Autopsy AFL 2019 Round 20: Brisbane Lions v Western Bulldogs, 16:40 AEST GABBA. Lions win 98-80

Hahahaha this is preposterous! You truly have no idea.

Yea true but maybe not. Who knows.

Besides an average looking kicking action, Naughton is a really good kick of the footy going inside 50. Has an exceptional leap. And is a competitive beast with a lot of speed. To say he’s nothing more than a contested marking player is just ridiculous. He’s 19 years old and has made Harris Andrews look silly on both occasions they’ve played each other.

Dogs battled valiantly but the Lions way too classy for them.

They will be next week, after they demolish the Gold Coast to the tune of about 200.

Then play Richmond and Geelong.

Damn the Lions look scary good. Unstoppable in the way the Dogs in 16 and Tigers in 17 were (during the finals at least). I wonder if Zorko's injury will play much of a role? I honestly feel Brisbane might be my flag faves at this point.

I feel like it’s West Coast’s flag to lose.

If we didnt butcher the ball going inside 50 the first half we win. Our mids smashed them but brissie are really good inside 50. Love to have Cameron in our side turned some half chances into goals

Dunno, you guys did beat us in round 1 (granted it's round 1). I just feel Brisbane seem a bit more invincible than the rest right now. Would not want to travel to the Gabba to play a final, so top 2 is important.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Likewise we should be very hard to beat in a final at home. The possible permutations kind of hurt the brain.

Extremely hard and even worse then losing the possibility of being thrashed as the Dees were last year

Brisbane this year are like Melbourne last year, but they seem a bit better organised. E.g. they know how to control the tempo etc. I think they could go all the way regardless. Just exciting to see a new kid on the block.

Think your mob and Richmond will be too good come finals time. Brissie are a good team but think the two upper echelon sides at present are West Coast and Rich. I never felt like we were out of the game or got outplayed last night but when we went west we got absolutely spanked 2nd half
