Review Round 22,2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. GWS

[ZoBlitz]

Football.

 

[wikinick257]

Embarrassing. Can’t wait to lose a prelim at GHMBA

 

[Happy_Neale]

Diabolical goal kicking. Better now than in finals I guess. Oscar completely outpointed by Keefe who has never played ruck in his life.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

hard to watch

Ashcroft was nice especially early on

 

[p4p1]

We shot ourselves in the foot with our shots at goal. Our mids got pantsed in the last.

Still confident for the next 2 weeks.

 

[fugitive]

Seems like I have seen this before against GWS in a crunch game, kick twice as many behinds than goals

 

[Mazza44]

We should've had 8 goals at quarter time. Instead, we ended up with 8 at full time.

 

[Gadzorks]

We've seen this loss before. Miss easy shots early, get stresses, start fumbling and the misses and fumbling cascade.

Sigh.

Joe and Charlie both missed what must be easy set shots in Q1. Would have started an improvement cascade.

Can't win one point at a time.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

30 point lead lol

 

[Nathan Barley]

Good wake up call

Starce awesome. Berry good. Ashcroft working hard offensively

 

[Happy_Neale]

Unreal to think our season might derail because of a Charlie Cameron

[Squizz89]

What can really be said? From the moment Charlie missed the sitter you just knew things were going to go bad. Kick the goal next time mate instead of going the flex, especially given your form in front of the sticks this year.

The coaches have been rightly lauded for our form the last 2 months, but whatever it is they were trying to do with Harris wasn’t it. We completely took away his strengths by our own accord. That wasn’t a good move.

Hopefully that doesn’t mentally screw the group, but it’s probably top 2 gone and if we lose 1 of the next 2 you’d assume top 4 could be in trouble too. Disappointing but the shit start to the year really gave us no room for poor kicking games like today.

 

[Corrupt_]

good stinging loss to go into finals, top 4 still up for grabs

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Knew this was coming after we were branded as the premiership favourites last week.

 

[Dalions]

Need both Hippy and Payne back big time if we are any chance in September.

 

[RoyBoy17]

Frustrating to say the least. I can’t believe how many players we have that are a 50/50 proposition directly in front. And the midfield group was pretty average after qtr time.

Joyce is a real issue. Don’t have much else though.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Bad kicking is bad football. Daniher was terrible today when it mattered. Just doesn’t dig deep enough when we really need leadership. Should have won that one. Hipwood back would help. Shallow entries inside 50 were too cute in the second quarter and cost us, because we let them back into the game.
I thought Starcevich, Lester, Ashcroft, Zorko and Berry were our best for mine.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Kicking at goal was horrific for the Lions. Then up the other end they couldn't miss.
We were killed in the fat side all day, which lead to a lot of fast break goals. This is the blueprint for beating the Lions.

Harris can’t do much when his fellow KPD is a liability

Fagan will point to the stats and say you don't lose often when with those numbers and he wouldn't be wrong in doing so. Except this is not the first or second time it's happened.

I'd rather we lost by being comprehensively beaten but the truth is we were the better team. The better team for 80% of the day, the better team around the ground and should have won. The expected scores result on twitter is going to be horrific to look at. The reality is we were better and lost, that's just a bitter pill to swallow.

We did a lot right today, the 1st quarter was incredible and we should have been 40-50 points in front. While we started slow in the second, we responded and got the game back on even terms which lasted until the 4th. Then we just got ran over at the end when we should have been 30 points up.

I actually thought a lot of players played well today, that's the harrowing aspect. Usually in a loss you can point to a lot of the team struggling but in reality it was only a select few who were quite poor today.

Bad kicking is bad football and we did a lot of that today unfortunately. While this game will be the catalyst of us losing Top 2, it's probably more to do with our 2-5 start catching up to us.

 

[martinson]

We kicked like schoolkids and they kicked straight. That was the game. No one to blame but ourselves.

It was still salvageable but every chance we got we missed.

Gut wrencher for that t happen in such a crucial game.

 

[notliondown]

I think Hugh lost every contest today and Lachie had zero impact... There are games where those 2 guys win it for us but today it was the opposite. We have to find a way to level out the effectiveness of the midfield it's just too imbalanced at times.

Oh... And it's the big sticks boys... Seriously

 

[MSB ROYS]

A lot of big egos on the field this week, most of who didn't deliver.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Bad kicking for goal was the problem obviously . Was disappointed that Oscar wasn't take to able advantage of his match up, I think Smith actually did better on the ruck than he did. Ah well, move on to next week.

Yep a real lesson in efficiency. 4 behinds for the day for the giants
