Review Semi Final, 2022 - Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

[martinson]

"The Brisbane home ground advantage is way stronger than what Brisbane have been able to do"

I think after that statement we only lost 4 Home and Away Gabba games in 4 years.

I think you meant Freo Brab. Yeah we've been pretty much unbeatable at the Gabba in H/A .

That was such a dumb unresearched statement.

True.

At the time he wasn't wrong though. I think I attended the majority of our home games from 2016-2018 and I didn't see that many wins.

I'm not a fan of his punditry but Whateley's commentary along with the GOAT Anthony Hudson's is spine chilling, love it.

Why do SEN get that and we get BT who can't even get our players names right?

That what happens when you use real commentators and not retired players

I’d advise you have a closer look at his “handballs” in congestion, his skills aren’t anywhere near as good as you’re led to believe.

Serial chucker, once you see it you won’t be able to unsee it. Just very good as disguising it.

Regardless, if he’s good enough to disguise it and not get caught he’s doing his job. His work in close is elite, don’t let the maroon and gold glasses stop that view, would have him at the club any day.

70 points to 35 after half time.
If you count the goal for AhChee with seconds to go in the second quarter.
76 to 35 after that point in the game.
Drubbing!

I love how SEN and triple m upload the video footage now - so much better than the commentary that comes through the tv. You used to only be able to hear snippets of it through the occasional AFL360 quad call montage thing.

My fav moment in that one was the Bailey goal to ice it

Charlie’s Angle’s underrated?

Nathan Jones in the background is a sad figure.

Best part of this is seeing Healy and Jones look at each other with maximum amounts of disappointment in their eyes

The best part of that is watching Nathan Jones and Gerard Healy in the background slowly sinking back into their seats as the Lions took them apart. Great to watch

Nathan Jones in the background is a sad figure.

Nathan Jones commentary is horrendous, adds nothing. They go to him and his insight consists of saying "that was massive" "what was awesome". Job for the boys if I have ever seen one.

"The Fremantle home ground advantage is way stronger than what Brisbane have been able to do"

I think after that statement we only lost 4 Home and Away Gabba games in 4 years.

Gary Lyon absolutely creaming himself.

your quote -‘Hipwood played a better game against Essendon 5 years ago as a skinny teenager. All the flair and joy is gone. Sad to see.’

BRAB
I don’t know if you remember this,I said to stay tough,(refer below) for I know much love youhippy, and he came through tonight in absolutely sensational fashion.

The mark of an absolute professional and to showcase his immense character, to come back from a knee reco the way he did tonight is a testament to Hippy’s relentless desire to be a star of the the game. You have every right, as do all us to be very proud of what Hippy did tonight, because Hippy showed us tonight he is a GUN. And to do what he has done in such a short space of time from what he has had to endure, can only be stated in one word REMARKABLE!!!!

what i stated before IT SHOULD. BE TITLED DON’T LOSE FAITH IN HIPPY.
please be fair to Hipwood, 1st game in round 9 after serious knee injury.Time to judge would be after the 2023 season.It takes a time to build match conditioning again,confidence and the mental toughness after doing a knee. In terms of the 5 years ago and the forward line in general as it is today,I think it is time to get a different line coach to help Hipwood rediscover his mojo.Hipwood has it,he has proven it, he just needs a different approach to bring out his best.Brab I know you love Hippy just be patient.

For those saying to play Hipwood in the reserves is completely wrong.7 games to go before finals, I agree with the club to play him in the seniors.The more game time Hipwood gets in the seniors, where the speed of the game is completely different, to that of the reserves,can only be beneficial to our finals campaign.The end justifies the means.

Why do SEN get that and we get BT who can't even get our players names right?

It starts with SEN paying Whately $900k per. No idea what Huddo is on.

Yeah but only about a hundred steps for Harro. He has a decent stride when he gets above a trot.

 

[Milux]

Few days have gone by now and it's still so unreal. Crazy we have knocked off the 2 reigning premiers from previous seasons.

 

[mpal6]

Let's celebrate again with a bit of jig !

 

[Monkey Daniel]

You may recall my previous post re: the GFL games between Leopold Lions and Colac (not sure how to quote it here). Leopold beat Colac in the Semi after losing to them twice during the season.
Leopold were playing the Prelim Final against Newtown, another team they lost to twice during the season. A goal after the siren sees Leopold win and they will take on St Mary’s ( a team they have beaten ) in the Grand Final
The dream continues …. And so does that of the Brisbane Lions !!

I really really enjoyed watching that - thank you for sharing it!

Was great that Huddo looked as engaged in the play no matter which side was doing it - with BT et al it is which team is doing it that trumps the rest.

 

[Viceregal]

I was hoping they replayed the Lever moment of madness and 50 - only thing it was lacking t enjoyable all the same.

nods - I was looking forward to that bit too ah well
