One of my favourites was just after Port scored a point and their lead went from 2 points to 3 points, she rolled out 'It's the closest the Eagles have been all day' 🤣
I saw Johnson play in the VFL v Frankston live last year, he's not a loss. Struggled to compete and get into the right positions, and the Pies team was stacked with Hill, De Goey and various others feeding it to him.
If they really wanted it to succeed they should have moved the pre-finals bye to the week before the Grand Final (which also alleviates any concussion issues from the prelims), and played the State of Origin on that weekend with 16 of the 18 teams having players available for it. At least...
I've really loved seeing all finals (bar 1) decided by c.40+ points. And teams get a roll on because you can't put a player behind the play after a goal to stop the momentum. And all free agents want to go to the top 4. So good for footy.
