Preview JLT - Lions v Demons, Casey Fields, Saturday March 9th 3.10pm (Brisbane time).

[pulpdriver]

Thought Stef might be a little underdone or ginger with the preseason hiccup with his back but he was great. Will be hard to unseat him as our number 1 ruck.

 

[James North]

Neale, Lyons and McCarthy are all seriously good additions. On that basis alone we are a better side than last year.

Really surprised with how good McCarthy was in the midfield actually - really great attack on the ball, good on the ground and when it was in dispute. Super quick first few steps. Immediately useful.

 

[MSB ROYS]

McCarthy makes good decisions with ball.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Snuck down to the Valley and watched the quarter. Glad I did. I thought we did well to steady in the last 5 or so minutes.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Hard to see Matho missing a start in game one on that performance. Basti unfortunately did what Basti does, showed promising signs early and then faded to the point of being almost invisible. Maybe he was benched for a fair slice of the second half? Bailey will also play round one you would think.

 

[HereIam86]

Bet the media will say Brisbane only got the win because these players from Melbourne didn’t play and they had a few injuries during the game.

That was promising on so many fronts. Ball movement, recruits, structures and response when challenged. Pretty much used the preseason as it should be. Solid build each week from our gc hitout.
Need to move it a bit better going into 50 and still lack a marking option, but we look very dangerous when it hits the ground.
At the time I though the Suns decision to deist Lyons was bizarre... and the swift move to the lions warranted further scrutiny. Nonetheless I sense he’s going to follow in the steps of our captain and make them look very foolish.
I wouldn’t be giving May a holiday. Don’t think it was high.

 

[a mayes ing]

Oh s**t forgot that may is a demon now. Watch out for the doghsots bois.

Move to a different team but still a flog. This time got Berry, no surprise that he only goes after players smaller than him

 

[tate13]

Also think we as a club really underestimate what we have with Stef. Second year in a row there’s been big whispers of him being overthrown. And yet again, as he has year after year, he showed what a quality player he is. A lock for round 1.

 

[Caiphus]

Think Lewey replaced Bastinac and that's when Basti disappeared. I thought McStay showed some really encouraging signs that he has continued to progress. I think he can make an impact this season.

 

[Lions Flag 2020]

I would rather win than lose any day - even if only jlt. Winning is a habit and we haven't had that habit for a long time!
Bailey had a brilliant game for such a young player playing in a new position. He is a 200 gamer.

Bailey is really smart with the ball. Handled a number of pressure situations in the backline well Today, stays calm and uses that extra second to find the best option.

Steven May is a flog every season he knocks someone out likes doing it to Brisbane players Rockliff Martin Berry.

Gave him a serving after the game. Told me to go f**k myself lol

Not sure Martin is smaller than him?

 

[BangyBangy]

Looking forward to seeing the highlights of the game. Thanks everyone for posting. It's been a fun read. Hope everyone who went to the game got out safely with their cars intact.

Players look smaller with their heads down looking at the ball.

 

[bato]

This was a game won on our defence IMO. Stable, reliable and efficient ball movement.

ANDREWS 3

RICH 2 (honestly one of his better defensive games)

LYONS 1

Good on you DR, he reminds me of an ice infested car jacker.

 

[Droolionheart]

Who were the best on's for us for those watching?

Purely from reading this thread I'd say- Neale, Andrews, Bailey, Lyons.

My best in no particular order

Lyons, Andrews, McCluggage, McCarthy, McStay and Neale

Good set of lessons:

- the game will ebb and flow, so keep following the game plan like it’s 0-0
- we can come out firing
- it’s easier playing in front
- we can hold on to a lead

 

[Droolionheart]

What happened to Keays' face? Bandaged up.

He received a knock to the back of his head.....a small cut.

Doesn’t matter who we play we’re gonna get teamed. #realitycheck

[Nunez]

Thought keays looked composed. Hopefully he can develop into some handy depth for us.

 

[Caiphus]

Gee our skills had improved a lot in just a week. Hope the two week break doesn't make us rusty again.

Wait until the humidity drops up here, it can be like a cake of soap until then.
