Schaden Fr-Eddie = gaining pleasure from the displeasure of a former Collingwood president.

Ohh, Eddie,
I would give anything,
Just to see you sulk.

I've never really taken much notice of Joe Daniher before but have watched all the Lions games this year. It wasn't hard as he hardly
ever played footy. But you can see how if he can stay healthy and get more match fitness he will really be able to tear a game apart.
That kick from pretty much the wing to Charlie Cameron one meter out was outrageous. Great finish to the game and great reaction
from Fagan.

Nathan Buckley confirmed my long held contention that a team can counter the effects of a dominant ruckman when having time to plan for it. Brisbane were able to win the game against one of the most dominant ruck performance in recent times. Of course, the ruckman is an important part of stoppage play, but it's not the only part and ruck dominance is not the only winning strategy.

“There’s an overemphasis on things in the game and one of the things there is an overemphasis on is hitouts. It’s not a stat that has a strong correlation,” Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley conceded post-game.

“When you know you are going to lose the hitouts, you can actually set-up pretty well at ground level to be able to buffer for that. So that’s what sides without a dominant ruckman do. "

Fagan was a delight. Also in his press conference after the match - as excited as a kid opening his birthday presents.

Yep, footy needs more Chris Fagans and less Match Day Experience operatives.

North just slipped to 100 points behind the Dogs. Almost starting to feel sorry for their fans. Well, the ones that weren't booing Goodesy.

When do we get to play norf?

How lucky is Logan McDonald?

Not till round 22, which should be handy if where battling for a finals spot. But really, anytime within the next five years we should have them covered.

Might have got a bored in the forward 50.

Never seen so many smiles in a press conference!

I really thought it was going to be a game where the Pies were just a little cleaner and more skilled when it mattered, and would be 1-2 goals in front the whole game.

Credit to the Lions though, never gave up, kept moving it back to their goal at every opportunity in the last few minutes and redemption for Bailey. A great win for them and exciting for even for the neutral fan.

These sides are licking their lips at the prospect of a free percentage boost: Adelaide Crows, Essendon, Geelong Cats, Gold Coast Suns and Western Bulldogs. These are the sides who play Norf twice.

Sydney will be the last side to play Norf this year.
