GWS 2024 SF 🤝 Collingwood 1970 GF #AFLGiantsLions #AFLFinals

Agony for the Giants. Lost the seemingly unlosable. Memorable win by the Lions. Great for the footy soul. It’s a beautiful game. #AFLGiantsLions

$20,000 for that?! Ken Hinkley’s got his siege mentality, backs to the wall motivational piece for the week.

Why India are so hard to beat in India: you get through their top six, only for Ashwin and Jadeja to put on 195. They’ll probably take 15 wickets as well. #INDvBAN

This game isn’t over. Swans will need to correct this second half. #AFLSwansPower

Close to the perfect prelim for Sydney. No serious injuries like 2016, 2022, and got an honest enough hit out to shake out the cobwebs. Do you pick Callum Mills next week? #AFLSwansPower

More finals heartache beckons for Taylor Adams. Hard to see how he gets into the Swans GF team. Only decision they need to make is whether they trust Callum Mills over Robbie Fox. Unless their skipper pings his hammy at training, they probably do. #AFLSwansPower

Only fitting Gerard Whateley called Gryan Miers' Lionel Messi-like cross for Ollie Henry's goal. #AFLCatsLions

This passage of play would have gone down in finals folklore if it produced the winner. Callum Ah Chee’s and Cam Rayner’s goals were worthy winners as well. Here’s hoping for a GF out of the top drawer as well.

Harry Petty 3 votes against Geelong for 13 possessions, 1 goals. 🤔 #Brownlow

Patrick Cripps v Essendon: 19 possessions, no goals, 2 votes. 🤔#Brownlow

Gamble responsibly. #Brownlow

Tradition is for previous year’s Brownlow medallist to present the medal to this year’s winner. His great mate Lachie Neale not able to present to Patrick Cripps so a nice touch his coach, also a previous winner, Michael Voss does the honour. #Brownlow

To get an idea how things have changed, Greg Williams and Robert DiPierdomenico won the 1986 Brownlow Medal with 17 votes in a 22-game season. Eighteen players polled more votes this year. #Brownlow

Devastating for Callum Mills. Reading between the lines the last few days, this was the most likely outcome. Injuries are the worst part of grand final week.

For those too young to remember Fitzroy, this was how they farewelled their loyal fans in their final game in Melbourne. Malcolm Blight excellent in commentary. 28 years on, still hard to fathom how heartless AFL were to make them play final game in Perth. youtu.be/zXsZrT9lDHE

Great to see the Sydney and Brisbane faithful in Melbourne for the GF. Plenty of old South and Fitzroy fans here as well. #AFLGF

Enjoyed speaking to a few Fitzroy greats and old supporters about their relationship with the Brisbane Lions. Some were early converts, others took their time. Not all got on board. #AFLGF theage.com.au/sport/afl/how-…

Confirmation from the AFL that the winning captain tomorrow will receive a premiership medallion AND the newly minted Ron Barassi Medal. If the Swans win, I can easily see Dane Rampe giving the Barassi to Callum Mills. #AFLGF
