Brisbane Lions v Carlton - Rd 21, 2016 - 1:45 @ The Gabba

[JeffDunne]

If you want an example of why Brisbane need a new coach then today was a good game for it.

Brisbane have no defensive team structure. Carlton's last kick out after the Rich point could of cost Brisbane the game. The Brisbane players didn't even try to setup a zone across half back.

They have plenty of talent to work with. Lucky to win in the end but they never gave up.

He's a ripper isn't he? .....thank you Carlton!

He is an okay footballer dont get carried away mate.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

AFL is generally pleased with that result.

 

[Randomizor]

Don't worry Carlton. If there is one thing Lions fans have taught us it's that any failure is all the AFL's fault.

 

[JeffDunne]

Still getting 17,000 to watch a rabble on a Saturday arvo is pretty bloody good.

There's always a difference in the crowds when Victorian teams play in Brisbane.

I will if I want. In among our crap year, this guy has played with pure heart and soul every single game. Has never shirked a game yet.

Carlton to request a priority pick after this loss

Or Ross Lyons

That win must be the very definition of papering over the cracks. Although the cracks are as wide as the Grand Canyon and Brisbane needed to raid every wallpaper shop in Queensland

 

[Milanista28]

Round 23 chance at a win perhaps?

I don't think anyone is declaring this win as a massive step forward!

We were lucky....I think every Lions supporter will say that, but a win is a win, we'll take it

 

[Toump Ass]

Last week Leppa said it was boys v men.

What does that make Carlton? Infants?

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Well done Lions, they need confidence and belief more than a pp

 

[MacMum]

Yep, a PP is way down the list of priorities.

 

[Groo2]

Well done Lions, they need confidence and belief more than a pp

But a pp wouldn't hurt . Or maybe a couple of academy guns.

Fair dive by Cripps there

Might have had something to do with having a very young team, on a hot day near the end of the season struggling to run any further.

Huh?

Why should Brisbane be any less match fit than their opposition? In fact the conditions should have favoured them.

If they're not as fit as they need to be then ditto my previous comment on the coach.

Good one dickhead

Great result for essendon. Can afford to beat carlton now.

Because they are much younger and the kids like Keays and Matho in the midfield have had nowhere near as many preseasons as Thomas or Simpson.

This isn't a difficult concept to understand.
