2023 Grand Final - Pies v Lions ... Australia Mourns!

I’m taking a couple of positives out of the pies winning.
1. It wasn’t Carlton
2. It wasn’t Geelong
:)
I’m happy to let the pies fans at work enjoy their win, but if they start rubbing me up the wrong way I’ll just tell them to get back to me if you win a couple more in the next 3 years. If you don’t then you are just one hit wonders like the teams that won flags after us
Agree, but Geelong at #1 and I'd prefer Carlton to Collingwood.
 
James Reynes still going around or Boom Crash Opera or Brytan Mannix and Uncanny X men.

They can get the Dance Monkey chick back who played at the Wunnnnderfull 2019 GF.
In four years time 1927 will be performing their centenary special.

What are the AFL Gunna do for half time entertainment when KISS, ACDC, Tom Jones, Meatloaf (oh right.. ), Crowded House, Kylie, John Farnham, Daryl Braithwaite , Mark Seymour, Barnesy Chris Isaac and every other artist from the 70s and 80s are no longer with us?

Rolling Stones. Keith Richards will never die.

Collingwood brought in Mitchell, McStay, Hill and Frampton in last October.
Hill for pick 40
Mitchell for Oliver Henry
Frampton 3rd rounder
And McStay free agent.

They won a flag with 1 goal from 2 of there key forwards. Milocheck
They were missing there ball winning midfielder Adams.
There 2 tall goes off the ground before half time
How shiit was Brisbane??
You may have forgotten about a couple of umpires also.

Kissed on the dk countless times.
Where's the new rule 'you can't just drop and jump onto the ball'
The duck and dive like no other team.
Gws shouldve been in the GF.
The disgrace of Dacios being paid a free kick 2 minutes in the game when GWS couldn't buy a free kick last week

Nah, mate the planets were all aligned. It was obvious that the scum were gonna win it, since the start of this year. Gill told me. :unsure:

I'm.not sure if it was planned by Fagan or whether his side was just too scared to actually attack, but they will win nothing playing putrid football like that.

The Pies stole one while the comp was at a low ebb. Winning that game by under a goal to possibly the stupidest team going around was hardly inspiring.

Collingwood lose one of their tall defenders early in the game, and Brisbane don't have the good sense to get the ball down to their tall forwards quickly. I'm no Hipwood fan, but when a team is going backwards and sideways with 15m kicks, you simply aren't going to get many opportunities as a tall forward.

That premiership team has got 4 or 5 players that would struggle to make the starting 22 in most AFL sides, but at rhe end of the day, they have premiership medals.hanging around their.necks.

But it just looked to me like the Lions were so scared of losing that they never gave themselves a chance to actually win the game by taking it on.

Besides the scores being so close, it was a outriders game to watch.

Spot on.
I haven't seen Brisbane play that slow all year and especially in the last 2 games.
They kicked the ball backwards and sideways all day refuse to get speed into the game.
When they did it in the 2nd qtr they went from 10 points down to 13 point's up.
Brisbane has too many players that wait for others to chase and then tackle.
Dacios all day side stepped on coming opposition.
He was really hard to watch.
They looked clueless with the length of the MCG.
They refuse to go long

Berry got a F rating.
He shouldn't have been the only one.
Stavavich.
Raynor
Hipwood
The ruckman
The Irish bloke
Mcluggage
Zorko

All deserved a F
 
I can move forward from the gabba Lynch ARC elimination now.

The Lachy Neale disadvantage squares it weirdly for me.

Just got home. *smile* result but one of the best GF's I've seen in a while (excluding the obvious). Hats off to the pies they got it done when it counted. The contentious 50 in the last quarter killed the lions. Still, what a cracking game.

Let's get it done tiges, next chapter starts now,.

Positives in the last week:
1. No Daicos Brownlow
2. No Neale Norm Smith
3. Dusty still the only one to win all three in a season.
Still doesn’t make up for 16 premierships.

Worst team to finish top?
Love ya Seven, you're a classic (I've had a couple). I think you my be right! But at least it wasn't the Blues, I'm afraid we've all forgotten how much we hate those *smile* too....

Never forget they beat us in a final from 9th......
