very interesting offseason coming up for the whole comp.

Kennedy,Newman, Cripps all 24.

With Ollie on 23 and Owies suspended for the fin.

They still had a number of LTIs

in other news, the applause for Cripps in the car was awesome .. seems like everyone likes him

Yeh the likes of Doedee, Gardiner, McCarthy and Coleman are each significant outs but having 11/22 play every game just helps build cohesion that we never seem to be able to get.

Coleman only real loss there.
Others going down gave Lohmann, morris and a couple other kids exposure that they’ve thrived from.

The Brisbane Lions had a really impressive finals series, so much run, confidence and power, having good ball uses off half back, having pace, power and height in the forward line and players who are hard at the ball and opponent is great to watch.

I dont see our team and list being that far off compared to the two teams out there today, one or two players in areas of need and things change all over the field.

Doedee is very underrated - an incredible pickup for the Lions as one of the best intercept players in the comp imo. Also a great leader. McCarthy a very good forward as well. Gardiner would have helped as well with some of the games where they lacked KPDs

They're probably not counting VFL...

Doesn’t suit their agenda to count the VFL.

Wayne Harmes was 19 and the inaugural Norm Smith medallist in 1979, younger than Ashcroft who turned 20 in May.
