Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon Bombers

[McLeod23]

Lets get ready to rumble.

Should be a good game, both teams looking to hit back after last year.

Both teams will do a hell of a lot better this season than in 2005, IMHO.

Great to have footy back.

[roostersgal4eva]

absolutly!!!!

GO LIONS!!!!

[Smokin_Joe]

Glad to have the footy back :D

Lets hope for a great game and no injuries to both sides.

GO DONS !

[Syd Kennets]

bah not paying our super goal.

[CammoAU]

I like the look of Mitch Clark. Nothing pretty in how he goes about it, but the 2nd and 3rd efforts, and the tank to get to a contest is very impressive.

This rookie listed bloke in Harding isn't too bad either. Bradley is looking very ominious too.

Lovely first touch for Campo too :D :D :D

They're showing "my big fat greek wedding" I think. I was speaking to someone at the Lions today who was telling me they petitioned ch9 to show it into Brisbane seeing as it was 'live against the gate' on the Gold Coast - but 9 wouldn't have a bar of it.

[*Danni*]

Lions 'super goal' - kicked from 5 meters out LOL

Was from a free kick & 50m penalty awarded outside 50 - so it's counted as a supergoal!

Oops was kicked by Merrett I think.

[*Danni*]

Nice Supergoal.... who kicked it in from outside?

It wasn't. Free kick with 50m penalty awarded to Merrett from outside 50. He only kicked it from 5m out - but counted as goal kicked from where free was first awarded.

[Chezwick]

Judging by the nice little thing AFL.com.au, that was one hell of a goal. Good work Clarkey!!!!

[*Danni*]

im sorry :(


Don't be!! It's my grouchy nature tonight I think. After spending so much time with them all, now not seeing anyone for 2 weeks and trying to adjust to 'life after footy' I'm really struggling tonight. Like everytime the radio commentators say 'Rog' to Roger Merrett in the box, I keep thinking they're about to say something about Daniel Merrett. I'm just really really really struggling!!

[*Danni*]

Half Time

Bombers - 49
Lions - 41

[roostersgal4eva]

try meditating during half time...see if that works

[TheBrownDog]

Snuck a quick look at the scores (I'm at work).

3 goals to Mitch Clark in a half :D :D :D :D

[Chezwick]

Fairly decent half for both teams, just judging from the stat sheets.

Lions outscored Bombers in that last quater. Hope the momentum keeps up in the second half :thumbsu:

[*Danni*]

try meditating during half time...see if that works


Hehe not going to work! For someone who is feeling 'footyed out' in general, I've certainly got my spark back tonight! Funnily enough if it was on tv I probably wouldn't be as anxious to see it as I am now that it isn't on!!

Half Time
Score: Essendon lead by 8 points.
Venue: Carrara

ESSENDON:
Stanton (9 point), Lucas 2, Lloyd, M Johnson, Monfries, Lovett

BRISBANE LIONS:
Merrett (9 point), Clark 3, Wood

Live report - quarter 2
The Bombers went forward first after Stanton received a free kick in the centre, but Voss was given a free kick off half back and they rebounded.
The Bombers then had a chance to kick for goal, with Lovett receiving the ball inside 50. But he was tackled as he kicked and a free kick was paid against him for holding the ball.

Brisbane had the next shot on goal with Brennan kicking across his body, but Fletcher was able to spoil and the ball went over for a behind.

Lovett-Murray then combined with Bolton to kick the Bombers inside 50, but Michael was able to spoil over Lloyd for a throw in.

Lovett-Murray was again involved in the action as he passed to Lloyd, who marked this time at half forward. He passed to Peverill who kicked inside 50 to McVeigh, who marked 40m out. His kick went across the face of goals for a behind.

Brisbane then went forward and received a 50m penalty for late contact in the marking contest, bringing him to only a few metres out from goal. Merrett kicked the goal which was awarded as a super goal because the original mark was taken outside 50.

Then some great hard work by McVeigh set up Lucas for his second goal of the night. It was kicked off by Monfries in the pocket, who got the ball across to McVeigh in the centre. He in turn got the ball to Lucas who snapped from only 15m out.

The Lions then went forward with Merrett kicking for goal from outside 50m. But his kick went across the face for one behind.

Brisbane then went forward again and marked through Clark. He kicked his second goal from only metres out to bring Brisbane back within 7 points.

The game then tightened up considerably, with both sides unable to break free.

But it was Brisbane who lined up for goal next, after Slattery was caught holding the ball only 30m out from goal. Thankfully the shot for goal was a poor one, and Brisbane only scored one behind.

Brisbane were getting on top, as they again went forward and marked through Clark. He went back and kicked his third goal of the game.

Brisbane went forward once more, but Fletcher was able to win the ball back for the Bombers. Watson then won a free kick in the centre and kicked to Welsh at half forward. He in turn went long to Lloyd in the goal square who was able to handball quickly to Lovett, who then kicked his first goal. It was a steadier the Bombers needed.

The Bombers appeared to have lifted after that goal, and followed it up with another shot on goal through Lloyd. He picked up the ball 40m out and snapped a quick shot over his shoulder, but it bounced through for a behind.

The Dons had one more shot on goal for the quarter with Lovett-Murray getting a quick shot away before the siren sounded for half time.

