It wasnt an advantage at the start, a mark was called. Cant have advantage off a mark. Whether the mark should have been paid is another question, but it was unlucky for them as it turned out.
High hit on Blakey there and Lions capitalise.
Brisbane finding their groove.
Ah Chee and McCluggage having stomers so far. Big Joe’s shooting boots are OFF.
Unreal use of the wind by Rowbottom. Brisbane switched off there.
Swans 19 Lions 21. 01:54 left Q1.
Brisbane the much better this quarter, yet only 2 in it. Missing 3 set shots and a few other chances of marks around the 50. Sydney having fuck all of it, but hanging in and taking their few chances better
Heeney hasn’t gpt started at all. Need more in the second quarter.
A beauty by Charlie from Big Joe’s pocket with seven seconds left in the quarter.
South Melbourne 19 Fitzroy 27 at quarter time in classic Grand Final conditions.
Lohmann again. Three goals now. He’s fearless. Brisbane on fire. Lachie Neale made that.
Umpires keeping Sydney in it. A goal on a plate with a harsh 50 against Zorko.
Hon Big Joe! Beautiful pass by Cameron to set him up. Brisbane needed that one to assert their dominance as the behinds were beginning to rack up. 26-43.
Big Joe clears it straight from the centre bounce after his goal to Callum Ah Chee and Ah Chee curls it in against the prevailing wind.
26-49, this game is already at a tipping point.
Brisbane finally making it count now.
Brisbane have a look of destiny about them like Collingwood in the second quarter in 1990.
Hipwood! Bloody hell
Hipwood!!! Against GWS he couldn’t score from 15 straight in front. Now he’s hitting a reverse banana from the Daicos pocket like Chippy Brady!
A battering here now. Lions up by 46. Its not the premiership quarter, but it may as well have been
46 points the margin now inside the last minute of the first half. Josh Dunkley is doing a Lee Keegan on Ciaran Kilkenny job on Isaac Heeney.
44 points the record half time comeback in a Grand Final when Carlton came back against Collingwood in the legendary 1970 Grand Final.
Lions ROOOOAAAARRRR and here comes Katy Perry.
Unless Sydney can pull off the mother off all Grand Final comebacks this will be their fourth defeat in a row on the big day.
A case of the Swannywobbles.
Starcevich has been absolutely immense at the back for Brisbane.
