Terrific win. Just goes to show how we can play when the entire team commits to the team defensive stuff. Hopefully this gives the boys a confidence boost.

Sign Logan up for 10 years.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Only negative is Logan not kicking 10

 

[Lions2Good]

Pay Morris bailey’s money and lock him down long term ASAP

 

[rye]

anybody who says those bozos are our rival are having a laugh.

needed a circuit breaker in 2025 finals they provided.

need a reset in 2026 they bend over.

genuinely embarrassing team.

 

[PTizzle]

Only 4 options selectable in the poll just FYI.

Good win, liked our structure a lot more.

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

LET'S GO!!!

 

[LionsMaw]

Anyone saying, 'WE'RE BACK!', needs to remember we've got swans at home & cats away as the 1st 2 games after the bye. If we win those THEN we back.

[Johnny Bananas]

Tunstill and Brain both put in blinders, really hope they stay in the side going forward. Wilmot excellent as usual, Neale back in form and Morris just destroyed them. Things are looking up again!

 

[M Malice]

Dominated all game, had the feel of a 10 goal win, Morris for the medal, but Wilmot and Neale were great.

Nice little psychological brick in the wall against the GC. Can't beat us when we have been terrible and with an extensive injury list!

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Pay Morris bailey’s money and lock him down long term ASAP

Absolutely, if we have to choose between them it's definitely Morris who we should keep.

Get absolutely stuffed Gold Coast.

Just thought I’d drag this across from the game day thread so I could agree

Well said Warwick…you can add Hipwood to that list too

 

[lionshine]

Gave Tunstill a vote for all his hard running and defensive pressure. Joyce & Brain slotted in and played their roles as well. Huge!

Wilmot is a freak. In career best form. Neale & Logan easily our best, massive games from both.

Also thought guys like Berry, Answerth, Reville, Dunkley, Fletcher and WAshcroft started to look back to something resembling their usual level.

Rayner also on an upward trend and did some huge things defensively including crucial tackles stopping the Suns attacking forays on multiple occasions.

 

[LionKing]

Shadeau Brain showed plenty tonight - composed under pressure and made some smart decisions

 

[LionsMaw]

Logan gets the Marcus Ashcroft medal.

And he deserves it

 

[M Malice]

Some of the "fill ins" were really good eg. McKenna, Brain, Tunstill. I although thought Joyce was safe and dependable, needs to stay in, we need Gallop forward, provides a contest.

I think the only one due back next week is Eric Hipwood
