Review Round 9, 2020 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

[Hollow Knight]

Take a bow Robbo.

The way you turned your career, life and reputation around is inspirational.

What a feel good story.

 

[Chezz]

Best we've played all season! The inclusions were all fantastic. And we started kicking straight

 

[Jivlain]

Great performances from the ins - particularly CEY, and Answerth and Witherden played like they preferred spending time in te seniors. Some decent signs from Skinner and Ballenden too. Answerth did a proper number on AMT, good to see he's lost none of his defensive edge.

Noticed a fair few defensive pressure efforts from Robbo and Berry. I'd be surprised if I don't see a few 1%ers in their columns when I get the full stats.

Votes: Neale, CEY, Witherden, Answerth, Cameron.

 

[Hirsty23]

Well that couldn't have gone any better, have a good weekend legends, cheers

If it wasnt for J Lyons I'd say he's just about the best delisted pickup in the last decade or two.

Anyone think of any better than those two?

Answerth destroyed Tippa and
Had an impact around the ground, no way he could be dropped

Getting a bit emotional seeing Skinner celebrate out there, I hope he gets a bloody good run at it, he really deserves it.

Those watching Foxfooty.....get over to Ch7 now.....Zorks doing a roaming Zorks in the rooms after this ad which is nearly over!

 

[Toffee Lion]

Neale, Cameron, Answerth, Witho & Linc were my 5. (Honoury 6th would have been Robbo for his 200th).

How about that from Noah & Alex though. Both on the outer but came in when they were called and put on BOG-type performances.

Neale & Cameron are the best 2 man punch we've had since Black & Browny.

And finally, we're easily the best team in the competition when all pistons are firing.

Best thing about this game was seeing the boys who came in step up and look at home. We're building some great depth.

 

[jackess]

Went with Neale, Lyons, Cameron, Witherden and Answerth

Rayner and reliable in the same sentence in a game day post - times have definitely changed around here

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Already watched the song about 5 times

OMG!!!

Eddie whinging about the hub on cue

For reals? What's his argument now?

 

[kylegee28]

I hope Townsend? gets suspended for sliding into a dead contest with his knees in the second quarter.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

We nearly had more free kicks than they did points

 

[CarterS]

For reals? What's his argument now?

Hardly winging he just said we have an advantage in that we can sleep in our own beds at the moment, maybe i missed something else

 

[luthor]

Answerth and Witherden were sensational.

Lachie was Lachie and probably gets the 3 Brownlow votes

Gave my other votes to Charlie and Berry.

Rayner was excellent and Skinner worked hard up to the wings and gave us a target for the outlet kicks especially in the second half.

I was nervous at half time but totally relaxed at 3/4 time.

I do enjoy belting the Bombers

And so does my uncle

 

[Jivlain]

Usual stuff about what an advantage it is that clubs don't have to be constantly flying, sleeping in their own beds the night before/after games, etc

He's close to having a revelation but I have full faith he'll shy away at the last moment

Still, hope you give him a good belting just for being an uncle

 

[Berry Picker]

Tippa kicked 6 against us last time, answerth took him apart tonight. Witho and answerth were faultless

Ah. Considering they left VIC what, 5 times last year? Must be tough on them to not be the centre of the footy world for the first time.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Ballenden - "the boys played like a pack of hungry dogs"

 

[jjami15]

Not to be a Debby (apologies to all Debbys) but Ballenden and Skinner are a concern but early days and not sure there is the depth there that some here think. On the flip of that I was really impressed by Answerth and Witherden, great game by both and feel very confident with them back there.
