[ZoBlitz]

Pretend I said something witty here.

I think you're giving us too much credit. Unless you're advocating it, in which case I don't know that it matters.

Actually pretty hard to pick the votes this week.

Thought we didn't play too poorly. Rucks were great. Midfield was solid.

Where's Adcock's send off? His last ever milestone and all he gets is a few claps?

(Harvey is the rod)

 

[Cousin Jed]

Competed well after quarter time. Got flogged. All for nought if you can't find a way to effectively dispose of the ball to get it inside 50

 

[Lace Out]

Looked small again

 

[Dom PC]

I love Lewy Taylor. That kid just runs and runs. Didn't have a great 1st quarter. But that just made him run harder.

I hope we can make the 2015 top 5 list

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Massive props to Brisbane for setting up the guard of honour.

Probably the last thing you feel like doing after a loss but the class shown was noticable.

Bravo lions.

 

[Harris Specter]

Just a numb feeling, I guess we're now getting used to these kinds of results. Our list is in a pretty bad shape. Thought Mayes, Robinson and the two ruckmen were one of the best tonight. Squizzy runs all day and never gives up, but he's got to work on his awareness in stoppages and what's going on around him.

Dark times, I felt I was watching a Carara game in 1989.

 

[SizeMatters]

At the end of the day the difference between us and North were the umpires.

 

[jackess]

We've played one good game all year. We were never a change tonight against a team just outside the eight. The season for us was over a month ago. The rest is meaningless.

 

[carnthemlions]

We really weren't as bad as it looks on the scoreboard tonight. The Stefanburger combo beat Goldstein, so there's that. Loved seeing Leuenberger bursting out of the centre square a couple of times.

The players are down on confidence, but the effort was there. The frustration was really noticeable toward the end too. Woeful umpiring didn't help.
A frustrating night for everyone, really. Terrible for the supporters, dispiriting for the players and not a lot to be overly optimistic about for North there either.

 

[HowYouDoin]

Could have won the game if it wasn't for inaccurate kicking.

Dont really agree with this type of sentiment tbh. If we pick up Schache/Weitering and a Dixon/Henderson type in the off season we will be a completely different side. With a reasonable run with injuries next year our midfield depth should really start to shine.
I think our form is more the symptom of the perfect storm type of year rather than a really flawed list.

 

[Schache It Off]

Glad to see mayes have a good game though

 

[charles202]

Thought Mayes was great. Seriously our injury list is the worst I can ever remember, in a season where we needed to get off light with the injury stick it feels like a giant oak has fallen on us

 

[CarloLion]

Yeh hopefully we have front ended the crap out of our 'injury cap' so we can ride out the next few years healthy!

 

[SizeMatters]

Rich failed again when we really need him to take control of the team. I think his main problem is that mentally he isn't an AFL footballer... has all the tools to be a gun yet looks like he's two cans short of a six pack. Hopefully can he improve his positioning and decision making as it is a bit slow.

:')

sad to see a small crowd and a terrible performance buddy.

hope to see you have a successful career in coaching if you ever do go into one, you deserve a flag.

 

[SizeMatters]

Pity about the small crowd... Adcock has stuck strong in our poor times and for a period there in 2009 he would have thought we would be contenders again... Footy Gods haven't treated him well.

Robbo never has another expression on his face. Love it.
