TBH - Lyons played like a guy that wanted the run, but didn’t want to risk too much.

Pardon the intrusion.
I was speaking with my mate who is a Williamstown player about how some stand alone sides can be so strong compared to AFL aligned sides and he says the AFL-aligned sides play the exact same way their AFL sides do, to help their listed player's development, whereas the stand alone VFL sides simply play to their strengths the way they want to. A lot of these games come down to talent vs game plan. Werribee wouldn't have many blokes who could play at AFL level, but the Lions have plenty. However the Tigers can play to their strengths as the VFL premiership is their goal. Brisbane's culmination of 23 however might not be strong enough to play out an AFL-level game plan every week. Keep in mind every AFL-aligned club's main goal is player development. Results are an afterthought.
VFL results aren't a clear guide of an AFL-aligned club's depth. Nevertheless it's irrelevant in Brisbane's case as a preliminary final is still a great result.
Lyons was ordinary to say the least, not on his own there though.

Going through the Afl listed players that we put out there today, there wouldn't be a lot of players that I would regard as developing. Tunstill, Sharp, Smith, Lane and Brain. A couple not included may make it but speculative chances at this point.
Barlow has got Werribee humming and wouldn't be out of place on the coaching staff at Afl level.

A big preseason from Shadeau Brain and I think he will start to take shape as a player with potential. It would be good to think he might even sneak an AFL debut next season if he keeps developing at the same rate.
Daryl Junior is showing some signs that he might develop. Just enough there to keep working with I think.
Henry Smith is a slow burn but looks to be making progress. Could be a season or
more away yet but that seems to be the rule with most talls.
Despite being ordinary at times I can still see potential in Sharp and Tunstill. The other one who has lost a season to injury but hopefully gets a renewed chance is Carter Michael.

This is all true, but still doesn't explain how AFL-listed players consistently fail to hit 5 metre handball targets or 15 metre short passes.
Ronnie James played in a grand final at 14 (when it was VFA).
So the answer is 1985 before the league went professional?

Don’t rate Huddo as a Coach.
I think the team has got progressively worse as the year has gone on.
Panicky and lacking structure and a genuine game plan.
Also a bit of a list turnover at the lower end of the list is not a bad idea.

Changed my opinion on Reville, I reckon if they delist a few he might get a rookie spot.
A lot of players didn’t seem like it was a spot in GF at stake. Maybe a few know their fate and will be cut from list in next few weeks.

Same. Second half of the year quite impressive.
Probably agree, seems like the VFL Coaching gig at Lions just gets passed around. Be good to target abb by proper coach who is invested at VFL Level. But you will always be dictated by senior AFL Coach I suppose.
The players would be getting feedback about their performance and position at the club all through the season.
The ones who are going to be delisted or attempted to be traded would have a reasonably good idea as to what is happening by now IMO.

Piss poor effort. AFL listed against amateurs? They cashed in in red time every quarter. No effort, no skills, no game plan.

Was at the game and what was most noticeable was the lack of any system moving into the forward line and the inability of any forward to win the contested ball
I assume we had as many inside 50s but the formentioned problems meant we never looked like scoring
No one put their hand up for selection for next week but Fullarton and Cockie will be packing their bags.
Fort was our only clear winner

See you on the 9th green at 9
Puts on his Elixuh hat ...
If Gunners had played we would have won that easily not only becuase of the goals he would have kicked personally but because of his organising of the forward line and the increase in cofidence from the mids just knowing he was out there.
St Jack let us down today
Exactly. And we don't want to be saying this next week now do we. We know what must happen.
