Cutler is the emergency for ones. I'd say he's not playing 2nd half as Close and Paparone are.Good mark there from Mitch Hinge.
Is Cuts sore? Pretty quiet?
I only seen the second half, I thought Beams disposal by foot was pretty average?Close beams and Jansen best from the bits I saw......missed first half....poor Archie went to fly the flag and nobody helped him....disappointing

Not Allison.Anyone's game worthy of a call up?
Not Allison.
The Brisbane Lions overcame a gallant Redland to win by 18-points in a high-scoring and entertaining affair at the Gabba on Sunday afternoon. The Lions were pushed to the final siren but in the end but were just too good for Redland, winning 20.12 (132) to 18.6 (114).
When they met back in Round 7, it was Redland who started the game extremely well but this time it was Brisbane who took the ascendancy early. The Lions kicked eight goals to Redland’s four in the first quarter, to lead by 26 points at the first change. Redland limited Brisbane to two goals in the second quarter but still trailed by 38 points at the main break.
The second half was more like a tennis match with both teams going goal for goal for the majority of the game. A few unanswered goals to the Bombers in the third and fourth quarters ensured it was an entertaining finish. The margin was only 12 points until a Lions goal just before the final siren extended the margin to 18.
For Brisbane, Liam Dawson was a fantastic up forward taking 14 marks and three goals. Ryan Harwood (four goals) and Blake Grewar (three) also added to their scoring power. Cian Hanley (30 disposals) provided some fantastic run off the half back and Jarrad Jansen (32 disposals) was solid in the midfield for the Lions.
Brisbane will now look forward to their trip to take on the Canberra Demons in Canberra.

I commented to my son at the game that it was well umpired. Didn't notice the umpies which I always think is a great sign of how good they are.A total of 16 free kicks for a game must be close to a record low.
I agree with Voss the Boss's comment about Dawson. Some of his one grab marks were very strong. And 14 marks is v.impressive.Anyone's game worthy of a call up?
Good post, thanks,no point in Harwood being pushed up yet again, when some kids like Lyon,Clayton and others are putting their hand up every week.I agree with Voss the Boss's comment about Dawson. Some of his one grab marks were very strong. And 14 marks is v.impressive.
With Zorko a likely out, I'd really like to see Jansen get a run. I thought he was BOG and for once he looked like what we probably hoped we get when we drafted him, that inside bull who can run with the really big midfielders. Going on Sunday, he looked ready, pretty much led the team in inside and rebound 50s. With his height, he's not that easy to match up on when resting forward either.
He played the one game V western bulldogs across HB and an absolute shocker, I would love to see him get the same extended run like others have eg (NRobbo)Dawson just hasnt been able to transfer that to AFL standard yet, always looks overwhelmed at the top level.
