I sure am getting tired of sitting in the rain and cold to watch nothing but rubbish.
Brisbane are very good and came to play from the opening bounce, but i feel we did ourselves no favours with certain things.
Lachie Neale is having a great season and has hurt us in the past, but we focused wayyyy too much on him early, i mean the guy isn't prime Gary Ablett Jnr. Some of our boys lost their primary focus.
Also, one week after Robbie Gray gets BOG playing as a full time midfielder, starts the game forward to accommodate Cam fricken Sutcliffe. I get the notion of him tagging Neale, but it meant we were essentially one ball winner short at the stoppage. Centre square clearances are crucial now with 6-6-6 rule and we just couldn't get any clean touches in the first 15 mins - we lost the game right there, needed Gray around the footy more.
Lastly, why was Duursma dropped...
Poor coaching moves hurt us as much as the Lions' play did.
