Game Day Round 18, 2014 - Brisbane Lions vs. Gold Coast Suns

[Dylan12]

Would have liked to have won that last quarter, but anyway.

Great win.

 

[SizeMatters]

Great game dominated from the get go.

 

[Schache It Off]

~27,500

Good crowd!

 

[pulpdriver]

Well, that was awesome. Hopefully we can take that form across a few more games.

 

[alscotoz2]

Didn't follow second half but well done boys.

Goodbye 2 metre Peter

 

[piari]

Well done Lions.

Leppa's game plan is starting to pay dividends.

Great team effort.

 

[Ceebee]

New club record of 46 disposals.

Well done Rocky!

Deserves more accolades does our Rocky.
Very underated.

 

[blueiris]

Well done Hanley on winning the Ashcroft Medal

Not necessarily. Melbourne would probably be looking at Petracca, GWS needs defenders more than forwards and Saints will probably take McCartin at this stage. There's still plenty of talls and we'll still have a high pick. A few more wins isn't going to interfere with us getting a good kid.

 

[Nunez]

Close looks dominating. With more experience he will be a very good KPF

Definitely not a bad way for Rocky to keep himself in AA selectors eyes after having an MRP holiday.

46 touches (18 contested), 11 clearances, 9 tackles, 5 marks, 3 each of inside/rebound 50s and a goal. Shows how much we missed him against the Eagles!

Plus, while I know we need a KPF, give me this feeling any day.

Wouldn't be so sure. If we end up with pick 4 or 5 we have a good chance to nab him and I expect us to. Melbourne would want Petracca, Saints would take McCartin and GWS would take Durdin for example. Not overly keen on taking Wright with a top 2 pick but for a 4 or 5 pick he is the best fit.

 

[Kevvo]

Good to see Close playing as the stay at home forward and Merrett chopping out in the ruck. I think at this point that suits us best, and Close really worked into the game in the 4th where previously he's been stuffed.

He's got a great physique for a 6'5 19 year old. Will be a great size. Definitely needs to work on his legs some more and sort out his goal kicking but he's looking a more and more likely prospect every week. Add his immense running power and there's a lot of promise.

 

[jackess]

Who needs Rich, Reddo, Beamer and Leuey when we have rocky, Hanley and stef.

Definitely. Hoping to feel it again a few more times and particularly when we play Collingwood in a few weeks.
