Round 23: Brisbane Lions vs Western Bulldogs - 1.45pm @ The Gabba

[Donakebab]

Couldn't see a game day thread for this match. Obviously not game of the round, but some breaking news just in, Brent Staker has been a late withdrawal in his final game before retirement after doing his hamstring in the warm up. Poor bloke has never been able to catch a break and this just epitomises his career. Wish him well after football as surely he'll have better luck at anything else.

 

[ManOfClay]

Aka going through the motions.

Acting captain Roughead with the first goal

 

[ManOfClay]

Beaten by a moment

 

[Crawb]

Staker a late out after the warm-up due to an injury. Peak Brisbane

 

[hench]

A few BS 50s to the Dogs early.

 

[ManOfClay]

26 for the lions is a cheap dog

 

[ManOfClay]

A few BS 50s to the Dogs early.

Whatever

 

[hench]

Whatever

We are the home team and heavy underdogs. Aren't we supposed to get the good calls?

 

[Forward Press]

Staker injured himself in the warm-up and will not play his farewell game.

Sad news and all the best to him.

 

[hench]

High fend off?

 

[ManOfClay]

High fend off?

Elbow to the head. Clumsy by Rockliff.

Big tackle by Bont

 

[hench]

Taylor> Bont?

 

[hench]

Funny how Jed Adcock is BOG for the Lions right now..

Funny how your the Cats didn't try for 3 weeks when finals were on the line.

 

[hench]

My team tries to play s**t, your team is s**t

Shouldn't you be in that game thread?

 

[ManOfClay]

Stringer needs no hands

 

[Power Raid]

The lions doing well so far but the doggies should run over the top

 

[ManOfClay]

And neither does redpath

 

[hench]

Wish we could targets by foot.

I like Zorko, but geez his last two kicks have been awful

 

[ManOfClay]

Great mark wood, poor kick

 

[Upgrayedd]

Shots fired

[ManOfClay]

Lions a lot more experienced and going much harder but have horrible skills

 

[ManOfClay]

How many turnovers does that make it now for Zorko?

 

[SBI]

Jeez, Zorko gets a trillion possessions but is butchering it.

Allen Christensen has been just as big a bust of a pick-up as Liam Jones (probably more considering the money he is on this season)
