Unofficial Preview Lions v Demons AFLW Grand Final

[FLVanLandingham]

i'd love to blame the umps for this but we didn't bring our best.

eugh how disappointing.


but still.. * the umpiring

 

[Nathan Barley]

Melbourne comfortably better today. So disapointing knowing we can play much much better

unfortunately we’re chokers

 

[iBeng]

We lost this mostly ourselves, honestly. Some shocking calls sure, but we just didnt have it today.

 

[Sausages]

Oh well

Beaten by the better team on the day today.

 

[Daniels Riches]

Quarters 2-4 have been a tough watch. 2 minutes for someone to stand up.

[Helicon1]

Choked

 

[scoman]

Melbourne completely dominant today. It happens. It sucks, but that's what it is. We didn't get near the ball.

 

[Ceebee]

Devastated .

 

[Dalions]

3 points after quarter time is pretty disappointing.

 

[Toffee Lion]

That would be up there for one of the girls poorer performances, they’ll be devastated.

Good season but ultimately fell short again.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Credit to Melbourne ultimately. Didn’t let us play our style of footy.

Cue two weeks of media led Daisy Pearce worship even though she was a complete passenger.

 

[rwan566]

this reminded me of the richmond game we lost. Feels like our strategy was all off today

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Does anyone know why they decided too stop paying holding the ball for 5 minutes? And apparently running in and tacking someone who has a free kick is OK, let alone the ‘protected zone’. What a shambles.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Maybe the pressure and the build-up for playing at Springfield worked against us

The ump called played on because he's a ******* moron before an ump off the play made the correct decision

They tried hard to get daisy a flag last year against us, and even harder today. Just rubbish umpiring.

Melbourne media shattered they can't break up the Daisy Pearce worship by writing stories about the numerous injuries due to the poor surface.

 

[snooplions]

Bit annoying how Daisy said they had to get over the disappointment of having to come up to Brisbane. Was a good win away for them though. Second to the ball won’t win a GF is what I take away from that.

 

[rwan566]

Don’t think umpiring was that bad if you are second to the ball all the time. You can expect a few calls to go go against you especially in Aflw where they don’t tend to call htb as much

Problem was how our team strat today was to zone off and try to cut off the handball avenues which played into dees hands as no one wa going for the ball. This translated into territory control

We tried to change it late in the third and fourth but was too hard by then as the dees has their tails up and we could not flip the switch.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Was like looking at a carbon copy.

 

[Lazza16]

I am sure Zimmie is somewhat pxssed off.

 

[rwan566]

Yeah in hindsight we needed zimmies X factor as we needed her pace. But can’t fault starcevich for going for consistency

 

[LongLion]

Stopping the game for cramp now

That was a joke

You can be really hard to take sometimes.

 

[lioninthesand]

Frustrated by the fact we got our hands on it plenty then just kicked long straight into their defensive net time and time again with not intervention.

Dees were good but we had our chances.

Frustrating.

Umpiring was horrific.
