Oppo Camp 2024 Finals Discussion (other games)

[Paul Kersey]

Blakey's moment was playing for a free and not to the whistle when the game was still live.

 

[Since 2001]

Never seen 3 "top quality" mids seek out so many frees in a grandfinal, make simple mistakes and go to the ground so easily as I have with heeney, gulden and Warner.

Longmuire has to be looked at aswell. 4 losing grandfinals, last two looking at a combined loss of 160pts

Starcevich....normie

 

[Birdofprey]

Starcevich outstanding finals series and today composed and effective from minute one

 

[dixyland]

Who gets norm smith? You almost feel like the second half shouldn’t come into it.

I'd be happy worh either of Ashcroft, Ah Chee or Starcevich.

Long Longmuire has to be looked at aswell. 4 losing grandfinals, last two looking at a combined loss of 160pts

Sydney as a whole have been infuriating to watch today. There was that kick that came off the side of a Brisbane forwards foot in either the first or second as he was kicking for goal and there were Swans players appealing for deliberate. Off a kick at goal.

 

[moginie]

Did Taylor just call Fagan, Dennis Pagan?

He did, and then tried to cover his tracks by saying that Fagan would be the second coach to win a grand final without playing an AFL/VFL senior game.

I'd be happy worh either of Ashcroft, Ah Chee or Starcevich.

Neale has dominated midfield from the first bounce. On a dodgy leg

I just hope this is the final nudge needed to make the Sydney list implode.

This loss after 2022 drubbing surely starts to rip the club apart. Some repeat offenders have again not risen to the biggest game of the season.

I've loved Starcevich's game but don't reckon he wins, too thankless a role and Brisbane have been dominant. I thought it was already in the bag for Lohmann as he was the best when the game was on the line but he's not done much since, reckon it's Ah Chee's now but Ashcroft would totally deserve it.

Nah 202cm as always?

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I was hoping this would of been at least an entertaining and close final

 

[Endorphin Machine]

Have to say not playing the mcg is a factor for the swans. maybe they should relocate …to south melbourne

 

[Books]

Start penalising clubs for ruining GF day

"A form of tanking".

 

[kenneje]

Neale. Felt like he won every centre clearance in the second and third quarter.

 

[H00t]

I wonder if we slow down our game a little bit .

As Brisbane don't run like we do and have won the flag.

Brisbane don’t play as quick as we do because they can’t. They don’t have the runners to do it all game.

They need to rely on their contested game a lot more than we do with both marking and around the ground contests.

They look great when they are able to play faster when the opposition is off like today. Otherwise they have to really grind teams down.

 

[KermitJagger]

This finals series is what makes you understand that it's not purely financial reasons that sports like NBA have series instead of single game deciders.

 

[I wanna pash Nash]

Ashcroft is everything we want Cam to be.

Will be between him and Neale for the norm. Ah Chee and Starcevich have also been great and should get votes.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Here's an early call.. Swans won't make the GF for a long while yet, they're done. Not just because they've lost this one, they have the most dysfunctional frwd line going around! Can't keep asking for your mids to win the ball AND kick goals every week! Lions will miss Joe if he retires though, I rate him higher than anyone on here it seems.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Good get. Cam does actually remind me of Ash. Let's hope he takes that next step next year.

 

[Off The Couch]

It has been quite enjoyable to watch the demolition

The media pumped the tyres and Fages called them on it

I mentioned at the start that Sydney looked pretty emotive at the start - not overwhelmed but maybe feeling the expectation

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Ninth premiership involvement for Leigh Matthews. Won four as a player with Hawthorn, then coached Collingwood and the Lions to four premierships between them. He's now a director of the Lions. Not bad.
