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


Kennedy,Newman, Cripps all 24.

With Ollie on 23 and Owies suspended for the fin.

They still had a number of LTIs

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.
 
Longmuir must be a crap coach where was his plan BCD and E?

I'll tell you where it was Brisbane smashed Sydney's midfield off the park - with a part-time ruckman to boot.

oh no- Brisbane beat Sydney because they ran faster and were more athletically gifted with slim fast runners that look good in skin tight pants when they dance the tango.


LOL

mire. :)
 
Sydney -80 disposals and yet -19 in tackles is not gonna win you a game. Brisbane also took 158 marks (22 i50) due to the lack of pressure/intensity/effort
no you got it wrong - pressure and contested work had NTHING to do with the Brisbane win today - muffin oit was all tango with a bit of fox trot thrown in as plan B!!!

Carlton needs more tango and foxtrot - also sacK VoSSausagehe has no seXion integrity or plan B or C!!
 
Big difference to 11 players playing 27 games.

Monumental.

Yet some people wonder why we're not a well oiled team like Geelong. When they do have outs it's replacing one or a couple of players but the rest of the machine keeps humming along.

The only time it changes is when you lose an irreplaceable player like a Dangerfield for Geelong or an Ashcroft or Neale for Brisbane

Continuity is so important.

Agree. Brisbane had the confidence / skill / courage to play on quickly with handball and short kicks to work through the midfield zone.

270 kicks to 195, and 158 marks to 88 in a game must be a record.

Some people confuse quick play on quick thinking players with fast running players.
 
Geez Katie Perry is terrible

The only relevance Katie Perry had for me was she made an appearance on The Project (yes, I watched it 😢) and during the segment she sat down to talk to an audience member that my mum knows. So that 3 minutes was when my interest in Katie Perry peaked.
