Review Pr(O)logue Round, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Carlton

[ZoBlitz]

Every game where I don't have to type out the poll from my phone is a win, basically.

 

[dlanod]

Good old Round 1 0 efforts.

Turned to the NRL after we were about 40 points ahead thinking it was over

lol

Miserable failure unfortunately. No excuses

Now we know who to blame - get him!

Votes to Neale and Wilmot. Nobody else

 

[MacMum]

We didn't deserve to win that. Was a terrible effort

 

[KissKiss]

That was a real choke.

Big lead and then just stopped moving and running. They knew to attack when we slowed down (pattern forming there). Then after that we just had a night where every fumble and bit of luck seemed to go their way. They were the better team when it mattered.

Goal kicking yips are clearly back again.

Bailey, Ah Chee, Lester, Neale and probably Linc were our best for most of the night.

Let's not overreact from one game fam.

Instead, I propose we embrace the truth: Vossy was due to coach a huge comeback win at the Gabba. It's his schtick.

Why do we try to shut the game down way to early.

Sh!t tactic we go to again and again and again, and lose every fr!cking time.

Fe<king stupid tactic.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Our best is more than good enough, our worst is still bad enough to undo all our good quite quickly. Blues are likely a Top 4 side but just our inability to manage the game is still not where it needs to be.

No Coleman & McKenna across our half-back was not ideal, we lost all run, dash & carry.

Toys don't need to get thrown out of the cot for a 1 point classic to begin the season but it's alarming how they were able to slam on 7 goals unanswered in like 20 something minutes, shades of Port Round 1 last year but as we know, it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. 4 points dropped though.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

How do we go from 1st qtr to that. It's hilarious how arrogant this team is. So bloated on bath water it's not funny.

Sad but true.

Just wish it wasn't a Friday night, ruins the weekend.

Petition to play away first game of the season in perpetuity. Haven’t had a good round 1 performance since 2019.

If we’re going to stink it up every year, may as well be an away game we are unlikely to win.

 

[brutus76]

1st quarter brilliant

Then 3 quarters of football butchery where the skills belonged in the deli department of Coles or Woolies

But Fagan said we dont have a red time problem in his interview just last week

We weren't even trying to shut the game down.

We weren't dropping players back, we weren't chipping the ball back and forth, we'd simply stopped running into space and instead just bombed it down the line. I'm guessing because we were up by "enough" that effort dropped.

Hopefully that's a wake up call - it was last year.

 

[deklares]

Hippy, Joey and Charlie missed easy chances right before Carlton's comeback in the second.

It didn't even need to be close

 

[dlanod]

I don't think red time starts half way through the second.

 

[FFB1]

Any list spots available? See if Cotchin wants to pull a jumper on and be a fly in fly out player; god knows we need some leadership out there.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Ended up getting beaten up around the contest led by some woeful rucking. Hopefully Dunkley and Neale can get back to the midfield time they had last year

Lot of movement stopped in the midfield and we stopped tackling (almost none in the third). Sadly its a lesson about run and effort from the forwards and mids that we seem to never learn

 

[davemc_lions]

reminded me of the Melb game last year..
We choked yet again.
