Review Review Rd 16, 2013 v North

[Harris Specter]

Watched the game at a pub with a bunch of random North fans. Oh so satisfying.

Although they were very good losers. They were almost conceding the game 5 mins into the last. Really glad we are a team that finishing games strongly

This. We used to be renowned for final quarter lapses, and these days, it's reversed and we're crap in the 1st quarters. As long as we get the 4 points

Yeh agree about harwood seems very composed in defence. And uses the ball really well
I was one of the people in previous matches saying how slow vossy is to make changes, but in recent matches that has changed, and changing from golby to Raines on harvey was a good move that payed off

Yup, agree totally on Voss and his game day coaching. It has improved 100% since the Essendon game and when a change is needed it is usually done instantly. Some of the key changes that I thought might have improved the team, such as moving Rich down back for a few minutes to get into the game and moving Zorko into the midfield, where implemented with devastating results for North.

7ish year old North supporting boy in front spent the last 20mins sobbing into his dads chest. Poor little bugger. Really harshed the buzz a bit.

He'll be right. Free burger in the morning!

Well played Brisbane.......too good on the day, just sums up our season in last nights game. I hope it seals Voss's extension as coach.

Replay just started on FoxFooty + the cricket on. Will be a late night tonight.

Replay just started on FoxFooty.

I watch every game twice and I tend to enjoy the replay's so much more, obviously no stress involved, so this one should be good.

Just want to mention what great game capt jed had tonight, I have been critical of him on here before but tonight he was very impressive

 

[SizeMatters]

It really was a perfect day for footy. Looking at the scorecard the Lions kicked 18.9 (with 4 rushed behinds) Vs. Norths 17.3. Such accurate goal kicking and hopefully the Lions can continue on with this for the weeks to come. It has been a bit of a weakness to our game for this year and hopefully this game will give them a confidence boost in front of the goals.

lol what was the deal with that, I would feel so dodgy walking into a maccas and dropping my match ticket on the counter.

Shame is transient.

Burgers are forever.

It build character, he'll be a better person this morning.

All things considered though you were probably correct not to mock him to hard for his teams capitulation.

Lucky the Kangas didn't move to the Gold Coast. He'd be crying once a fortnight.

What a win that was. Once again Brisbane one from behind to win. At one stage we kicked around 7 straight goals. So proud of the Lions. Jonathon Brown really showed his leadership skills during the game.

 

[JMan5]

What do you guys think of Ash McGrath's game? Scored a few goals but gave away a few penalties as well.

 

[chopperduck]

Ash was at his best up forward, as a leading target he is probably one of our best forwards. Genuine leading marking forward, not a crumber. Honoring leads from forwards is something we need to do more often, North were very good at this and hitting them up, we too often just kick it to the contest. It's why Ash can have such an impact up forward.

Said it a few days ago, but as good as Boyd is, we can't give up midfield depth at this point in our development, we are far too young to lose any of our best 22 mids. The 3R's and Hanley are untouchable, we need our first pick for a clearance mid.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

18, 131 was the official crowd. I knew it wouldn't be a big crowd because we were playing North but I was expecting the crowd to hit the 20k mark.

Brisbane supporters have an aversion to North?

This is news to me.

 

[chopperduck]

It was a pathetic crowd for what was a great night for footy. Just shows how much more attractive the twilight slot is for crowds. 7:40 is too late to start a game of footy if you are bringing kids.

Until those umpiring howlers in the 3rd quarter, the atmosphere was terrible. Way worse than the usual golf clapping.

The Merrett free kick and goal or the absurd 50 metre penalty which resulted in a Brisbane goal?

Sure. That's what I was talking about.

He didn't say he didn't mock the kid... Just that it "harshed the buzz" he'd usually get for yelling in a seven year old's face.

Yeah, boring team, etc. If they'd just sold 4th quarter only tickets there would've been a huge demand for those.

Gee, what does that say about Brisbane supporters then?

You'd think by now the umpires would know not to piss the Gabba crowd off.

He'll be right. Free burger in the morning!

I don't bother anymore. I was driving home last weekend and I had the cats in the car so I didn't want to park and get out of the car. They point blank refused to serve me through the drive-thru (Even though plenty of other resturants can do vouchers and things through the drive-thru - and all they do is look at your ticket anyway!) so I've added Maccas to my boycott forever list, which currently includes Hungry Jacks.

You here for a discussion or a fight? Stop with the antagonism.
