[juss]

Brisbane never lost a final at the Gabba. I love how this Tiger side has made history.

 

[EasternTiger]

The Brisbane kids will learn from that.

You were probably still in your dad's balls the last time Carlton had any success.

 

[Martin#4]

Sure likes a sook to the media this Hardwick bloke.

Jack 'doesn't get much' from umps: Dimma

Frustrated Tigers coach says star forward is getting a raw deal

How much improvement do you have this week?

 

[SplintWhisky]

You must be the only person on this site that believes an equal or higher free kick count equals favouritism.

How could every second post in this thread be wrong?

“Mate” and “bro”. I feel like we’re bffs now. Keep on truckin’

 

[Jekyll and Hyde]

Where are all those cocky Lions fans?

Probably in the same place you were after last years prelim.
Humility, look it up in the dictionary.

Nah I was in your mum

 

[Bazzar]

Lions still haven't beaten the Tiges at the Gabba since 2004.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Brisbane look unorganised. Hope they can get it fixed cause GWS look strong

Yeah I expect it'll be very close.

 

[Captain_Bender]

VFL bush league flags don't count.
P1$$ off back to be bush KKhunt.

Neither do flags won due to start up concessions hillbilly, so Adelaide have 0 flags how sad

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

Where is all the sooking and crying about "oh grimes was holding Charlie". The ultimate professional Grimes ignored all the sooking from Fagan & supporters all fortnight and absolutely tore poor little Charlie a new one.....again.

This game went just how I thought it would. Brisbane went hard at it early, really threw out all their cards on the table in that first quarter. Everything relied on if they could score, and unfortunately for them they couldn't. Brisbane score a big total in that first quarter - they get the momentum and possibly win, as Richmond is force into a panic/comeback/risky play and turn over fest sort of game plan. They didn't score, which means Richmond could chip away slowly, creeping back, taking advantage of the Lions most likely being physically stuffed after exerting themselves in the 1st. Tables then turned, and The Lions were forced into the risky play/turn over situation in an attempt to come back.

They'll learn from the experience. Lions fans should still be very proud regardless of what happens next week. To go from bottom dwellers for years to number 2 on the ladder is a remarkable achievement. They can only get stronger too.. Young side, and now they have become a desirable destination.. who knows what other free agents and trades they will pick up over the next few years.

I thought they sustained it pretty well. They were a bit sloppy defending deep in the forward 50 but otherwise they were pretty good, Richmond put in the 2nd most accurate shooting for goal display in a final.

Handball in the clinches is one of Richmond’s strengths. First half it was off due to Brisbane’s pressure. Second half we got much cleaner takeaways, then the ground opened up in front of us.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Lions still haven't beaten the Tiges at the Gabba since 2004.

That's a stunning record.

 

[Maybenextyear]

I see Grimes has not only taken up Rance's mantle as one of the best KPD, but also as an embarrassing diver.

What an absolute POS, given how much he infringes.

Best defender in the comp. Even better than the fat bloke in your backline.

Deal with it

 

[SplintWhisky]

Not necessarily matey - you can also have a license to infringe without being penalised or not pay marks etc to your opponents.

Yeah that makes sense.

In the context of this game though it was said we got the rub all night. That is what really confuses me for tonight when we lost the free kick count.

Lions had 65 inside 50s vs 54
won the clearances 44 vs 39
won contested possession 157 vs 144
won marks inside 50 13 vs 7
had 25 scoring shots vs 22

What hurt them was the lack of scoreboard pressure.

Don’t think I’ve seen a greater losing margin given the statistical domination. The biggest example of costly inaccuracy you’ve ever seen.

Richmond will not win this. If it were not for 'luck' they would be 0 goals to brisbanes 3

Richmond getting demolished, scoreboard just a formality now

Richmond should have saved themselves the pain and finished ninth like they used to.

Richmond shouldnt even be in this, they've been smashed

Richmond s**tting the bed in their second consecutive final.

Delicious.

Why do idiots shoot their load so early its embarrassing

How many finals have Brisbane played at the Gabba?

Aside from accuracy the Tigers were strolling into forward 50, while the Lions entries required so much pressure, so much effort, it was clear as day. That was telling. Richmond just much better at shutting the oppo down.

None that they've lost.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

Deal with it

Not hard to look good when you are allowed to hold, scrag and flop like a dog, with no consequence.

At least McGovern has some stones to him and isn't a gutless sooking flog.

 

[The Dog]

Then explain it then.

You sound like a 5 year old. Just enjoy the win.
