Game Day Round 22, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. GWS

[DevRoboGun]

Most of the damage was in that first 3 minutes, they just shot out of the blocks and it felt like our boys thought the game was over at QT.

Eventually got the game back on even terms but gee was that a bit soul crushing after such a great first quarter.

You mean they thought it was over even after the Round 0 Carlton loss, the Swans dominating the second quarter against us, plus countless others... It's so predictable. We better respond.

 

[Squizz89]

Harris looks like he doesn’t know whether he should be defending or playing the interceptor role and as such isn’t really doing much of either. As said already put Joyce onto Hogan and let Harris focus on what he does well.

 

[Ceebee]

This is going to be real test of what it is to play finals .
They will have to go deep to win this .

 

[JasRulz63]

Very disappointing quarter, but at least we've somewhat able to stop the momentum these days. Earlier in the season that's an 8 goal quarter for GWS.

First 5 mins of the third quarter will be big.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Joe needs to give Taylor a bit more respect. Starting to go third man up and give run out of defence

 

[martinson]

The problem is we should've been 2 or 3 more up at quarter time and then we could've afforded to stink it up at the start of the 2nd quarter.

 

[martinson]

They won't go away so we need to focus and get some control back. A few spasmodic efforts during that quarter.

 

[luthor]

Couple of howler ump decisions alright but we also lost our composure that quarter.

Lachie 9 disposals but being held relentlessly.

Come on boys.

Lift!

[Section 5]

At least we did not have one of those 0 goal quarters.
Not a great 2nd quarter but if we want top 4 we have to dig deep in each game.

Neale, McCluggage and Fletcher need to lift big time.
Wilmot and Andrews not getting much of the ball in defense either

A stint in the ruck for Daniher would not hurt either. Get him more involved.
Four kicks so far and we know what happened with 3 of them.

 

[Paul Mac]

Obviously GWS will want to play a quick game in the second half and we will be trying to play a conservative game. IF GWS get a run on in second half i will be really worried

 

[HereIGoAgain]

Coaching has been real good lately but the coaches got found out that quarter. Zorko getting dictated to by Daniels, Harris looking confused as to his role and Big O and his mids not competing. Needed Ashcroft in the middle more when he is going like this.

They've shown great resilience lately so cant see them losing this.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Poor options by Cal and Joyce

 

[Nathan Barley]

Peatling is a massive ducker

 

[Nathan Barley]

Poor kick by Charlie

 

[Nathan Barley]

Not getting our ball movement going this quarter

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Don't know if it's been mentioned on the coverage but I think we had a slight wind advantage in the first quarter, but it's swing right around now, very definitely favouring the Giants' goal in the third quarter

 

[Nathan Barley]

What is the ump doing?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Handy

 

[Grasshopper17]

Watching the dance down in front of me between Joyce, Andrews, Hogan and Gruzewski is fascinating. Andrews wants to play on Hogan but the Giants are trying to get Joyce onto Hogan. 0-0 so far I think!

Its worked against a few teams in freeing Hogan. Feels like it risks making it a constant 2 on 2 and wasting space for forwards

 

[haystark]

That’s on Andrews. Bloody terrible kick to Jaspa.

 

[Harris Specter]

Worst game by Andrews all year

 

[Nathan Barley]

Not good enough Fletcher

 

[p4p1]

Brain has been excellent.

Finally didnt call a peatling duck
