Fagan looks like a very nervous coach and Brisbane play nervous football. If momentum goes against them they drop their head and get scored against heavily

They really struggle under pressure or when the opposition gets on top. Some of the decision making and fumbling is mind boggling.

Where they are lucky is with three quality father sons in the last few years they have been able to still bring in elite talent.

Acres has been worst on ground before that goal

 

[Rotayjay]

This is why introducing a Wild Card round to make Finals would be a nonsense.

I agree. Despite the competition being even, sides that miss the eight do so for a reason. Don't cheapen the value of finals by letting more average teams in.

No one stands up for them in these games. No one

I feel like Brisbane put the cue in the rack at half time.

Carltons comeback is very much a Crows good effort.

 

[Rotayjay]

Ashcroft is a gun and they've got a clone coming in next year as well. Their midfield sorted. So annoying

One word: academy.

 

[Moonwatcher]

6 goals 8 minutes

 

[Cap]

Some soul searching for Carlton.

Lucky to get in. But they didn get in.

 

[FR0GGY]

Newman very emotional tonight

Acres channeling his Lachie Murphy

Trying to work out if I despise Brisbane or Sydney more. Both genuinely arrogant, unlikeable teams largely filled with genuinely arrogant unlikeable players

 

[Rotayjay]

If you looked up the result and didn't know anything else about the game, you'd think that was a respectable defeat. Brayshaw said the late scores to Carlton will add to Voss' frustration. Bullshit. Brisbane had the game won and put the cue in the rack because they have a final next week and Carlton are gone.

 

[pjcrows]

Brisbane pretty obviously took the foot off the gas.

GWS v Brisbane an excellent matchup.

what a marvelous evening

Having met Dayne Zorko when I lived I'm Brisbane, he is the epitome of arrogance.
Why I don't feel bad when he gets thumped

One word: academy.

Nah mate, both father/son. We've had gun players across the last 30 odd years, surely a few could produce some prodigal kids ??

I think there’s a line up

 

[Rotayjay]

Carlton may not have the best list or a fit list, but I don't rate Voss as a coach either. The Blues have been hot and cold for his entire tenure, and to be so 'cold' that you fail to kick a goal for an hour in finals is completely unacceptable.

I don't care who you play and if you're away - it's unacceptable. That's Hinkley-esque preparation and mindset.

 

[Pea Nut]

If Brisbane had a clue they'd do everything they could to trade Hipwood. Just give him away. Absolute spud. Meanwhile Logan Morris looks a genuine prospect.

Roo will get his kids to play for Port.
