Game Day Richmond v Brisbane Lions Round 23 - 15:20 AEST, Aug 25, 2019 (No umpiring complaints during game)

[PerthBoy86]

Sadly hard to see the Lions even winning at the GABBA. Let's hope it's close at least.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Brisbane being bullied now.

And this will start to mess with they head for the first final too.

Lul wut. Tigers have only extended their lead by a goal since quarter time. Hardly a complete lack of positives for us to take to the Gabba.

Edit: margin now the same as qtr time.

Won't happen. Richmond comfortably. Lions will be knocked out in consecutive weeks.

 

[Lynchy04]

You need another 15 goals.

Doesnt matter, be very confident against Brissy up there anyway!

 

[Professor Knowall]

Gabba in 27c heat will be very different then MCG at 13c so tiges will need to tweek game plan

Yep - Brisbane have done just what they needed to do - not lose by more than 63 points. In contrast, Richmond have failed in their objective.

 

[Acinath]

Why are people talking about the Brisbane heat? The last couple of years have had Qualifying finals at night.

Am I missing something?

And your lot won’t even make it to the 2nd week. Think I speak for the majority of lions fans in saying that we’ve exceeded expectations as is and anything additional is an added bonus. Beats sitting mid table multiple years in a row.

Lions be satisfied here

 

[Brent24]

Do you think there will ever be a contest where Riewoldt or Lynch don't whinge for a free?

Well then that introduces the heat at night plus the humidity, both very difficult for teams that come from colder southern states to deal with.

You would not know anything about that considering Brisbane's bottom 4 history..

 

[Hollow Knight]

I wish Lachie Neale played for my club.

Oh, he does!

They are just oblivious to the easy win that Richmond will have at the Gabba in a couple of weeks.

 

[romeohwho]

Tigers way too good today. Brissy will be better for the run.

Odd for Rioli to be time wasting, no risk of losing.

Maybe

I wish Lachie Neale played for my club.

Oh, he does!

Problem is Lions need few more like Neale

 

[kendrick]

Lachie Neale is the 2019 Tom Mitchell.

48 disposals... 40 of them junk

 

[Shai]

Just as a qualifier, Lachie Neale has 47 disposals so far.

Unlike Rockliff, I've never once seen Neale on the outside squealing, 'Give it to me'.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Neale the lone hand in the middle could have been a thrashing is he didn't play

I know Brisbane have a good record against Hawthorn, but it's embarrassing to see them living rent-free in your head like this.

 

[BG__]

The Tigers record away from Melbourne the last couple of years has been very average. They haven't even played Brisbane at the GABBA in nearly 2 and a half years.

 

[iBeng]

Not super upset with this loss.

We really got to find a way to support Charlie though, since the umpires have decided its ok to just hang off him all game.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Neale had 50 touches but Martin and Prestia were better

Funny that as they don't have a good record against Richmond... Losing every match against them in the last 10 years. Not hard to use logic.
