Autopsy AFL 2024 Opening Round 0 - Lions v Blues Friday March 8th 7:40pm AEDT (Gabba)

What a win by Carlton. Brisbane just cannot win a close game… see this game and GF

 

[Cyber_punk]

Is there a mentally weaker side than the post covid era Brisbane Lions?

I swear they've dropped some real shockers over the years.

I think they've blown more 30-40 points leads than we did under Brad Scott.

People tend to forget it cause they made a GF but it's been an ongoing issue for them for a good 4 or so years now.

Fancy a St.Kilda supporter getting all gobby about the virtues of a one-point victory.

Fancy Carlton supporters getting all cocky and arrogant after one decent season.

I would have thought 20 years of being terrible would teach blues fans some humility. I guess not. Shame really.

WTF? C'mon man . Credit where credit is due.

 

[Tandy]

Simply adjusting to having no Weitering down there. Young and Kemp are athletic but not the smartest players in general.

Not too worried about it if he makes a clean return from his calf and stays healthy.

Really like Boyd down there. Seems level headed. McGovern playing like his older brother. Need small forwards. Which is seems strange to say because they have a heap of them.

We don't have any genuine goal kicking smalls is the issue. Fogarty and Cuningham do enough up the ground in transition but nobody to crumb at the feet of Curnow and Mckay

 

[Worm4]

Massive win with no Walsh or Jacob.

A humongous effort by TDK in the ruck pretty much all night. No Motlop, Martin or Marchy either.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

No he will be going " Well done boys, you were on the ropes and you showed great courage,fought back and won the game "

He will. And at the same time he will be making sure they don't give up a 7 goal lead. Even Voss knows that will bite his side on the backside.

All AFL coaches would have the exact same thinking. They would all be going "We let them put 7 on us early. How do we prevent that"

 

[Thrawn]

They won by a single point. It could of very easily been a loss given the ball was in Brisbane's F50 late.

I very much doubt Carlton coaching and playing group would be happy being 7 goals down and having to work thier way back into the game to begin with.

They've won what, 26 games in a row there? They were full strength too, or close to.

And we beat them after being 7 goals down.

This is as a big a H&A win as I can remember, since Round 3 2001 I'd say.

Four points is still four points.

There is nothing cocky about us at all, we are enjoying our away win tonight as it proves for once and all that we are a genuine premiership contender now.

You know what I mean when I start talking about premierships ................ oops sorry, no you don't.

Just let them enjoy the win man. It was a great effort.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Ahaha love it!!! Go blue brothers!!!! Wonderful seeing those arrogant turds lose up at the gabba. That is a big loss for them. Rely on gabba wins to make top four.

When you bring up premierships you know you've lost the argument.

more like youve lost

 

[Toffee Lion]

Rotten luck for Coleman doing his ACL off of contact, not even the standard foot plant pivot.

One of the best comebacks I have seen. Reminded me of us winning at Kardinia Park against the Cats after being down by 54 points. That 3rd quarter was sensational by the Blues.

To come back against a flag favorite on their home ground is a serious effort.

 

[Thrawn]

haha rolled the dice. not the only one. What happened the other night? I don't recall being wrong about anything else?

Chin up, a little tickle under the arms and you'll be right as rain again.

Have a Bex and a lie down mate. Any club's supporters would be celebrating that win, and it's been a bloody long time since we won at the Gabba.

Yeah and a few missing too from their best squad.

 

[kreuze_missile]

So… what happens when you add an All Australian level fullback and midfielder to this side?

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Of course any club would. At the same time after it all dies down they would prefer to win by more than a point.

Unless they are saint … and then

 

[Aphrodite]

Not a bad win for a ‘mid table’ side.

Isn’t that right Grand Uncle Horace
