Was going to mention Lappin acuguy. He just worked for the team tonight. Plenty of unheralded stuff.

Still doesn't change the fact that it wasn't going to be a goal.
Not surprised.
Bloody hell.
If we could just get our fair share of clearances and possessions during the course of a match we would be well nigh unstoppable.!!

Gah that was not relaxing again! 
I would sooooo much prefer to play games where we start playing in the first quarter and not wait until later to click in - coming from behind all the time is painful (especially when it doesn't come off).
Gotta admit I was just waiting for the game to be over when we were that far down but stuck with the telecast and was really glad I did!
Hopefully both the positive and negative reinforcements will stick with them.
Oh and good on the Berger for taking the bulk of the ruck duties especially against those two.

I reckon Lappin just got his body in the right positions, Notting also found some aggression for the pill and really looked to run in the second half. These 2 blokes are just so vital for us. TJ is an enigma, if our midfield has grunt then he is going to hurt the opposition bigtime like he did tonight, loved his crumbing goal!
I reckon the rain forced Brisbane to play what comes naturally, and that is to boot it long to the forwards, and let them do the job. Shame we can't do this for the full four quarters, but it'll come with time I hope

You got a link? I was mad at the time but when I thought about it, if the ump gets in the way, then I suppose a decision has to be made. But in this case he had no reason to be in the way and a goal should definitely not have been given. I'm just glad it didn't decide the game.
In the rule book, if it hits the umpire, and then goes through for a goal, it's a goal. From what I've heard, that's what happened, so fair enough.

Apparently we won the clearances 43-35. That last quarter certainly helped
I recall a game a few years ago when we kicked 13.6 in the last quarter against Freo
We were behind by about 50 Points
Port had that game in the bag from the start
I agree mate
OMG LIONS, YOU LITTLE BEAUTY
I think tonight we saw our worst play (first quarter) and our best play (last quarter) all in one game.
My hat is off to the boys, and I am so glad i did not turn the television off at 3 quarter time!!!
Special mentions are to the Berger, Mcdonald, Travis, Corrie, Black, Bradshaw and my man SHERMAN, its great to see him getting back to form!!!
Overall I am a happy little camper atm and nothing can bring me down.
GO LIONS, GO YOU GOOD THING!!!

Oh well. I understand the rule and the reason for it but it's still crap when a ball bouncing back into play gets given as a goal.
I kinda thought it must be something like that when the 'goal' was given. Bloody umpire should have got out of the way.

Dunstall was giving me the irits so much I turned the sound down and turned 98.9 up , brilliant, plus they were a couple of seconds ahead which made it more exciting. Just love their commentary.not to mention those silly silly commentators...
30 points down after kicking a goal...."the Lions are back in it''
46 points down after kicking a goal...."the Lions are back in it"
34 points down after kicking a goal...."the Lions are back in it''
yet throughout the whole last quarter when we were actually back in it - or better yet, in front....there was nothing...maybe they missed our comeback???
Very enjoyable reading this thread back, but this was gold!

I thought he called it pretty well actually, as he always does.

Awesome win. God braddles was awesome.
I definitely like the look of Henderson down back at the moment, we just need a taller player down back and it is a great way for him to get a game week in week out without the pressure of kicking goals. I also am going to admit that i am a becoming a bit of a Mills fan and i am going to admit that maybe he will do his best work on our forward line. He just provides a contest and gives a 3rd marking option. Saw a few times tonight when we were down his positives. Of course in the avalanche at the end there was no need for a 3rd marking forward
On reflection I think I'll take a 20pt demoralisation of Port over a <1 goal loss where i get to complain about the umpires all week.

Mills just needs to pin down a position. He has played well back and forward and hopefully will get some decent game time to cement his place. As a forward, he leads well and takes a good mark but his goal-kicking leaves a lot to be desired as a rule.I definitely like the look of Henderson down back at the moment, we just need a taller player down back and it is a great way for him to get a game week in week out without the pressure of kicking goals.

If Mills could just learn to kick, he'd be really valuable. I'd certainly be keen for him to ply more if the opposition match-ups warrant it.
The Sherminator is about to have a really big game.
Loved that pick up in full-flight through the centre. He gave away a free-kick for kicking in danger, but the movement was 2006-esque.

We're currently 8th on the ladder by percentage.
The worst we can be after this weekend is 9th, if Freo vs Richmond is a close score, we'll hold our spot in the 8.
Not bad considering our tough draw.
