Game Day Round 8, 2021 - Brisbane Lions vs. Fremantle

[MSB ROYS]

Need to win this quarter for % (and my piece of mind).

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

We always get opposition sides back into the game just when we are on the threshold of kicking away to a 10+ goal win. This is why we never get the minor premiership.

 

[martinson]

Very sloppy quarter.

Shouldn't be too hard to pick it up if they challenge ,which is unlikely

 

[dlanod]

You’d be tempted to play Fullarton over Oscar

No, I wouldn't.

 

[jackess]

I think our midfield has broken even. Forwards the difference in this match

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Is this game evidence we should pick up an AFL-ready ruckman in the mid-season draft?

 

[bato]

Hardly. We have dominated all day and aren't going to lose. We don't need to be flat track bullies and win by 80. As much as it would be nice, it makes no logical sense to play too hard and risk injuries.

But that's the problem. We dominate and somehow lose the quarter haha. This club works too hard not to get better reward on the scoreboard in games like these.

 

[luthor]

Frustrating quarter.

Freo are burning us on our own stupid turnovers

[jackess]

No, I wouldn't.

Suns don’t play a ruckman

 

[jackess]

Great hanger

 

[Jivlain]

Woah! Joe!

 

[MSB ROYS]

McCarthy set that up deliberately for a Joe speccie!

 

[dlanod]

I think our midfield has broken even. Forwards the difference in this match

I think our midfield has been better but it's not a dominant advantage.

I think the forwards have taken that marginal advantage and turned it into 6 more goals so far.

I doubt any would be better than Oscar

 

[dlanod]

Suns don’t play a ruckman

Suns lost to the Saints.

 

[jackess]

No movement up the field

 

[Gadzorks]

Hardly. We have dominated all day and aren't going to lose. We don't need to be flat track bullies and win by 80. As much as it would be nice, it makes no logical sense to play too hard and risk injuries.

We aren't flat track bullies but we need to stop playing the score. We need to open the margin and keep the margin, instead of slowing and giving the other team a window

 

[The Substitute]

But that's the problem. We dominate and somehow lose the quarter haha. This club works too hard not to get better reward on the scoreboard in games like these.

I have no idea, but we never seem to put teams to the sword. It could just be the coaches trying to keep the players fresh?

We did not dominate that quarter

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I'm not that disappointed by regular players switching off, it happens when you're up big. But the fringe players should go all out in an effort to keep themselves in the side for next week. I'm looking at you, Matho.

 

[Jivlain]

Suns lost to the Saints.

I don't think that was caused by the lack of a ruckman, although I also don't think that was particularly helpful to their cause either.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Big O is always reliable in front of goal. Puts the game to bed, now let's get some %.

 

[jackess]

20 marks inside 50 is ridiculous.

 

[jackess]

Good tackle by Matho

 

[jackess]

Horrible to let 4 of them run forward from that contest
