AFL 2019 Round 1: Brisbane v West Coast, 7:20pm AEST GABBA

[Supersuns]

These are possibly the worst conditions in football with a home team that’s exploiting them. Brisbane have been just as bad with disposal but they know how to play here in March..

The cyclone Gold Coast played in against North Melbourne in round one last year was easier then this? Brisbane have just been the much better team tonight

 

[scoman]

Come on Lions think of the percentage for goodness sake!

 

[Smartest Brain]

Brisbane dominating in these conditions, look very sapped after the first quarter. We'll bounce back next week and hopefully with JK and Willie back in the side.

Rough trip to take for the start of the season, shouldn't have to head to Brisbane until mid year. What a bummer, Brisbane look like a good team finally

Darling faking it as usual.

Reckon the Eagles would be happy to get the longest trip done and dusted in round 1. Obviously would have preferred a better result, reckon the humidity, greasy football and a quality young team has conspired against us. The first quarter showed what they were capable of, add JK, Rioli and Gaff and they should still go alright.

Brisbane/Gold Coast.. pretty much the same. Just a bad place to play footy in Autumn

 

[ep2018]

Gov looks like he enjoyed his off season.

 

[WilloTree]

Simmo and the boys are on their way down to the presser.

When our gameplan revolves around kicking and marking.. yes

Hahahaha

West Coast a bit lucky Brisbane's inside 50 work is a bit chaotic.

I don't think you know what GC game he's talking about. That was a genuinely ridiculous match.

Okay, okay, enough, I'm sold - where and when is your show and how much are tickets? "Worst conditions in football" result in 1 goal in a half of footy. Your comedy career is about to go off! Love it.

 

[Tas]

Bastinac has been good tonight.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Well done Brizzie, impressive intent. Deplorable from us.
I'm going to go watch the Sheed kick and cry myself to sleep.

 

[fnerd]

Few of these wc players had the look that they could just rock up and it d happen for them.

Lions much more desperate.

Early days and still few to come back in but you d hope it’s not pointer to things to come

 

[Tas]

Sympathy from Brisbane fans for Yeo.

We played north Melbourne last year in cairns after a week of rain. The ground was a swamp during the game. Makes this game tonight look like a walk in the park

 

[Andronicus]

Makes sense that eagles have had so many more free kicks.

They have had a hell of a lot more possessions.

 

[JackOutback]

Impressive win by Brisbane; reckon I’m gonna enjoy watching some of their games this year.

 

[its free real estate]

Decent effort by Brisbane to win by this much from five-ish goals down.

 

[Smartest Brain]

Eagles with 2 goals after half time? Leaking goals like it's 3am outside a nightclub . Not looking good.

 

[bzparkes]

Meh, Buddy kicked 8 on us in round one last year and we went on to win 10 in a row. Playing with a bar of soap hasn't helped and Brisbane were pretty good last year despite a few close losses. Happy to get this one out of the way. A wake up call in round one isn't necessarily a bad thing, considering the conditions, 5 weeks less of pre-season and the amount of inexperienced players playing in this game.

 

[fnerd]

Gov must of gone back to his pre 2015 diet

 

[JackOutback]

Christ, the last quarter was just looking like a slog to the end; two late goals and we’re staring down the barrel of a 40 point loss.

 

[Captain_Bender]

Has gotta be Brisbane's best win in over a decade
