Review Round 4 - Port vs Brisbane

[ZoBlitz]

Geezus.

 

[James North]

FIRST LIEK!#!!!

 

[Schache It Off]

I feel sick, we are a laughing stock

 

[Lionator]

Pick one here we come.

 

[LionKing]

Rockliff 31 touches, 14 tackles then daylight, then the rest

 

[Dylan12]

I think in 05, Milne kicked 11 and we ended the season on a high note

Of course, it was 05, my bad.

Only second 100+ loss though in our merged history. Who'd have thought after our year last year that things have only got so much worse.

 

[James North]

Can't wait to hear the reaction when we bring another youngster in for the inured Hanley.

 

[Awhimaway]

Ouch...

It seems that the football gods are angry and still out for their pound of Lions flesh, my hope for this season has taken a battering the past few weeks but as a long time Lions supporter the one thing I know for sure is it will eventually turn around and we will start to see some glimpses of hope.

I said the other day it kinda feels like the late 90s again, and I think we have to accept that we are now in full rebuild
mode and need to play the kids (yes having more experience around them certainly helps), which means we will more than likely end up in the bottom few teams.

I will be here standing side by side with my Lions while trying to remain positive. I understand those of you who wish to stick the boot in when we are down, I know this is your way to vent your anger at the situation we find ourselves in yet again (and sometimes those of us who take the opposite point of view).

Anyway we are all in this boat together.

 

[SizeMatters]

so a draft watch thread is underway I presume? I honestly feel sick...

 

[Brisbane2013]

5 years of waiting for us to improve and we get this? should have kept vossy

 

[Lace Out]

Google Peter Wright.

It might lift your spirits in this dark time.

 

[Elixuh]

Extremely biased as I was against it for Melbourne but given the compromised drafts of the previous years it shouldn't be entirely discounted that some clubs may need some special assistance.

 

[iBeng]

Should have taken Pick 2 for Rockliff, begged GWS to let us have Boyd, and then prepared for a 3-4 rebuild around him as a Key Forward, with the 2-3 years of low finishes filling in a few replacements.

Who am I kidding, if we lost Rockliff we'd fold the next day.

 

[AFLQLD]

It isn't the end of the world. It may feel like it, but it isn't. Before too many sound the death knell, perspective is never a bad thing to have. Step back and look at how history treats these moments - a pothole on a journey. A year from now, things may look considerably better. They are unlikely to look worse. Two years from now this may be a story that gets told when we are moving up the ladder. Right now it sucks but anyone who remembers other dark days will know that they do end and things do get better.

Perspective.

So now that this side holds the club record of consecutive quarter losses with 16 as well as equalling Fitzroy's record of 16 back in 1963.

So a historic game if nothing else.

 

[Harris Specter]

Injuries. Sick of them.

Still love my team, Robbo is like a ferocious little puppy, needs to tidy up his disposal though. Cutler looked good and Rockliff was our lone warrior yet again.

Losing Leuenberger for the year will hurt though. It's reported to be a serious Achilles injury.

 

[jackess]

Is Leppa more like Terry Wallace or Mark Neeld?

 

[policegetthatman2]

i want to cry. not one winner today. rockliff had 1 in every 5 tackles we laid which is something. taylor will be a gun.

 

[sonofabeams]

Didn't Schultz kick 7 against lions at gabba maybe 3 years lined against Goose Maguire...

 

[Dr Noodles]

Google Peter Wright.

It might lift your spirits in this dark time.

Am I doing it right?

 

[MacMum]

So, am I right that we will be on the bottom of the ladder now that melbourne have won?....Carlton will be just above us as their % is better.

..oh joy!

 

[Lace Out]

Am I doing it right?

Yep.

 

[luthor]

Horrible, horrible day in our history.

Luey and Hanley going down just the icing on the cake.

Our injury list now looks like a hospital ward.

Those wanting the return of Raines and Goose look likely to get their wish. We're fast running out of alternatives.

 

[a mayes ing]

Is it possible that we could get a priority pick this season if we end up below than Melbourne.

 

[Dylan12]

So going back to 05 when we lost by 139 points, I'd have taken that view, but considering we're still waiting and let's be honest, we're even further off than ever before, I don't share your optimism.

We are farked.
