Lions did well to get to a granny from 5th
Probably were unlucky to drop to 5th in the first place to be fair. Lot of close losses towards the end there. Probably the second best team all year.
Impressive effort for Brisbane to make the GF from outside the top 4 as a non-Victorian team.
I believe it’s only been done once before, in 2019 by GWS.
Like 2019 though, I think Sydney shit this premiership in. I just don’t think you can win 3 consecutive away games against top sides to win a flag. Hence I always thought non-Vic sides cannot win the flag outside of 4th. Fascinating to see if I’m proven wrong though.

How was good was it live mate?!
Pretty impressive lions turnout. Even in the mcc, it was awesome to see.
You could feel hearts breaking when Stanley hit the post.

Adelaide in 1998 won a premiership from 5th but they also had the different finals system of 1st vs 8th, 2nd vs 7th...so they lost in the first week to 4th place Melbourne but weren't in the lowest 2 teams eliminated and then went on to win the next 3 vs the teams that finished 1,2,3 at the end of the home and away season. All 4 games were played away from Adelaide.

They had their peaks and troughs but peaked at the right time. Helps to have the elimination final at home.
I thought todays prelim, Cats V Lions, was an ordinary game until the ten minute mark of the third quarter.
Geelong kicked 7 in the second, but all from no Lions pressure and mistakes. A couple from outta the rear end.
But the third quarter, Lions began to run play the corridor. Put Geelong under pressure and it was game on. It became a real prelim.

Would’ve been a better game if Geelong didn’t keep kicking it to uncontested Lions in their f50.
Both teams were guilty of that.
Absolutely loved it. One of the best games in what's been a decent finals series.
I think Brisbane are the most talented and well rounded team going around and think they'll win next week.
Sydney doesn't have anything like the forward firepower and general spread of talent Brisbane have.
Lohman is turning into a star before our eyes, Ashcroft is like a low key Nick Daicos, playing well beyond his years.
Dunkley is class, we know Neale is a superstar, the Suitcase is going alright, AhChee and Charlie are a fab combo up front.
Defence is well balanced and settled.
Hopefully its a cracking GF, I'll be getting my usual Elmar's Bratwurst in.
Lions by less than 12 points.
