The problem is they don’t care about your actual intent only what happens. He didn’t intend to punch it directly out but he did.

I think it was similar to earlier in the game when one of our players tried to kick it to big O down the wing but shanked it and got done for insufficient intent. Our player didn’t intend to kick it out but that’s what happened. I thought that was a controversial one but you can’t pay that and then not pay the Taylor one which was much clearer, I thought.

Look at my post on this. I should do a multi post to direct everyone to the terrible free kick miss the contest before

If anyone wants to listen to a radio call during the weekend, I recommend the Triple M call. Just started listening to it on the flight home. BT is much better on radio than on TV, Jack Heverin seems like a pretty good co-caller also. Jude Bolton on special comms and the jewel in the crown is the always on point Lions nuffy Kate McCarthy.

And they were actually at the ground, which is more than you could say for 3AW I believe.

Her comments were truly fantastic, made you sit up and listen.
 
Just finished watching the replay.

1- Jarrod Berry was even better than I thought he was at the ground live, BOG for me.
2- Great to see Zorko call the emergencies into the circle for the song.. Sharp, Fort and Joyce.
3- Even players that were well down on the night did some vital non stats type things in the last quarter eg. Rayner, Charlie, Payne, Hippy.
4- McKenna added some zip when he came on.

Hopefully the overwhelming emotion and physical toll of such an unlikely win doesn't drain us for the Prelim.

I think the debate is around the fact that the ball seemed to come off the back of Taylor's hand. Whilst I think the call was correct through maroon, blue and gold glasses, it was certainly an interesting way of trying to find the boundary. Who knows, maybe he'd been practicing it at training in an attempt to avoid getting pinged. If so it backfired spectacularly!

Should have been a non issue as the throw was there a second earlier in a better spot for a Brisbane free kick.
 
Bit harsh on Joe

Greater Western Sydney v Brisbane
7 Jesse Hogan (GWS)
5 Jarrod Berry (BL)
5 Will Ashcroft (BL)
5 Callum Ah Chee (BL)

Purely from a Lions standpoint I think they got it right and the correct order > 1- Berry/Ashcroft. 3- Ah Chee. 4- Zorko. 5- Daniher. Could easily justify swapping Joe and Zorks around though.

Love the guy in the next cubicle (black and white check shirt) cheering the Lions.

Joe the sickness and the cure - I reckon that will have legs for the rest of the season.

Just on Conor; I thought he looked really good when he came on, was back to what he produced last year and best I recall of him this year. Having watched the replay many times, particulalry from about when Conor came on. I wouldn't have thought he is getting dropped from that outing.

I agree. In fact I think when McKenna came on for Morris it was a major factor in our turnaround. Suddenly we had a lot more run and with the smaller forward line we disrupted the GWS defence which led to so many running goals. From a coaching perspective I thought it was a great move to do that half way through the third quarter and Fagan should get some credit for it rather than the usual negative commentary he cops.

I wonder how much playing witches hats in week 1 of the finals didn’t help us for the GWS matchup and whether we struggled with the gap in tempo. The fumbling and uncharacteristic mistakes says maybe yes.

Could be true. If so i hope the Cats have the same issue.
I still believe the break will do us good the further we progress.
Time will tell

Watching AFL 360 as fages is on. They showed images of the giants on the siren, usually it’s despair on the face of players but a lot of their players were in genuine shock. Rare that you see those expression on a footy field.

At the ground in all my elation immediately post the siren I looked across the isle and there was a young couple in Giants regalia who were so distressed, tears streaming down the lady's face and utter despair on their faces, standing like statues unable to believe what they had seen.

I felt so bad for them, felt like going over and offering some comfort but thought it would not be appreciated in that moment... I did feel terribly sorry for the Giants supporters though, we know what it's like to cough up a big lead.

Once they have a photo of Joe on their dart board I'm sure they'll be fine.

Would votes have gone something like:

Kingsley / Fagan
5 Berry / Ashcroft
4 Hogan / Zorko
3 Ah Chee / Hogan
2 Green / Ah Chee
1 Idun / Daniher

I think that's the most likely split but also struggle to understand how both coaches could give a BoG to one of Berry/Ashcroft but ignored the other
 
Sam Taylor lost 7 of 41 contested defensive one on ones this year (most lost was 2 in round 8 vs Sydney).

He lost 5 of 11 on the weekend. Which is both a testament to how many times he was beaten one on one, but also how often we managed to isolate a one on one.
