Brisbane were;

Too big
Too many match winners
Too fit and ran the game out
We held on undermanned but ultimately didn't have the soldiers who (imho) aren't up to it which I hope we figure out sooner rather than later

We did not lose because Nick Hind

tried to spark us in the last, game was already well on its way out

 

[Beerfish]

yeah well that's about what i expected.

 

[Duckworth]

Looked have a few players a bit down, and missing some energy and spark.

Not all bad news.
Baldwin and BZT held their own in the back.
Martin looked much better overhead taking a few marks.
Redman getting some good intercepts.
Hobbs looks to have taken a step up.

 

[Stopher]

We should join the LIV Tour!

Seriously though, we're hanging tougher than previous years, even while making plenty of mistakes.

There's something about Baldwin well worth persisting with though

 

[Schnitzengruben]

First half decent but second half was very disappointing. Just fell asleep. We need to replace about 10 players from this 22 before we move forward.

 

[Blind Turn]

Meek.

Some players need to have a good hard look at themselves.

 

[Nifft]

Oh well… been a tough few weeks. Time to hit the reset and see what we can do for the next few.

 

[horj89]

Feels pretty similar to last week. First half was really good but when they turned it on we just couldn’t go with them.

Skill errors by hand and dump kicks down the line continue to make life hard for ourselves.

A fortnight ago I was feeling optimistic about Dreamtime but that seems to fading by the week.

 

[Call Me Cake]

We expected this. So nothing much else to say. Reset, go again.

 

[naraku]

There's some player's that nearly always disappear when thing's get tough.


Also, I read that near 3/4 time we'd taken just 4 contested marks. That's woeful.

 

[Lore]

It's coz boncer34 went to bed

 

[MightyDon]

Few players that can’t run out full games and quiet a few players completely unsighted

 

[VelvetSledge]

Pros:
My tip in the game day thread was one point off

Cons:
Everything else

 

[scythe]

Another week, another half. I don't care how good or bad the opposition is, this arsehole club needs to understand it has no right to only play 11 games a year. No one will ever worry about being behind to us at halftime ever again if we don't fix it.

Bulldogs are taking care of the scum, so there's that at least.

 

[MiguelM]

Marks


Wont win many until these areas fixed.

 

[Mootsy]

 

[Nifft]

Also really missing Wright. We need someone who can take a mark.

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Half price haul.

Get effed Joe.

Hope to see 4 quarters of effort soon.

 

[Lore]

Also really missing Wright. We need someone who can take a mark.

we need someone somewhere on the ground to be taller than their direct opponent

 

[ghostdog]

Someone mentioned how our spine is decimated. Doesn't help matters when your rucks take 3 marks between them. I love what Draper brings but there's still lots to be done to improve his game. His work i50 has obviously improved but he also has a tendency to try to do the impossible when it's clearly not on. Frustrating player to watch. I'd rather the less flashy guy who holds his marks.

 

[Happyskeret]

Disappointed it blew over 40 points at the end hopefully our biggest loss for the year. Velvet Sledge was on the money with the prediction again he was only 1 point off it.

 

[BomberTime]

Not a great night, but with all the injuries it was to be expected against a full Brisbane lineup. At least not a belting.

The songs after goals is really obnoxious…

 

[Seb78]

Worst loss of the year
