Review Round 1, 2019 - Brisbane Lions vs. West Coast

[Fatcat08]

Some seriously good media coming out of the club at the moment. Hard not to get excited and involved with that sort of video becoming more of the norm.

Who else has watched all the goals video about 15 times since Saturday?

I watched the replay for the first time last night and the bloke that really stood out for me was Dayne Zorko particularly his tackling/harassment/pressure, he was exceptional.

My two highlights:

Jarrod Berry briefly joining in the crowd chant.

The end of the video, where after the celebration there's a business-like - 'Go straight to the meeting room now'.

On to next week.

What we did 2017 - failed to execute any game plan

What we did 2018 - executed a game plan often though rarely for an entire game

What we did 2019 game 1 - executed two game plans over the entire game. That is massive - we started with a plan that, had we kicked straight, wasn't too bad. But then we changed plan based on how the play was unfolding. Our players changed what they were doing and executed the new plan near enough to perfectly.

This is massive. The teams that win are those that are flexible and responsive during games. It shows how much education and learning has occurred in past few years. It also shows we should have faith in fagan's tactical nous.

I think you've hit a very important nail on the head here. This is a reason that makes the lid off but hovering somewhere near the cumulonimbus cloud line. The potential in this side is arguably better than any other in the league and the fact they can already adapt and learn (and have an excellent coach calling the shots) is extremely exciting. Finals this year will not be a surprise at all if they can play to some semblance of their potential.

The concern is consistency and whether or not they can stay grounded. The Lions should easily account for Norths but this sort of expectation and favouritism is not something these kids are accustomed to at all.

There's plenty of footage that can be used to help them stay grounded. Unfortunately

Can't remember the last game against North at Marvel where we didn't concede 5 goals plus in the first quarter. It's going to be so important to start well and not like we did against WC.
