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

[MacMum]

I'm trying to tell myself that we don't start well, this is our normal start then we go on to win.

..yeah, that's what will happen, no probs just another gameday.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Yeah was dumb by Fort not to handball

 

[Jivlain]

Very confident in Michael's kicking already

 

[PTizzle]

How many HTBs haven't been paid this term?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Joe getting nothing.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

THERE WE GO!

 

[Nathan Barley]

Handy

 

[Hollow Knight]

Well we needed that but I don’t like the way the game is shaping up.

Going through be a bridge too far I think.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Again it'll come down to the midfield. Break even or get close to breaking even and we'll win comfortably

 

[KissKiss]

Very confident in Michael's kicking already

He and Payne are doing well in an inexperienced backline. The potential is definitely there

 

[MSB ROYS]

Joe getting nothing.

Being held nearly every contest. Only free against him for a hold.

 

[RU_]

Going to be a long day I think.

 

[rwan566]

Carter Michael has great vision and seems composed, complete lack of pressure on transition letting us down which is a structure/ effort issue we. If I am seeing it not sure why the coaches arent

 

[FLVanLandingham]

I'm not all that worried.

We've had some really shocking f50 entries. Try get that sorted to just be average and we have the skill in our forward line to put on a good score.

Defensively we looked out of sorts (big surprise), but the individual performances of Payne and Adams is pretty good. I think Lester will settle a bit more.

come on lions!

 

[Squizz89]

Yeah this game is all on the midfield. To much firepower up forward for them but with our outs they’ll have enough up forward if we let them get it out of the middle to often.

 

[KissKiss]

Again it'll come down to the midfield. Break even or get close to breaking even and we'll win comfortably

If the mids can get some control or at least apply pressure we can win. But the backline individually looks ok but are unorganised. They need up field assistance.

Is worrying how much more easily essendon are able to move the ball forward. Too much uncontested football

 

[JasRulz63]

Midfield might want to pull their finger out. -3 clearances and -4 contested possessions isn't exactly how you protected an undermanned defense.

 

[rye]

weird game

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Luggage 6 touches, didnt see him once that qtr.

 

[Nunez]

Well we needed that but I don’t like the way the game is shaping up.

Going through be a bridge too far I think.

I think we'll work them over in the middle. If we can get some connection going we should win. Can't see us winning if our mids don't get on top.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Do you get that Yeronga Devil's sign language theme song ad from Colgate in Melbourne and elsewhere? On so much in Brisbane.

 

[Harris Specter]

Umpires definitely looking after Essendon here. Lots of holding going on which is going unnoticed.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Today is the day that is becomes absolutely clear how much our defence usually covers our midfield’s ass.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Getting killed in the centre. Get Matho on!

 

[luthor]

For the first time in living memory, it's us that gets a goal on the bell.

Very handy
