Okay, everyone, join us now. We're gonna relive the grand final. We're gonna get your thoughts, your memories, your highlights, your lowlights, your best players, your Norm Smith metal dramas. This is the Brisbane uh three peat with four minutes twenty on the clock. They're seventeen points down. We know the story. It is, I don't think I can't remember anything like it in terms of the in the context of a season on the line. It is as dramatic as it's ever gonna get. You now got Chris Fagan's. legacy whether he's going to be there or not. You've got the Norm Smith voting controversy. You got Dunkley, you've got Logan Morris, you've got Ashcroft, you've got it is just goes on and on and on. Where do you want to start whispers?

Garry 0:49

You've got the Fremantle Footy Club who I thought were just magnificent. I thought they were brilliant all day, Fremantle. I thought they were fantastic.

Garry Lyon 0:57

Well, they were for a large percentage of the day. You can't say they were brilliant all day because they were magnificent. No, they stuffed up the last four minutes and eighteen seconds of the game, so you can't really say that they were brilliant all day. Well they were magnificent.

What mistakes did Fremantle make in the final minutes of the grand final?

Garry 1:08

No, they were they were great. They were great in the contest.

Garry Lyon 1:14

Right, I know, but if they go back and they look at that last four minutes and eighteen seconds, they'll learn a lot about themselves. It just there are t I'll give you one example, okay? That last break from the center when uh Bolton ran out of the center. We

Garry 1:28

had their ruck work. Yeah, just can we just

Garry Lyon 1:31

Garry 1:31

that.

Garry Lyon 1:32

That Luke Jackson tap was that was a beautiful tap and and and he was very good. They kick the ball deep into their forward line, right? Goes into that forward pocket. Yep. And then Josh Tracy, rather than bodying the ball, he does like a sweeping arm out to the side. Lester does the right thing. He bodies the ball. He gains possession. He kicks it down to the flank where Lockie Neal courageously goes back. Back with the flight of the ball. It is double fisted by Warner and the ball you probably haven't coming back out. Maybe you didn't coming back out of the

Garry 2:04

field.

Garry Lyon 2:05

Coming back out of defense. So Leicester kicks it down. It's a double fister. So it's a real bang with his two hands. And then Connor McKenna, he doesn't grab hold of this ball, but he has great reflexes. So he actually pats the ball with his hands. It goes back down. It stays in the immediate area, which is exactly what they had to do. It was the only way that they were going to be able to hold on, perhaps, and win the game. And then it's picked up by Lockie Neal, who does the That sweeping handball on his left as he's falling to the ground, and then they get the ball up the center round. So in terms of, you know, the things that they can do better, and this is why they weren't magnificent for the game, and this is why they didn't win, what was Josh Tracy doing, not botting the ball at that stage of the game?

Garry Lyon 2:47

Why did he and why in it and I'm sure you have a nightmare about this, the fact that he tried to just grab it and not run through Hold us ball us and try and collect the player and the ball. Like the there are the there are the learning things. I know this is harsh, Gary, but this is what it gets down to. Playing those moments. And I'll give you another moment too. Zach Bailey probably kicked the best goal of the last quarter. The way that he attacked the ball compared to the way that Caleb Sarong did in that situation, to me, meant that he wanted to win the ball more than Caleb Sarong.

Which Brisbane players and moments sparked the late comeback?

Garry Lyon 3:19

Now that's hard. on Caleb Sarong, but that's what happens in these raw moments in a grand final when it goes down to the wire like it did.

Garry 3:26

Yeah, the so so much had to go right after the Voss goal. The pickup of Charlie Cameron for me was just about the most defining part of it all. So Charlie Cameron picks it up as clean as a whistle, gets slapped around the chops, momentarily thinks, Should I go down and get a free kick?
