Game Day The Chronicles of Brisbania: The Lions, The Switch of Mackay to the Wardrobe

[xchadders]

glad we're winning. can't imagine this would be the result if we were playing anyone else

 

[Cap]

Both Brouch & Atkins using the ball poorly. Need to improve the quality of their disposals.

im not sure i agree.

both players have the ball under stupid amounts of pressure and have turned it over.

i still feel more confident in both of them than other players making right decisions.

 

[Footypie32]

I reckon Brad has been alright. Hope he has another gear, but think some are being overly harsh.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Jesus, I thought he was naked!

who?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Atkins at 50% de

Douglas at 42%

There's your problem right there

Doesn't even include the fumbles

 

[TheRoo32]

Seriously boggles the mind that Mackay was getting games ahead of Greenwood! Massive upgrade...

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

JJ with 4 goals today

I think he has Otten on notice

 

[skittlebrew]

Just wondering who can replace b crouch if his form continues?

an inanimate carbon rod

 

[Redleg Crow]

so swap dougie for wigg in a few weeks? who else? kelly for cheney? otten for jenkins, if he starts throwing his weight around?

Knight for Douglas surely?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Can we get any worse? Surely things improve from here!

Our forward line can't have Otten and Walker in it at the same time, They make Justin Madden look like Carl Lewis.

It could be worse - we could be well behind like last 2 weeks.

Right decision to drop JJ to find form, as we need him firing when back not the meh he has been since his return from injury.

Reckon we are missing Gov, as he bring different elements... though Greenwood has brought some of his own tonight.

 

[Barneythecrab]

Wigg for Hampton for a net gain of zero.

Really? Have you seen Wigg play at AFL level before?

 

[Niximus]

who?

I don't know who, they went to a shot of the Brisbane room and there was a guy in only his skin coloured compression shorts, sitting on a chair.

 

[Redleg Crow]

I reckon Brad has been alright. Hope he has another gear, but think some are being overly harsh.

Agree - would like more kicking, but it's not like he is "having a Douggie"

 

[MRB37]

Respectfully disagree at least two of his handballs have been goal assists

That's fine, but he's had 14 disposals, with only 3 contested, gained 50 metres on his touches, with just 1 tackle, 3 pressure acts and 1 clearance. Having 2 goal assists doesn't make up for the other 10 little dinky handballs he's done.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

im not sure i agree.

both players have the ball under stupid amounts of pressure and have turned it over.

i still feel more confident in both of them than other players making right decisions.

Both have turned the ball over under no pressure also... which is particularly annoying.

 

[crowded house]

Kelly's been a bit of a disaster and none of our Mids are damaging. Lucky we're taking our opportunities and Brisbane arent.

Don't get all the hate for Rat. Has been running both ways and trying to create. Skills let him down a few times, but without him we'd be even more anaemic in the centre.

 

[Rave Slave]

They look very different???

Disagree m8

 

[Redleg Crow]

I don't know who, they went to a shot of the Brisbane room and there was a guy in only his skin coloured compression shorts, sitting on a chair.

Well this was the ground where we got to see more of Henderson than we expected

 

[Scorpus]

I did the stats earlier today. Wigg kicks at 60% for a guy who gets 70% outside ball. Only marginally better kick than Brad Crouch who got double the inside ball

Oh and for the record, Menzel kicks at nearly 90% DE from similar uncontested numbers to Wigg

 

[NTRabbit]

too old I think, unfortunately

Liam Anthony board

 

[jaytex]

Nothing wrong with celebrating a good goal.

Do you want to remove all emotion?

Oh heck no. Just being an armchair psychologist.

 

[TheRoo32]

On first half form, Ratkins and Otten out for Knight and Jenkins next week

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Otten, Douglas, Kelly out
Jenkins, Knight, Doedee in

 

[DD#23]

Otten is a physical carbon copy of Walker but with half the skills. Hasn't offered anything as a forward, can't take a mark at all, and gets towelled up on the rebound.

Jenkins straight back in for mine. Otten is done.

I said his mobility would be a liability before Round 1, managed to cover it for 6 rounds but its a massive problem now.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Otten waaaay too pumped after that last goal. Tells me he's acutely aware he's on a knife edge re. JJ's eventual return.

Or he's one of the great team guys we have and is happy we got another goal.
He's a ripper Otto, would give his spot in the team in a GF if it meant the club was guaranteed the win.
