Game Day Round 23 Brisbane Lions vs Western Bulldogs @ Gabba

[jackess]

Great first half to that second quarter. Shame we stopped running/ got tired in the second half. Still did well to minimise the damage and would've been great for Jono to have kicked that last one.

I think Stef getting tired especially hurt. Lost our advantage in the ruck, his spread and wasn't running hard defensively.

 

[Substance]

hey guys, well played today. You've beaten us in every area but scoreboard so far, but you gotta let us coast the 2nd half pls. you want pick 1 don't ya? c'mon guyyyyyy

 

[SizeMatters]

Rich with 16 is a positive.

 

[askdotcom]

watching bontempelli closely i really don't see the fuss, he gets alot of little handballs to nowhere and doesn't really look that damaging.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Dawson at risk of being the best kick in our side after Rich. I would include Hanley in that normally but his kicking since he has come back from injury has been pretty ordinary.

 

[James North]

And this is over.

Wouldn't even bother with a game plan, just work on your skills - pathetic.

Too soon...

 

[James North]

Great turnaround - worth coming to the Gabba for.

 

[lionbear]

Comes down to can we use the heat o our advantage, we have the cattle, do we have the heart?

 

[lionshine]

The first half of that second quarter we played some real exciting footy. We attacked hard and got the reward on the scoreboard. Hopefully the boys come out firing in the second quarter in order to send Jed off with a win and avoid the spoon.

Go Lions!!

P.S. Jed has played well in the first half

I worry about Hanley's kicking a lot. He just has shocking irish lapses sometimes. Would love to see him run and carry more.

 

[Bucking Beads]

This is the frustrating thing. We are capable of good footy. The players gets the game plan but they just aren't able to execute it well enough. We should be much improved next season IMO.

 

[Cousin Jed]

The ease with which we cough up goals is incredible

 

[Nunez]

Cutler has made some errors, but he is working very hard and he has done some good things.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Half time show is also a bulldog lovefest! I don't give a #### about some plodder's family or their runner.

 

[Fitz Roy]

Cutler has made some errors, but he is working very hard and he has done some good things.

Single handedly arrested our momentum stuffing around with it in the back half. I can't see the fuss, turnover merchant.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

The commentators were warming for a Stringer lovefest but as he went cold they swapped to Bonts.

 

[Mayestro]

Fair effort so far by the lads after looking like a blow out early. We are smashing all the major stats including clearances, possessions, tackles, marks inside 50 and, for a change, frees. Our disposal efficiency is at 75% which really doesn't feel right.

 

[Monkey Daniel]

At half time we have 11 of the first 12 with the most possessions, more scoring shots but are behind
Normally a team with more scoring shots would eventually win the game

 

[Toffee Lion]

Rocky was huge there.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Adcock playing much better this week. Such a difference between the dogs and hawks.

 

[Simbatheking21]

BT isn't there to wank off over him

 

[Merv Burman]

Think Rockliff is up there as well, rarely turns it over, although obviously not as penetrating as someone like Rich.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Bundy does that too perfection.

 

[SizeMatters]

Rich needs to improve his recovery time. He gets pushed off the the ball or gets tackled he stays down far too long.

 

[jackess]

Bundys had a shocker. Looked like he injured himself last week and is struggling again.
