Game Day Round 9, 2023 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

[Nathan Barley]

Huge throw Hobbs

Sharp has limited footy skills, won’t make it

 

[3KZ is Football]

Lester sets up another forward thrust. FULL OF RUN - GIVE AND GO! Anyone want to tell us how he is slow? Ace rebound defender!

 

[Nathan Barley]

Imagine playing your top 3 draft pick as a negating defender.

Not sure we can be too cocky with how Rayner and Clug have played

 

[thedaz]

McKenna saved two certain goals now.

 

[Harris Specter]

Not sure we can be too cocky with how Rayner and Clug have played

We have the luxury of having better players around them. He is hiding in the backline as the star recruit.

 

[FFB1]

Neale has been well below what we’re used to seeing for much of this year, we’re fortunate to have Dunkley (and Ashcroft, for that matter).

 

[Nathan Barley]

Keeping any team to 5 or 6 goals is good for us

He’s shut down the best small forward in the game

 

[FLVanLandingham]

full props to lester. He has taken the Rich role and has taken some incredibly well chosen attacking kicks off half-back.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Neale has been well below what we’re used to seeing for much of this year, we’re fortunate to have Dunkley (and Ashcroft, for that matter).

He has 29 touches, 4 clearances in a midfield with Ashcroft (26) and Dunkley (21) tonight.

The days of 35+ touches for Lachie are over, he has too much talent around him now.

We have the luxury of having better players around them. He is hiding in the backline as the star recruit.

He's arguably been their best player and has completely shut down Cameron. So unsure on the merits of your comment. What's the salt for?

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Joe!

PRECISION DISPOSAL FROM LESTER - ELITE!

Tippinwoody (sic) destroyed us a few years ago. Now not good enough for the top flight. McGrath has had a great game. Defenders and Joe our best players. Neale come into the game...never understand criticism of him. At some point, he's the guy who will turn his game around. Still the one guy in the AFL I would want in my team.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Great kick by Lester to kick it off

Difference is he can run.

 

[MSB ROYS]

How can you pick that one as a throw?

 

[Nathan Barley]

First throw free and it’s against us???

ATW is cooked. Enjoyed his time off footy...

Thank you

 

[FLVanLandingham]

I want 3 more goals and then we end with 4th quarter been our strongest.

gotta end this one well

Yes it feels like they they’re deliberately trying to share the load.

Lester is 31 this year, not exactly a long term replacement but good to have froggy as an option. Reckon we'll still use Rich instead when he is back.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Just wondering what the psychological diagnosis is on the second half?
