You might want to add a full stop or two next time.
Amazing this corrupted Vicbias comp has a non Vic GF and 4 of the last 6 teams were non Victorian. At a guess 70% of players wanting out of their clubs want to go SA or WA which I don't think are in Victoria..
Brisbane will be gifted 2 elite top 5 talents this draft for a handful of mid picks. Not for the first time.

Glad to see that little gimp Ollie Henry bundled out.
He can take his handsy celebrations to the Pies crowd and stick them up his clacker.

Part of the reason Brisbane were down by 4 goals was that they persevered with that ruck option through the second quarter and allowed Geelong to continue their clearance dominance and momentum. Oscar O couldn't lift his shoulder to ruck, couldn't follow up around the ground and was getting run off his feet by Stanley. Tall forward line wasn't working for Brisbane and Daniher was being well held.
It didn't matter that Daniher wasn't winning hitouts, Brisbane weren't winning them anyway. At least Daniher was competing around the ground. Geelong also got a couple of goals during that time that, whilst capitalising on good team play up the field, the finish was arse and will end with no score or a behind a lot more often than it does a goal which isn't sustainable as well as some bad Brisbane misses up the other end.
In the end the injury probably helped Brisbane more as it forced them to run the ball more and back in their leg speed. It took Daniher away from goals where he can be a bit selfish at times and a wayward kick at others. Whilst I agree it may not be sustainable long term and as a Sydney supporter I'd rather him playing in the ruck then up forward next week he impressed me with how well he competed and even a couple of his defensive pressure acts. That 25 point lead wasn't as dominant a 25 point lead as it was being made out to be. At lot of that came from things that Brisbane could control and easily reverse.

Exactly, now I’m saying I’m less surprised..

Chosen One
I expected the Lions to win ,
but was a ripping game and took two sides to make it that way. Geelong still had a good year

The game looks the way it does today because of the reaction to that dominance.

Pretty obvious that the tide is turning then I'd have thought.You might want to add a full stop or two next time.

Was always going to happen at some point, and when it becomes obvious, things like player movements start to work the other way.
Who wants to move to a Vic club when the momentum is elsewhere.
If anything it highlights that the excuse often rolled out that players want to play for big Vic clubs infront of big crowds isnt necessarily correct, they really want to follow success, which for the past 17yrs has been in Victoria due to the inbuilt advantages the league provides certain Vic clubs.
Thats changing and so are player movements.
I believe were going to see quite a difference in the makeup of the top 8 over the next few years with interstate teams filling more spots.
Adelaide and WC wont stay down for much longer, GC are on the up, GWS Brisbane and Port are consistently up there, Sydney are the Geelong from over the border.
Victoria have Geelong with its unique advantages that hang around, Collingwood are in the equation, but after that it gets shaky.
Bulldogs are up and down, Carlton havent proven anything for a while, Melbourne are a rabble, Richmond are years off, St Kilda and Essendon are no where near it and North, despite their draft concessions, need time.
Hawthorn are the great Vic hope which is obvious in the media hype, they know its getting thin.
Throw in Tassy compromising the drafts in the near future, footy is in better shape outside the fishbowl.

Move over Ollie Dempsey. Kai Lohman is the real rising star we will all remember in 2024.

Apparently cats had gastro, broken hamstring, flu and COVID.

Having the biggest home ground advantage of any team in the comp and endless amounts of farmland might help.

Ollie Henry was homesick
Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
Sounds like it got to you as well

Eddie McGuire would go for Carlton before any interstate team. And there are plenty of Vics with the same mindset as him.

barely. the joy at Cats going out was everywhere last night. other than the dogs there hasnt been an opposition victorian premier that hasnt depressed me. interstate teams are merely our insurance against our real rivals when we don't make it.

yeah dempsey hardly looks like a finals player. Kai though will be the real rising star of 2024
Rising Star is a regular season award…
That doesn’t change because of a Finals series.
The 2 best marks come in the final series and not available for selection for the award.
Small minority, only vic clubs I don’t mind doing well are the ones who haven’t had success for a while excluding Essendon and Carlton of course.
As for this year, great to see non vic teams in the gf, good for the game and great for the vic economy with such a large influx of fans from up north.
Most true footy fans want to see the 2 best teams play off on the last Saturday in September which we have this year.

It’s ludicrous really, stars are made in finals. The rising star should be no different.
Heeney should have mark of the year.
Jezza should have goal of the year.
But no, finals games do not compare to the mediocrity of the home and away season.
Do club best and fairests include finals?
