Game Day Round 2, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Melbourne

[Nathan Barley]

Petty gets away with murder

Sympathy for all the crying?

Oh, Leigh Fischer. That explains it

 

[Nunez]

Haven't won it yet. Huge half of footy to come. Absolutely must try and make a statement in the third.

 

[p4p1]

We should be further in front but pretty happy with our effort as well as our second effort.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Should have blown them apart while they were on the ropes, instead we just limped around and left the door open.

20 points at the break is nothing. Concerning if we lose this game, honestly.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Umpires let’s 3 frees go and straight down the other end for a goal. Gunston has been pathetic, bruise free and doesn’t finish when he gets a chance. Cost us massive momentum twice.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Gunston can't kick but he's finding the footy

He found a pair of boots his size in the locker room. Looks like they were McStays.

 

[pulpdriver]

Strong performance though would've been nice to capitalise on the period of dominance a little more. Another subdued performance from Clugg aside from a nice pick up and lay off to Rayner.

 

[Lace Out]

Just get the 4 points..we have plenty of time to build into the season

 

[notliondown]

Concerning that when the tall forwards bring the ball to the ground theres not a small in sight. Is McCarthy evening playing??

 

[3KZ is Football]

That last Melbourne goal, Payne was 5 metres behind Fritsch having a jog. Payne hasn’t been bad, but he is way too slow off the mark and too easy to run off.

Not looking great....fumbles heaps n not a great kick

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Ordinary last half of the quarter. The worry is Melb coming out and kicking 3 in the first 5 mins and it’s game over. Please don’t let that happen.

 

[Nunez]

He will turn it around. Even gun players can have off quarters etc.

 

[pulpdriver]

Zorko is the true barometer.

We can stop it happening .

Some people would worry sheep.

We should be a goal or 2 further in front but we're playing well enough to win it if we keep up the pressure.

 

[p4p1]

Zorko is the true barometer.

Fair.
It looked like he started on a wing for at least one bounce? His skills are still top level and he is still quick.

 

[25 years on]

We lost that quarter

In comparison Joyce looks pacey and covers ground well for a key tall. Looking good.

Yeah Joyce been pretty good.

I’m excited to see McKenna play in the second half of the year when he gets some form and continuity back. He’s played well thus far.

 

[Lace Out]

Ashcroft has elite footy smarts which will be even more apparent as he gets bigger

 

[pulpdriver]

We lost that quarter

Only by one goal but hoping to see a fiery start to the third. Don't want Oliver and Petracca to start having an impact in the centre. Dees can score quickly though their forward line not looking great tonight and no Gawn throws their structure out.

 

[Lazza16]

Zorko is the true barometer.

Luv the Zorks....

Payne will be ok

 

[FLVanLandingham]

what a goal!


that's what we need.
