Game Day Round 21, 2023 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

[M Malice]

Fort has never got a proper go in the ones to work on his ruck craft

Regardless I think we should just pull the trigger and trade Rayner for Grundy (with a few picks thrown in either side to sort out how much salary is paid by us)

Fort is doing exactly what O has been criticised for... he is worried too much about his opponent and not just attacking the ball, he is constantly looking around to see what Jackson is doing and Jackson just runs past him to the ball, just go hard for the ball for heavens sake.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

This group time and again is incapable or unwilling to fight against adversity unless they have a home crowd motivating them. No heart, no resolve and no intensity when things are against us away from the Gabba.

 

[p4p1]

It’s like we are allergic to 2nd spot

Ashy helped us be more than 1 speed. I don’t think Hughy works in the middle with Neale there, they have similar attributes IMO.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Maybe Fagan will just say we weren’t up for this game…

 

[Nunez]

Alright guys, I've consulted the brains trust and can confirm the recipe for winning the second half is starting the third quarter with Joe in the ruck and an on-ball fleet of Gunston, Rayner and Zorko.

Guaranteed victory here we come baby!

 

[lioninthesand]

There was nothing more sure than us losing this game.

Half tackles, slow to transition both ways, panic inside 50.

Nothing done in the coaches box to stop the things that are hurting us.

We haven’t responded when down all year, so don’t see anything changes here, with their run and the carry and the crowd it’ll be 40+ points.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

When do we start worrying about finishing outside top 4 ?

I'm a bit wary of Grundy. Just get the feeling he checked out as soon as he signed his massive contract. He hasn't been the same player since. all it takes is a tiny drop in desire and effort at the top level and you return to the pack. He is supposedly a different sort of a guy compared to most footballers. Not the crazy, half mad, run through a wall type that usually gravitates towards contact sports.

We just need a few more really hot takes in this thread during the half time break and I reckon we will storm home in the second half.

Freo have played their best footy and are up by 11 lol.

Gold Coast played their best footy and weren’t up by a heap at half time last week

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

We just love wasting opportunities

Fort is almost 30. He is perfectly fine as a back up but is overrated on here.

No thanks to Grundy as well unless we are paying him 200k/yr max. He’s not an elite ruck anymore and we have other areas of need.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Where do you get hit out to advantage stats from ?

The broadcast

 

[Sproj]

And all we really need to do is win by like 12 to go second on the table.

 

[marooned]

Heard Grundys knees are cooked.
Melbourne took the risk hasn’t paid off.

I said the same last week!

When do we start worrying about finishing outside top 4 ?

Not yet. Even if we lose this and lose to the Pies, all we need to do is win our remaining two games at the Gabba to gurantee a top 4 spot.

 

[Nathan Barley]

When do we start worrying about finishing outside top 4 ?

We’ll be right, we have 2 more home games

 

[Sproj]

When do we start worrying about finishing outside top 4 ?

When Carlton win next week and we lose again.

 

[luthor]

Down on confidence, no luck with 50/50 bounces and on tip of that Charlie is continually held, scragged but can't buy a free.

Umpiring all one way.

Just need a few breaks and we can pile it on.

Keep the faith

We don’t lose home and away games at home

 

[martinson]

We really need to take the game on more .

Chipped it around for 10 minutes so they could then het 2 quick ones.

To win this we need to take it , not rely on them to not play well.

 

[Nunez]

Sad to hear Kalins dad passed away. Get the win for him boys.

 

[CarterS]

if we lose this and next week
