What headlines did Gerard highlight from the AFL Grand Final?
Monday morning. This is your town. This is your station. This is Waitley. Good morning. A people should know when they are conquered. A champion never does. The defining qualities of Dynasty: heart, courage, and a rage against the dying light. These are the virtues of Chris Fagan's empire. The greatest crusade ever. Snap judgments the Monday after. 1-300-736-736. The Nab Open Line. Nab your partner for first homes and second stories. And the 40 Wings Temper Text, 0433 981116. The difference is temper. We wondered how you could possibly top the grandeur and tumults of that preliminary final. The game found. Is there somewhere in the multiverse where Warfy time didn't get played and Alex Pierce balanced on crutches held up the Premiership Cup?
Do we need to reflect on the Norm Smith voting process? Is it better to have those working the game rather than watching the game sit in judgment? And the grand final is on an all-time high. Kylie was iconic. The game delivered a record average. Audience of 4.5 million viewers, bringing to a climax the momentum of the past couple of months that has left the NRL in the dust. It's been a great season. And so do we get to the snap judgments. Oh, and Cricket Australia has rolled its chairman. I don't know whether we're still good at cricket, but we are very good at politicking. Mike Baird is no more, and I'm told David Boone is in charge.
How did the Cricket Australia chairman change impact the sports week?
As of about twenty-five minutes time. Uh, we'll learn more about that with Crash. Nothing says the change of seasons more than rolling the chairman of Cricket Australia the Monday after the AFL grand final. So do Snap Judgments. Over the generations, the last four minutes and 18 seconds of the 2026 Grand Final will become the most rewatchable sequence in footy history. Just like the best set pieces in Maverick, you'll find yourself flicking past Fox Footy in 30 years' time and pause to be transfixed by the wonder all over again. 258 seconds played out across a 10-minute block. It will begin with Patrick Voss and the chiming of Warfy time. Choreographed as the moment of peak celebration for a downtrodden people, those hell's bells will forever trigger torment and trauma for the Purple people.
Fremantle sprung a trap they had no idea had been loaded. An ambush conjured by the oldest premiership coach in league history. When they Play the music, that's our cue to unleash hell. It was like Hulk Hogan being hit by his own leg drop or Macha Man nailed off the top rope by an elbow. The Lions turned Fremantle's finisher back on them dramatically, ruthlessly, and cruelly. It took 23 seconds for Will Ashkoff to win consecutive clearances and put the ball to the late. Of Charlie Cameron, whose touch was flawless and his snap immaculate. It took another 24 seconds for Will Ashcroft to win the next center clearance. Eric Hipwood to rip the ball from a skirmish, and then the sheer brute force of Zach Bailey, who put his head in the hole, won the purest one-meter test, forged off Caleb Sarong, and blindly snapped the goal.
With three minutes and thirty-one seconds remaining on the clock, Mantle realized it was stranded too far from home. The third goal in the sequence takes two minutes and 27 seconds. It includes another Will Ashkoft center clearance, repeat efforts from Josh Dunkley and Jasper Fletcher. Lockie Neal gets crucial territory with a misfired kick. Humor Cluggage produces the cleanest gather imaginable and launches the ball for Logan Morris in the truest one-on-one marking. Contest of the day. He is clutch by hand and clutch by foot, kicking with absolute authority under the maximum pressure that this one day in September can demand. The Lions hit the front with a minute and four seconds to spare. And that means the game now has to be saved.
having already been one.
Why is the final four minutes of the 2026 Grand Final called the most rewatchable sequence?
Luke Jackson sets Shea Bolton on a clean run out of the middle. Ryan Lester must halve a contest. Harris Andrews and Ty Gallup hold the Dockers at bay long enough for Lester to get the ball away from danger. Carl Warner spoils from a great height rather than marking, and Near works his magic getting the ball from inside to out.
