Review Round 9, 2020 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

[ZoBlitz]

Well if we lose, only four days to feel bad about it...

 

[jackess]

Fagan soaking it in

Team effort

We had 5 less inside 50s!

 

[Toffee Lion]

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Essendon were gushing tonight.

Well done Robbo on 200, we bloody did you proud tonight mate!

 

[Sausages]

Nice to have a big win

 

[dlanod]

Well if we lose, only four days to feel bad about it...

And if we don't lose, no time to savour it.

 

[Jivlain]

The last time we've tripled an opponent's score was against GWS in 2012, in their debut season.

 

[Saucery]

More depth than a black hole

 

[iBeng]

I dont think I saw Big O ruck again after his fall? Skinner did some rucking in the last...could be a concern.

Otherwise, damn, thats the type of game we've needed to show for a while. Apart from the second quarter. All the boys coming in played damn well. Witherden and Answerth are awesome down there, Skinner and Bellenden(SP?) were great and CEY helps give us some body in the middle. Love it!

 

[Elixuh]

Death, taxes and Chris Fagan sitting on the bench at the end of the game looking like we lost by 100.

 

[iBeng]

Lowest Essendon score this century as well.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Slaughtered them.

 

[StevoJenkins]

I know it’s early days, but is ballendon still soft? Loved seeing Skinner around the ground - made for a good McStay replacement and did some things better. Also CEY was good. Best performance so far.

But no goal from Robbo )

 

[dlanod]

I dont think I saw Big O ruck again after his fall? Skinner did some rucking in the last...could be a concern.

He got back up and made the next contest in our defensive 50, but that was him done. I hope it was just precautionary.

 

[TyEdwards27]

After a pretty quiet first half both Ballenden and Skinner came into their own. Both looked a lot more comfortable in the second half. Hopefully they get a chance next week to build on this win

 

[Back2Back2Back]

I really hope we can bounce back after running out a game like that.

 

[Lions99991]

Alright, i'll shut up

 

[PTizzle]

Answerth and Witherden undroppable on that form. Bloody good, both of them.

Great to get a strong win, especially when it's against Essendon.

 

[Athlonxp]

Great game
From watching it on the tv I quite liked Answerths game, Neale great as always too.
Didn’t mind Skinner and Ballenden’s game as well.
Would love to see them get another game or two

 

[iBeng]

He got back up and made the next contest in our defensive 50, but that was him done. I hope it was just precautionary.

Could be a concern...It'll be down to Skinner and Bel as our rucks...Will wait and actually see though of course.

Also we are two games clear on the second place, Richmond 6 points behind!

 

[jackess]

Oscar had the least time on ground and it look liked our mids rotated forward quite a lot

Looks like an effort was made to rest a few

 

[FLVanLandingham]

Good game, and again grats to Robbo for his milestone! I think he defensive work tonight was pretty great, didn't get on the scoreboard but I think 2 goal assists?

Our ins did really well I think. CEY Witho and Answerth all had a massive impact (literally in CEY's case what a great tackle). Ballenden and Skinner showed a lot more in the 3rd and 4th.

Cameron best game in a few weeks, Neale sublime. Berry was really good after his brain fade last week. Big O was solid all night, I really hope hes not badly injured.

Hippy needs a kick up the rear. Hopefully the inclusion of other big boys fires him up as they are showing him up.

Onto the Tigers!

 

[iBeng]

Answerth and Witherden undroppable on that form. Bloody good, both of them.

Great to get a strong win, especially when it's against Essendon.

I was a bit perplexed we didnt play Answerth from the get go this season. Could he keep at least Lester out? Rich maybe in for Ah Chee...

 

[jackess]

Eddie whinging about the hub on cue

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Essendon not sticking around to clap off the 200 gamer? That's a bit average.

 

[jackess]

I was a bit perplexed we didnt play Answerth from the get go this season. Could he keep at least Lester out? Rich maybe in for Ah Chee...

I think he does unless we need some height

Would be harsh on Ah Chee but probably the best for the team
