Game Day Round 17, 2022 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

[PTizzle]

I have given up on understanding HTB

 

[Elixuh]

The number of times two of our mids go to tackle an oppo mid at a centrebounce and are ineffective and the ball is handballed out to their free opponents is maddening. Why do we over commit

 

[KissKiss]

Had prior and ducked. Nothing

 

[Jivlain]

Answerth's not playing

 

[FLVanLandingham]

what was that handball to hippy!

good lord.

 

[almagoo]

Blind Freddy can tell Adams is no use in this state. Get Matho and help stop the flow of footy into their forward line.
Grow one coaches…grow one!

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Payne looks out of his depth

 

[MSB ROYS]

I have given up on understanding HTB

LoL. I agree.

 

[martinson]

Hipwood is just miles off.

 

[Jivlain]

Must be HTB

 

[Nathan Barley]

How do they miss that high on Bailey?

 

[Helicon1]

Centre clearance is the issue. Just so poor out of there. Puts so much pressure on the backline when it comes out of there so quickly and easily. Need the boys in there to stand up in the last qtr to have a chance.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

with 30 seconds left to go why do in tight blind handballs.

No one was on the move, just flatfooted handballs which put everyone under more pressure each time.


come on lions!

 

[MSB ROYS]

Payne looks out of his depth

There is no pressure up the field in his defence, which does not help.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Just can’t see it happening without a heroic midfield performance in the 4th. We still look utterly vulnerable.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Payne looks out of his depth

Are you kidding?

 

[Chobo]

Hipwood just sucks

 

[3KZ is Football]

Played Lester! Amazing 1% effort on the deck.

 

[SizeMatters]

JFC. WE are bad. Can we take a mark inside 50 at all? Mids getting belted.

Bruise free footy.

 

[Nathan Barley]

One of our midfielders has to play one decent quarter. No reason 2 or 3 can’t in the last and get us over the line

 

[martinson]

Payne dropped his confidence a bit but tbh there wasn't a lot he could do .

We could win this if we could ever get it out of the centre.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Get Mathieson on. Roll the dice!
Watching Lyons run is like watching a bloke on a treadmill.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Payne dropped his confidence a bit but tbh there wasn't a lot he could do .

We could win this if we could ever get it out of the centre.

Here's hoping for a big turnaround this quarter. Seems unlikely. Go Lions.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Hipwood has been very quite again.

They have a bloke who can take a contested mark and we don't.

Contested ball inside 50 wins games.

Either Joe or Eric has to lift

 

[Toffee Lion]

Our disposal efficiency is at 64% compared to bombers 75%. That is a massive difference in a match that is largely uncontested.

Lions 51 Marks, Bombers have 92 marks. Highlighting the game is entirely on their terms.

Bombers average 11 marks i50 a game, they have 15 at 3Q, we have 4..

24 to 31 in clearances in favour of the Bombers as well.
