What is the opening banter and proposed name for this preliminary final?
Whiteley on SEN. The Monday means test with Adam Simpson who was on the call on S E N for Saturday's game. Semo,
hello. Good morning, Jared. Um, what do we say? Like, what hasn't it's already been said, uh a lot of it about in terms of the game itself, but um It needs a name. So Simo says we've got to give this a name. I think so. I I think um I it's I was thinking September shootout, um the boys at the back Cruelly said the impy implosion. Um but I I in five years time, I think we need to go back and say, oh what about the shootout. It's like the miracle on on grass. It needs this needs a special name. So why don't the listeners, if they got any idea what we could call this and in five years' time, you could be part of history by owning the name. Because I'm not quite sure uh the impy implosion needs to be said or the uh
The September shootout, but it it just had so much more than that, didn't it, in terms of the scoring um and the classic nature of the game and th the one that will be remembered. I I don't watch replays. I watch them live and then I'm done. I don't need to watch them again. But that was the one game I think in other than maybe the two thousand eighteen grand final. That I actually I I and yesterday well not a heap on, I was like, I I wanna watch that again. So um unbelievable. I think a lot of the moments we've been sp speaking about, I'm gonna dig a bit deeper in some of the strategy behind the game, uh if there was any.
Name for Simo. Zero four double three ninety eight eleven sixteen. The forty wings temper text. The difference is temper. What is the snappy name that we associate with this prelim? So the big issue for Oldham construction lawyers, your defense in building disputes. Just revel in the greatness of it.
Yeah. Yeah, well when games are high scoring and it just the day was the day too, wasn't it? Twenty-five degrees, no breeze. Um five o'clock was a good start. It was a really good start. So the twilight nature of it all, I'm not saying that's what the grand final should be, but just the the build up was there. You can sense it was going to be a a good game, just with the conditions more than anything. And then I mean the coaching's the coaching, but y y the talent just took over in the end. And both forward lines were so efficient, in particular the last quarter. Just went in I they scored seventy percent of the time, Hawthorne, in that last quarter. And we'll get into that a little bit later. But the there was the occasion, there was the what's on the line, and then there was the performance the players put on the show, Jared.
And the freedom within a disciplined nature of a style of play, wasn't stifled, was it? It wasn't like uh let's shut this down. It was like we're gonna have to take this on to win. And uh credit to both coaches and and in particular the players who all um for the most part, you say ninety percent of the players stood up on the big stage. Um and what was the classic?
So what did you think before we get to the singular incidents, just the flow of the last quarter, twenty-eight points down, yeah, and right on the brink, and then momentum shifts so suddenly that b it becomes inevitable that Hawthorne is going to hit the front from a long way out. Yes. And then how Brisbane res reasserted themselves after falling behind in that environment. And then the lead changed and the lead changed and the lead changed.
Yeah. Well uh it the the makeup of the the Brisbane coaching staff is really interesting 'cause Chris Fagan's on the bench, right? So he's the calming influence. He's probably saying, What's going on up there? What what do we what do we need to do? And Danny Daly, no and this is no disrespect to Fags because you gotta know what you know. And if and if if um Fags wanted to be more in depth with the strategy, he'd go up into the box. So obviously the chemistry between those two and the rest of the coaches is Yeah. And c uh they're they're on the back foot the last quarter. Hawthorne get the center bounces right, you know, it's 'cause they and we'll talk about them in a minute.
