Review Round 8, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast

[ZoBlitz]

Not sure what to say really.

Funny that the official teams page on the AFL.com.au hasn't picked up the late late change.

 

[braddsey]

Gutsy.

The Suns stunk it up, but you can’t take away from what the boys did without a bench.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Dunkley monsters the best oppo midfielder again.

 

[Tom14]

Accuracy and injury bad, everything else good. Not going to nitpick individual performances in those circumstances.

Suns abject. What a pack of losers.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Very impressive performance considering the circumstances. I'm going to pretend that it got real windy in the third quarter when thinking back on this game.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Harry Sharp, Kai Lohmann, Bruce Reville and Logan Morris.

Take a bow boys, sensational tonight in an injury filled game with little rotations they gave everything.

Great win considering the circumstances, gutted for Darcy & Linc.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Neale, Dunks, Andrews and Zorko were all enormous

Hard to only give 1 more vote. Thought Wilmot was really good as well

 

[MSB ROYS]

This has been one of the most gutsiest win in a long time (Suns weren't great though).

 

[Viceregal]

Certainly more options for top five this week!

 

[Nunez]

Not our best win under Fagan, but it was the win with the most heart, guts and determination. So proud of the boys for showing such resolve.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Some huge performances out there tonight. Happy for the team to get that win.

Nice to see some younger players out there.

Lohmann was fantastic, Zorko epic, Dunkley amazing and Andrews is just incredible.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

that run of 10 behinds (some rushed...) hurt my soul

but even worse was the injuries (especially to my favourite McCarthy )


a win is a win. can't take too much from that given the suns were deplorable, but I think our backs were amazing, the young guys did super well, and forgetting the trash accuracy, our forwards put in some effort tonight

 

[Squizz89]

So hard to describe how to feel after that game. Hard not to feel a sense of pride with what they dished up tonight. Injuries though man! Have you worked out how to take us back to the first quarter against Carlton yet BRAB ?

 

[KissKiss]

Certainly more options for top five this week!

Reckon 6 or 7 legitimately could be in. And then about 5 or 6 others I want to throw in for their massive effort

 

[Mayestro]

Good to see McKenna was serviceable tonight, which is a big step up from last week.

 

[rye]

they should be very proud of that win. took a lot of character to keep their heads up given the circumstances.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Good to see McKenna was serviceable tonight, which is a big step up from last week.

Still working his way back, he'll only get better

 

[p4p1]

Huge shout out to Morris who played VFL earlier in the day. Just to get through the game, with next to no bench is an achievement in itself.

 

[BRAB]

Extremely brave win after losing so many players early on.

Gutted for Linc and Gardiner. Linc especially enjoyed such a wonderful run without any major injuries.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

Andrews putting together a supreme year. Also I think his spoil = mark ratio is right on the spot.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Morris 1.3

He'll fit in well

 

[KissKiss]

Massively proud for me. Thats the effort and endeavour we've been missing all year. Leaders really stood up

Midfield stood up big time with some big efforts from the leaders. Neale was huge in the first half, gave everything to put us in a winning position. Dunkley shut down Rowell hard and was damaging himself. Berry was big, Sharp gave huge run and pressure all night. Clugg tried hard but couldnt quite put the icing on

Backline may have been almost as good. Andrews was another brickwall. On a young guy but dictated the backline. Payne and Lester did well on dangerous talls. Wilmot and McKenna did really well with the chaos of plans right out the window with their team mates out.

The young kids gave great energy. Lohman was massive, Reville had moments and then Morris was clearly buggered but tried hard. Love seeing the goal

Then there was Zorko. That was a monster of a game. Absolute leader who gave it all and provided so much drive from the backline

 

[braddsey]

that run of 10 behinds (some rushed...) hurt my soul

Didn’t hurt nearly as much as the runs of goals the opposition have had against us in previous weeks. At the we were in control of the ball to have 10 shots.

(But i get the sentiment).

 

[notliondown]

So good to see the young guys grab their chances...

Sharpie was really good, Cobra was good, Morris looked pretty dam good considering it was his second game and Bruuuuuce did everything he needed to.

Huge games by Dunks and Neale as well which will do them both a world of good.

Poor buggers were out on their feet but it'll be a game they can build confidence on given everything that happened tonight. Well done boys!!

 

[KissKiss]

Andrews putting together a supreme year. Also I think his spoil = mark ratio is right on the spot.

Right in All Australia discussion again.
