What were the opening snap judgments and reactions to the AFL Grand Final?
Let's get into your final snap judgments of the AFL season before the means test with Adam Simpson, an emergency grand final rating session with Shannon Gill, the latest footy news with Tom Morris, and the wisdom and experience of Robert Craddock from Brisbane, the seat of football power once more. We're in the Vanguard studio. When did you last compare your studio? We're on the NAB Open Line here. Nab, your partner for First Homes and Second Story. Pat's in Brisbane. Welcome to you, Pat.
Hey Jared. Hey, how you doing? Um So, uh firstly, hard luck to Frio. Uh it sincerely, I probably do agree with Fags I reckon we might have pinched that one. Um so halv up to them, they're a great side though, they'll be back. But um I just wanted to say a few things, Jared, if if y if I will. Um so I I was I I unfortunately didn't make the game this year, but I was watching uh yeah, family and friends and when we were um seventeen points down seventeen points down when Voski that goal they were all they all the room went silent, everyone dropped their heads, said, Oh, I think that's it and I said I said, No, keep the faith. We know this guy, keep the faith and plus I reckon Logan Morris has a big moment coming 'cause they were saying how quiet he was too.
And then what do you know it, run towards the fire, dance on thin ice, brave heart theme this year apparently. So there you go, you can never ride off a champion side and we prevailed yet again. Three peats, now we can have the discussion. Jared, we can have the discussion about which one was better.
That yes, yes. I felt coming in that The Lee Matthews generation's gonna be regarded as the greater team for its iconic figures. But the road walked here for its degree of difficulty is greater. I I think and and it's not even close. So it's not a question of which is the greatest team. Who walked the harder journey? Chris Fagan's lines walk the harder journey.
How did callers describe the dramatic comeback and the ‘War‑time’ moments?
Good on you, Pat. Brad's in Brisbane. Welcome to you, Brad.
How are you, Jared? Um, I have a little eerie thing about Warfare time I found after the game. There's thirteen bells to Hell's bells. And Fremantle lost the two thousand thirteen grand final. Thirteen years later they lose another grand final and then after on Saturday, you know how many finals they've lost now? Thirteen. So that is uh yeah, unlucky for some and I really found it funny as well that Garlic on Fireball on Friday said, Oh, we don't know about playing Wolfie time unless we're five goals up, we don't want to poke the bear. Well, he poked the bear.
They really did, Brad. They really did. In the multiverse, I wonder what it looks like if it didn't get played. John is in Griffith in New South Wales.
John, welcome. Hi, morning G. I'm actually in Melbourne, mate. Uhhuh. And uh I can't believe what I've just witnessed two weeks in a row, mate. It was Unbelievable. Like against the Hulk game, I thought we were done and dusted. I've brought that one over the line yesterday. Oh, sorry, Saturday. Same thing, seventeen points down, but he thought we were done and dusted and I can't believe it just happened again. It's it's freakish and it's such a pleasure to bury for Brisbane Lives, mate.
It would be, John. I can hear the pride pouring down the phone. Thank you. Dan Zinrai, welcome to you, Dan.
Yeah, good morning, Jared. Um In your fantastic monologue this morning, I think you mentioned the player Will Ashcroft maybe six or seven times. The Norm Smith Medal uh is such a coveted medal and a centrepiece of the day. And I feel it was degraded over the weekend. Now Shay Bolton's a wonderful footballer. But there's no doubt m almost every commentary commentary team across the AFL felt that Will Ashcroft was the rightful winner of the medal on the day. Uh but Chris Judd, Michael Voss, Sean Burgoyne and Andrew McLeod all didn't see it that way and there surely has to be some kind of private inquiry as to see what went on there to because I don't think the rightful one I won the medal.
Yeah, I think that'll be a common view, Dan, uh, and Will Ashcroft with history on his side.
