Sad, but I'm glad he's made the call. Young men aren't often the best judges of their own mortality, it would have been horrible if he'd played on and something happened. Farewell to a champion and premiership player!

I've enjoyed all the heat people have tried to pile on with that nonsense. History is made to be broken.

That was much more fun than losing. Let's stick to winning.

Thank God for the umpires, but I think it was BT that got us over the line tonight.

Where did I say that? We all know we only win because we pay the umpires. We've only just updated our netbank to Dillon instead of Gillon. Hence our slow start.

I'm worried about BT's mental health too. He's a big Big Footy man.

Guess we didn't drag it in.

How are we all feeling about BT?

So they should, that's what we pay them for.

Like Jesus, Billy has risen.

Billy has been good tonight. Last week too.

Are you 5?

He actually started dropping before the contact on the replay.

Neale pulling out all the stops

One more would be a nice buffet into the fourth

So many skill errors this year. It's chaos

I actually think our defence held up well there. They were getting peppered. We can still counter attack here. Brisbane used a lot of petrol there

Not that bad for us tbh. Lions didn't exactly run away with it. Last year we rarely played 4 good quarters. We just keep absorbing and staying close enough for a counter-attack at the right time. That said, not sure our forward line can compete even if we do find a way to get out forward. No...

To be honest, this looks more like at did last year. Rarely did we play 4 good quarters. Just absorb and wait. Stay close enough.

No marking presence up forward. It just hurts us so much

We are OK here. Absorbing pressure and tall defenders finding form. But we need a counter attack soon.

Norm's back!

Bobby Hill doing his best to trigger PTSD in the Brions

In a close GF you'll get that I reckon. Success that corrupts, and defeat that crushes. Takes a very good team to get back and prepare again. Both these teams seem to have underestimated the effects.

Finally! I was beginning to think this thread had lost its majo. No sooking about pies frees or complaints about BT. I nearly had to call the cops for a welfare check on Big Footy

This year was always going to be different, people usually hate us, but add some success to that and bam! Now you can add in a poor start and it's basically like pouring petrol on a fire. Make no mistake, this is above regular criticism for our situation. I'm not sure how people don't see/deny...

I think the saints tried to keep us in it tbh. Some bad misses in the third should have had it on ice earlier. I only felt "in it" until that bloke got concussed.

It was as greater Premiership to make one as any. Genuine case of a 'champion team' beating one 'team of champions' after another through sheer willpower. As a fan (who it was made for) I loved reliving it. Unfortunately we are just finally out of gas after two years of "getting lucky"...

Depends on your definition of a great team. I thought it was the best team I've ever seen us put on the park. Not from a raw talent perspective, not even close. But from a self-belief, connection and composure point of view, absolutely. That's what was funniest about guys like Steven May...
