Review Round 13, 2025 - Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions

[Brizzys Squizzy]

A Daniher sized hole was the difference in us losing those 4 points. Cannot be replaced. We move on but I feel we may end up noticing such a hole again in the finals

That's BS simply just didn't finish our work off by missing simple goals

 

[Jackywats]

crumbled

 

[SizeMatters]

Was Hipwood even at the ground? So many opportunities for a tall key forward to compete and bring the ball to the ground in the last 15 minutes and I didn’t even spot him. Missing Daniher and we need to bring a tall forward in over the offseason.

Lions lost their heads.

 

[SpecialBruce]

Hopefully this sparks changes? There are some players who play like their spot is safe, and that's because they are.

 

[M Malice]

Not the end of the world but we blew it in the last 10 minute with panic footy, why did we keep kicking it to the top of the goal square for an easy rushed behind, it's a fundamental of the game.

Had every chance to win it in the end, Zac lost his composure and game sense.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Need to get out the tape of Oscar’s speech.

 

[Conlan12]

Stands out like the dog's proverbial. We really lack a key forward. Still should have won in the last 5 minutes.

 

[Elixuh]

Well that sucked. Can we please not play Adelaide in Adelaide next year?

Sick of seeing the same game and their whining fans cry while they get every 50-50 free.

Other option is to don Collingwood colours for the game and get a much better whistle.

Show. Me. The. X. Score.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Can’t remember a worse quarter, 2005-2018 included

We had excuses in those years.

Unfortunately one premiership seems to be enough for most of our team

 

[wikinick257]

Subbing off a tall for a small was the difference

We are. Oscar Allen.

Hipwood been poo the last couple of weeks. He should have dominated Essendon with their lack of talls.

 

[Nuggo]

Thought we contested well against a team that is humming. Just need a little more composure going inside. Not far off.

 

[Squizz89]

The **** do you say about that game?

Got beaten by a team who was on top for half a quarter?

Massive issues forward of centre. We say it every week but without Joe we just don’t have the presence forward of centre to take the odd contested mark every now and then. This was a big part of our game the last few years.

As for the players thought Hugh and Cam were clearly our best.

There was a few average games but a special shout out to Zac. He had a few shockers last year but that was next level shit tonight. If he wasn’t giving away free kicks he was turning it over. Had a good year, but that was a real shocker tonight, went back to trying to do to much.

 

[Coastal Lion]

Still 2nd can't move but damn we should have won.
The crows got alot of help from some dubious calls but at the end of the day we just couldn't hit the middle sticks

 

[pod17]

The lack of a key forward - Hipwood isn’t one - will be the difference between us winning the flag versus merely challenging unless we can address the way we are entering 50.

Too many blaze kicks which simply got picked off. Dev’s papers stamped after tonight. Offers nothing at all.

Hipwood has never really played as a true KPF, morr like a flanker who happens to be tall. Yes, we need Oscar Allen or a similar player.

 

[Paul Mac]

i just heard last quarter 20 inside 50's us Adelaide 8. Us no goals , Adelaide 5 goals. WOW

[dlanod]

Hilarious. This is one of those weeks where if you said the result at the start, after our effort vs Essendon and Adelaide vs the Swans everyone would be leaping over themselves to take it

But because of how it played out over the last three hours instead it's embarrassing, pathetic, shambles, etc etc etc.

We had every chance to get it through in the last but just because the commentators are shitting all over us that doesn't make it true - we were fighting a Lyons-esque flood so it's not like we were getting clean shots time and again.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Crows 5 shots 5 goals that's how you finish off good footy up the ground

 

[Coastal Lion]

I don't like Rachelle

 

[BangyBangy]

Cant recall the last time I've felt so embarrassed to support this club

No excuses

I'm sure you can

 

[Happy_Neale]

Horrible efficiency in the last quarter, let’s be honest we lost that one for ourselves while absolutely dominating general play for the last 15 minutes

 

[Nathan Barley]

Unfortunately Days injury killed off Hippys form

Hipwood was playing up the ground for most of it. It's ok if you weren't watching close enough to notice him working hard enough to be getting in the contest around the half back line and the wings.
