Barrett was on Geelong the entire year and early-gloating and probably mad that Brisbane ended it.

Brisbane win a premiership and get pick 1 in the draft with Ashcroft
It's hard to see when we'll be contenders.

Eh. Might not be 1. Will be top 4.

Eh. Might not be 1. Will be top 4.

Might not be selected at 1 on draft night, but he'll be another Daicos "pick 4". He's the best talent in the draft.

That is 3 more grand finals pretty much all of our players!

I liked his speech after the game - it was pretty classy. It is harder to dislike him.

Here I'll help you

Many will say Brisbane finally earned the flag they were chasing, but some will say in hindsight they probably underachieved and should've won more.

Fair point. But Ashcroft got 13 votes which suggests that the judges (as a collective) thought his game was 13x better than Lohmann's game. Don't think so.

Not sure that’s the right maths

More like there were 46 players to choose from and Ashcroft was number 1 and Lohmann was number 4 (or whatever) out of those 46.

That Lions team has Doedee, Big O, Gardiner, Levi Ashcroft, Academy kid Marshall, Kiddy and McCarthy to get into the 23 next year

When you look at Brisbane's season up against Sydney's it is almost a near perfect inverse in the way it panned out. The Lions also didn't lose by 100 at any point this year. Was not surprised by the result.

Today is another example of the tension between ball movement/turnover and clearance/ball retentions teams.

It's sort of like the difference you see in the way teams dominate leagues vs cup competitions.

In the league ball possession and chance creation reign supreme but in cup tournaments man making/clear defensive organisation and the counter tend to dominate.

We've seen Sydney get exposed inside. I'm happy that teams can still go to work around the ball and win flags.

You mean when he was kicking goals that set the trend for the Lions?

Ah Chee also kicked 4.

Lohmann's goals early were great but it was the work further up the ground that was relentless and set the trend. Andrews was massive and more consistent.

 

[ghostdog]

both can be true, lohmann got 1 vote which means he was at least recognised. i think that starcevich absolutely deserved to win it, played fantastically all game, kept one of the best small forwards in the game to 1.1 and had little effect on the game. i just think ashcroft tore the game apart when it was on the cusp of breaking even and demonstrated just how high his skill ceiling can be. Ah Chee & Neale were the other players in the votes.

Ashcroft had a great game but he's probably lucky to have been the beneficiary of a Neale-conscious Swans midfield.

What we see here is a very young player who was having some very simpish words said to him by a much older man who has been in the game a long time.

Damn your logic.
