Apart from last week.

Yes. He was good last week when it counted

Hope this flag means Daniher does retire.

 

[noise36]

I reckon any other finals team would have played better than Sydney today. Even Carlton I reckon haha

 

[StingBitten]

Anyone buttthurt about Lachie's success with Lions?

Would've felt worse in 2019 but now it's just a dull ache..

 

[noise36]

Did BT just call Chris Fagan Dennis Pagan?

Yes

Easy to pick up 1st round draft picks when they're handed to you on a platter

And trade for players when you don't need to keep early picks to access top talent

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

This says to me if we are going to trade picks it needs to be for players who aren’t going to go missing when it matters.

Yeah we are already flush with those. Don't need anymore.

 

[Purpletown]

Have to say brisbane was well managed in all areas on and off the field last 8 years or so. They way they traded and at the same time picking 1 st round draft picks every year and picking good players with those picks. They were resilient after final losses after losses and kept combination of draft and trade. They made sure trades were cheap and used first rounders every year.And they kept playing finals every year and that cohesion helped finally?

That's a template for Freo to follow. A combination of draft and trade.

Its been long enough that I don't care anymore. I can barely remember him as a docker tbh

McLuggage just folds into the ground when tackled

Not at all.

Funnily enough I was still going for Brisbane in 2019 and 2020 because Neale was my favourite player and I still liked him. Would've hurt less at the time if he won it back then when I was still rooting for him. God I was even really happy about his first Brownlow for some reason.

I'm just more bitter about it now because of that 2021 off season where he pretended to be this loyal guy and stated he had "unfinished business" with the Lions so decided to stay. **** you Lachie you had unfinished business with us.

End of the day I'm more annoyed that campaigner ass Fagan gets the flag tbh.

 

[BStaff17]

Yep.

Average margin in a grand final over the last 10 years is like 8 goals or something.

It's actually quite boring as a neutral.

We've had like 2 good games.

One thing about 2013 is we shat the bed but kept ourselves in the game.

It was almost a great way to lose a GF.

Wasn't a heartbreaking loss by 2 or 3 pts but wasn't a 50+ point flogging either

It's literally impossible for us to follow the model they have used to get to this point.

Yeah we are talking about that here. For a losing team in a modern GF we actually played with pride and gave a decent account of ourselves

 

[s_wd6]

Not to mention the amount of players they've gotten via trade who used the "want to get out of the footy bubble" excuse

 

[gaskin]

2 in 30 seconds. Where the **** was this when the game was on the line?

Two father sons with another on the way plus Sam Marshall

Having a quick look - including the drawn GF - there are only 8 GFs with a smaller margin since we've been in the comp.

GWS.
Was theirs to lose. Holy Moly.
35 points up v number 1.
Then 44 v the eventful premiers.

 

[FreoRicci]

Shows how overrated rucks are.

Grundy has been awful

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Why don't we produce any FS guns or just any at all?

 

[FreoRicci]

I mean it's been since 95.

Weird that one.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Yep.

Really hope those academy kids we have access to over the next few years are guns. Whan and Robinson I think?

Knowing our luck they'll change the rules again just as we are about to access them.

 

[s_wd6]

Why don't we produce any FS guns or just any at all?

Maybe because we have only about a handful of players that would even have sons old enough to be drafted, football talent aside.
