“You’ve got to laugh, don’t you,” Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan said, after his side had prevailed – eventually, and in bizarre circumstances – against Melbourne.
And he wasn’t just talking about the result, after his side held on by 11 points after a 38-minute delay in the final quarter caused by a power outage.
The Demons’ night was also cruelled by the early loss of captain Max Gawn. “Clearly there’s an emotional toll when you lose your skipper that early in a game,” Goodwin said. “We’ll just have to wait and see on that. “I thought we played so well for three and a half quarters,” he said. “That little break, there’s nothing to lose for the team that’s behind in that situation, so psychologically, that was an advantage for them, and they did it well.”“But I don’t want to sit here all night talking about that because there’s a lot to like about what we did tonight, especially after last week, starting with the clearance numbers and contested possession numbers.
