Review Round 14, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney

[Nunez]

Did you still have your wallet after the game? If so, wasn’t brab.

What a stupid comment. Every one knows Briztoon uses a bill clip and not a wallet.

 

[p4p1]

Ruck

Most of his ruck work seems to go to the opposition though. I'm not sure what the stats say but on TV at least it appears that way.

 

[BrisVegasDru]

I said that on Friday night.

I wonder how many tats BRAB has?

The bloke next to me left the game early, as he had to drive back to the goldy.

Am certain there are many and they look like the prison kind!

Oscar is bad but Fort isn't much better

Main advantage with Fort is he can handball without it taking 5 minutes to release the handball

heck I’m not that old. Who carries cash these days?

That was pretty evident on Friday night.

Especially when Fort went in to the ruck in the third, and started tapping the ball down to our players.

Then it felt like a momentum killer when Oscar went back in to the ruck.

The way I hear it you youngsters only have atm cards in case you want to purchase recreational drugs, so am heartened to hear you don't really own a billfold Briz

What's an ATM card? Haven't they gone the way of the cassette tape as well?

 

[Section 5]

No doubt they will, we will just need to be smarter with the way we deliver the ball into the forward line and do it quicker, Rather than waiting for them to flood before kicking high and long.
But with both Rayner and Lohmann in the forward line, they can both compete in the air.
I think we need to give it a go for a bit longer and for me, it is Fort who has to miss out to keep Lohmann in.

I think that Fletcher & Lohmann changed our structure in a positive way.
But obviously McCluggage and Zorko will come into the side if fit.
Maybe Zorko gets managed again and that opens one spot for either Fletcher or Lohmann.

Our worse forward was Cameron (but he stays in) then Fort then McCarthy.

I don't think Fagan will drop a tall forward (Fort). As this leaves us with only Hippy as a KPF when Jo rucks
But i do think Fullarton may be a chance. Fagan most likely stays with Fort.

Will they drop McCarthy for Lohmann this week i don't think they will.
Unfortunately for Lohmann, it looks like Zorko will come in for him if fit.

Berry stays on one wing and i think McCluggage takes the other at least initially.
If they retain Fletcher as wing relief that means Dev most likely misses out. I don't think that happens as Dev played very well.

Looks like they both may be in one week and out the next. But not because of form, just a little unlucky.

Would love to know which coach gave Ashcroft the 4 and which gave him 0

 

[Dalions]

That was pretty evident on Friday night.

Especially when Fort went in to the ruck in the third, and started tapping the ball down to our players.

Then it felt like a momentum killer when Oscar went back in to the ruck.

Obviously 1 of the coaches thought differently.

With Oscar getting coaches votes

 

[Nathan Barley]

Yeah weird votes

Was fairly happy with our rucks because Hickey was quite good last year (not so much this year)

Though maybe Parker or Rowbottom might get in there

Drugs are purely a cash business.

One in every 4 hit outs to advantage is actually pretty good I would have thought.

interesting how oscar has become somewhat of a whipping boy on this board but is fairly consistently getting coaches votes

Really? Nah! You sure?

Agree, while O is not an elite ruckman he does a serviceable job, at least breaks even with his opposition ruckman on most occasions, good at ground level for a big man and takes some good contested marks... and busts his gut at every contest.

There are not many Max Gawn or Dean Cox type ruckmen around.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

The HS gave Parker BOG (with Neale 2 and Bailey 1).

4th time which isn't bad

But honestly he mostly gets votes for neutralising a better ruck. It's not like he's dominating the ruck, giving our mids silver service and influencing the play around the ground

To me Oscar is a good enough ruckman to win a flag. But that's more that he can contest and neutralise and occasionally clunk a mark.

Not so much anymore, Instagram and beemit are bringing a few undone

 

[bungalow_bill]

Watched the last half last night. How good was it seeing Bailey Rayner and Ashcroft streaming through the center followed by Bailey's awesome goal from just outside 50.

 

[briztoon]

Honestly, I wouldn’t have a clue these days.
