Game Day Rd 20 2013 - Richmond v Brisbane

[JMan5]

Hawthorn lost by 41 points and we only lost by 23.

 

[Dan12]

You wanted him dropped during the week.

Yep and I was wrong, wrong, wrong.

 

[lions27]

Who caused the turnover on Martins set shit?

 

[Haggis McHaggis]

Yeoey put a big smile on the dial at the end there.

 

[patfullfankezz]

He made some costly errors but worked hard today. You said you wanted a 30point under loss and got it. You should be happy.

I wanted a win more.

 

[Scubaveg]

25-15 in the end. They call that the 'Rub of the green' for the Lions.

Yeah I harp on it more then most, I'm starting to wander if this is a reflection of our lack of class. Vossie has the boys trying their arse off. to match other teams we need 100% effort. We play a scraggy brand of football and perhaps this plays a part in the constant lopsided free kick counts.

mayes showing awesome signs as a mid that can go forward and cause real damage, something we were hoping from karnezis, mayes is doing in year 1

I'll take honest mistakes over a lack of effort any day. Joel worked his arse off, as always. His opponent kicked one goal for the game. Certainly not a game to be ashamed of.

 

[Scubaveg]

Yep and I was wrong, wrong, wrong.

Doc played well, although he had a couple of bad disposals.

 

[JMan5]

Merret's 150th and he didn't exactly give any gifts.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Wait until people read about the ressies today and the injuries to Bartlett and Polec :/

 

[rideclutch]

Good fightback guys, never out of a match if your players play with belief, and as a supporter it's obviously a great thing to have in the back of your mind.

We got that pick right for sure

 

[JMan5]

How would Voss be feeling? Or thinking?

 

[Ironmonger]

Hmm. I might've taken a four goal loss at the start of the game, but somehow this doesn't really feel like a step in the right direction for us.

We've been down this path before, giving up big leads and then getting back into it when the intensity goes out of the game. It's just not sustainable.

Two games we should win followed by a hail mary trip to Geelong. It feels like the competitive part of our season is over with a lot of questions still to be answered. How do we fix our poor starts? Who is going to play key forward long term? Have we made genuine progress this year, or are we more or less the same as this time twelve months ago?

Something strangely unfulfilling about today, despite the comeback.

Your kidding ? How bad are the injuries? I was hoping for Cal to get a run next week

 

[LanLion]

Sorry, joined the thread really late. Disappointed today with what seems normal MO of us for the last couple seasons. Poor start get blown away, we get a typical rev up to pick up after HT, big effort to come back but it's too late.

Could only listen on the radio today. Sounded like we really struggled against an organised Tigers defence. I'm not a Martin fan, but my take was he did alright, provided some options until he inevitably got tired.

Interesting thing, I heard one of the commentators (Leigh I think) mention that Rog often seems to stray off the line of the mark while he is looking around for options, so the umps will always call play on and then he gets done for holding the ball or disposes poorly. Anybody else notice this (or is this old news...?)

 

[Voss the boss]

There is plenty to like, we are not far away. Just too many poor decisions with the ball I the hand, lack of discipline and turnovers. We need a touch more class in the team and some calm under pressure. I really would like to see Polec come in now.

Edit -I just read TBD post...

Thanks. Congratulations on your win.

Would someone joke about that stuff?

****K

 

[Hollow Knight]

How would Voss be feeling? Or thinking?

Really thrilled I'm guessing. He loves losing games of footy. His favourite thing.

 

[JMan5]

Who will replace Clarke?

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Very minor injuries to both I believe is the initial diagnosis. Not much to stress about there I don't believe.
