Review Round 7, 2024 - GWS vs. Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

I think two bad jokes in the one day is probably too much though...

 

[Pacman82]

A worrying sign of the times, we beat'em by 40pts there a couple seasons back, so it's essentially a 16 goal turn around.

 

[Toffee Lion]

I’m fine with losing if the effort and competitiveness is there. I’m not sure I saw enough of that tonight.

Real soul searching to do for all involved at the club. Not good enough.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Votes for the 3 big backs. Most others were poor to disgraceful

 

[Happy_Neale]

Diabolical second half. Completely out of sync going forward and couldn’t convert when we did get chances. GWS run blew us away as well, could not go with them

 

[BangyBangy]

Am I the only one who got round 8 2001 vibes about this game?

Strap yourselves in everyone. We may be on the cusp of a threepeat.........

 

[rye]

without andrews that was a triple digit loss

 

[wikinick257]

Embarrassing

 

[CarterS]

First half i thought we were the better team let down by horrible goal kicking, 2nd half our work rate and confidence were completely shot.

 

[Nunez]

Time for change. Personal and structural.

We absolutely must shift Rayner back into the third tall role and drop Gardiner.

I'd also like to see Bruce Reville get a shot.

 

[JasRulz63]

74 less sprints.

 

[davemc_lions]

Time for Fagan to dump some players and see what the kids are like.
I really think after Kiddy went down that was our season done.

Dizzy not worked.
Hipwood and Joe cannot mark anything although our plan seems bomb it long to a pack.
I blood some kids
GWS new players a lot better then a lot of our so called stars

 

[Thedeftouch]

Their 22 tackles inside 50 to our 4

Their 17 bounces to our 1

Not enough pressure or run. Partly by team selection, partly just effort

 

[briztoon]

 

[LionKing]

So much wasted talent. Really makes me sad how broken this team is. Where’s the hunger, confidence and synergy from last year.

 

[CarterS]

8 of their goals came from >40 metres out. That can't happen often.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

This performance has to be the catalyst for serious change.

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

This post season no swanning around in private jets acting like rock stars when we have won nothing!
Stay home, recover from injuries then train hard with hunger.

 

[JasRulz63]

This performance has to be the catalyst for serious change.

Lyons for Ah Chee. Otherwise unchanged.

 

[irel]

Tracking Cam Rayner.

74 Supercoach points in total for the game.

Rayner has only accumulated 7 points 4th quarter. How embarrassment.

 

[PTizzle]

Comfortably our worst performance for the season so far. Outran, outworked, zero answers.

Some of the stories were similar - a lot of inside 50s that we didn't take advantage of and a period of momentum we didn't capitalise on, but the sheer lack of run and effort (look at the bounces/tackling/stoppage/sprinting stats) was more worrying. We looked cooked.

Andrews and Lester were huge and prevented it from being an even bigger drubbing, and I thought Answerth/Dunkley/Berry at least had a crack even if they had their fair share of errors. Disappointed in Clug, Payne and most of the forwards, and even with O out of form it is hard to see Fort as a viable option if his baseline is games like tonight as a sole ruck.

 

[AFLQLD]

Harris and Froggy saved us from a hundred point loss and had swarms of orange running toward them all night.Berry tried hard and Linc did his best.

Some new blood and some speed please.

 

[KissKiss]

I legitimately feel sorry for our defenders. Harris and co work so hard just to get screwed over up the field.

Its just so frustrating to see the exact same issues are just getting worse and worse and it all starts in the forward line. So many lazy players who just dont work hard enough and wont put in the required defensive running. Time and time again you could just see a bunch of lazy efforts of walking and jogging. Teams just know if they run hard they will kill us

Its also so annoying to see our midfield is somehow one of the smallest yet slowest midfields out there. They just get out-bodied but also out sprinted. But we somehow just dont run enough mids. We seem to have too many forwards and flankers who dont run through the middle enough

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

This has to be Fagan's last game at the club.

 

[brutus76]

Out-ran
Out-tackled
Out-skilled

Far out man!
