Looking forward to @ZoBlitz’s thread on all the bedwetting posts.

Never felt so delighted at how stupid I look!!!!!!!!!

Operation Back to Back

Could be our first successful Operation thread, or bit much to tempt the gods?

Thank you FOOTY GODS for answering our prayers.

Just as well we took 5 months off from half time of opening round. No way they'd be letting us draft Levi and Marshall if we'd played like that for 27 weeks

Plus we got McLachlan and Beecken and Craven!

44 points down to premiers. We did it!

Congratulations. Extremely humble last season, great to see fagan get a flag.

Big O celebrating like he did, class act.

Enjoy

Moments of the day:

1. Big O and Fort
2. Hippy’s goal and celebration
3. The final siren

This was a complete performance, what a special day!

2024 Grand Final Form Guide

1. 1s111 Brisbane Lions C.Fagan (Gabba) Fitzroy-Brisbane Bears
MAROON,BLUE,YELLOW (J.Brown)
Won three straight after being freshened up. Finished strongly two starts back over shorter distance. Sustained long run before kicking on the line when challenged last start. Stepping up in class and distance, but looking for extra ground and finished second, beaten by a short half head in this race last year. Top chance.

2. 1s1s1 Sydney Swans J.Longmire (SCG) South Melbourne-AFL
RED,WHITE (D.King)
Second up from a spell is a concern and failed badly when tried at this track and distance in 2022. Been winning comfortably against weaker company. This is a bigger challenge than their last start win against Port Adelaide. Wearing blinkers and pacifiers for the first time. A query at this distance.

The form guide stood up.

David King - I wonder what his take on this game will be.

 

[Toffee Lion]

David King: But can they go back to back? I don’t think so.

Been a joy living in Brissy the last 10 years (about to move to the Wimmera)

From LAST in 2017 to FIRST in 2024

Thought Dunks was immense limiting Heeney's influence and was a tackling machine

How good is footy sometimes?

All the naysayers about the team and Fages can GO AND GET FRUITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

Well done - you guys were superb!





(And you did God's work by knocking Carlton out)

 

[md20]

Unbelievable.

Sorry for the pessimistic posts throughout the year. It's a shield against heartache.

I was unusually confident today which scared me.
Those two finals wins leading into this changed everything.

We absolutely wanted it today and the boys played like it.
I feel like I have alot more to say than this but I have no idea how to put the feeling into words.

What an amazing day.

I’m just glad I didn’t hit send on the post I’d drafted halfway through the third of the GWS game.

Well done guys. Far, far too good for us. Really wished it wasn't against us so I could have enjoyed seeing your boys celebrate at the end. All the best for next year too

Do we know if Joe is retiring yet?

What a way to go out if he is.

Gracious of you, your guys had a great season

All the best next year

Has anyone made a welfare check on David King yet?

 

[fugitive]

Wow just wow, I have been on this board since 2002 and I almost thought I’d never see this moment but here it is

Bloody incredible win!

Just bullied and dominated the Swans all day. I had a feeling this would happen - I definitely felt like it was 2003 again and we were never in doubt

Big Joe’s goal at the end - watching the boys get around him was emotional.

Ridiculous goal by Eric “Akermanis” Hipwood!

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Congratulations guys, your boys were brilliant to cap off a legendary finals series. Well deserved after a long rebuild and a number of near misses in the last 6 years.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Plus we got McLachlan and Beecken and Craven!

Never forget we had pick 6 in the mid season draft

Commiserations, coming on here takes a lot of guts

Best to your guys next year
