Roast Rd 22, 2014 - Brisbane Lions vs Fremantle - Vent Thread

[John]

You're thinking of Fraser

Crimso is more Bribie.

 

[radiotron]

It would just be nice to get the rub of the green at our home ground maybe once a year.

I reckon we got it against Carlton?

but yeah Sandilands was holding Stef all bloody day

 

[_hyphy]

Handballs to a teammate under more pressure rather than taking the responsibility to kick it were doing my head in. I don't know whether to blame the hand baller or the player calling for it so short with an opposition player on their hammer.

Crisp needs to tidy up in this area, his decision making was quite poor today. 3 incidents today where his turn-overs resulted in goals to Freo.

Nah that last quarter v Carlton was a bit of an even-up. The previous 3 quarters were quite flowing for Carlton.

Quite a number of dud performances from the OPSM-sponsored specialists at home. As I yelled a few times - they should've gone to Specsavers.

 

[Ceebee]

Sand islands always watches the other ruck at the center bounce before putting his arm out to shepherd.

Well he is nine foot tall.sand islands

 

[POBT]

Crimso is more Bribie.

Who did Bribie play ruck for?

 

[alscotoz2]

Too many handballs, questionable decision making at times. Thankfully both can be addressed.

 

[John]

Who did Bribie play ruck for?

Melany?

 

[Haso]

Then again, we may as well just accept performances like today and against the Crows.

That's clearly what I meant. You're obviously very good at interpreting my posts and not at all prone to narrow or black and white thinking.

 

[Skoob]

Geez, how many times do we have 2 of our players go up for a spoil, crash into each other and fall over while their opponent runs away with the ball?

 

[Big Sauce 21]

hospital hand passes was high on my list. pressure crumbled the boys

 

[Betty Noir]

Wow Freo were awsome.... play that well without a couple of stars and they'll win the grand final. Walters is a freak

Dunno, I reckon a fit and firing Hawthorn would play keepings off with them. Geelong and Port* for that matter too.


(*with their "A" game that is)

You can see what Leppa is trying to do with the run at all costs, but they just arent good enough to do it ...yet. But it was butchered forward,centre and back. At least they fought back after half time.

 

[Fatcat08]

I was much happier (relative term, I'm not actually happy as such) with this week's loss than the adelaide game. We were overawed early and panicked a lot however we fought back and almost broke even in the second half which is a good sign that we were able to knuckle down a bit more. Agree with previous that it shows we still have some way to go to be able to execute our gameplan under pressure. I was happy we were able to adjust though and limit the damage.

They steadied third quarter, but the defensive lapses and giving up multiple goals in very short amounts of time is a worry. Im not pointing the finger at the defence either, we get smacked in clearances and cant seem to stem it, it goes into the opposition forward line on a platter.

 

[growler]

The woman who sits three rows in front of us screeching insults at the boys better than any opposition supporter I've ever heard

You're clearly wasting your talents. You should be in the entertainment industry.

There's a chappie sits a few rows behind me who starts carping and whining about individual players if things are not going all that well for the team (which has been often, in recent years ). His fave whipping boys are Merrett and Moloney, although other individuals can randomly incur tongue lashings as well.

He's not a bad guy otherwise but it always puzzles (and disappoints) me when certain "supporters" vent their frustrations by singling out individual players for verbal abuse as though the teams' woes are all their fault.

I feel much more at peace when I engage in the traditional form of scapegoating........."SCREW YOU UMPIRE!!!!!!"

 

[patfullfankezz]

I've had to move seats because of one fans hatred of Joel, Jed and Sauce.

 

[Mr Ripper]

The absence of a readable scoreboard at the school end.

Years ago we sat in a different section and there was a couple who sat next to us. We'd jokingly argue on the way to the game who would get stuck sitting next to her. She hurled abuse at the team at every mistake. Even called Leppa a "useless ****ing ranga" one day. Gave her a death glare and enquired as to whether she actually was a Lions fan. Wonder if she's still sitting in section 52?

Can't believe there's anyone bagging JP. I always feel super confident when he's near the ball. Saucy maybe not so much

Yeah James, Pete Murray called and said he had some work if you were interested.

Sounds like a real opportunity for a young up & comer. Would even be worth offering services for nix.

 

[luthor]

LOL.

JN's shameless self promotion drawing a predictable response.
