Game Day 2024 GF Swans v. Lions - Saturday 28 Sep @ 2:30 @ MCG

[smeggaz]

Underwhelming defense through the fwd and middle, junk inside 50s.

Lucky we are kicking straight and they've missed some sitters.

execution all over the place. Horse needs to settle them because we are making horrible decisions all over the ground

Why are we kicking short for? Need to change this

 

[wolftone57]

Not good. Giving the ball up too easily. Especially forward. Blakey has been dreadful at giving the ball up. But he is not Robinson Crusoe.

Could live with the zone if Blakey kicked to his team mates and we kicked to our forwards not their defence

 

[Membling]

Best scoring first qtr under longmire.

Suppose I will take that silverlining

 

[Millky95]

Blakey is Brisbane's BOG with some of his disposal

Happy with the scoreboard given how well they are with first terms compared to us

Bruise free footy. Very strange GF. We aren't getting close enough to smash 'em.
I'll take 8 points down but that quarter didn't tire them any for us to run over them late.

45 marks to them in a quarter - is not what we hoped.

Some very ticky tacky frees both ways, but Blakey was absolutey robbed of the clearest free all day leading to their goal.

If we can hit a target inside 50 it'll help. Had that over the shoulder inside 50 found a target when we were two goals up, we'd have been looking great that quarter. Was a 50/50 chance that didn't pan out.

Couple of times we had Logan inside 1 on 1 with an acre in front of him, and didn't look to even take that option.

 

[The King!]

worrying signs

 

[Dangas]

Just execute bloods

 

[MightyBloods]

We just need to stay with them and hopefully find run & space as the game progresses.

 

[dopesayo]

They are cutting us up through the middle, and our forward entries are horrible

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Their link up run is bad for us as we
can’t contain it. Blazing into the 50 and again our tall forwards in a cluster.

The dread all week and of course this is the start. I allowed myself some hope after kicking the first couple really hard to watch this with my heart racing.

Come on Swans please step up and shut down their run.

 

[Zevon]

We put 6 goals to 1 on them in the second quarter last time we played. Hoping for something similar here now that we’ve got our worst term out of the way.

 

[wolftone57]

We need to tighten up and pressure them. They are getting far too much easy ball

Let them get one too many goals otherwise solid enough quarter compared with our starts this year

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

Need to crank up the pressure.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Inside 50 delivery terrible. Lions good response. Red time goal frustrating. Effort is there. Now for the grind

 

[The King!]

Marks inside 50 main stat that stands our

Mxinerney probably shouldn’t be playing. Wilmitt just running off him at will which is giving them a free man. Pity because he’s just about my favourite player but he really is hampered.

Blakey heeney and gulden and Warner all trying to do too much - so they’ve all taken a step too many rather than hit the easier option.

I’ve been against Parker forward all year and I’ve seen nothing to change my mind although he might be useful in forward stoppages.

I think we will need to look at Campbell early today to give extra run because they are just killing us in space

 

[Swan4Life]

Too many easy uncontested marks. Not enough pressure on the Lions ball carrier.

That has to change quickly.

 

[Zevon]

Better than our first quarter in 2012

 

[melbournehammer]

we aren't manning up

And when we are we are having Lloyd or Robert’s on Daniher or hipwoof.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

The good news is that most of our decencies are fixable.

Need to tighten defence in transition. I am sure there are technical things we are getting wrong that coaches can help with.

F50 entries need to be much better. Just need to take our time and see where to kick to advantage. A lot of perceived pressure.

They are dominating the air, which I thought they would - but more so than I expected. This will get better if we can better pressure their ball carriers in defensive transition.

If Parker doesn’t lift, a tactical sub for Campbell could be the play.

Who is Fox on?

 

[The King!]

Officially concerned

 

[Nteshy]

Really need to up our pressure and intensity. Game very clearly on Brisbane's terms. Concerning signs early
