Says a lot about the state of our midfield. Absolutely sick of them strutting around doing what they want and just watching as their opponents run off unopposed and create link after link.Alex Davies the saviour according to Dimma.
Agree but it was more so Moyle didn't deserve to be dropped and Walter did not deserve a game.I thought we started great but not able to convert cost us again.
In 2nd quarter Lions midfield got on top of us and generated the gap. This happened quite often this year.
Two rucks did not work.
Alex Davies the saviour according to Dimma.
I feel that would be a mistake personally but I'm also frustrated by his form.Lukosius feels like he will be told to find another club at the end of the year.
I reckon Moyle is going to be a top 3 ruck. Not cos of the game today but I've just seen him do so many facets of the game well in moments I'm bullish afAgree but it was more so Moyle didn't deserve to be dropped and Walter did not deserve a game.
Moyle offered way more than Walter has been.

yesReckon we'll let Zorko rack up 18 marks across half back again?
If Touk comes back this week as he hopes.Says a lot about the state of our midfield. Absolutely sick of them strutting around doing what they want and just watching as their opponents run off unopposed and create link after link.
Say what you want about Davies’ talent, but he works hard both ways and is committed to doing whatever the team needs and we need more of it. Davies (when he’s back), Graham, Humphrey need more midfield time.
Moyle did not offer anything forward yesterday and not much in ruck either. Although Walter struggles he still brings pressure, speed.Agree but it was more so Moyle didn't deserve to be dropped and Walter did not deserve a game.

I thought we showed fight yesterday. We started well and were significantly better in 1st qtr. Just convert, put 4-5 goals scoreboard pressure on them and it could be a different story. Very painful to watch King's set shots. Especially after good conversion during the season.The Late Season Syndrome strikes again. While Hawks, Crows, Saints, NM and even Eagles are showing some fight - we seem content with our season's work effort and counting down to that European vacation. We simply have to beat Eagles next week or we would have taken a tiny step forward but still failed miserably when it counted. We're better than it all suggests - I just want to see some fight and confidence.
I agree on Rosas. Or Weller. Or Powell etc. Sometimes we just need some speed on the ball and to let out mids float forward to rest. Overall, we were not using some of them anywhere near enough. We need their kicking or speed.Surprisingly to me, middle looks like our most glaring issue. I do hope we manage to keep Davies and give him proper opportunity. He's the only one we have with a big body in the middle who can contest with big guys. Rowell is not big enough and Anderson is not a strong contested player. Graham will get another pre-season, Humphrey too. Not sure why Dimma did not try Rosas to run through there too. And don't start me on refusing to tag.
I also thought Humphrey had a couple of good games. Just in his second year.I agree on Rosas. Or Weller. Or Powell etc. Sometimes we just need some speed on the ball and to let out mids float forward to rest. Overall, we were not using some of them anywhere near enough. We need their kicking or speed.
But on paper, our CBA spread is similar to Brisbane, btw.
Anderson/Dunkley — 23
Flanders/Neale — 22
McCluggage —18.
Rowell —14
Graham — 8
Swallow —8
Ashcroft —7
Rayner — 3
Bailey — 2
So Lions are just better player for player, really.
Lions beat us in quick spread out of the middle, just seeming a few steps ahead or a few steps behind to quickly pass back and out. It was just that separation they could get. But they are all very experienced mids (bar Ashcroft). And it showed.
Our backline is usually our strength, but balance was off. Weller can’t be there, imo. Playing him, Jeffrey and Powell, along with three talls, means Uwland is our only “grunt” player. All rebound and intercept, no actual defensive accountability once players break through. And we can get punished for it.
And Ballard and Mac playing when they only have 2 talls means one is always going to get found out.
Humphrey had a good game except on the scoreboard. Good pressure, good field kicking. But that finishing needs work.
Speaking of, King—like Humphrey—had a good game. Except for goal kicking. Marking was good, positioning was mostly good. Took a great grab and converted. Just something going on there. Last two weeks about 10 shots on goal for 1.6. After an extremely accurate year, it is odd.
Yeah the people who did it had a shocker.Fox sports is saying that the crowd boo S dew when he was shown on the screen, I don’t recall that at all having been there, anyone else?
I mentioned this before, but it seemed like it was done to trigger people. Wasn’t shown at the start, or when the game was close. Just at the end when Suns fans were dejected and leaving the stadium.Yeah the people who did it had a shocker.
It was not Over the top. I’d call it muffled.
I think it was the BrisC Polo he was wearing that triggered people.
Last time I checked Lions midfield (top quality) was in full strength. Lions got on top in the middle in 2nd quarter and as a result put a scoreboard pressure on us. Lions were just better in the middle. Combine that with our very poor set shots conversion and not taking the opportunities and you get the outcome.I can't believe people are not mortified by that performance.
At home, finals on the line and just familiarise yourselves with who Brisbane had out.
It was absolutely Disgraceful

Far from disgraceful. First game at Gabba for disgraceful.
I guess we disagree. All good.There one key backman was Eric Hipwood.

It's just not that surprising, Our key position players are soft and our midfield isn't as top line as we think it this.I can't believe people are not mortified by that performance.
