Brisbane's turnaround, 'selfish' Cat called out, Sydney's dilemma & could Ken walk? - Footy Furnace

[@Hoctorde12]

Jimmy bartel has awesome footy insight and is very well spoken. We loved your career as a player Jimmy. :)

[@Tosicc567]

that stengle vision leaving his man 20 meters of room in the centre whilst they've been getting absolutely hammered through the middle of the ground would make me delist him lmao Idc how well he played in the regular season, you cannot leave your player 20 meters of room walking with your hands on your head in a damn prelim

[@duzhidoes1111]

He played that game like he had a bet on the lions, had high hopes for him to carry, really disappointing

[@camb6017]

Stengle is one of the most overrated players in the comp

[@Sbock86]

Bartel is a good pundit. Great footage of Stengle.

[@magpie7154]

Tom Morris - Ports performance was probably left a little bit lacking a little bit on the field - lucky to have experts like him to give us these pearls of wisdom.

[@Mat-xe8pt]

I like to call him the guru

[@Robrulz666icloud]

He’s a grub!!!

[@Robrulz666icloud]

The same bloke who said when the lions were struggling that there was tension between Fagan and the lions players 🤷🏻‍♂️ Great insight 🤣🤣

[@ScottCovers]

Mate come on, you're cherry-picking here. He was introing the discussion about Port and you want what, a blistering nugget of analysis before saying what happened? He's doing a pretty damn good job setting up and throwing questions to the former players/coach to get their insights whilst keeping the audience up to date and not missing a beat the entire time. If you think you could do better then go start your TV journo career.

[@williameldridge2015]

Bro was very disrespectful towards Matthews' opinion on Longmire's coaching success as well. It's lucky Leigh didn't give him a clip haha

[@SuspectAccount]

Anyone ranking Port on playing list would have to have them below the Dogs, GWS, Swans, Brisbane, Geelong and possibly a fully fit Carlton. Hawks likely above them next year with some additions to their KPDs.... Ken's done quite well, if I were him I'd take a contract at the Eagles now as it's likely available and will give him 3 years instead of inevitable sacking next year. Mad if he doesn't

Glad to see Sydney Swans win the Prelim, never wanted Port Adelaide to win because of the what Ken Hinkley did at the end of the Semi Final, he acted like a school yard bully at the primary school level, he showed no respect towards Luke Bruest celebrating his 300th game.

[@ras-chd]

Especially on their performance in the Qualifying Final

[@davidagiel8130]

Ports GF was beating the Hawks. Its like they checked out, Ken secured his job win or loss against Sydney. Port's problem is they had no target up forward, they never kicked to a lead, they just bombed it high and long, but Charles and Savo were not up to winning the contested footy in the air.

[@kimharris2599]

Honestly who ever won this game the G.F. was there's. Great game of footy. Classic👍

[@kimharris2599]

Will be a game always remembered in footy folk law. Up there with the best.

[@Elongatedmusky]

Hopeless effort from Stengle not to mention that shot he missed from 10 metres out. So many goals went begging. Frustrating watch

[@RobKieranz]

Bit of a worry we have him for 5 more years. We should have only offered 3 and let him walk if he wanted more. Irresponsible list management in my view for a player with a history of serious disciplinary issues. Despite his talent, you don't offer players like this 5 years on big coin. Just too risky.

Surely it makes more sense to have a week off between the prelim and the GF? Why are we rewarding teams that finish 5-8? Or if stays then why isn't the brownlow on in that week between Rd23 and week 1 of finals?

[@davidagiel8130]

Good to see another non Victorian affair. Shows why the GF shouldn't always be in Melbourne. While we are at it I think we have too many Melbourne teams in AFL. One should move to Darwin.

[@Hunty49]

North Melbourne should have moved to Tasmania to be the Tasmanian team. The fringe Melbourne teams should move to expand the game.

[@AlbieAughtie]

Why the hell would you want the GF in any other ground. The G holds 100,000 and the competing clubs only get about 17,000 tickets each for members. The rest of the place is filled with corporates. If you hold it anywhere else you're next to no chance of attending. And forget Melbourne clubs moving. In the next 10-20 years all the clubs will be debt free or close enough to and housed in state-of-the-art headquarters. Darwin couldn't have a team. It's not viable.

[@petefumberger5225]

And, how did Rampe not get at least one game for that elbow to the moosh of that Giants player?

Helped get his team to the GF, which they won in a canter. Maybe he, inlike you apparently, doesn't just think of himself?

Max Holmes 20 minutes was too long, the Cats basically were a key 🔑 player down. The call 📞 should have been made sooner, great game of football by both teams 👏

[@ajaxcatch]

Ken and Port still partying over their St kilda win. That will be remembered as the 2024 Port Grand Final at alberton. Why worry about beating a top 4 team when you can have a GF dance and clown parade beating the bottom 4. Don't let the real job get in the way of any good party. Lol Has anyone advised Kane Cornes He forgot to add Port when he said Carlton is just making up the numbers.Hopefully a run will be better than any walk. Has the pre season started yet on kicking skills at Port yet at 6 am or same inaccuracy and attitude next yr????interview Port skills coach see how they got that component so wrong in 2024???

[@samysull333]

leigh’s lost the plot. brisbane won because they should’ve already been a top 4 team and they were better on the night. yes it did give them an edge having played tougher games when geelong played easy game, didn’t play, easy game, didn’t play. to suggest however that it’s easier to win a prelim as a 5-8 team rather than a 1-4 team is frankly idiotic. there’s other context that affects it.
