When are the Lions going to start a new year with a proper ruckman. You know, one who actually taps it to his own players?

What a load of BS. Do you play the game? The umpires and coaches hardly EVER impact the result. Its the players 99.9% of the time.

Straighten that tin foil hat son.

Sh*t quarter by the Swans. Brisbane running around like they got the wrong boot on the wrong foot.

Who kicked that dross?

Exciting for Fletcher .. his 1st goal in AFL :thumbsu:

Agreed

Must have come off the side of his boot and went through for 6 points :D

Not Hipwood again .. god help us.

That "no intent" was a bit rich, anyhow the Lions need goals anyway they can get them.

Ohhh no .. not Hipwood.

You say that with the lizard running around wondering what day it is?

Q. Should an umpire report be a send off for the game? Ahhh probably not.

Pops Fagan looks a bit confused.

Meanwhile two Lions players falling over each other.

Hipwood kicks a behind .. shock horror.

meaning each of those three things have a lot more to do with the Lions playing way below their potential particularly away than Neale having a bad game.

Three things. A 2nd string ruckman who, 8 times out of 10, taps it straight to the other team. Pops Fagan gets out-coached about 4 times a year. Don't have a proper captain who understands leadership.

Can't officials just say "put him on the cart - no argument" ?

An U14 player would have kicked that straight.

Might as well say it. The big O is a 2nd-tier ruckman IMO. I was over his tapping straight to the opposition in 2022 and more of the same garbage in 2023. FFS Lions, recruit a 1st-tier ruckman.

Self-evident after their pre-bye effort in Adelaide and this post-bye effort today.

Brisbane. Embarrassingly bad work rate putting their own defence under pressure. Not a grand final contender really.

I grew up in Adelaide and Mum was (deceased for 10 years) a one-eye Crow supporter. I live in Brisbane and my kids were born here so its the Lions in this household. I miss ringing Mum to rub it in or taking the call from Mum and eating humble pie.

But its not at the Gabba (nor is the Grand Final) its raining and the wet ball exposes crap handling skills. I say it every week .. the Lions need to recruit an A grade ruckman who does more than bash/kick it forward and say a Hail Mary.

Yep, the game was lost in the 3rd quarter. Harris Andrews' wins the Darwin Award for punching his opponent in the gut with the goal umpire less than 2 metres away.

Exactly, he is his own worst enemy.

Lions defence are just embarrassingly bad.

It has been in the Lions attacking half 90% of the time in Q3 and they have kicked 1 gaol 8 behinds.

Yes, terrible.
