A year after an incredibly selfless act for a teammate, this Lion gets his shot at AFL glory

Last year, Brisbane's Noah Answerth was left watching the AFL grand final from the stands, but his selfless act to help a teammate and his family gave him perspective. Now the Lions defender is ready to play in his first decider.

You need to listen to the latest roardeal podcast 3kz, a whole lot of froggy love (rightly so) on there.

Thanks for the tip BrisVegasDru.

Thanks for sharing, what a likeable bloke. That's extremely selfless and you can see it come through in the way he plays. He likes to tackle and fair enough, he's very good at it. Him and Starc have been huge for us in the back end of the year locking down dangerous small forwards. Throw in Dunkley and Berry, I feel we have enough defensive capability to shut down Papley, Heeney and Gulden and if we do that, we'll go a very long way toward winning.

This team really does seem to want to prove themselves, they are hungry and resilient and have massive self-belief - all good signs.

Midday.

Thank you MM

Hopefully the fact that even those that didn’t play last year experienced the grand final will hold us in good stead to not be over awed.

Do we know if the Punt Road training session tomorrow will be open to the public? Know we have the Caps run on Friday at 1,30pm at the G. (Swans have their Caps at 1.30pm Friday at the G - will be interesting getting supporters in and out - last year we were there 30 mins before it started to get a good possie)

Swans website says theirs is on 12.30 with entry via gate 1 and finishes at 1.15pm - seems strange we then come out at 1.30 as Swans will have lots of supporters watching them. Training normally down the City end so unless we’re up the Punt Road end?

 

[lionsrules]

Midday.

Is that a bit earlier than last year? Reckon we did it around 12:30-1 singing country roads.
Was great!

Good chance to get there early and warm up the vocal cords with a few strong boos

Currently dark and very wet in Melbourne - thankfully it should be fine after today. However, this is Melbourne and the weather here is bat $hit crazy.

Great to see the streets of Fitzroy pumping with excitement and the flags and banners out on display.
