Lost all interest now, pretty poor showing from Brisbane.

 

[JimmyBC]

Yea it doesn't look like Melbourne are switching off tonight, once again it looks like a massive gap when they hit top gear.

 

[Del165198]

Impressive bit of play, in front of a piss poor crowd. 1st vs 2nd.

 

[GremioPower]

Because you get the best view of the ground from level 4. The best view without mortgaging your house that is.

I haven't watched footy in loco, but I believe you. I was already a grown-up man when the most valuable seats in Brazilian stadia changed places. It was only in the 2010's that the most expensive tickets would give you access to the bottom ring. For decades, it used to be in the top ring. I still prefer watching games from above.

But my point still stands. For Melbourne and Hawthorn matches (except those against the Top-4 clubs and Geelong), the top ring of the MCG should be closed. It would enhance the atmosphere both on site and for the broadcasting.

Just me or does bailey fitsch have a weird skinny fat thing going on? That guernsey is looking a bit tight round the belly.

That double falcon is the most I have enjoyed footy this year.

Just as Beavis and Butt-Head is crudely drawn, so too is Bayley Fritsch.

Lions #10, right?

Was that the tackle to advantage/disadvantage of the year???

That double falcon is the most I have enjoyed footy this year.

I missed both plays, of course...

 

[Grave Danger]

Whatever the final margin ends up being, it's still going to be flattering to the Loins.

 

[edgie]

Melbourne are pretty good to watch when they're clicking like this and kicking straight

No Melbourne forward

Correct.

 

[afl2004]

Crows fans still trying to tell themselves losing lever didn't effect them

 

[Macca19]

1 v 2 and the crowd looks like a 2013 Melbourne crowd

 

[afl2004]

Correct.

Imagine if hipwood played for us instead of toddy

 

[afl2004]

God like place apparently and footy mad

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Now I know they don’t play at the MCG that often, but that is a fair drought

If you have to travel interstate and have a 40% or more win ratio, over a decade, at any venue outside your home state, you are doing well.

Brisbane Lions (ie post 96 merger) after 2004 GF were 11-14 ie 44%. They were 13-19 after their first game they played and won in 2009, Voss' first year and they made finals ie 40.6%. After tonight they will be 15-1-38 ie 27.8%

Even the Brisbane Bears were ok there early 3-5 in 1988, then ended up 3-23 ie 11.6% when the Bears finished in 1996.

Its why I changed my tip this arvo.

People go up there anyway, closed or not. We paid for a ticket, we want to watch from where we want to watch.

 

[JimmyBC]

Melbourne have this ability to create an avalanche of goals & kill a game quick, I think they were relying on bursts and cruising a bit recently until tonight.

Three losses in a row was probably good for them just refocused & tuned them up a bit.
