[Darren Downunder]

That was so good!
Thank you for posting this.
I’m not crying.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Ah Chee running 50m into an open goal at the end of the 3rd Q might be my favourite Lions moment ever

Loved the camera angle going behind Ah Chee running into goal. The joy on those Lions supporters faces behind the goal as he waltzes in. Magical.

First replay since last weekend.

Hipwood low key had quite a good first quarter

Happy one week premiership anniversary!

I've been a bit distracted grieving the loss of Joe but oh my goodness isn't it glorious to be premiers!!

I was jumping up and down like a nutter behind the goals as I was trying to nick of to the toilets and managed to lose my phone. Luckily the police officer had it when I came back and politely sent me on my way when I garbled some offer to get him a coke.

And we need McCluggage to wise up and pick "Number of the Beast" as his song. SIX . . . SIX SIX. Absolute no brainer

Adam Kingsley loves this.

We were 3 rows from the fence and all I can remember doing was standing up and waving Cal in!

Does anyone get the better of Starcevich other than Bobby Hill?

Starce wasn’t on bobby hill for the most part - he was just the unfortunate guy who got sat on when hill took the hanger.

Our most important recruit by far! Also Cam and Harris.

I was really excited to see what Dew could do with the Suns. He took on an absolute rabble and did make big improvements.

Word from a suns fan was he lost the players. I thought it interesting Lyons made a comment along the lines of he wasn't holding a grudge re when Dew joined us. Seemed to support a potential problem.

Dew is in the position to learn people management from the master fagan. Could end up as fagans replacement or might be a career assistant. Most certainly has a lot to offer.

Nice of fox footy to include Fitzroy/Brisbane premiership tally as one entity - even if the AFL won’t do the same!

Just another silly Paddy Cripps gibe.

 

[Vipertooth]

You little beauty, the replay of our granny win never gets old

We can move into equal 4th if we can back it up with a win next year.

I think I saw that interaction. Wondered what you had done wrong and where you were going to be dragged off to.

Could have been worse - you could have said ‘some’ instead of ‘a’ coke

 

[bungalow_bill]

Rough figures but I believe with 18 wins in total and only 8 of those wins at the Gabba for the year.. it means we hit a remarkable 10 away wins for the year plus a draw. After the weekend it also makes it 3 wins from our last four attempts at the MCG..

MCG hoodoo is no more. The Swans have taken over.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Good to see Ed and Jimmy recognise and name so many of our lesser light staffers and ex staff that contributed to our GF win. Also discuss new stadium in Brisbane.

A horse with no game lol. Now that songs stuck in my head.

 

[Elixuh]

The moment I knew we’d won the grand final. Imagine being eye balled by the Dew pregame.

 

[bungalow_bill]

A thing of beauty :')

He's not the messiah he's a very very talented boy

 

[bungalow_bill]

Its a shame Christensen wasn't around for the after goal celebration songs.

I was at one of those player functions years ago at the Gabba and had a great old chat with Bundy about thrash and death metal bands. Didn't talk footy but he was right up for our chat for well over 5 -10 minutes about metal.

Imagine him going in and saying, how bout Cannibal Corpse's Hammer smashed face for my after goal song lol

Not a metal fan but give me that over Joe's atrocity!

Hugh's song is Hey Jude isn't it?
