Brisbane will have a pretty wild off-season trip this year - Hipwood and McLuggage already booked the entertainment

Ridiculous having two captains

Charlie Cameron to log out on all his devices this time.

Very difficult to find any Sydney players who had an impact but Lions had lots all over the ground. It was a solid gold pantsing.

Sanders reminds me of Ashcroft. Let?s hope he wins the Norm Smith next year

Touch?. I?ve been thinking the same.

I thought Grundy was their best, tried very hard but was let down by the mids

[josie]

I only watched it casually on & off but from bits I saw Grundy looked ok. Did Fort go close to evens at centre & around ground, and/or was it that Lions mids sharked Grundy’s taps? From what I could see Grundy got it to Swans mids enough but they fumbled or looked very slow & were overwhelmed by Lions mids. It’s like the Swans mids had eaten a stodgy pie before the game. Also Swans’ forwards were so putrid.

Ah Chee, Lohman, Ashcroft all chances

Thought Cripps would have romped it in.

Not just tap outs, Grundy with 22 disposals. Fort was just ok and only 12 touches, but he is the Premiership player

He was unlucky

BT just called Chris Fagan, Denis Pagan. Is he drunk?

One of the great bonuses of today is that it's the last time any of us will have to listen to these useless and inept Ch 7 pricks ever again, with Fox Footy having their own commentators at every game next year.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Grundy was horrible in that second quarter when needed.

[jeemak]

Can't believe Sydney lost with Grundy being so dominant in the ruck.


Brisbane just had them on toast on the outside, incredibly bad performance across the ground from the Swans. That's the type of performance that should see the coach and the players absolutely lambasted. No excuses for it, at all.

Not at all shitty about Dunkley winning a premiership, would maybe have been last year but he's dead to me. Happy not to have Bloods Culture gushing in my face for six months. They're establishing a culture alright.......by and by.

This was never going to be who dominates the ruck wins as Fort actually competes. The danger was Fort not being up to it. Clearly he was and Grundy wasn’t well beaten but is a shadow of what he once was.
