Review Round 23, 2025 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

[SizeMatters]

I always hated the laughing emoji.

It's a bully retort.

No that I don't find a lot of things that are said laughable.

Thumbs up means someone likes what you posted and the laugh emoji means they really really like what you posted. Not sure if bullying but it’s a good thing I thought.

Rough conduct

Bit hard to rub him out with Bez shoulders wrapped up like a Christmas present.

 

[Nunez]

's a particular favourite of mine, I reckon he's a legend. He always tries hard, kicks straight, pops up with a contested mark just when we need one, taps to our mids, 70% d/e last night, I mean what more could you want from a bloke who's only played 52 career games?

Agree 100%. Why do supporters bag him but?

 

[Sunny Land]

Ha ha.

I do love Ben Keays maybe too much.

Btw. You should talk.

Ha Ha is almost a laughing emoji….just sayin

I think Elixah & Nunez posts are particularly funny…would be rude not to acknowledge that.

I can’t believe I have to explain this.
When someone cracks a joke, and you laugh, that’s sharing in the laughter.
When someone says something that they feel deeply about and you laugh at them, it’s rude.
You can usually tell from the context but sometimes people misunderstand.
Of course the one who posts the laughing emoji knows full well wether they are being rude or not.

So rude…i am offended

We’ve reached the bottom of the barrel of discussions we can have, debating emojis

C’mon Elixuh…you can be better.
You want a Dad joke to lighted the mode?

Yes. I’m so ashamed.

Yes. I’m so ashamed.

You just know that he's giving his all every game! Love the guy and super happy he is a premiership player for us

 

[braddsey]

The way the players got around him had a bit of the Daniher farewell about it. Starce on the other hand looked very happy after the game. I reckon some decisions have been made...Starce to stay and Ah Chee to go.

a bit early for a farewell celebration though. at least 2 games to go this season.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

How good is our draw with North looking. We'd be in 6th if we didn't get it.

Feels disgusting typing that

And we were lucky to get away with that draw.

 

[p4p1]

Was it just me or were there less replays of frees last night?

Directive from Swanny to ease up on the umps?

A lot less. Seemed to be less replays in general though.

Seriously? We should have turned up and flogged them.

If this team wasn’t so bipolar, we’d be a game or two out in front of Adelaide on the ladder.

Oh yes, absolutely but I think he was saying how lucky we were to escape with a draw given how we didn’t bother to get off the plane.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Day was poor. He rarely (never?) brought the ball to the ground. Dropped a simple high mark late in the game. He did not have any impact at any contest I saw. This apparently is what his role is supposed to be.
We need another tall up forward and we will have one next year. Go back to Smith who has actually kicked goals in his games.

I just watched the third quarter where Day got some possessions very cheaply. The first was coming off the bench. The next was a pass from a kick out. He contested four marking contests, marking one where he 'got out the back'. The other three he was outmarked once, gave away a free on another time and dropped one where one went with him.
His role, apparently, is to provide a contest aerially up forward but he certainly did not do so up to three quarter time.
I missed when watching the game how good Fort was early in the third quarter when we needed to answer the Dockers surge late in the second quarter.

Day looked as though he was playing injured or the game has passed him. Has helped throughout year so not saying it wasn't worth a try for this year, just who plays the role come finals. I don't think Smith is the answer, Big O is clearly not good to go. Gallop against Riley T in the ruck is not a good matchup. Could Joyce do a better job then Day? Probably a bit late to try that. Decision, decisions.

But we didn't and if we didn't have those 2 points we'd be much worse off

If we weren't bipolar we'd have pushed hard at every game, won most/every game, been way out in from on the ladder, had a much better percentage.

And maybe done a pies drop or worse.

Fatigue, mental and physical, is an unpredictable thing.

Right now, I'm in the grateful for the draw group.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Not much about Brisbane.
