Non-Lions discussion 2023

[pulpdriver]

High quality quarter of footy.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Port have owned this second quarter but been wasteful

 

[pulpdriver]

Haven't watched any of it but Dockers have definitely shut up shop for the season. Dees would be loving it.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Moore runs 25+ m without bouncing the ball on a kick out. Nothing to see.

 

[BRAB]

I miss Mcstay he made me feel safe

 

[MSB ROYS]

I miss Mcstay he made me feel safe

One of my favourites as well. Now he's just somebody that I used to know.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Can we poach Port’s tackling coach?

They can really stick them.

 

[Eons]

Feels so wrong wanting the Pies to win

 

[M Malice]

Collingwood are coming..... again.

Feels so wrong wanting the Pies to win

Agree.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

I'm torn, I want The Pies to lose,but I don't want Port to win.

mathematically, how would a draw work out for us, badly I assume?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Is it better to save your legs and run over the top in the last quarter?

 

[martinson]

Is it better to save your legs and run over the top in the last quarter?

I've been wondering that after our last 2 games.

I mean Geelong were completely outplayed today and even when they looked half a chance in the last quarter they weren't all that good at all. We were just tired and started relaxing before 3/4 time.

If they were any good they could've run over the top of us. We spent a helluva lot of tickets to get the ascendency.

 

[SizeMatters]

just can't see how the Lions could go with this tempo/pressure of Port and Pies.

 

[Warwick]

These two are a step or two above us unfortunately.

 

[Nathan Barley]

I think the difference is midfield depth and the main reason why we can't play 4 quarters. Both these teams have 6 or 7 top line mids who can run through the middle and give them run late in the game while we have 3.5 now down to 3 with Ashcroft out

 

[Squizz89]

Yeah, not sure we have this in us tbh. Unless we’re waiting for finals to bring it.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Sidebottom has been unreal.

Just keeps on going.

 

[Helicon1]

Hope all our boys are watching this. Clutch goals and mental tenacity.
Hope the coaches are watching too. No player behind the ball until the last two minutes.
And…… sigh…. We could be second

 

[Paul Mac]

Seriously watching Collingwood in the last quarter with those shots at goals. Seriously how impressive was that. That is real clutch stuff

 

[FFB1]

That loss last week really stings

 

[Ceebee]

Jamie Elliots goal kicking is incredible .

 

[pulpdriver]

Well that was a good one. Like others I wonder if we're not a tier below these two and might not be able to match that sort of intensity without crumbling. Guess we'll find out in finals.

 

[Squizz89]

Watching us try to close out a game against Collingwood coming in the last quarter trying to win it, would be something to say the least .

 

[golions]

Maybe we should have gone after Jamie Elliott all those years ago when he was linked to us, he is absolute clutch

 

[Warwick]

Yeah, not sure we have this in us tbh. Unless we’re waiting for finals to bring it.

We’ve been saying that for 2-3 years.
