AFL Grand Final AFL 2024 GRAND FINAL: 2024 Premiers BRISBANE LIONS

[Shai]

What a day, the Lions hit it for 6 and the best horse in the country won

 

[CarterS]

Ended the "cant win on the MCG" narrative fairly comprehensively.

Yeah if was that wrong I would also try and forget I ever said anything. We didn’t really want or need your support by the way. As I thought, in true Collingwood fashion, gave credit (because you had no choice) with some back handed shit in there. Anyhow you are now forgotten and I will just hope we can do what your club couldn’t and make finals next year. Adios- you should change your name to Wrong Grundy.

No problems, Johnno. Is the back hand shit the bit about our recent hatrick against the Lions. Youre premiers despite it mate. dont let it eat at you. I wish we'd known each other a year back but I can pretty much imagine your reaction

Just checked - you tanounced that you were taking a months leave from BF. after last years granny Probably the best thing if youre a touch fragile. Bloody hell, I'm glad you won for your well being!!

My Premiership Ladder

Brisbane moved up 5 positions in to equal 2nd place with West Coast. Hawthorn moved past West Coast in to first place due to premierships weighting being less for Hawthorns larger par premierships

I’m going to have to revisit last years GF thread and every flog that picked Brisbane is going to get some stern words.

Maybe the ones who said Collingwood would not win one finals game and waste another opportunity might be more appropriate- that’s what Wrong Grundy said.

Ah Chee robbed

There's a crime spree at the G

Why stats don't always mean much:

There was a moment in the game. Third quarter maybe?

Dunkley had a three v one in the centre.

Sprinted and pushed three blokes out the way dived fwd and pushed the ball out to a loose Lion who went off to create a goal.

Dunkley probably didn't even get a stat for it but it was absolutely beast mode.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Imagine busting your arse all season to win a premiership and your beer sponsor is XXXX Gold.

I feel so bad for them.

That stuff is vile.

I said to my friend in the stand watching this that this would have been on the review tape Monday if there was a review on Monday . In 2021 , kossie pickett didnt do a lot on the scoreboard but his defensive acts led to a few goals



There is a link in the comments which shows his smother in the first quarter which led to a goal

Agree. This is where your mate Danster needs to be a bit smarter when he dismisses Rayner.

 

[Xtreme]

Also an early favourite for the Dally M

Albo has him on lock to be Australian of the year and I hear the LNP want him in as their contender to take on Jacinta Allen at the Victorian state election!!

You probably won't ever watch this game again, but Dunkley kept pushing Heeney under the ball at stoppages, and Isaac couldn't get a run at it all day. Later we were informed that Heeney was injured but that's what happened.

Yep. Absolutely noticed that. But then I think why don't players do that every single week to Heeney?

 

[WillHayward]

Reckon Brisbane get the win by 17, Joe Daniher NS.

Not bad..pretty close

I have heard so many people say how disappointed they were that the game was one-sided. Had they been watching closely they would have seen a perfect example of how brilliantly our lovely game can be played.
Hardly a disappointment, nor a waste of time. Best ball game on the planet, especially when it's played to this level of perfection. Those who say otherwise know little of the joys sport can provide. They watch it for the wrong reasons.

I wanted to see Sydney lose and I wasn't disappointed

Neither.

Also, need a tweak of your sig.

Absolutely spot on.

I would have given him my 3 votes for the Norm Smith.

Unbelievable footballer and reckon he's one of the first picked at the Lions

 

[Xtreme]

Neither.

Yes the next time I watch the 2024 gf it'll be my 6th viewing!

 

[RCAB]

It happens to most midfielders.

They usually adjust and jostle for back position, run and try to get a block, or they just power off and run away.

Heeney did none of these things in the GF.

I’ve talked about this moment since the game to way too many people who don’t know what I’m talking about.

It’s so unheralded, but actually my fave moment of the game.
