Chapter 2: What was the atmosphere like during the quarter-time huddle with Faggs?
What was that 30-quarter time huddle like with Faggs? What was his messaging going down to you boys?
He first told us it was a shit-ass quarter, so we got a bit of a spray at 30-quarter time.
Sometimes the truth is exactly what's required, Ken Hinckley, both privately and publicly.
Yeah, you don't need to mess with the truth sometimes.
Chapter 3: How did Brisbane dominate the first half of the game?
You just walk in and call it the way it is, and Faggs certainly did that. I think that's, I mean, we just said before, Brisbane still dominated the first half, absolutely dominated like the best team in the comp. But Foggs, I do get an opportunity to talk to Foggs a little bit, so we've got a good relationship. So I know what he's like.
Chapter 4: What potential do players like Cam Rainer have for Brisbane?
When he gets a bit cranky, I reckon he couldn't hide it. I reckon he'd have to tell them up front, hey, boys, that was shit out. Come on.
Chapter 5: How do match winners impact Brisbane's performance?
And you know what? It'd be a bit firmer than just like that. Even though he looks like the cuddly old fella that everyone likes, I reckon he could get a bit ferocious when he needed to.
They've got some players just scratching the surface, I reckon, of their potential at the moment.
Chapter 6: What role does Ryan Lester play in the team's success?
Like, I... I feel like we speak about Cam Rainer at stages every year, and you go, gee, he's probably playing about 40% of his capabilities. And then at some point, he'll put together a three-week stretch where you go, okay, no, our pressure's off, Cam Rainer's back. But you just love to ā will he ever get there? I don't know.
Oh, yes, of course he will. But did you see the second half in the grand final? He never got near it in the first half and then he destroyed it.
Chapter 7: How did Levi's performance change perceptions about him?
That's exactly the ā They're the match winners, mate.
The discussion. You just keep ā you put up with them.
You just cop 12 possessions and a goal.
Yeah, of course you do because big games, they win for you.
Chapter 8: What are the positives for Brisbane moving forward in the season?
All right. Okay.
Well, I think there's some others now. The taggers. The taggers are more reliable. There's no doubt about that, Cain. They get their jobs done week in, week out. But the match winners, which, you know, Rainer is one, and they've got a lot of them at Brisbane. That's the problem. They've got a little bit. They've got so many match winners now who are top-end talent, and I reckon I'll be the one.
I think they're in cruise control. I think they're just going through the season, and give me the last four weeks of the year, and if they're in the right spot, and give me September, and I know what you're going to get. That's what I reckon.
I'd still want to coach him just a fraction. I know you do. Cause you want to coach everyone. For him, for him as much as anything like, yeah, he's going to have the, the, the premierships and all of that, but is he actually going to be the player that he was capable of being? I don't know. And like Fletcher's another one who I thought, do you, Fletcher can be anything.
I thought better than Will Ashcroft, and he's going to end up as an inside mid. Can't get in there at the moment, but he's probably slipped a little bit. Thank goodness for Ryan Lester last night, which is a crazy thing that I'd never thought I would say, Gerard. I'd never, ever thought I would say, thank God for Ryan Lester ever in my life, but I'm saying it this morning. He was unbelievable.
And Bruce Revel. I reckon Revel and... And Leicester were the ones that won them the game, really, in the end with their performance. So some of their Leicester lights are playing hungry and that was good for them last night.
16th season in the league. It's been seven years on a one-year contract. Prior to the premierships, there was a year where he did look done. And then Faggs told the story last night. Luke Hodge had always said to him, hey, Faggs, he's a halfback flanker. And Faggs was playing him everywhere else. And he thought, yeah, he was a halfback flanker all the way through.
You just need to listen to Hodge a little bit more. So, you know, those blokes, they're the blokes that just make your footy club so special. And that's the motivation for Brisbane this year. Like everyone's talking about their motivation. They've got some reasons for that. I mean, Ryan Lester's certainly not one because he's been a part of the premierships, but Link McCarthy is another one.
Kitty Coleman. Kitty Coleman's another one. You know, how good does Draper look up there?
