Review Round 16, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Melbourne

[Paul Mac]

Far out, no idea what to take out of that game. Never been disappointed with a win but we seriously stole that but that is only my opinion.

[Section 5]

Got the Crows next week

Yes, so it is the Crows my mistake.
Morris may get managed next week and then return for the Eagles.

 

[WheildonTheAxe]

Ooo haven't seen them over on the east coast. Intriguing.

Nor I. Wife brought back a present on a trip via Perth.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Fages got stuck into the midfielders at half time

 

[dlanod]

My Kayo subscription through Alinta expired so I was watching on FTA today. I think the only thing I've watched on FTA in the last half decade or so has been State of Origin.

The youngest: "Why are you watching all these ads, Dad?"

 

[Miluxx]

It's hard to be upset. 5th feels good. But jeez our goal kicking needs to improve.

Also felt 2nd to the ball all night. Centre clearances will keep me up tonight.

 

[dlanod]

Nah we'll put it together, get it back to even more or less, and then either fall across the line or have a heartbreaking loss. It's our specialty.

I'm going to thank ZoBlitz for reminding me of my call when we were four goals down - sometimes you just nail it!

Gawn has been in my nightmares for years

We got the win over him though so I'll take it

 

[braddsey]

Melbourne probably played their best game of the year tonight as a team and were really set for this game, and we managed to get the win. I think this is a massive tick for us.

Still got room for improvement but we are definitely in the hunt for a top 4 spot now I think.

Essendon or Collingwood losing puts us a game out of the 4. Goes without saying, we just have to keep winning.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Dunkley, McCluggage, Neale, Lester, Starcevich.

Lester and Starcevich might not get the accolades of the midfielders who lifted in the last half, but they were awesome, particularly Lester in the last quarter. Very honourable mentions to Lohmann, Reville, Zorko, Berry and McInerney.

Fages said Payne should be back next week

Nah, we were better for more of the game. Melbourne owned the second quarter. We just kicked badly and botched a couple of shoulda been goals. We were the better side for more of the game.

Thank Christ

 

[dlanod]

Nah, we were better for more of the game. Melbourne owned the second quarter. We just kicked badly and botched a couple of shoulda been goals. We were the better side for more of the game.

If we kicked just the easy goals it could easily have been six goal win or more with very little stress involved.

kicking 0.4 was good to watch - missed every crucial goal.

Almost like you shouldn’t just swing middling defenders forward and hope that they fix the forward line issues you’ve had as a club for 5 years

 

[Brett C]

Petty 0.4

Misses as badly as his hairline, how does he look 40 already the poor bloke.

goes searching for people recommending Harris Andrews plays as a KPF

Look, I want to like this because it's funny, but on the other hand I'm over 40 now and I don't look as old as Petty.

 

[Miluxx]

Gawn has been in my nightmares for years

We got the win over him though so I'll take it

That's fair. He killed us.

 

[RandomPest]

Jeez that was a tough watch. The overall skill level of the game was poor, and in particular we were pretty bad. But these things happen in high pressure matches, and to grind out a win like that is a huge credit to the boys. Easy to be upset despite the win, but just think, you put us in that half time situation 10 weeks ago, and we fold like a deck of cards. Put us in that final quarter after missing some of those easy shots, the heads drop, and we concede a couple of quick ones and the game is dusted. But not tonight. Not every win is going to be an 80 point demolition where our goalkicking is on point. Winning ugly is the mark of a quality side, and make no mistake, we are a quality side. Top 4 here we come.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find my cat, because he's still hiding after how loud i yelled when Hugh kicked that goal

 

[Thomasno]

Fages said Payne should be back next week

8 weeks???

 

[braddsey]

Ironic that it was two brilliant snaps from Hugh and Kai that dragged us over the line.....after total and utter butchery of goals that preceded them

Berry’s goal was super important too. That gave hope.

 

[Brett C]

Melbournes sub usage was crazy, subbed Petty off with 3 min to go for a second gamer. Classic degenerative Goody

Just ignore that Petty was injured??
