Good morning, we're playing in with the Jonas brothers today. Memories of Friday at the G. That was Gavin from Aubrey's idea. Put us in the mood for our Monday snap judgments. What do you feel most passionately from the weekend of sport that simply has to be given voice? And there's so much to choose from. The NAB open line is 1-300-736-736. Nab, your partner for first homes and second stories. And the 40 Winks temper text is 043 981116. The difference is temper. The events of the AFL semifinals, the Ended a five-year pattern of straight sets, exits, and propels us toward two stacked preliminary finals. Brisbane and Fremantle is again the favored way for that one day in September. Zach Butter's choice to join the Western Bulldogs in a free agency decision to tilt the tectonic plates of the competition.
The EPL had a fail with its VAR overnight in the Manchester Derby. They just admitted an error of judgment, rather than pretending everything was hunky dory, like we do with the arc. She's the alibi was brilliant winning the Macabi Dever at Flemington. But she won't run in the cock's plate. The good horses no longer contest the great races because the money laden pop-ups and racing is the poorer for it. And the glow that remains in this town after this stupendous staging of Friday's NFL game. Cast your snap judgments now. Mine? It was well predicted there would be a response from the beaten qualifying finalists. The ferocity of the Brisbane Lions opening on Saturday night sent a tremor through the force.
When they are interested, the Lions are the best team in the competition. The searingly accurate assessment of Phil Davis earlier in the season. The pointed blade between the shoulders of a knockout final that suits the Lions at this stage of their reign. The loss to Sydney confounded and clearly angered Chris Fagan. He rode the team hard during the week, and he elicited a fearsome response. There aren't many finals that are legitimately over after seven minutes. The semifinal against Adelaide was one. Fierce, aggressive, rampaging. Brisbane had five goals when Adelaide had four kicks. Five goals to four kicks. Those who had endured the disapproval from the coach. That can't abide picking and choosing were out to make amends, and the Crows never stood a chance.
Amends was the theme for Brisbane as it had been for Fremantle, and both saw to the task
well. In the first game we had a week off and there's just so much hype and talk around, you know, it's things like uh home prelims and those sorts of things. It's so easy for players to just put the cart before the horse and just felt this week it was yeah, it felt more like a normal week and um Yeah, we set him up with some really clear focuses and didn't ask him to do anything that we hadn't done all year and yeah, I I think you can you could a s you could see that from the very start that they're out to making amends and um yeah, clearly we played uh yeah, much better brand of footy, but more it looked more like us clearly from the start.
It was an extraordinary start. Dan and I were just talking as we walked o over 'cause I'm on I'm on the headset to him up in the box. They'll never say anything for the first five minutes, so I'm just standing there with my mouth open and going This is unbelievable. But uh yeah it was a There was a very prompt w response to a disappointing game last year and I uh last week. Um and I but I will say it's at the start, Sydney played exceptionally well, but we didn't we didn't give a yelp last week and we needed to make a statement and I thought we did tonight. Making amends.
So for whatever remains of this Lions' historic quest for three premierships, it'll be staged at the MCG, beginning with this mouthwatering clash against Hawthorne, an opponent they made a mess of last month.
