Review Grand Final, 2024 - Sydney vs. Brisbane Lions

[luthor]

3KZ is Football was right about Lester all these years. Make him mod.

Would be intolerable.

The mildest Lester criticism would result in wholesale cardings.

Bailey, Rayner and Cameron still need votes if anyone hasn't voted yet.

 

[Elixuh]

Would be intolerable.

The mildest Lester criticism would result in wholesale cardings.

After Lester’s finals series that is completely fair and reasonable

 

[dlanod]

Thanks for throwing all these in here, I was going to try to dig them up to watch today but you've saved me a heap of time! Plus now they're saved for posterity too.

 

[Nathan Barley]

How good was the Charlie kick to Joe to kickstart our run yesterday?

Surely next season he starts kicking those sitters from straight in front but plays as a more well rounded forward.

 

[dlanod]

Grundy vs Fort, I’m a little suprised at Grundys raw statistical advantage. I thought live, Fort pretty much nullified Grundys impact.

I thought Grundy got on top in the second half but at that point it was completely irrelevant. IMO Fort was as good a rucking example in the first half and especially the second quarter as we've seen this year with consistent use of his reach to initially nullify Grundy and then get it to the feet of our boys.

Well, I'm off to read the Gameday Thread in its entirety,

The thrills, the spills, the melts, the hyperbole and overreactions.

It's nearly as entertaining as watching a full replay

 

[Hank Scorpion]

While we're all sharing what this means...

Too young to remember 01-03, but I distinctly remember being in tears after 04 - growing up in SA, I wanted to be different and go against Port - think that's the only reason I jumped on.

05-08 youthful naive optimism that we'd scrape into the 8 and charge home. All of my other friends at school saw the Crows and Power have a decent run in that time (lol 119.) Played through another Lions dynasty every year on PS2. Only to see our flag legends slowly leave without fanfare.

09 false dawn, but will never forget the final quarter in the EF v Carlton.

10-13 felt like we were slowly building. 13 had the miracle on grass and was my last burst of youthful optimism that we could scrape in and be on the up - instead we had the go-home 5.

Young adulthood takes over a bit from there. But I still kept touch in those darkest years. I remember routinely getting pumped (Freo from memory utterly pounded us one year.) I was there for the 138 pt loss to Adelaide. I travelled over to the G for the game in 2018 and saw us kick 2.5.17 v Richmond.

Still keeping abreast throughout our finals run, I had a horrendous streak of 10+ years and 10+ games not seeing us win in person. (From 2011 v Adelaide, finally broken in 2022 v St Kilda.) Followed by the fightback in the SF v Melbourne.

Then the heartbreak of 2023 which had felt meant to be.

And finally the euphoria of yesterday, after fighting back again in the SF/PF. Different to if 10-year old Hank Scorpion had seen one, but the nostalgia and pain of those 20 years has made it all sweeter.

Well, I watched the replay twice last night.

Now watching all the Lace Out videos with various radio commentary.

Because that's what you do - revel in footy pr0n

But, thinking about everything and watching everything eleventy zillion times, I just cannot help but think of Browny's comment after our victory against GWS in the Semi, where he said we went up a level. Which clearly we did.

I think we went up another level against Geelong in the Prelim.

And I think we went to another level in the GF.

The work is never done of course....everyone starts next season on 0 points. But man....we can wreck anyone.

So let's wreck 'em

How great was his run straight up the middle to set up our first goal! #RyanLesterSpeedMachine

How long have we been telling people that Froggy is the man. He might have played 1 bad in the last 50. Mr Reliable. Love the bloke.

What an absolute pathetic person .

I just assumed he’d start his day telling everyone how “this Lions side can’t win the flag in 2025.”

 

[MSB ROYS]

Good Morning Matthew Lloyd.

They can't say "I was wrong".

 

[Nathan Barley]

Pretty awesome red times in the 2nd and 3rd quarters

 

[FromOldFitzroy]

FWIW a mea cuppa from me. Earlier in the year I took a potshot at Starcevich. He’s made me feel stupid, playing a great finals series.
Well done.
