This game has single-handedly made me happy for the next 10 years

If your a brisbane fans I don’t think you will after the semi finals because you know Melbourne deliberately are going lose to swans to smash brisbane lol

[@LeighWHeard]

It almost defies belief that when Daniher kicked the last goal of the game he was alone in the goal square with six Richmond players around him and still somehow managed to bounce the ball through without it being touched. And with the ball being touched off the boot beforehand meaning Richmond couldn't take a defensive mark and end it right there as well. Just incredible.

[@vorlons100]

dumb defenders

[@draganbanic5381]

There is always that one magic moment in every big game,and that was that moment.

[@themaster4775]

People say that. Sure it should've been marked or spoiled. However, what's truly the real thing also is that it was embarrassing that daniher wasn't in that marking contest. If that ball had gone through or Been marked it would've been a disgrace that he sagged off that contest and did nothing

I was there too. no way the greatest game ever. The skills were quiet sloppy. It was a shootout. Generally shootouts are low skill which creates a game with a lot of turnovers with poor poor defending. One thing about tonight tho the goal kicking was impeccable. But defence and system and zoning is what wins flags I think the sentence ur looking for is “most entertaining final In a while”

Amazing L lions. Never gave up always fought back always taking the lead away from Richmond and then winning so closely truly great game and amazing performances from both sides

[@BadgerFromOz]

A whopping seventeen lead changes in one of the most epic Finals matches you'll ever witness. Both of these teams gave it their all at the Woolloongabba (Gabba for short). All square at Quarter Time, Richmond led by six points at Half Time and by five points at Three-Quarter Time and a see-sawing Final Quarter saw both teams taking their respective scores to triple figures. In the end, Joe Daniher eliminated Richmond from the 2022 Finals Series. It started with eight teams looking for a happy ending to their Finals stories. Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions for getting an extra chapter to keep the story going. For the Richmond Tigers though, it's the end. Brisbane will await the loser of the Melbourne versus Sydney Qualifying Final. On Saturday Night, another team's Finals story will have a sad ending. Find out next time on Dragonball Z. I mean the AFL.

[@dnl5890]

Always loved hearing BT and Richo complain about Lynch's shot being inconclusive. The blokes up in the ARC have all the different angles playing concurrently and that's how they determine the flight of the ball. When 3 differing angles have the ball floating over the post at the same time then it's safe to assume it went over the post.

I am a former umpire who did over 300 games as a field boundary and goal umpire . The decision by the video ref was infact the correct decision . It the ball goes through the goal above the posts and any part of the ball goes over the post , then that is registered as a point , because it is ruled as hitting the goal post

[@davidmoffatt6331]

That is obviously the rule. The problem was that the goal umpire who was directly under the ball as it went through nominated it as a goal. It was referred upstairs by the field umpire most probably due to Lynch's reaction. The technology to determine the validity of the goal umpires decision was non existent or indecisive. The rule on referral is if the technology does not definitively show the umpire has made an incorrect call then the umpires call stands.

[@01Grytz]

the umpire was defs in the way for cotchins goal. don't know if it could have been touched but at least give the players a shot mate. lions player had every right to have a word to him

Even though the footage has no depth you can still get a good sense of the ball's trajectory. To me that was never a goal, ball had too much power and not enough curl. Would have been more controvertial if it stayed a goal.

When reviewing a score,why don't they ever watch it at normal speed? They go straight to blurry frame-by-frame backwards and forwards stuff and expect to get the right result. Watching it again as it happened,at normal speed,the kick was clearly a behind and it was easy to see, and Richmond players knew it.

[@GreenOddish]

I agree, I think it's because they rely on frame-by-frame to remove as much guesswork as possible. Anyone that has good spatial reasoning can take into account the camera perspective and the movement of the ball on the screen and conclude it didn't curl in in time. It's just hard to explain objectively.
