Game Day Round 10, 2020 - Brisbane Lions vs. Richmond

[Johnny Bananas]

Good grief what a frustrating half to watch. Payne and Skinner look exactly as inexperienced as they are. Hack goalkicking is costing us big time.

 

[Nunez]

Which bit?

Probably not best to troll during a loss.

 

[Gadzorks]

I’m surprisingly ok with this. They are a very canny group who can make young players fault and exploit it.

We’ll learn today so we can smash them in the granny.

Very strange to be calm right now.

 

[The Zork]

Does much have to change? I mean if we take our chances we are in the game.
We just need to capitalise a bit better.
That Riewoldt non free was laughable.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Actually I take back the please.

LMAO

 

[Hollow Knight]

And now Rayner has done a hammy.

Another match in 4 days. Dangerous.

 

[Nunez]

Cam Rayner with a hammy **** sake

 

[Some_guy]

Lack of experience is really showing. Hoping some of the young talls show a bit more in the second half

 

[Tom14]

Depth? Haha!! ..... looking for the peeps thinking mcstay should be dropped

We are still in the bottom 6 or so for average age. Most of that is our reserves.

 

[The Zork]

4 days..

 

[kylegee28]

Expectations shot too high too soon. Where were we 24 months ago?

Yep. Whenever we have games like this I just remind myself of the Leppa years.

 

[royboys4eva]

Was bound to happen with such a short turnaround - Rayner done hamstring.

 

[Some_guy]

Welp. Rayner down too. Can only hope we limit the damage tonight

 

[Nunez]

How hard would it be to get our four day break into North and not Richmond and the Dogs?

 

[martinson]

They were and I really couldn’t fathom the pre-game confidence so many had.

I admire the optimism but no one seemed to be able to justify it with anything real. Looked like a perfect confluence of events and warning signs leading to this sort of performance we are very familiar with.

Improvement isn’t linear, and our line always seems to trend downwards leading into games against Richmond and Collingwood.

The media needs to cool it on the “Lions are the best team in the league” stuff. It’s ridiculous.

We aren’t fully baked yet. It’s almost certainly not going to be a premiership year.

We fans need to realign our expectations back to just enjoying the journey.

Expectations shot too high too soon. Where were we 24 months ago?

100%.

But I don't agree we can't win the flag this year.

We will learn a lot from tonight.

And build resilience.

Just getting out worked, tigers have more around the outside of where the ball is in dispute then have players out the back. Paine being out played which I think is causing Harris to try and do to much. Every time they go inside 50 they look like scoring. Our shooting for goal puts to much pressure on the team

 

[Fagenslions36]

Anyone see Jon Ralph crap on then about 10 of 12 games . Metricon isn’t our home ground you goose .

 

[MSB ROYS]

I need a timeout.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Depth? Haha!! ..... looking for the peeps thinking mcstay should be dropped

He would help us up the ground but his goalkicking would be as awful as the rest of the side.

 

[Nunez]

I'm need a timeout.

It's half time.

 

[Grizzly86]

Metricon's surface is holding on, just. More footy there isn't ideal. Send our away game to the Roos to Cairns if need be.

 

[Gadzorks]

No matter what happens in the second half they can’t take that goal reversal off us.

that was sweet

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Which bit?

ALL OF IT.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Sun will still rise in the morning.

 

[3KZ is Football]

ALL OF IT.

Hardly.
