Game Day 2024 Grand Final - Sydney Swans v Brisbane Lions

[ioppolo]

He gets alot of flack, but I like seeing the older, long serving guys like Zorko celebrating their 1st GF win.

Even better when they are one club players

Ryan Lester. Debuted in 2011, survived the Justin Leppitsch era that I generally associated him with.

Right everyone enjoy their evening, i'm going to go get proper drunk somewhere quiet in this shithole city.

Me too mate - see you at Kittens

Leigh Brown is a good get

I remember being at a North game the year before he went to Pies and the supporters were absolutely paying him out. He got the last laugh

Also didn’t win a flag unless I’m missing something?

I think you've been replying to too many posters, we were talking about Peter Bell

Did we ever find out what BT’s announcement was

Did we ever find out what BT’s announcement was

I watched the ch7 coverage until the end. There was no grand announcement from BT. The last 45 minutes or so in the Brisbane rooms was Bruce, Selwood and Dale Thomas doing interviews. No sign of Roaming Brian. Thank f***

So flipping weird that 7 made a point to announce that there will be an announcement

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Maybe they realised it's about the Brissie players and coaches and not the Muppet commentary team.

It's a weird time to realise it. After decades of commentating, just before you pull the pin. 'Oh wait, this isn't actually about me.'

That Dennis Pagan is actually a completely different person to Chris Fagan?

I came on here to ask just this

 

[Dark Sharks]

I'm one of the few that like BT, due to the memes, but he's really going douth with his calling.

Making more errors than ever and it's getting less funny.

Time to retire and let Matty Hill or Alister Nicholson take more games.

Ryan Lester. Debuted in 2011, survived the Justin Leppitsch era that I generally associated him with.

100%

Been so chuffed to see Lester play such a pivotal role in their finals series

Debuted as part of a large cohort that kept on leaving the club

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

AFL are such an incompetent organisation. Longmire doing his press conference absolutely drowned out by the celebrating Lions noise.

One of my big grievances with BT is his inability to let stuff go.

Like the Zorko 50m penalty. Fair enough, you thought it was a tough 50 but move on. No need to be bringing it up 2 quarters later when a player is slow behind the mark.

Or any goal that he believes is out of bounds, he'll go on about it for the rest of the call and reference any future decision back to that.

Oh give it a rest.

Are you going to be carrying on like this in the event that Jake Waterman wins a premiership?

It's a wonderful element of our game, and clubs are required to give up draft collateral these days.

Waterman is a different situation because he wasn’t a particularly highly regarded draft prospect.

But aside from that, I’ll generally always side with fairness over sentimentality. It’s a system that’s inherently disproportionately beneficial to successful long-standing AFL clubs, and trading a handful of bunch of mid to low round draft choices is in no way fair compensation for getting the consensus best player in a draft year. I don’t mind a father-son system but make the clubs pay fair compensation, enough of this BS stockpiling picks in the 30s and 40s and ending up with talents like the Ashcroft brothers or Nick Daicos.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Caught a glimpse of Stewy Dew on n the Brisbane bunker. His arrival at the Lions loosely coincided with their their revival this season

We should be in his ear to head up development

Pies are back on the menu

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Just goes to show with a large amount of very high draft picks, superstars from discounted academy and father son selections and strong AFL support on a neutral ground Grand Final, any team can win it.

You forgot priority picks to get them going again

is the first Fremantle player to have gone on to win a flag?

Have to say that Freo letting him go was pretty disastrous. Yeah they got good draft compensation, but look at what he’s done in Brissy - club captain, two Brownlows, four-time All Australian, premiership player and nearly a Norm Smith medallist. I know Brissy offered him more than Freo could afford but in hindsight it’s a pretty big stuff-up to not be able to fit a player of his calibre under the cap.

He wouldn’t stop talking about players overcompensating for the wind because 2 or 3 set shots were left out to the right. I dunno dude, maybe they were just bad kicks?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

And on that note, Rest in P!ss 2024. I didn't hate you as much as 2023, but the bar was already below ground zero that we benchmarked going through the season without a 100 point loss a major victory.
