Game Day Round 8, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

[KissKiss]

Suns players running about 20 metres before kicking off from full back.

That rule is just getting stretched more and more each week. Reckon someone could get to the 50 before they pay it

 

[MSB ROYS]

It's seems stupid to say but I would have loved 2 goals 7 behinds that quarter! Bring it home Lions!

 

[Johnny Bananas]

If we hold on tonight, i’m not complaining. We’re allowed a mulligan on goal-kicking considering the injury issue. Just keep control and pepper away at the goals.

What does injury have to do with goalkicking if the injured players aren't the ones taking shots?

 

[alscotoz2]

i'll take that finish

gotta get the first in the next though

Getting the first in the last shouldn't be necessary

What does injury have to do with goalkicking if the injured players aren't the ones taking shots?

Lack of rotations = tired legs = poor set shots.

Still, it's a copout and largely an issue that has been prevalant for a long time now.

They are sad Johnny. Not everyone is as mentally strong as you. They are tired and miss their friends.

 

[lionshine]

I’ll give it a pass due to the injuries but with 9 behinds that quarter you can add another goalless quarter to the 2024 tally. Frustrating.

 

[martinson]

We just need to keep going as we have.

Can't see them kicking more than 6 this quarter to win it. The only time they look like scoring is when we make a blue and they get it over the back and even then they look lack lustre.

We'll have a few tired boys after this game but we've kept the pressure up all game tonight and that's encouraging.

Honestly Im pretty proud of this effort no matter what happens now. This has been the attitude and effort that has been missing way too often.

Neale, Zorko, Berry leading massively from the middle putting in a mountain of work. Andrews, Payne and Lester have been huge defensively and cut so much off. And then guys like Lohman showing so much energy

Would've practically sealed the game

 

[TheMan_Bun]

No bench. Young Suns side who threatened to run over us. Ended up winning contested possessions by 5 and clearances by 2.

We didn’t kick a goal, but we stopped Suns enthusiasm when it looked like they were going to get a run on. That’s a win considering recent performances.
(Having said that, we better hold on for the win at this point!).

Fatigue

I mean our worst culprit is playing his second game today

 

[Big Sauce 21]

6 ACL's at the gabba in under a year ?

 

[Harris Specter]

Rayner with another nothing game. Not really doing anything.

 

[KissKiss]

Definitely rotating guys forward a lot. Think Berry started forward

 

[FLVanLandingham]

thats some nice pressure there, jsut gotta make this next entrance work

 

[Nathan Barley]

Harsh on Neale but Dunkley could be BOG

 

[Bucking Beads]

Umpires taking the piss again

I’m willing to overlook the bad kicking of they do enough in other parts of the game to win.

 

[Warwick]

Crying out for Rayner to take control in a game like this.

Is he there??

 

[Bucking Beads]

The first year player can do that but our experienced guys will spray one from right in front.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Bit clumsy

 

[KissKiss]

God its annoying how many easy shots we miss but teams just nail shots from outside 50 every week
