AFL Grand Final Sydney vs Brisbane. Chad vs Neale. 2024 AFL Grand Final Thread.

[s_wd6]

Brisbane loss Gardiner, McCarthy, Coleman Doedee all to ACLs.
Then Oscar.

Sometimes injuries happen.

Losing Pearce and Darcy was no excuse. Such a weak argument

And they had the experience to replace them. Pretty simple.

Also Doedee hadn't even played a game for them and Gardiner was not the sort of guy that's gonna matter if he gets injured. Linc is a goal a game small forward. Not even close to the impact our injuries had.

Coleman was significant but a rebounding defender is still a lot easier to cover with depth than a Key Defender.

“David King, you were wrong!!!”

Say it Fages

 

[stax on the mull]

No.

Bell, Neale, Langdon, Croad, Brown

& Abraham

You forgot Treacy. That is out number 1 KPD and captain, number 1 ruckman, and number 1 KPF. None of those that Brisbane lost were anywhere near as important to them as those three are to us.

 

[FreoRicci]

That's what loyalty gets you. Fyfe spent what should have been his prime rebuilding and trying to help his team where Neale decided to **** off and move on. Both valid choices, but it really sucks for someone like Fyfe to choose the more noble route and have it fail.

What you'd expect.

Fremantle don't reward loyalty. Pavlich, Mundy, Sandi, Fyfe.
You have to grasp the opportunity sometimes

 

[Vimal Anand]

Bell.
Abraham.
Neale.
Langdon
Croad.

Coleman is good, but Zorko got AA playing his role. They lost nothing and possibly gained something with that one.

Zorko was great all year and somehow didn't get injured.

Always nice when you have a 35 year old able to step up and play at an AA level to cover your injuries.

He's quality, the luck part was him not doing any soft tissue injuries.

Insane. I suppose we’d be watching another Geelong flag if they don’t choke this game?

Nah GWS have Geelong's number.

The whinging in here would be about GWS winning one before us instead of Lachie.

has played in more Grand Finals (2) then Freo have played in Finals Series (1) since he left our club in 2018

 

[Vimal Anand]

Meh I’d have preferred he didn’t win a flag, but life’s too short to be bothered by that as a supporter.

If he win 1 we will 3 .. the pick brisbane would have asked pick 8 of 2021 Amiss will have 3 flags

Menegola only played in a Geelong losing GF.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

The AFL have a GF problem. How many teams have been completely brained in the GF overthe last decade? Fact is GFs are shit games for viewers. Yeah yeah yeah there's a good one every now and then, but they mostly suck.

 

[mike91]

Thrilled with that result. Cola academy get smashed in another grand final

 

[#1JohnHuttonFan]

I was going for Brisbane so glad they won.

But Lachie really is full of shit though.. I love this club, such an amazing club blah blah.. dude literally was trying to get back to us 2 years ago.

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

So for those that were happy Lachie won

Neale 2 Brownlows and 1 premiership
Fyfe 2 Brownlows and 0 premierships

Makes me feel sick

Could argue Fyfe would of had a premiership if he had kicked straight in the GF

Brisbane deserve the flag - culmination for this group of players, who represent the best depth in the AFL. We start next year with just them and GWS more advanced than us.

 

[s_wd6]

Must have been a ****ing tough watch for the GWS players. 44 points up in the third quarter. Hold on to that and the flag is theirs.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Alright.

Kapow!!! & Madas are tied in the predictions.

Tonga Bob we got any badges lying around?

No.

Brisbane have just as much with two more coming