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

Poor 2nd quarter from the Dons.

[mantis]

Thanks Mantis!

No probs, here's the 1st qtr report.


Live report - quarter 1
The Bombers were the first to go into attack, but Lucas gave away a handball to the Lions and they rebounded.
They went into attack and the Bombers rushed through the first behind of the night, which under the new rules was three points to Brisbane.

The Bombers then ran the ball out of defence to half forward, but Heffernan was unable to find a target and the Lions went back into attack. They had a long shot for goal through Keating, but he could only score a behind.

The Bombers then got some play going with Camporeale finding Lovett at half forward. He kicked to Stanton in the goal square but he couldn’t mark. Camporeale then picked up the ball and had a banana shot for goal, which went through for a behind.

A good mark by Bradley at half back kicked off some good play by the Bombers. But the Lions were winning at half back as well, and they went back inside 50. Brennan passed to Clark who kicked the first goal to the Lions.

The Bombers went forward from the next centre bounce and responded immediately with a great goal to Stanton. He ran to about 60m our and booted a terrific goal on the run. It was clearly a super goal, but not paid by the umpires.

Another great mark to Bradley off half back was also followed up with a 50m penalty for interference in the marking contest. But his kick to Lloyd at half forward was a poor one, and the Lions rebounded.

Then the new recruit Camporeale was able to get a quick kick inside 50 and found Lloyd on the long lead. He kicked for goal from 40m out and booted his first of the match.

The Bombers were full of running as Heffernan bounced his way around the wing, and then passed perfectly to Mark Johnson in the forward pocket. He went back and kicked the goal to give the Bombers the early lead.

Essendon again pressed forward from the centre bounce, and it was followed up with McVeigh kicking inside 50 to Lucas. He marked on the lead, and Lucas was pushed after the mark and so received a 50m penalty under the new rules. He proceeded to kick the goal from directly in front and extend the Bombers lead.

Brisbane then went into attack and received a free kick for a push against Lovett-Murray, and Wood kicked his first goal for Brisbane.

The Bombers then put together a great passage of play, kicked off by a very good second effort by Lucas on the wing. He got the ball to McVeigh, who in turn kicked long inside 50 to Lloyd. Lloyd tapped the ball on to Monfries who then kicked his first goal of the night.

Brisbane then had the next shot on goal with a long kick from Brennan outside 50. His kick was a good one, but it hit the post for one behind.

The siren then sounded for quarter time, with the Bombers taking the honours in the first term.

Pre-match report: The Bombers have finalised their team, with Andrew Lee, Richard Cole, Dean Rioli and Tristan Cartledge out of the squad. Brisbane will also be without Ashley McGrath and Daniel Bradshaw. It is a warm night tonight, but not as hot as it can get up here in Brisbane.

Live report - quarter 3
Watson put the Bombers into attack first up, and Camporeale booted the ball long to the pocket where it went out of bounds. Brisbane then went into attack where Brennan kicked long for goals and slotted it through for his first goal.
Brisbane again went forward put a big punch from Fletcher forced the ball through just for one behind.

New recruit Paddy Ryder then found Lucas on the long lead, who marked just inside 50m. He went back and kicked his third goal of the game to answer the Lions first goal of the second half.

Brisbane were the next to attack, but it was short-lived as the Bombers streamed out of defence. McVeigh then kicked inside 50 towards Lloyd, but the ball was forced out for a throw in.

Hille then passed inside 50 to Stanton, who marked 35m out on a 45 degree angle. He could only manage one behind with his kick.

The Bombers then moved the ball well into attack, but Brisbane were able to spoil at the right time and rebound. But the Dons kept coming, as Lloyd and Lovett-Murray did well to get the ball going forward.

After Brisbane briefly went forward through Power, it was the Bombers who scored the next goal through Camporeale. He received the ball from Lucas just inside 50, and he calmly slotted through his first goal for Essendon.

The Dons kept the momentum going, as Stanton lined up for goal next after receiving the ball from Camporeale. But his kick was away to the right for one behind.

The Bombers were full of running, with Slattery kicking inside 50 toward Lloyd. He couldn’t mark, but Camporeale was there to pick up the crumbs and snap a quick shot on goal. It was just off target for one behind.

McVeigh then marked from the kick in and passed inside 50 to Lloyd in the pocket. He marked and kicked for goal from a very tight angle, and his kick was picked up by Lovett. He kicked over his shoulder for goal, but it missed for one behind.

Essendon kept up the forward pressure with another foray forward, but this time the ball was rushed through for a behind.

The Dons had some late opportunities to score, but eventually the siren sounded with Essendon taking a 17 point lead into the final quarter.

[*Danni*]

Oh, whats wrong, no KFC in Brisbane? :p

Crikey Eddie - poor effort. You could have at the very least got the location right. Gold Coast.

Now run along and annoy somewhere else like a good little chap hey?

[eddiesmith]

Brisbane, Gold Coast who cares?

Trying to work out which game is better, I mean the 2 better teams are playing on Fox while the 2 ******** teams are fun to laugh at

[eddiesmith]

How embarrasing for Brisbane, sure its only the NAB cup but with that side to lose to Essendon is embarrassing :o

[*Danni*]

Haha!!
