Game Day Round 19, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney

[Grasshopper17]

Put the countdown clocks on the bloody scoreboards.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

We have Morris running around in the 2’s and play a big, slow, unskilled ruckman forward with our top 4/8 chances hanging in the breeze, ridiculous decision.

 

[Shaq attack]

Hope Fages gives them a ****ing bake at half time.

 

[HereIGoAgain]

How does Gulden not have a player on him?

Zorko.

 

[Nunez]

Going to be a big second half.

 

[notliondown]

Our mids need a rocket. How the hell do they manage to switch off so often and so regularly

 

[Toffee Lion]

That was putrid. What an awful quarter. The lack of effort was so apparent.

 

[Sproj]

Despite being awful there, we are only 7 points behind. Need a big half time speech from Fagan.

 

[Grasshopper17]

That was out of bounds ffs

Certainly was not. Had the perfect view of it from where I'm sitting.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Dunkley 7 disposals, Neale 6

Write it on the whiteboard Fages

 

[Squizz89]

I’d make the Bruce / Smith sub at half time. We need more impact around the ball. Henry isn’t offering a lot up forward.

 

[Harris Specter]

I knew the first quarter was too good to be true.

Mentally weak midfield and not good enough

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Neale 6 Dunks 7- there it is.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We’re right in this though. Just need to out work them in the 2nd half and we should win

 

[Toffee Lion]

The selection of Smith is also just plain arrogant. This kid does not look ready and we are too tall up front.

I’d make the sub at HT, take him off for Bruce and try to get more numbers to the middle.

 

[Squizz89]

Didn’t Fages put it on the mids at halftime in the Demons game? Would it work a second time?

 

[Nathan Barley]

That quarter; Neale 1 disposal, Dunkley 2 and Ashcroft 3

3 effective disposals from those 3 combined

And nobody else stood up

 

[Hollow Knight]

The selection of Smith is also just plain arrogant. This kid does not look ready and we are too tall up front.

I’d make the sub at HT, take him off for Bruce and try to get more numbers to the middle.

Bizarre selection in terms of balance, even if people got seduced by his VFL form.

 

[The Zork]

The Smith selection is going to cost us. I don’t want to add to the pile on but he’s not up to it, especially not in a game like this. Should have swallowed 3-4 marks and had as many shots.

 

[Squizz89]

Bizarre selection in terms of balance, even if people got seduced by his VFL form.

We have enough players in Rayner and/or Cal to take that third forward spot for a week if Logan did need the rest. Don’t really need another lumbering ruckman out there against a quick Sydney team I wouldn’t have thought.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Probably need to put the handbrake on baking a bloke in his first game but that’s just me.

 

[Miluxx]

Maybe being a touch critical of Joe as I feel like he's had a terrific 1st half.

I'd really like to see him take ownership of that last kick. Takes a mark in range. He had to know there wasn't much time left. Just had to know. Go back and slot it from 60 which we know you are comfortable with.

 

[MSB ROYS]

The Smith selection is going to cost us. I don’t want to add to the pile on but he’s not up to it, especially not in a game like this. Should have swallowed 3-4 marks and had as many shots.

Still one half to go.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Make the sub at half time

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Typical of this team to play like the #1 team in one quarter then backing that up by not show up for the next.
