Well done lions. They are actually quite nice to watch play. Uncomplicated, direct footy. A lot better than St kilda and Carlton, which are unwatchable.

St Kilda are ok in play, it's the horrific forwardline ability that undoes them.

Yeah, that's agreeable.

Why has the only team to decide to run out a grand final when they didn't need to happen to come up against us?

Sent from mTalk

Because their coach needed to stick it up the board as far as he possibly could, and ours was too stubborn to bunker down and settle for a 60-70 point drubbing.

Clarkson better have another chat with Gill. What's with all these opposition players kicking goals vs his Hawks? Blue murder!

 

[Andy_B]

EAD Clackson. this what you get for making 4 unforced changed to go with your 2 forced changes.

Q. What team loses a close one to Sydney one week then makes 6 changes?
A. An arrogant one

Hawthorn losing is very nice for us ladder wise. Plus i just enjoy watching hawthorn lose.

Let's be honest, we were actually terrible at going the flood under Choco, so I don't think it would have mattered.

Score is really bizarre considering Hawthorn is leading in most key stats.

Obliterated?

Was like, 8 goals.

They were obliterated. Similar to our magpies losing by 30 but never being in the game. Hawks started on fire and that was game over.

Efficiency 75 - 72 Brisbane's way.
Efficiency inside 50, 60-40 Brisbane's way.
Contested Marks, 13 -3 Brisbane's way.
Marks inside 50, 12-4 Brisbane's way.
Intercepts 62-56 Brisbane's way.

Nah, I think Brisbane aren't doing too badly stats wise.

Fagan knows Hawthorn inside and out. Hopefully we are taking notes from this game as Fagan has probably picked some key weaknesses to exploit.

I'm fascinated by the idea that a team that lost by 20 goals could have somehow halved that margin.

Hawthorn are the only team I’m ever confident we can beat. Tasmania is the wild card.

How often did we go the shut up shop across 01 - 07, and in that time actually manage to get outscored by also rans with nothing to play for?

Eagles supporters definetely need to lift their booing.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Seen Impey do 3 kicks since midway in 3rd. All straight to oppo.

Was kinda talking about the recruit rather than the team.

Imagine having a career high disposals, in a loss, to 18th.

 

[simmo_bc]

don’t watch many lions games but forget how good Beams is when fit

 

[mic59]

Roger me senseless. I come back from Alberton and have a look at the scores and Hawthorn are 44 points down to the Lions at 19 minutes into the last quarter. This is good for us as St Kilda are now only half a game ahead of them. Unfortunately Carlton could keep St Kilda off the bottom with their percentage-draining loss to Melbourne today. With their last four wins being by a combined 253 points Melbourne have catapulted themselves to third.

 

[Boss351]

How refreshing to see a team back themselves and have a fair old dip, play the corridor at the best opportunity and run, get a handy lead and run time down and bide their time to strike, really pleased for Brisbane they earned this win... Daniel Rich though what a huge disappointment this stage of his career, he offers nothing

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

You deserve this Hawthorn! Clarko and Sicily can cop it sweet too.

Up the Lions!

 

[Papa G]

Lol 10 goals. Suck it Hawthorn.
