Autopsy 2022 Round 11 - Brisbane Lions v GWS Giants, Saturday 28 May, 1:45 PM @ the Gabba

[Giant Strides]

Here we are at game day, probably most GWS supporters feeling pretty pessimistic about our chances. Fingers crossed for a shock result then! Go Giants!

 

[Giant Pete]

Lions will try to blast us out of the game in the first quarter. They will look to play with lots of speed on the ball. Hopefully we don’t try and be too defensive.

 

[fridgeman]

Good opportunity for Bruhn to spend time as a mid with no Taranto and Hopper so hopefully he can have a good game

GWS Giants: Xavier O’Halloran

Hopefully you guys can do what we did last week. Interested to see who gets what opportunity with Taranto and Whitfield out.

Also, can anyone guess what the scenario with Preuss likely is. Not fully recovered? Flynn getting first go after last week? Simply not Spikes preference given you are quite tall?

I think that which I've bolded above. Perhaps Preuss isn't quite 100%, but he was named as the emergency.

 

[Giant Strides]

Nice mark and goal Bobby ... now let's see more of that throughout the whole game.

 

[BarryAglett]

Toby!

 

[BarryAglett]

Well done boys!

 

[BarryAglett]

Peatling!

 

[sydney_gws]

We are playing well, Lions not.

 

[Gigantic]

Great start. Capitalising on Brisbane’s sloppiness.

 

[BarryAglett]

Woohoo Cogs!

Great intent by the boys.
Lions so flat.

 

[BarryAglett]

Echos of last week's first qtr

 

[Gigantic]

Himmelberg looking much better at the back

 

[sydney_gws]

Lions coming back well. Neither side defending well.

 

[Section226]

Those inside kicks and handpasses from the wing to the corridor need to have some force. The 'floaters' are getting picked off.
Lachie Ash - you owe the team after that dropped mark.
Riccardi - Needs to get more involved. Got the goal but has been very quiet. Also stands at the edge of the contest - doesn't go for the ball on the ground.
Overall, liking the more open play a lot. Well done coaching team.

 

[BarryAglett]

Good news.
We have a half-time lead.
Bad news.
Our 2nd halves...

 

[sydney_gws]

Players look tired. I think to win we need to kick accurately, Lions inaccurately for goal.

 

[Maximus 2011]

Well this is a bit better than kicking 6 goals per game. Be the first team to 100 points and you will win 99% of the time

 

[Simmofreo]

10.1 is pretty accurate for that first half

Back to the BS umpiring. Same things Lions are doing are 'play on' but penalties against us. Absolute ******* crap.

 

[Maximus 2011]

Jeez the umpires are really trying to get the Lions back in front

 

[Maximus 2011]

Brander is rubbish.

 

[Maximus 2011]

Sproule is also rubbish
we have quite a few players playing today who aren’t up to the standard. I’d probably put O’Halloran in this category as well but he’s still young
