What were the first impressions of the Hawks vs Lions match?
Cain
and King I haven't rewatched it. Maybe. Um there were a few It's probably not the one I was focused on. The couple led up to it and some key moments in the game. I'm sure the umpires will assess how they performed in that game in key moments. You know, the Mitchell's out out of bounds one and the Zorko free kick, but not for me to say. I'm sure your narrative as a media world will be around their last final decision, but the game goes for a long time.
Game goes for a long time and it was one of the greatest games we've ever seen, if not the greatest. Brisbane Lead sorry, win by nine points to get through to another grand final. Sam Mitchell will join us a little bit later on. Our first thoughts for Cobb Estate, Australia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil. Uh Kingy, you are there as a fan, uh more so than a media performer. What are your first thoughts?
Hugh McCluggage, he's m he's just bulletproof. I mean th those those same he had the same shot probably three times for the night. So he had his eye in. But in that moment to be able to go back and and with just composure and clarity, okay, when saying I maybe should have run a couple more seconds off the off the if you if you say, Look, I'm just gonna kick this. I'm just gonna take care of business, most players you wouldn't be Get a knitting needle into their uh into their date and he's gone bang straight through the middle. And I thought um he just handled himself so well. So that that that that to me and the goal kicking on the night was a was a feature. Great job. Mitch Lewis. I mean he's he's he nailed one from about fifty-five that never looked like missing.
The one from the boundary from about fifty never looked like missing. Um so it it was it was a great Night to see such um skills on s yeah, the skills on show and the conversion on show.
Yeah, just on the uh the the goal scoring. So what they kick they kicked at eleven two from Marks, um, Horthful. They were just so inaccurate. Set shots, they kicked fifteen four. Brisbane kicked fourteen six from set shots. We often speak about inaccuracy in pre league finals costing you, and some of those were from outside fifty, Mitch Lewis, Nick Watson, um, Barry on the run even early on in that what a goal. What a goal that was. I just it was just everything we love about football that game. Like I was just in awe of the skill, the contest, the goal kicking, every aspect of our game that you love, maybe other than some umpiring decisions, is what we what we um love about this game of footy. And I just think the the the the debate and the conjecture around does the game go too long and do we need to shorten the game, all of that j
Just put that to bed. Like the the game is actually fine. And I'm not sure anyone wanted that game other than Jamin Impy shortened to twenty eight or thirty minutes or twenty minutes, whatever they want to do. I think we put that to bed on Saturday afternoon, didn't we?
Quick pop quiz. Quick pop quiz.
Pop quiz, hot shots. Pop quiz hot shots.
Brisbane kicked twenty goals eleven. If we shortened the game, clearly that uh that just slashes the time on period, right? What score out of the twenty goals eleven do you think they kicked in time on? Mm, four goals? Eleven goals four seventy points in time on. Seventy points in time on. It was a I mean it's a big scoring game. Thirty nine goals scored for the game, so there was a lot of time on. Seven I've never seen seventy points in time on.
So we end that debate, don't we, now? That's done. Swannee?
Well
uh
they're taping Swannee this this they're still duct taping Swanny to the to the seat.
We tried to get him on this morning but he's duct taped to the plane seat.
How did Hugh McCluggage’s performance influence the game?
So I I was uh blown away by that number. But for Brisbane to be Brisbane I couldn't I could I had to sort of scratch my eyes and w uh work out what I was reading, but they were they were twenty eight points up, what what was it like four minutes into the last quarter or something, wasn't it? It was r it was crazy. Ten minutes into the last
quarter. That's it.
