Game Day Round 4, 2015 - Brisbane Lions vs West Coast

[SizeMatters]

One thing you cannot call Justin Clarke is an idiot.

EDIT: I'm looking for the positive in anything. That was just plain stupid.

He's an idiot for wanting to play for the Lions.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I wouldn't go watch us play if the tickets were free. Sure we have injuries and are lacking experience but that doesn't excuse the shit they are dishing up.

 

[lions27]

Golby and NRobbo have been ok. Cutler has improved as the game wears on.
Do we have any senior players out there?

 

[JasperBeardly]

Disposal numbers are similar but inside 50s are 29-54. We've given up 54 inside 50s in 3 qtrs of footy. That is atrocious.

 

[LIONS08]

Clarke does that once or twice a game, where he looks like he has absolutely no awareness of what's around him.

It's not awareness, it is the guys around him not talking to him.

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Clarke has had to work waaaay harder than what a defender should. He has put in all game. Not going to shoot him for that one.

I'm pissed off at the guys missing the set shots.... Soul destroying working so hard for zero reward time in time out.

 

[Corrupt_]

When do we play in Adelaide? May as well leave Aish there, they can have him for free.

All too familiar sadly. We're excellent at burning inside 50 entries and letting them grab them up the other end.

These three are probably the only positives to come out of the game. Nice to get another game into Andrews as well, but obviously still has a fair way to go.

I preface this with saying I am a QLD AFL fan and was a member at the Lions for a number of years from the late 90's. I watch all Brisbane games.

Can anyone suggest what qualities these players bring to the team.
Aish - Don't really understand the wraps. Slow, skills are ok but doesn't win much ball. Doesn't kick goals. He is courageous. What role does he play in 3-4 years? Average midfielder at best? If I was Brisbane I'd try and trade him. Swap for Jenkins?
Golby - Slow, terrible skills, often gives away stupid free kicks, defensive attributes ok but by no means able to lock down on the best smalls in comp.

To me they just seem don't seem to bring anything really positive.

 

[Bert Man]

He's an idiot for wanting to play for the Lions.

That makes me the dumbest bloke in Australia

 

[a mayes ing]

Has Green, our best runner apparently, had a touch yet since being subbed on?

 

[BrizzyBandit]

- Nick Roberston has been good.
- Drop Redden next game. Terrible decision making with ball in hand and no effort.
-Aish won't enjoy his footy when he's out of form. He'll leave us. It'll piss me off when he fires for his next team.
-Cutler showing a lot. We just need a boy in attAck and defence.

 

[jackess]

Shocking free but why wasn't it 50?

 

[Bert Man]

How is that against Martin?

 

[a mayes ing]

Whats the difference between that and the other?

 

[jackess]

Stef has been good. Definitely better than NicNat.

 

[Monterronaldo]

I think cutler has played himself into form over the course of this game.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Cutler has turned it around massively. Credit to the kid.

 

[jackess]

We've got his quarter. It's in the bag.

 

[jackess]

Shocking umpiring.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I think cutler has played himself into form over the course of this game.

He looks really good. A class option for us on the half back flank. Need to clean up disposals though.

 

[KissKiss]

So many easy misses

 

[Lockie]

Don't know what's worse the game or having to listen to Dwayne Russell comments.

3 out of 4. Redden's be OK (just OK, but far from worst).
The other 3 points are spot on though. Especially the point about Aish firing at his next club. Watching Yeo's game makes me angry.
