"Put the hat on their head and SHAKE THEIR HAND," Pyle could be seen mouthing to every one of the 23 players.

Not exactly, what was exposed in the GF and was going to happen regardless of who the opposition was, that the Toilet Ducks may well be the AFL's love child, and the darlings of the media and those who generate the hoopla and hyperbole - i e those whose salaries are paid from Channel 7's Sydney owners and therefore wear the Sydney team like a pair of arabian goggles - is that they are actually a very average side at best and Longmire isn't the miracle coach everyone thinks he is.

Aside from the fluke in 2012, that's four successive thrashings in Grand Finals for Longmire and a string of piss poor performances from their supposed ' top line ' players in the big dance after looking unstoppable all year.
Goes to show that it's OK to swim to the deep end with your pool noodle and water wings, but when the aids and support is removed and you're left to fend for yourself, you drown.
Satisfying result, Brisbane are a far better side and it's always beautiful to watch these red and white freeloaders getting smoked.

Kind of baffled though why neither club wore their ' traditional ' guernseys yesterday as the game was in Melbourne. I wonder if this was an AFL edict aimed at dispelling the notion of Vic bias and pushing their ' look what we've done for the game in the Northern States ' mantra.
You can fool some of the people some of the time....

Could have replaced the word "Sydney" with "Port" and it read just as logical. Maybe even more so!
