Review Round 24, 2025 - Brisbane Lions vs. Hawthorn

[Nathan Barley]

Will be tough to split Bruce and Marshall. Like the upside of Bruce but feel like Marshall just finds ways to get involved and pop up in good positions. Either way one should still make it as sub

I’d just lean towards Bruce because he’s got an edge in the contest and maybe more maturity as the sub. And more flexibility

 

[The Zork]

Hugh better be on that AA field and not get a consolation spot on the bench.
Opposition genuinely can’t keep him out of the game.
Tough, classy, relentless running, some razzle dazzle. What a player.

Always welcome here Brutus, hope you'll be on board for finals!

Spent 11 years in Brisbane. Just moved back to Wimmera and Bezza country late last year

Sponsored Bez, Starc, Bails, Cam and Sam Marshall before moving back to the bush. Those jumpers are at Ollie's Cafe in Bulimba with the owners who co-sponsored with me.

LIOOOOOOONNNNNNS!

Why do we need to have a final against Geelong every year?

Joys of top 4. Wouldn't it be nice to be gifted the run they got ?

 

[DevRoboGun]

Why do we need to have a final against Geelong every year?

Glass half full - I’d rather have them in a QF than a SF/PF. Think we can comfortably lose the QF and still win the flag.

 

[Bucking Beads]

For you that wrote us off and I imagine turned it off- you missed a great game.

But they did enjoy a drop in blood pressure and an early bed time

 

[Ceebee]

Day and Gallop are not up to the standard. Gallop may improve with age but I cannot see what we see in Day.

They were both serviceable , Gallop has played 2 senior games and never stopped trying . Day is filling a gap that we needed .

 

[Gadzorks]

On my way home to book flights for the first final.

Does anyone know if they will play finals on the Thursday night? Or is that home and away only?

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

We needed another big defender.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Me watching Ginnivan, Watson and Sicily having to clap Zorko off.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I think we all know Day and Gallop aren't ideal but the reality is they're absolutely the best we've got at the moment.. it is borderline delusional that people are hating on them. Both competed well enough and had a crack.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

I was not impressed with the team's performance.

The TEAM dominated, but as usual lacked the polish kicking at Goal.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

We needed another big defender.

Lewis going down free'd us up a bit. We really do struggle against 3 talls

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

UP THE MIGHTY LIONNNNNS

Honestly the second half of last week and this week have been the most comfortable I’ve been with Day. Thought he’s been pretty solid and Gallop just has a higher baseline than someone like Henry because of his pressure and defence, thought he was solid too

 

[brutus76]

I reckon it'll be Adelaide v Collingwood on the Thursday night and Lions playing the Cats on the Friday night.

Port played Geelong on a Thursday night last year

 

[Jivlain]

On my way home to book flights for the first final.

Does anyone know if they will play finals on the Thursday night? Or is that home and away only?

Last year qualifiers were Thursday night & Saturday afternoon, eliminations Friday & Saturday nights.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

He’s a good set shot

That’s what they said about Jack Dudston when he came here.

 

[Nuggo]

So many young players standing up. Outstanding by them.

 

[Darren Downunder]

He’s a good set shot

I’m sure we can knock that out of him

 

[Nathan Barley]

I wonder if we’re tempted to go small against Geelong. Gallop didn’t look likely but it would be harsh

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

They were both serviceable , Gallop has played 2 senior games and never stopped trying . Day is filling a gap that we needed .

We’d be better off playing one short than having Day out there.

 

[Hollow Knight]

So in the wash up, the draw against North was as good as a win.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Last year qualifiers were Thursday night & Saturday afternoon, eliminations Friday & Saturday nights.

Crows v Pies (Thursday night)
Cats V Lions (friday night)
Giants v Hawks (Sat Arvo)
Freo V Suns (sat night)

My thoughts. I think suns will be given the last game with playing later than everyone. (this is of course they don't somehow mess it up against the bombers)

 

[beatnik]

Fagan putting Day on the bench at the end one of his better moves. Absolute spud that guy.

Casual.
