Who were your best for us today... Lohmann, Brain and Sharp?

Sharp, Brain and Smith for mine. Lyons was very good at winning the ball but his turnovers were extremely costly and honestly played a part in us losing. You can't keep winning clearances and kicking it direct to the opposition.

Going to watch the first quarter at least. The warm up is going on and on though.

They were all good, but although Lohmann jagged a lucky goal at the end to give us some hope at the end I thought he went a bit missing in the last quarter. Sharp was good all day. Dunkley gave us a bit. Fullarton was best up forward but he was sent back at times, which robbed our forward line and ended up providing Willy with the goal that started their comeback.
I've some sympathy for Lyons here. The Seagulls' defence was very diligent so wherever you kicked it became a contest, and we weren't winning enough of those.
Willy’s pressure, sustained pressure, was the best I’ve ever seen at this level. Deserved their win.
Liked Sharp, Brain, Fullarton and Tunstill. Couple of older heads very, very ordinary.

You reckon Brain might storm his way into the first next year?
He might give some forward lines some headaches
Brain living with Will and Jaspa and seeing how they prepare and how disciplined they are combined with his own natural skill I think augurs well for him coming on big time in 24.

Absolutely sold on him as a half back. Reminds me of McKenna. Hope he spends a lot of time learning from him next year.

Brain is alao usually a one touch player. Liked his game and a lot of promise.
What game you watching? Lions had 5 free kicks that resulted in goals. Umpires torched Williamstown was very ordinary display. They thoroughly deserved the win

What about my post made you think I was commenting on the overall quality of umpiring over the game and not just that one decision?
Fair enough, I agree they were poor all day but Lions definitely on the better side of ledger.
Lohman should be playing seniors, no wonder he is off to Bulldogs next year as Fagan continues to play McCarthy ahead of him week after week. Let the kid develop.
McCarthy except for the odd quite game has been fantastic for us this year.
I am a huge fan of Lohmann's potential and he could get his chance this week against the Pies as we will be looking for a replacement for Gunston, I'd be rapt if Kai got a shot.
He's had opportunities that he's not been able to take advantage of. Small forward is not an area of need in the senior team at the moment and as we head towards the finals we can't be awarding games on the basis of development alone. If he decides to move on next year, that would be a shame but all the best to him.

Odd take. Almost as if you don't watch Brisbane play.

He was on field in the first quarter, but what happened after that is a mystery as yet unexplained.
He went off injured early, hamstring I think. He has been ordinary in the reserves since coming off his training block.
Wouldn’t be surprised if there is an imminent retirement announcement if his hamstring rules him out for the year. Was hoping we’d give him a farewell game, even as sub versus Saints but from what we’ve seen of late; he looks done.
Yep, I am expecting our 2 oldest players who are both Out of Contract to retire this year ie. Richy and Zorks.
Maybe out 3rd oldest Gunston could pull up stumps early as well, depending on the severity of his injury, 4th oldest Lyons who also has 1 year left on his contract should probably give it away as well.
Shedding our 4 oldest players all of who are not vital to our competitiveness would be a good revitalisation of our list... albeit a fully fit Zorko is still a serious weapon IMO.
He had 10 disposals last night which 6 were uncontested and 1 tackle. Him and Rayner not working defensively anywhere near well enough for Brisbane to win a flag.
I think he has had that sort of season which doesn’t stack up on big stage. Hence why I think they need to get that sorted if they any chance. Lohman probably gets a chance now anyway with Gunston injury so time will tell I suppose.
