Didn't watch the entire game but from what I saw Bernie Vince was terrible with crucial turn overs.

Him and 21 other blokes

Gee Brisbane have some exciting young talent! They are good to watch. Definitely on the way back up the ladder.

untill their players won't to go home again.

Monster switch-on by Brisbane in the final quarter, matched by an escalating skills implosion by Melbourne.

Great win by the lions, they where always going to win once they hit the front, Melbourne just don't know how to attack.

Melbourne fans deserve better than this.
Losing by less is not progress when you play like that.

Poxy game though to be honest. Apologies to you all for the part we played in it, but I think Roosy contributed heavily.

Well generally players are attracted to stay by the promise of success. When the last lot left Brisbane were a shambles still reeling from the stupid mistakes Voss made. Leppa seems to have the place in order, players are performing like they believe and are playing for each other. I reckon they are over the hump and should be able to retain their talent.

Almost certain Bernie Vince cost them the game with that turnover. Had 2 team mates running towards goal and he kicked it straight to a lions player. Up 13 at that stage, huge chance for a goal and very healthy lead which the lions would have found hard to come back from. Lions pulled it to 7 not long after. Game changer.

50th game

Anyone got a crowd figure? Melbourne, Brisbane, Etihad and the AFL have all not tweeted it which is ominous.

Celebrating a member of your team taking cheap shots..... riiiiiight.

Was I? Here I was thinking I was posting an ugly derp photo to encapsulate an ugly derp game.

Pretty sure I posted earlier in the thread saying Merrett needs a holiday. Had a decent 4th quarter though did Sauce.

You dont many games of footy kicking at 25% in front of goal.

Bad kicking is bad footy.

Paul Roos and Ross Lyon would be having a lot of 'front on pressure' from watching this game, 40-30 at 3/4 time, good lord...

Why the hell would Ross Lyon be under any pressure watching Melbourne and Brissie.

You really are a clown

I think you missed the joke, and the point.

Hint: "front on pressure" was a euphemism.

Urghh ! Am so used to Clanger s**t canning Freo I immediately took it for granted, plus I didn't watch the whole game only tuned in for the second half.
For some reason I took it as a slight on the scoring ability of Melbourne.

Time for a wild turkey to ease into the Pies-Port game, should be a ripper.

Lyon had a hard on over this game and was rigorously cranking it

Worst game of footy I have attended in long time. As a Melbourne member. Was a laugh watching how poor both teams were for 3 quarters.
