Lohman for me for the Norm Smith.

So Brisbane were one kick away from going back to back.
Next year they get back Kiddy Coleman and a couple others and add in potentially two more first round draft picks.
How many more premierships do they win? Easily favorites starting next year.

Nice speech by Rampe. Please get a decent haircut.

Pretty deserved. What a comeback after an ACL

And they reckon his brother might be better. Pray for the comp

Can’t help thinking that the Dogs would have made a better fist of the GF than the Swans. But credit to the Swans they got there and we didn’t. Hope this burns the players over the off season and whatever was wrong this season is righted.

Brisbane won it from fifth! Imagine that!

We knew this day would come but was fun while we were the only club to have done it

Brisbane under Fagan

4 times double chance = 0 flags
2 times no double chance = 1 flag

Big deal, they got a home final!

 

[Mojorisin]

Big deal, they got a home final!

And didn't travel all across Australia.

They were classic witches hats. Again.

I’d love to see what happens inside clubs in the lead up to some of these games.

I just don’t understand how they could come out so poorly when everything has fallen into place for them - two home finals and no travel, a week off and opposed to a side who did things the hard way. Bewildering.

Erm… we won from seventh…

I think he means the only club to win from outside the top 4 under the current system. Adelaide won from 5th in the 1990s but it was a different finals system back then.

Personally I like it. What's the point having a top eight playing finals (apart from extending the whole AFL circus and raising more revenue) if no side from outside the top 4 can ever win it?

The Crows won in 1998 after finishing 5th.
They played Melbourne (4th) at the MCG and lost but got a double chance.
Played the Swans in Sydney and won.
Played us at the MCG and won.
Played North Melbourne at the MCG and won the flag.

Anyone know wtf he was referring to?

I assume it was about Daniher retiring

I was hoping it was about BT retiring

We still remain the only team to win it under the McIntyre system without playing a home final.

I agree it's a good thing for a team in the bottom half of the 8 to win it. No team from 5-8 made the grand final under the current system from when it was first introduced in 2000 until we got there, which was a bit weird. It's now been done 4 times - us in 2016 (7th), GWS in 2019 (6th), us in 2021 (5th) and Brisbane (5th). 4 of 18 teams from 2016 onwards to get there feels roughly about right.
