    I thought Richmond were all over us for the first quarter and a bit, and we did incredibly well to be in the game. We kick behinds instead of goals and that gme is different after quarter time. To then turn the pressure back on Richmond was huge, and it really should have been over at 3/4 time.

    The last quarter was a tense shitfight where the loons defence was huge. I swore at the TV. A lot.

    For those players to have it proven they can match Richmond's game will be massive.

    Of course, we have to get past west coast or Geelong before it's even an issue.

    I think the media made too much of Richmond’s winning streak , Most of that Time Brisbane were garbage , but I guess they are always looking for a story .It’s only been 3 since Brisbane were good , it was only a matter of time before they beat us ,

    Thought we were significantly weaker without lynch and soldo , two strong marking players . Not an excuse but just a reality where we struggled .Brisbane clearly better in the air on the day . And gave away too many frees plus 4 50s , you can’t do that against a quality side in a final and Expect to win . Brisbane capitalised , that’s football .

    History shows the two side that qualify first go through most often , I think Brisbane and port now are in the box seat now.

    Our midfielders forced a lot of Richmond's entries to be bombs, so a couple of decent marking players definitely would have made a difference.

    Thought Bolton was nearly the most dangerous player on the park and I panicked whenever he got near it

    Yeah also lynchs presence would cause Andrews to be More accountable And Be forced to stick to him like gluE like the last game , And not intercept as much ,

    But thems the breaks , Brisbane played well and deserved their win ,

    I’m not taking the loss bad , we have had our recent success And up around the top 4 is still A bloody nice Place to be compared to the Pain from years gone by

    Big 3rd quarter. Great to see us using that centre clearance to good effect. But we’ve been here before and I’ve seen us drop off in the 4th.

    That was a helluva comeback. Not much of a St Kilda fan (although I did always like bars like the Elephant & Wheelbarrow and The Saint) but I dislike the Dogs more so am happy with this. Plus they took our finals spot. The Dees would of course have won this game 🙂

    Boilover. Collingwood go to Perth and beat the Weagles by a point. Not many saw that coming.

    It’s pretty unbearable from the Pies fans last night and today.

    Eagles haven’t been great this year at all, but still a very good win for an inconsistent Pies team.

    Your mob need to send Brad Scott packing back to Geelong. It would be unbearable if Geelong make the GF.

    I didn’t see the game but cox has to be the most hot and cold player in the league

    When he is on , he is unstoppable, 20 feet tall , marking everything, kicking straight ,

    then he is invisible for The best part of A season before pulling out a massive game out of his arse again .

    We copped the best of him in that prelim in 18 , we simply had no answer , did a similar job on west coast last week
