Review Round 16, 2018 - Brisbane Lions vs. Carlton

[luthor]

Next Friday nights blockbuster marquee game is St.Kilda v Carlton.

The continued mysterious scheduling of Carlton on Friday nights demonstrating that the VFL is alive and well.

Safe to say mood on Carlton board is a bit dire.

Good laugh though.

Witherden had 25 touches in the 2nd half. Huge 2nd half.

Next Friday nights blockbuster marquee game is St.Kilda v Carlton.

Safe to say in 2019 they will get 0 or 1 Friday night game. Probably St Kilda too. On the other hand I think we have earnt a Friday night Gabba game.

Cutler had 5 marks inside 50

Very enjoyable game.

Safe to say mood on Carlton board is a bit dire.

Fun moment for me was hearing a bloke behind me giving his Carlton fan mate one of those kindly but rather patronising and slightly smug talks about how his team has great kids and the future is bright. Carlton bloke knew it was all BS.

 

[jackess]

Hodge went at 100% disposal efficiency

Did a few silly things today but overall played a great game. You can see he is full of confidence and his work rate is elite at the moment. If he keeps this up he could become an A grade wingman.

I'm just going to intrude and say a few things.

A) Beams is a gun.

B) Sucked in Carlton!

C) Enjoy:

 

[CarterS]

Fagan press conference drinking game

"emotional nourishment"
"reward for hard work"
"i'm wrapped for the boys"

 

[lioninthesand]

That winning feeling.

Few moments he got fractionally ahead of himself but becoming a great footballer. Best 22 lock.

Not to put a damper on anything but I do hope Caleb Marchbank is okay. Already had one player collapsing on the footy field this season, don't need any more.

I'm flying home from Paris today and I would like some advice about which win I should look at first as both have been taped.

Freo or Carlton?

Which was the better win?

Tough one. Probably Freo because we were long odds for the win but demolished them from the start.

I put Walker and Hodge in my votes. Both were important in the first and second quarters when the game was A) up for grabs and B) when we pushed away. They may not have been as prominent in the second half but I feel like they got us on our way

Same. Walker was immense when the ball came his way and Hodge ..... well he just continues to be Hodge.

How good

That shimmy by Hodge was pretty much worth the admission fee on its own

So who got reported?......gathered from the main board game thread we had a couple. Surely Rayner wasn't one?

Mcinerny. Can't remember who it was on but he tackled him, pushed him into the ground then it look like he caught him high with a forearm. Wasn't a lot in it so if he's lucky he might get a fine but probably a week I would imagine.

Crowd of 21k....looked half that on TV??????

I thought it was about 23.5 at the ground. Surprised it was as low as they said

Nothing in it, shouldn't even attract a fine.

It looked worse live. You're probably right.

If precedent is anything to go by- Jeremy Cameron got 5 weeks for his thug act therefore it follows that Oscar McInerney should be expecting a $1000 cheque in the mail from the MRP.

 

[CarterS]

How "fake news" news.com.au reports on our win.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Gday Lions. Nice win today.

Smashing those filthy victorian scum was a thing of beauty.
It was like they thought they had a chance and missing Simpson mattered

Anyhoo our good mate pulpdriver has been a naughty boy but soon the wait is over and he will once again be free.

He sends his love to you all but is currently stewing in his own juices over todays glorious win
You see not being able to join in is killing him inside...

So tag pulpdriver and let him know you're thinking of him in his time of need

pulpdriver this pic is for you mate. You splendid campaigner you

 

[matwt73]

I thought Witherden had his best game of the season. Career high 31 disposals. Provided a lot of run.

Whole backline got a heap of the footy

I had Witherden in my best five. We was a driver everytime we switched to the right wing, and some of his delivery was spot on. Great vision and great work rate.
