Game Day Round 23, 2022 - Brisbane Lions vs. Melbourne

[Jeremiah001]

Andrews has been far from our worst defender tonight

Not talking about tonight specifically. Hasn't worked all year.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Do we play Michael as a third tall down back and add another decent kick to our defence.?

 

[mattsmob]

Its another game where I'm not convinced it's our defence's fault. The problems are more up the field. The midfield and forwards are just slow and don't work hard enough.

Its been the same problem for a long time but we just refuse to change things

Gardiner has been directly responsible for a couple goals tonight but as you say the ball has been walked in there at times tonight. Also a couple communication errors earlier in the game that cost us.
I've been really disappointed with the lack of movement from our forwards tonight, not sure if they're too focused on being next to Lever and May but Hipwood seems to be the only one moving around out there.

 

[martinson]

It's basically been a walk in the park for the Dees tonight.

How have they struggled so badly against everyone else. ?

A question I can't answer.

But I did think they were gearing up for finals . They're a classy well drilled outfit.

Tonight we've given barely a whimper.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

I hate to not be so positive.. but when do we start thinking about getting Berry off. I want him firing for Tigers.

Of course we'll win this match anyway, but for whoever we vs

 

[KissKiss]

Yeah, this is on the midfield.

Problem is at this point in the year its almost too late to change things. We had a chance to change things up when they beat us in the middle of the year. But we did nothing and look same old problems if not worse

 

[ItsRaynerGoals]

What announcement do we want to se this week to make us forget about this result? Levi committing two years out?

Oh I agree. Coaching needs a clean out, this season is cooked. Richmond is going to destroy us in 2 weeks time.

 

[marooned]

First time I have ever left a game early. I sat there when Crows beat us by 106. And many other drubbings. Disgusting pretend tough shit. Not in them to do the team things.

 

[Harris Specter]

Zorko and Gardiner re-signing coming right up

 

[martinson]

We've got to seriously look at who isn't going to take us forward over the next 3 or 4 years and get rid of them.

Brutal but you have to be brutal to keep moving forward.

 

[dlanod]

You can see what Rayner can become...

 

[Nathan Barley]

Robbo on

its like comparing a river to the storm drain flowing into it. Those defending mistakes let in quite a few goals. but that 'river' of their easy i50's make those mistake negligible.

great analogy. woops

 

[Nathan Barley]

Rayner has been good in the second half

 

[alscotoz2]

Just remembered. At the tigers game when we were 5 or 6 goals up and the forwards huddled before the ball was bounced in the centre.

Daniher, Cameron, Hipwood, McCarthy, McStay, Rayner.

Thinking to myself, that's a lot of talent. How good?

Unfortunately, the game isn't played on paper.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

comeback 2: electric boogaloo.

it begins!

 

[KissKiss]

That doesn't sound good. Unusual for a player to be in tears a day the GMs to talk. sounds like something unpleasant happened

 

[mattsmob]

You can see what Rayner can become...

Needs to be given every chance to be a starting midfielder next to Neale next season

 

[braddsey]

For sure not Leppa but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that we need a big shake up. Be that head coach, assistants, players all of the above…

Time for a “full club review”?

Richmond went through some down before having a reckoning and turned it around.
Melbourne the same.

2022 feels the same for Brisbane, without dropping out of the top 8.

 

[MacMum]

What was that about.....Alan Richardson talking to Danny Daly etc....I missed it.

What’s this about mate?

 

[dlanod]

Robbo on

Berry subbed I believe

Just flicked back to hear it again - sounds like there was a previous discussion so who knows.

 

[KissKiss]

What’s this about mate?

Not sure. Commentators highlighted that one of the Melbourne players was in tears at the quarter break. Spoke to the coaches and then their GM called out our GM to talk
