Game Day Round 2, 2017 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

[Toffee Lion]

The hell is with the boots tonight

 

[jackess]

Both Robbos have been poor tonight.

 

[deklares]

Not the night for bombing it long into the fwd 50

 

[rusty08]

Hope Bell takes note of that mark by Rich

 

[jackess]

Shocking defense to let that out the back.

 

[deklares]

****

 

[jackess]

Gee Andrews....

 

[Ironmonger]

Pretty happy with that quarter.

 

[MacMum]

The hell is with the boots tonight

Yes, there seems to be an issue with them. Frustrating.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Can't complain too much, lots of silly mistakes but we are in this.

 

[Sausages]

WTB a F50 mark lol

 

[3KZ is Football]

Hold your marks boys. Referred pressure greater tonight. Zorko and Beams playing well. Martin winning ruck. Rich showing leadership. Taylor looking likely. Defence not that bad, but need to settle.

 

[Crawb]

Bunch of silly mistakes. But we're playing well enough.

 

[alscotoz2]

Not a bad outcome considering our decision making and some skills are still pretty average.

Whoever's doing the job on Heppell (Rockliff?) is playing a blinder and it is so good to have Beams out on the park.

 

[royboys4eva]

Looking good in patches. Dayne Beams just gets into great positions and does so many good things. Without him we would be 3 goals behind. The longer we stay with them the better and then hope the hot humid weather wears them down late.

 

[Nunez]

Silly mistakes and a few silly frees that qtr. We'll be better for it and regroup going into the 2nd.

 

[SizeMatters]

Our forwards need gloves. Dropping everything that falls to them.

 

[deklares]

Get it in Hippy's direction. Looking ominous.

Rich looking good.

Beams is a freak.

 

[pulpdriver]

Good quarter. Some dumb mistakes and the long bomb is ridiculously predictable and proving ineffective, even with marking forwards of our calibre, but it's been very positive. With the amount of time we were pumping it in forward 50 it would be nice to have a little more on the scoreboard.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Ugh, here comes the fade out already

 

[deklares]

Getting smashed in the clearances yet again

 

[3KZ is Football]

Need to get some midfield clearances. Getting killed in that department.

 

[MacMum]

....hope the floodgates aren't opening at the Gabba

 

[jackess]

Getting smashed in the clearances yet again

It's pathetic. McKernan smashing Stef.

Need to focus more on winning the footy and less on our opponent.

 

[SizeMatters]

Andrews has been woeful.
