What does the “Dynasty calls for the Brisbane Lions” segment reveal about their recent success?
The award-winning crunch time.
Uh well we've had our moments during the year and it's really hard. In a competition like this to maintain the high level that we've been able to for the last eight years really. Um so every now and then there needs to be a little bit of a wake-up call as part of the journey. I don't do that very often. Um they're a really good group of of men to coach and you know, who who am I to have a go at them when I've seen what they've d done over the last few years, so it's been more me appealing to their the the better side of their character. character and their their desires as footballers to encourage them to get the best out of themselves and unfortunately, you know, that's pretty much what's happened.
Dynasty calls for the Brisbane Lions. Chris Fagan's man on the cusp of reprising the deeds of the golden generation, three straight flags, and the associated place in history.
Yeah, yeah, I've thought about this moment. um for a number of years and I think when I first went into coaching I always had um a the goal at the back of my mind to lead us to this position and um yeah it it it filled me with yeah great pride to be able to do that but uh Win win or lose tomorrow, it's not the end of the journey. Uh we wanna we wanna a as a football club we wanna create something that Fugs has created where you're contending for in for for a number of years. It's it's not the end of the journey. We've got a we've got a lot of work ahead of us to be able to create a team and a club that competes year in, year out like um these guys have.
How does the “Immortality calls for Fremantle” segment set up the Dockers’ Grand Final story?
Immortality calls for Fremantle. The 32-year journey of the Dockers brings them to the brink of an inaugural premiership and the Purple people have gathered en masse.
Obviously very happy with the appeal board's decision. Looking forward to playing in the grand final now and just want to thank the club, Danny, everyone involved. Yeah, look, I was comfortable where the MRO got when they charged him, comfortable with the tribunal decision, but ultimately that's why we have the three levels where it goes through and it's not a win or a loss from an AFL point of view. The process got followed. Well, I was on Tuesday and I I thought he would play, he's probably taken him
little bit longer than I expected to get to this point and I'll yeah, I understand the rationale behind it. With tribunal or concussion or um even umpiring, I I'm after consistency.
But it is utterly shambolic to arrive at a decision that ultimately could have been arrived at had division been available on day one.
And the week-long drama surrounding Lockie Neal before the modern day champion was free to play in a September tribunal case that has its place among the most contentious. This is the grand final edition of Crunch Time. It's a while since Grand Final Day has dawned. Quite so bleak. The city's shrouded in mists and light rain falling.
What are the key weather concerns for Grand Final day and how might they affect play?
The covers are on inside, not only the square but the run-ups, and I fear the first ball is going to be delayed quite considerably. Grand final day. We're at the Fan Fest outsider in Yarrow Park, ahead of Fremantle and the Brisbane Lions for the 2026 Premiership. Jared Waitley with you for the Ford Everest Triple Stack year. And Azito brushless power tools built to work. Azito do you. Different rhythm to the show today. Cameos are plenty. Danny Daly at his annual interview on his way into the crowd. Chris Sutherland is the president of Fremantle. Gary Lyon, Ellis Del Lynch, Jared Healy, Tim Gossage. There hasn't been a stage that Adam Simpson hasn't been on this week. Premiership player and coach.
Morning Jared. Yeah it's uh great to be here.
Which news stories dominated the AFL season and why are they important for the Grand Final?
There's a a few purple people here this um probably one too many for me. Just uh there's one West Coast supporter. I saw him before, he uh he's gonna fly the flag today. But uh What an exciting day. And enjoy the anxiety is all I can say to the supporters. Enjoy the anxiety. You were my childhood Bad Eagles fan. Yeah.
Brassted Eagle on the Guernsey. Tom Morris, hello to you, Tom. Hello, Jared. Hello, Simo.
