AFL Grand Final 2024 AFL Grand Final - Sydney Swans vs Brisbane Lions

[Shane_Mag]

If we somehow beat Sydney. This Lions would of destroyed us again this year. Such a well drilled team. Port is just chaos.

 

[PJ Power]

Imagine being Darcy Forte in night now lol

And deserves it, playing a great game

Brisbane have the two nerdiest, unsportsman looking ruckmen in the history of football. Underestimate either of them at your peril. The Big O and the Big Fort representing nerdy looking footballers in the best way possible.

 

[Donuts_]

If Brisbane win this they will have won four finals in this finals series and six from their last seven finals. That is some record and possibly the reverse of Ken's inglorious record.

And it's some turnaround from Fagan who had a terrible finals record early on

 

[Portology]

Lachie Neale, what a champion. Grew up a Port supporter - sliding doors...

Carn. Developed under Hinkley he’d be lost at HBF or chasing small forwards in the Mac-n-Cheese HFF position.

 

[TazD]

Spare a thought for Fagans would be assassin David King. Hopefully he'll get Kenny as a consolation prize.

 

[ibd77]

So are we happy to miss the GF and avoid an rampaging Lions or would we just be happy to make a GF?

 

[philreich]

So really this shows we're miles off it

Under Stinkley, yes. Under a competent coach, I'm not so sure.

 

[Portmagpies36]

fages absolutely locked in this season/finals campaign. no emotion just determined to win.

ken hinkley wins 1 final and it's ****ing aeroplane dance and shooting his mouth. absolute loser

Fagan way less emotional all round which tells you he is in control.

Good to see that fairy Grundy flopping again

 

[longdonkey]

119 in play here

 

[HugeJohnson]

Jack Gunston
Jake Lever
Patrick Dangerfield
Tyson Stengle
Charlie Cameron

Billy Frampton

 

[Nelso]

And to think Coleman, McCarthy, Gardiner and the Big O are missing from this team.

Their depth is so far ahead of anyone else in the comp.

 

[Marmozet]

Brace yourselves, because we’re going to be gaslit into “If Chris Fagan can win Brisbane a flag after several failed attempts then so can Kenny”

 

[PJ Power]

How many of our forwards would make the Brisbane side? I have got Rioli and that’s it.

Based on this finals series, Rioli would be lucky to be a sub in their side. Georgiades can polish Morris’ boots if he’s lucky.

 

[Harlott]

Every GF since ‘07’ if it’s looking one-sided. Comes on BF —> “119 in any danger?”
edit: “this could be a dynasty”

 

[all seeing eye]

The absolute quality and battled hardened bodies showing Swans up. Its hard to find a position anywhere in the Lions lineup in which you can see a weakness. They could be heading into a dynasty with more elite talent coming in via FS and academy gifts.

 

[Portmagpies36]

So are we happy to miss the GF and avoid a rampaging Lions or would we just be happy to make a GF?

After 17 years without out a GF why wouldn’t you want to make it?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

This is meek from Sydney they needed to start a blue about halfway through that quarter just to slow things down for a minute, it's pretty friendly out there.

Unfortunately for them they had a cakewalk prelim against a side that didn't show up because they'd already won their GF the week before. They haven't played a serious final since the first week vs the Giants

 

[Shane_Mag]

If Brisbane just got one more goal. It would of been the exact half time score in the 2007 GF.

 

[Rash]

watching Brisbane play right now 'why can we never hit a lead like that imside our fwd 50 and why cant we defend the ground like that'

 

[SureBuddy]

Just look at the size and strength of the Brisbane mids. Dunkley, Neale, McCluggage. God even Ashcroft already looks bigger and stronger than all 3 of butters, Rozee and JHF.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Lions making Swans look second rate.

 

[_VXV]

And it's some turnaround from Fagan who had a terrible finals record early on

You’re saying we should hold out?

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Horse looking confused & asking himself why last weeks 3rd gear effort isn’t cutting it against the Lions.

I thought you were better than that John, you’re up against a genuine football club today.

 

[Portmagpies36]

And to think Coleman, McCarthy, Gardiner and the Big O are missing from this team.

Their depth is so far ahead of anyone else in the comp.

100% Brisbane have the best list in the AFL let’s not forget they were premiership favourites pre season.
