Is he quick enough and/or would rely on foot smarts?
We have to try something.
I mean nobody is faster than Jones

Was thinking we need a good runner playing goal side/ side by side rather than in front and zoning. Can't let Jones get over the back or lose sight of him.I mean nobody is faster than Jones
Joe came to the boundary line and had an at length discussion with somebody on the bench in the last quarter - I couldn't see who he was talking to but assume Fages...it lasted a while and was unusual. Must have been after a goal given the amount of time he spent there.Jo is better when he gets time in the ruck.
He is around the ball more and can get his hands on the footy.
When fulltime forward he can get starved of actually getting his hands on the ball.
I believe in Joes case this leads to fumbles and stray kicking.
However, until Hippy returns he will most likely be stuck forward.
Maybe that should change if Hippy is out again this week, even if it is limited time in the ruck.
He is still kicking goals each week with our forward line disrupted and no real ruck time in the past 3 weeks.
Suns 10 Disposals 2.2 We won by 28 points
Saints 18 disposals 4.3 We won by 85 points, so the ball was in the forward line a lot more.
Giants 7 disposals 2.1 We lost by 18. Joe only had 2 disposals in the last half and only 3 in the last 3 quarters.
Always injured with soft tissue injuries. No chance we would want him imo.I just think Jack Martin would be a terrible list management decision personally.
See I'd have agreed on this a few weeks ago. But the more I think about how certain teams seem to have all the luck when it comes to having their opposition kick inaccurately against them, I'm not so sure.Them being the opposition had nothing to do with our poor goal kicking.
Hitting the post is not unlucky. Hitting the post means you've missed what should be your target by more than 3 metres.I actually think they would've.
3 posters in the first quarter when we were running all over them was a bit unlucky.
We just lacked the energy I flagged prematch yesterday. Why do we bring this for our away games yet we're completely devoid of it at home? Joe kicks a goal early in the last quarter yesterday to give us a 14 point lead, and like 3 blokes got around him. It would have been closer to 23 if we'd been playing somewhere else. We already had a better record away from the Gabba than at home... Yesterday's result will have only exacerbated this.The boys just looked tired.
This is the exact reason I came back to BigFooty after a 17 year absenceA lot of the posts are a tough read but I'd still rather be here than see what vitriol is being posted on facebook lol.
So basically as soon as you showed up we went to sh!tThat's it in a nutshell for me. GWS are a decent team.
As an aside, the whole experience today was a bit of a downer. Train from landsborough late by at least an hour, would have missed start of game. Was going to return to caloundra, but decided to drive to chermside. Crawled down Bruce highway, took over 90 minutes from landsborough station. No idea why so slow, no roadworks as far as I could see.Queued up for the shuttle bus at 1245 and got into the ground just before 2 o'clock. The result was the icing on the cake. I'd think twice about returning from Vic to watch another game at the gabba.
Drive back up the road was okay though. Tremendous...
Noticed this too. Maybe the rule is a "minimum of 1" not "exactly 1"?Not sure if this has been discussed yet:
Why were GWS allowed to break the 6-6-6 rule all day? They kept trying to get Jesse on Joyce so they would put 2 players in the goal square after a goal. In the first quarter we would play by the rule of only 1 in the square. But after no frees were paid we then just ran with 2 in the square from the 2nd quarter on.
Good on-ball pressure does that to most teams. We simply needed to bring it better than we did back the other way.GWS certainly brought the pressure but there was too much fumbling and poor decision making by us.
Looked like they bullied and intimidated us like Geelong have done for many years.
We need to harden up as a group
Prior. We named too many defenders yesterday as it was.Could not agree more, Jarrod was so so good in the guts.
Solution could be to get Harry Sharp in on the wing, who goes out is the million dollar question.
If a down day still has the expected score having us win by 30+, I'll take it.
Compare it to Sydney last week or the Dogs this week. The grass ain't greener.
This is very reasonable but I'm still going to be sad about this game all week.
Sorry did someone hack Danny's account or something?????What happened to you BRAB . Ever since danster168 made a positive comment about Rayner you haven't been the same.
The Lions are ultra-aggressive at stoppages, but against young, nimble teams that push numbers up around the ball and try to beat their opponents back – i.e. their only two conquerors since early April, GWS (twice) and Hawthorn.
Pushing up around the ball, Brent Danielsand Jones were immense, zipping away from contests and sucking up their Lions opponents, Dayne ZorkoPLAYERCARDSTART16Brent Daniels

PLAYERCARDEND
This was very noticeable.
Worst case scenario would be losing the next 2 and finishing 7th, potentially playing the hawks away in week 1!Yesterday may come back to haunt us. Worst case scenario is finish 5th and play Hawks in first week in an Elimination Final. Would not be confident.
We couldn’t possibly lose to Essendon at home.Worst case scenario would be losing the next 2 and finishing 7th, potentially playing the hawks away in week 1!
We also couldn't possibly throw away a 46 point lead against Carlton at home.We couldn’t possibly lose to Essendon at home.
