Game Day Round 3, 2016 - Geelong vs Brisbane Lions

[Tom14]

3 of our top 4 or 5 players out against a v strong midfield - all I want to see is good competition and effort. Not expecting us to be any closer than 5 goals.

 

[WA Lion]

Interesting stat on AFL site, Lions have generated a score from 37% of our clearances - second highest in the league

 

[Toffee Lion]

2.5 years later and the list is vastly different.

Black, Brown, McGrath, Staker, Moloney, Adcock, Patfull & Leuenberger.

A LOT of experience that made us competitive for a top 8 push.

Also had Yeo and Docherty playing well in the team and Redden.

Geez

 

[CarterS]

Commentators giving us a bit of a boost here.

 

[Harris Specter]

Average of 69 games for our team, geez, hang tough lads

Yep, take a double dose of perspective pills everyone.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Did Merrett just do a Cotchin?

 

[Hollow Knight]

That contested possession chart of the last 7 years was hard to take.

 

[BRAB]

Weak as piss Merrett

 

[Mooch]

That contested possession chart of the last 7 years was hard to take.

Very telling. The question is, what are we doing about it? If a crucial stat like that is going in the wrong direction for 8 straight years, something has to give.

Sure, the age an experience of the squad is a huge factor but ...

 

[Grizzly86]

Did Merrett just do a Cotchin?

Yeah...

Strap yourselves in folks, this may hurt a bit...

 

[Hollow Knight]

Dangerfield getting the best of Robinson early.

 

[theteamtobeat]

We win the toss and we go against the wind. Merrett you idiot.

 

[Elixuh]

Terrific from Bewick.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Good ball movement there. Run and gun.

 

[Harris Specter]

Great work by Bewick there

 

[BRAB]

BEWICK YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD

Spud kick though

 

[Mooch]

Too easy straight up the middle.

 

[Hollow Knight]

The wind is just going to carry those through for the Cats. Bet it shifts at quarter time too.

 

[Harris Specter]

Their rebound from defensive 50 was too easy, we need more forward pressure

 

[Ceebee]

Heads dropped already. Not a good look.

 

[Nunez]

Our disposals are looking horrid

 

[Mooch]

Our disposal is garbage at the moment. Actually it probably isn't even that good.

 

[Harris Specter]

Of course these maggots pay them against us

 

[Hollow Knight]

Lester's 1001st possession not one to remember.
