Review Round 16, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Richmond

[p4p1]

Very hard to pick my 5th player tonight, went with Bailey.

Reckon he had a Cyril like 12 possession game, dangerous every time he got it.

Berry was strong defensively and Linc had a quiet 3 goal game.

Most complete performance this season for me

It will be hard to argue for the 3 tall forward line now IMO. I think tonight also shows why we should be bringing a runner as sub. Lohman would’ve been a handy sub tonight IMO. I think so used to the 3 key forward line the coaches are forgetting that we will still be able to function effectively with 1 + Rayner or Charlie playing a more key forward type role

Tonight was probably the most Joe, Joe has ever been. That last kick just capping it off.

I think if you want to explain to someone what Joe is about, just use highlights from this game.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Ashcroft or Neale for BOG. Ashcroft so clean in close when many would fumble, an absolute star.

 

[matwt73]

My fifth vote went to McKenna, maybe not the fifth best in the side tonight but he has crept up on me in terms of what he offers us, and it's past time I found him some votes.

 

[The Substitute]

How is anyone still jumping on Joe?
He's leading our player of the year. Deservedly. And another 5 tonight. #jet

 

[pulpdriver]

6% percentage bump. Wonder what we can do next week.

 

[beardancer]

hope Cal is ok, great game by everyone tonight

Was close for me as well, sets up so much from the backline.

Would have loved Rich and Zorko fully fit this year to have the 3 of them and Coleman carving teams up from the back half

 

[MSB ROYS]

Excellent win.

He and Kiddy provided so much drive forward all night.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Great all round performance, GO the mighty Lions.

Said it during the week but we really need to get his signature on paper. Absolute gun with his ability to create, like no one else on our list can.

Everyone?

Don’t push them it was very hard just to type that out.

Not just the highlights...

Not just the highlights...

And lowlights.

My wife’s Aunty is over from Jamaica, tonight is the first game she has ever seen. I tried to explain Joe to her earlier on, by the end of the game she mostly understood what I had been trying to say.

 

[The Zork]

Ashcroft won’t need to shower.
Didn’t get out of 1st gear.

 

[royboys4eva]

Always a pleasure to beat Richmond even better to smash them. Was always going be hard for them with no Prestia and Dusty and Jack Riewoldt obviously forgot to get of the plane

Everyone played well tonight. Good to see Kiddy get some nice touches. Ah Chee was looking dangerous until he knocked himself out.. McCluggage close to best on ground for me.

Next week vs Eagles - rest Oscar and Dunkley maybe one or two more. Zorko - Lyons and Lohman can all play.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Best all round team performance in a long time. All players performed, even Fort when he come on with limited minutes.

 

[pulpdriver]

Concussion for Cal confirmed by Fages. ****. Missing next week.

 

[Ceebee]

I have been waiting for a dominant win like that all year and it was very satisfying .
Well done boys you were awesome the whole darn lot of you .

 

[SizeMatters]

Good game overall.

My votes are Ashcroft, Clug, Neale and Daniher. not in any order.

fifth vote for Rich who has done a great service in finally doing the right thing and 'stepping down' from the team to allow McKenna, Wilmot and Coleman space to grow and play their natural game without the need to cover him on the defensive side anymore. Good job Richy Rich.

 

[scott_the_man]

That midfield trio of Clug/Neale/Dunkley worked so well tonight. Dunks with the defensive efforts, Neale with the clearance work and Clug with the spread and delivery. Compliment each other so well and tonight was the first game it really clicked.

 

[pulpdriver]

"Huge developments with Dev Robertson" according to Ralph. 2 year deal on the table, doesn't see Byegles as an appealing destination, "likely to stay at Brisbane".
