Brisbane's reign is over

[julzqld]

I would say congratulations to Port if I hadn't heard Treadea's "stick that up your a***" - and Chocco's carrying on.  Humility in winning and defeat goes a long way.

Well I won't see my dad for a while. He's a happy boy  .

The Lions payed for taking injured players into the game against a classy running side unlike last year when they did the same thing against the average Pie plodders. Port have great foot skills, pace and run. Brisbane were brave but were spent of energy half way through the 3rd quarter. Very rare you see Voss, Black, Brown and Lynch have poor games all at the same time.

I actually though Williams behavour was a disgrace.
His actions will incite something in the future, lets see what happens when they lose a few games next year, watch out mark

[RachelVilification]

Good on him

Should be able to act how u want when u win a grand final,so long as u dont abuse anyone.

Good to see desperation in celebration.

[froars]

His day will come - but winners are grinners!
And if you wanna see disgraceful behaviour - come and check me out if the Tiges ever win another lol

I have always believed it is harder to be gracious or humble in victory than in defeat. We have it drummed into us at a young age that we must be gracious when we lose but not when we win. I know some people fail miserably at both but ....

I only caught glimpse of the GF but I saw the presentation - did Warren Tredrea thank the people who made the trip - the fans?

If people want lesson in how to be gracious and humble in victory and or defeat have a listen to Andre Agassi - that's class.

If you want to hear a footballer do it really well - listen to Voss' speeches of the last 4 years - excellent

Yes I agree WP - a true sportsman is one who shows humility - Pat Rafter was like that also.

And the Grand Final pre-game entertainment -    When they had the retired players, you barely got a glimpse of Duncan and didn't see Rogers at all.  Thought the whole pregame was a bit of a bore.  Now if Hugh Jackman had been able to sing the National Anthem it would have been all worthwhile   Kath & Kim and the gay footballing dancers didn't do it for me.  And the guy who sang "the impossible dream" - was that an omen for the Lions?  One area the NRL does pretty well at is the pregame entertainment.  I remember one year, the AFL had some poor indigenous opera singer who was out of key and time and the next week the NRL had Tina Turner singing "Simply the Best".  Of course, the best one was when they had Billy Idol make a grand entrance on a hovercraft type of machine and as soon as he bounced on stage, the power went and by the time they got it going again it was too late for poor Billy to sing

Sorry to repeat myself - everyone got the point I'm sure.

Pat Rafter was a dud who had a good run.

When he stopped to analyse himself as a player he schit himself.

LMAOOOOOO@Arsing 2 US opens.

LMAOOOO@Shaving his head and body  cos he sweats too much.

And the Grand Final pre-game entertainment -    

Say that again Julz. Looked like Demetriou missed going to the Opera last weekend and so he brought the Opera to the footy lol.

It's amazing how every year the pre-game "entertainment is a shocker yet once again they roll out the stiff as a board kiddies in a mass choir and singers hardly anyone knows. The chitter-chatter of the crowd showed they were bored stiff. It wasn't until Kath and Kim came on that they took notice of what was going on.

btw you can't knock a loyal Tiger supporter like Kath  . Kim's definitely a Collingwood supporter  .

ROOOOLIN JohnF.

I'm shocked that we would share a mutual hatred for someone.
