[Johnny Bananas]

Just like last week, our defenders are playing like utter garbage.

 

[briztoon]

More Lions fans here than Suns.

Not much to add on the game.

Brain got cleaned up and hurt in the first quarter. But back out at the start of the second.

Reville just going through the motions.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Other teams just keep on kicking straight against us... Is it a lack of pressure, giving them easy shots or voodoo?

 

[Lace Out]

Might head down to Coles

 

[wattoxi]

defence and forward line both dysfunctional

 

[Mr Ripper]

Metripong plays much better choons than the Gabba

I think lack of pressure. We do not stick the tackles
So they know they got time to get the ball in front for shots.
We either jumper hold or do the arms out trying to heard them thing.
Seniors do it on days we get done as well.
Most of our tackles are in our forward line when they want you to tackle for a ball up.

We keep giving them uncontested marks in our defensive 50, so I'd say it's giving up easy shots.

The only player I'd consider promoting to the AFL side on this performance is Smith. The rest have been poor. Ryan has 11 disposals and is running at 27% efficiency, which sums up that performance really.

Henry Smith > [PLAYERCARD]Sam Day[/PLAYERCARD] in the pecking order moving forwards. Would love to see him get a run in the seniors at the expense of Fort in the next few weeks.

 

[davemc_lions]

If you look at the seniors games we done well with the pressure been through the roof.
Teams then hear foot steps that are not there..

you think with a defence with Doedee and Coleman we do better being organised.
Also think some guys need to wait for a second before playing on
Smith been great although I think 3 of his handballs missed the player and lead direct to turn overs.

 

[LoganMorrisFan]

Doedee over running that ball was a worry albeit he got there eventually

Smith's disposal efficiency 100%? Stats might not be accurate.

Funny thing about stats if it hits the player it 100%
If that player has to stop grab it from low or behind them it is their bad stat

 

[davemc_lions]

nice goal will not be Annables last

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Good fightback this quarter.

 

[bato]

WOW Tunners.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Tunstill - far out. What a goal from outside 50.
Didn't know he had that in him

 

[Tricky Dicky]

... then has a bad fumble right it front of Suns' goal.
Lucky it didn't cost a goal

 

[Nathan Barley]

Not sure what was worse; ZZ not rushing it through or all the fumbles in the D50

 

[irel]

I see ants.

whats the wind like seems more scores down the end we kicked to in the 3rd?
1st 7-4
2nd 8-3
3rd 7-3

Although pressure was up that qtr apart from allowing someone front and centre alone

 

[Mr Ripper]

Dunno if it’s been mentioned anywhere, but [PLAYERCARD]Ben Hudson[/PLAYERCARD] not coaching today; [PLAYERCARD]Daniel Lloyd[/PLAYERCARD] taking the reins.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

McCarthy from Geelong kicks back to back goals from lovely set shots.
That's Curtis btw, not Linc !
