So joyful. this team has just filled me with joy. A truly extraordinary GF which has been the culmination of an extraordinary season...The emotion of Mason Cox in his after match interview summed it up for me...So much joy, and we will remember it forever.
A team that willed itself to win, and believed it could. On its shoulders, we just went for the ride of a lifetime, daring to believe in the dream.
This has filled the next few months for me with happiness.
My thanks to all those posters on Nicks who have provided so much balanced, unbalanced, reasonable, unreasonable, humourous, deadly serious, thoughtful, thoughtless commentary throughout the year, which in the final analysis sustains your hope, and ensures that you always know that you are not the only one suffering a massive roller coaster of emotion just over a code of sport.

Another thing.It’s damn good to finally win a close grand final.We’ve had so many heartbreaking losses over the decades,it feels so good to finally win a close one ourselves.I wonder when was the last time we won a grand final by less than a goal?It certainly hasn’t happened in my life time. |
This is our narrowest GF win since the early 1900s, I believe. |
Really?That’s amazing.I thought it must have been a long time,but not quite that long. |

It's true
2010 = 56 points vs St Kilda (replay, after we initially drawing)
1990 = 48 points vs Essendon
1917 = 35 points vs Fitzroy
1902 = 33 points vs Essendon
1928 = 33 points vs Richmond
1930 = 30 points vs Geelong
1929 = 29 points vs Richmond
1919 = 25 points vs Richmond
1935 = 20 points vs South Melbourne
1958 = 18 points vs Melbourne
1910 = 14 points vs Carlton
1927 = 12 points vs Richmond
1953 = 12 points vs Geelong
1936 = 11 points vs South Melbourne
2023 = 4 points vs Brisbane Lions
1903 = 2 points vs Fitzroy _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Another record to be noted:
Pendles and Sidey have just become the two players with the largest time gap between their first and second Premiership medallion.
It used to be 12 years (Doug Wade, and another player from Adelaide whose name escapes me)
Now it is 13 years, and belongs to Steele and Pendles. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

I hope we can win another next year -it is far from impossible - with him in it. |
I think that's part of the reason we won it, being able to drop fringe players even if they do play every game. |
Well, given where it landed, you can only assume it was the right decision. But Noble has been such a heart and soul player, and he’s one of us - so it’s still wrenching to see him miss out on the thing they all play for. |
Gotta say, Markov had a lotta GF mistakes that coulda been very costly. The 50m penalty. The last free kick to Lachie that's got all the attention for the (not-)advantage call.

Seem to be irrelevant now
But kind of does anyone know the wash up |
Y'know ya could visit the injury thread...

120, innit? Not that any of us is 120 or 121 years old...
But Baz's old man came close.

I'm still a teeny weeny bit jealous of Fitzroy though. (For the greatest come-from-behind flag ever. Will never be repeated.) |

Realistically Noble is a good depth player, but a premiership side he probably shouldn't be playing. Frampton is another, but he got in solely on positional depth.
... |
But same claim could be made of Markov.
And Sydney had Canadian rugby player Pike in their flag side. |

After rewatching the first half, I don’t see a problem with the advantage call, thelionsplayedon from every one of their free kicks unless shooting for goal. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Oh my god. Just re-surfacing. Still can't believe it. Am only watching replay now for first time. AIA centre, beers, bubbles, cocktails today. I'm tired but drunk happy. Will read all the fantastic Nick's analysis later. GO PIES - you were unbelievable. So Proud. Love our boys ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

But I think that our forgotten hero today was Oliver Henry. If it wasn't for him leaving, we probably wouldn't have snaffled little Tommy Mitchell - 24 stats, 10 contested, 7 clearances but just the lazy 13 tackles. Should try harder next time, Tommy.
... |
But looking ahead we really do need more forwards.
Got saved by our star midfield (7 goals). Can't expect that every game. (And 12 goals total ain't much. Though GFs are often low scoring.)

sincerest condolences to all those who've lost someone this week. life can be tough sometimes but we've all got the Pies and their Premiership in 2023.
hope you're all enjoying the Premiership glow. At the family day at Olympic park today it looked and sounded like the players had a well earned hard night. So great to see the players with their medals. great to see so many people putting the Pies Premiership merchandise to good use!!!
Have watched parts and heard parts of the replay but haven't seen the full thing yet. Will watch that man times when I get the chance. Watching the kayo mini now. After all the AFL umpire shenanigans this year, I don't think there were any score reviews yesterday. Such a better game with strong decision making and no uncertainty.
So many moments. Bobby Hill's speccy. Naicos hands. Big Tall Marks in the second half. Pendles stopped time in the 3rd, surely how did he find that space to kick that goal. So many goals from the 50m line. De Goey, Hill, Crisp, Crisp and Sidebottom!!!
I've watched Sidey's launch 5 times on regular and slow speed. The camera cuts away from the front view and I can only watch the kick from behind. Whilst it looks like he was holding for a torp the camera cuts away as he walks up. From behind in the air in slow motion, it looks to be spinning like a drop punt but wobbling in the air. On the triple M replay they called it a low penetrating kick. The called for a barrel before the kick but didn't say it after. I so wanted it to be a torpedo but it doesn't matter, it was such a great goal!!! _________________ Premiership Pies made it legendary in 2023, don’t let them forget it. #Go PIES 2024…. |

Yep I’d like the answer to that too.
Also Nick was knocked over and the ball not near him, no free. They targeted a 20 year old kid! Gutless pricks! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |
