Review Round 4, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. North Melbourne

[M Malice]

Can't see there being any changes to the side for Thursday night.

The only chance of a change IMO would be if we want to get a bit more run in the side as the Demons are a very hard running side... in which case one of James Tunstill/Dev Robertson/Harry Sharp may come in for Gardiner.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Who are cam and Eric playing on

Cam midfield. MacDonald or Petty will go to Hippy who’s up the ground

Not saying every contest will go like that but that will be the main reason we play Dizzy forward

 

[martinson]

Not worried about Lever and May if we lower our eyes and bring it in low.

Lever's been coughing it up fairly regularly this year and isn't much good once the ball hits the deck.

May on the other hand has been fairly reliable in any one on one's and doesn't lose out too often if the ball comes in high.

 

[Elixuh]

May and Lever both look awful once the ball hits the ground

Exactly. So bring it in low ,bouncy is fine. If we have to bring it in higher the focus is to spoil strongly at all cost and make sure someone scouts the front of the contest.

It's unavoidable sometimes to bring in rushed ,higher kicks if you're under pressure but at least try and make it a contest.

May is really great at judging the flight and leading his opponent under the ball.

 

[Berrygood]

Could end up nice and firery if Darcy gets inside May's head. Worth the admission just to see that.

Wouldn't take much. May likes to look angry as if some great injustice has been done to him before the ball's even got there.

He and Lever are both huge sooks if anything gets paid against them. I suppose they're not on their own there.

Who is going to get inside Harrison Petty's head... plenty of room in there.

Zorks is the man but I don't think he'll go there.

I still have a great dislike for May. His late shot, knocking Stef out, and he knocked someone else out too, turned me right off him. Who was that other player knocked out? Was it Rockliffe?

Yes. He knocked him out . Biggest bully on the ground decided to whack the smallest.

Starting at the suns will do that to you.

If memory serves correctly, didn't Dizzy get into the head of a player in his first year to the point said player talked shit about him in the media?

If only I could remember who it was...

Jake Carlisle by any chance?

's intercept game this Thursday night at the G, will also help matters if our players refrain from bombing it long into the F50 unless it's absolutely necessary.

He’ll go to Lever.

Lever looks to be out of form from what I have seen, whoever does get May needs to keep him accountable.

Zorko hard at work right now writing some zingers for the Dees players

 

[Berrygood]

Anyone have enough local knowledge to recommend a good old pub to watch a game of footy, have a pint or a medical Scotch, and a good chicken parmigiana, in the Yallambie area of Melbourne. Or if there's a pub worth travelling to, I'm interested. Old bloke friendly, comfy chair, good screen, cold beer, good food. Maybe a bit of music, if I get a second wind.

I'm going down for a cpl of weeks in May, visit family etc. Any suggestions will be appreciated and researched.

The Manningham in Templestowe used to be the Lions pub a few years back - not sure if there is still a turn out there or not (might be a little difficult to get into as well, thanks to the ongoing roadworks).

Doncaster and Templestowe Pubs aren't bad (although the latter's food can be a little hit and miss).

Lower Plenty Hotel is always popular, but viewing the screens isn't as good inside (and outside can be a bit cold obviously!).

First of 3 trips to Adelaide done- why do we have to have away games against Adelaide and Port in back to back years, as we did in 2023? It seems like an excessive amount of travel, haven't been through 2 years of the draw but I doubt many teams have 3 trips to SA in back to back years.

Are we playing both Perth teams away as well?

Believe so. 5 trips to SA and WA is crazy. Can’t be too many times a team has had away games against those 4 teams.

 

[StevoJenkins]

oh and i can now see what people see in lohmann. just needs to work on his intensity when he hasn't got the ball....ie he's lazy

Is it that he's lazy or that he's finally taking his time?

In other AFL level games he's played, it always seemed like he was rushing 24/7. On Friday it seemed like he figured out how to compose himself and play the game.

 

[p4p1]

I still have a great dislike for May. His late shot, knocking Stef out, and he knocked someone else out too, turned me right off him. Who was that other player knocked out? Was it Rockliffe?

being beaten up by 2 teammates, in different teams probably gives a good incite to the type of bloke he is.
