Game Day AFL 2024 Season, Round 21: St Kilda Saints v Brisbane Lions, Sunday 4th August 4:40pm Marvel Stadium

[Plugger35]

Our kids are showing something, the green shoots are there, we just need to wait for them to grow into a premiership forest.

Along with getting some more good seeds in the next draft.

 

[StFly]

Unlucky to get pinged. Not a whole lot of prior in that.

Turned him nicely, Gus' problem was Charlie is a good bloke.

It’s just so tiresome. When we went as the top contested team over the past month that had nothing to do with Ross. But now that we are going to lose here you come crawling out of the woodwork and it’s all his fault. I bet you love it.

Just give it a rest in the game day thread. It’s no wonder this forum is dying a slow death with trotted out little pre-conceptions by people just so desperate to send them.

Why would I love it? This has been one of the most putrid seasons in memory, which is saying something considering we have been awful for 12+ years.

Huge question marks on Lyon. Game style is gross, but worse the effort is not even consistently there. A lot of the kids have gone backwards. Blokes like Bonner have getting games all year, and we are hearing stupid stuff like Owens "gets lost" in the midfield. Very alaming. How about fixing it ffs. Back him in. Don't trust Ross to develop kids at all. Just a stubborn stubborn unit.

Overall, we appear to be going backwards, list is not that bad, our effort and game plan are. We have had a half decent month of footy when the season was done? We supposed to celebrate that? Who cares.

Young kid on debut been solid I reckon

yes very true. Gus been quality. Very happy for him.

 

[JG22]

Lions are comp best at footy and comp best at ‘extracting’ the high tackle

 

[Goddardwetrust]

I'm sorry, I couldn't handle anymore, I was thinking of having the autopsy early .

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Do you reckon the umps are really that dumb they’d think a caught player handballing the ball into himself is really trying to make an attempt?

 

[RBW_007]

3 points ahead of the Swans. We'll need 2 goals in the last to get the job done. Gonna be close.

 

[Teflon]

This group doesn't appear to respect Lyon at all. This is one of the worst efforts I have seen from the club.

Barely trying. Work rate is comical.

Horse shyte

 

[JG22]

Bonner injured according to the afl app

 

[StFly]

Q3
In the penultimate to D-Day, the Lions only managed to extend their lead by 2 goals, as we kicked 2 to their 4 and thus showing that in Q4, we can kick the 10-0 required to win.

In other news, nothing really changed, the Lions do as they please, get reward for effort and run out comfortable winners, but stranger things have happened...

A lot of 'kids gone backwards'? really

Players who have imporoved this year

Battle
Pou
Sharman
Nas (gone to another level)
Windy before his injury

Agreed Chito has had a hard year,
He's played much as a mid sized forward in a team that could hardly use it going forward

He's played

Garcia
Shoenmakers
Collard
Wilson
Hastie

Reckon if anything he's been developing well. Midfield and forward connection been the problem the whole year.

That simple.

He's given midfield time to

Nas, Owens, Pou too

 

[Teflon]

Which is far more than we win in case you haven't noticed.

This team picks and chooses when they want to turn up physically.

You can forgive Ross for simply not having the cattle, and players with ordinary skills. However, we get outworked far too often under his tenure, and mentally look shot.

The lack of physicality is embarrassing and happening way too regularly. That is 100% on Ross and the coaching staff. Ffs, look at the physique on our blokes versus other teams. Looks like we don't even hit the weight room. It's embarrassing.

Embarrassing? That’d be your constant “kick the Ross” line ??? That’s embarrassing you were quiet last week…now why was that ?
Back to bed time …

 

[Joffaboy]

Lol Dwayne says we need personnel. How do we get it when a premiership favourite beating us by 10 goals gets the best pick in the draft for free?

[Sarcoidevo]

Lovely throw there by Neale

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Neale throws it.

Commentators: great hands!

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Even their **** kicks fall perfectly

That is absolutely wild from an equalisation pov but it’s real

 

[Plugger35]

"Great hands from Neale"

Maybe if he was playing for the Broncos, that was a throw.

 

[Sully111]

Grabbed my strat. Playin' the blues. Soothing.

 

[Munga]

It's great watching a professional midfield grind the opposition for two hours solid, even when up by 14 goals. I miss those days.

 

[RBW_007]

Neale throws it.

Commentators: great hands!

Then Pou gets one out when tackled and commentators: gets away with one there
