Whateley & King DISSECT the prelims & preview a TIGHT Brownlow race - SEN

[@Robrulz666icloud]

Wheatley is absolutely shattered underneath 🤣🤣 Congratulations to both the Swans and the Lions 🏆

[@lauchlan123]

As a Geelong supporter, I can't praise Brisbane's game highly enough. Every time they had the ball they looked dangerous, especially when they cut the angles through corridor and lowered the eyes when they entered the 50. No expectations for this Geelong team at the start of the year, and proud of how far they got - with a pretty good coach able to reinvent the wheel. Well done to Brisbane, I really hope you play the same way on Saturday because that is going to be hard to beat.

[@liambenson3872]

How'd Brisbane get it done? It was hilarious listening to Kingy dance around the fact that Fagan out coached Scott. I understand his point about Fagan and some of his decisions in big games but please just put your hand up Kingy and admit that after halftime Brisbane and their coaching group changed tactics and the Cats couldn't figure out how to stop them. If the result was switched Scott would get 90% of the credit but because it's the Lions it's always about Brisbane's on the field standing up.

[@joshuasadler9243]

That's the media for you. They use these same tactics for Almost everything

[@sooooober]

Saints will win a flag before Kingy puts his hand up

[@deanbeissel2807]

He did that on first crack!!

[@Sco77ie_Boi]

Hmm Geelong lost the game in the last 2 mins … hardly out coach .. that’s just the media narrative

[@keithgillan2877]

Geelong lost cos Holmes got injured. To be fair that was balanced by Lions losing their ruck but ultimately should have been put away by the cats early.

[@brizliongooner3086]

Also the best tackle of the night, Jack Payne tackling a fresh Mitch Duncan. That was the Goal Saver of the night!

[@mrmarketpartner]

There was two amazing tackles that were potential match winners. As you said Payne’s was a crack and so was Tom Steward’s. Lions got it done but those two tackles were/could have been match defining.

[@QuynhNguyen-zw8uv]

Swans literally dismantled PA. The amount of uncontested marks was crazy considering they only played each other a few weeks back. Port just looked tired. But no surprise Kingy didn’t give the swans their due. Anyway it’s another non vic grand final and we’re all here for it.

[@imalwaysright]

did they even talk about Swans, other than the dilemma for Mills and Adams

I agree. No one wants to see one club appear in 13 of the last 18 Preliminary Finals. NO ONE!

[@imalwaysright]

Gerard is so protective of Hinkley why? Because he played for Geelong? Because he’s their source for leaks? I’ve noticed it all year.

[@joshuasadler9243]

Media in generál have protected Hinkley for years. Now they even consistently gaslight port supporters and I hate port and their supporters

[@89joshuadavies]

All footy media outside of the triple M fratpack hate the ken bashing. Easily the weakest list in the prelims and forced to adjust on the fly.

[@kangalotto]

Yes Kingy! Bring up the fraser brown tackle! Won you a flag!!

[@daffyduck2222-e5j]

A lot of Ports “clearances” were dodgy free kicks.

[@robertsertori5559]

Well done Gerald, unfortunately you didn't see high 30's and even 40's but your count was right. Marcus missed a few but the others spot on.

[@jackwhite5926]

Gerard probably still has Carlton as his No. 1 Seed 😂

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

Incredible to see how much King has backed off his attacks on Fagan…the footy world told him to pull his head in and leave one of the genuine nice guys in the game alone…sad that it took historic emotional performances to make it happen but also awesome to see Fagan’s ultra-personal approach vindicated

[@FastSunglasses]

What has he been given? A young midfield and terrible forward and backlines?

[@billyhoyle2780]

He’s been given everything, like BZT, Esava and Jordan Sweet, yeah, you really know your stuff 🤡

[@cmadelaide56]

A parallel between Sydney in 2022 and Port in 2024: each of them peaked the week prior, snuck across the line despite a big opposition comeback, and got belted the following week by the clear form team of the season.

Jordan sweet has dominated most rucks. Certainly not a B grader.

[@andrewwattie7144]

The Stewart tackle is nice but bailey has been tackled like that 40 times this year. The fact he but 1 amazed me, I thought he was gone straight away. Jack Paynes was as big and no one is making much of that because his name isn't Stewart.

These same types were saying Port would beat us in the prelim because of that 112-point margin late in the season and the head-to-head record

[@rhettdeuble2534]

David King, great watcher and analyser of the game. But do you think there is any chance that the reason those plays came off was because the coach stuck with those players and a system that they had developed over several years rather than moving a forward pocket to a forward flank? Do you think that maybe the players took the corridor on because they felt they had their coach's support to take the game on, do you think that if one umpiring decision had have gone their way that they could already have had a premiership? David King most of what you mention in this analysis is only happening because of what the coach has decided/encouraged/ developed/fostered/supported mid week/season/YEARS. 5 points away from back to back premierships? Come on, be a man and own up to you verbal diarrhoea. In the moment coaching matters but no where near as much as building a club...... and that's why you sit on the fence and TALK about the game we love rather than influence it.
