At the game live 5 rows from the front!

We have been all over the Lions for majority of the match a solid effot. The efficiency into the forward line has killed us this game.

The Leading patters, Cohesion, Timing is all offf ! Brisbane go to the same spot time and time again in transition.

The Hawthorn midfield and forwards are often second guessing themselves!.

I mean this is the main difference I see

That and with our hack I50s, when they do work, we butcher so many shots too. Double-edged weakness.

Our stoppage game is back though.
 
Just once, would like a consistently and fairly umpired game. The umpires lifted for Brisbane in that second quarter.

The junk time goals hurt but it's worth remembering a fair chunk of the side don't have too many preseasons under their belts so this can happen, especially when they have worked hard for a half.

Been some good signs from the players. Just need the forward line to be more proactive rather than reactive. Felt that Lewis and Kosi were too busy holding position and not leading at the midfielders with authority.

If we ever get an even break with the umpiring we’ll be a considerable force. It’s laughable the free kicks they miss for us and the shit that brisbane has got away with, 3 of their first 4 goals from missed frees our way. We should’ve been 4-5 goals up, but umps keeping the lions in there until the momentum shifts. Happens nearly every game.
 
Getting chopped up in the stoppages, panicky in defense and not efficient up forward.
Bit to work on there but we’re not out of this.
 
2 touches on the half for Kosi. Keeps being out of position. When’s Ryan available?

Our kicking is doing him any favours to be fair. Same with Lewis.

Kozi isn't the issue this week.

Lewis has had the chance to commit to several contests where kozi has been out of position, and has sat back as the turn over happens.
Lewis commits, kozi gets the easy loose ball
 
Brisbane have been very lucky that our foot skills are so bad. Against a more skilled side they would be getting owed.

Still in it but need to stop overusing it and give our forwards a chance. Sub out Bramble or Amon as both have been disappointing.

Day has been very good, as have Nash and Newk.
 
Couldn't buy a free that quarter.
Costly turnovers and a very forgettable last 5 minutes. Worps pushed in the back as he kicked should have been a free but took a few too many steps when he had options streaming forward.

Notice when we are in attack we have two spares playing back. Not sure if this is something we've been doing all year but it's not helping us prevent their transition out of defense.
