Game Day Round 1, 2024 - Fremantle vs. Brisbane Lions

[3KZ is Football]

Rayner and Berry would want to do something this quarter.

Rayner's elevation to the leadership group hasn't really increased his capacity to provide leadership.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Great mark by Charlie

 

[FFB1]

Way we’re going there won’t be a need to build that 60,000 seat stadium in Brisbane; we’ll be back to crowds of 25,000 once those 1, 2 and 3 year members drop off.

2 weeks in a row. Goal-kicking so crucial.

Our ‘window’ hasn’t ended in an age sense. That’s a red herring. It’s gone because you can’t be close year after year and keep failing.

We have had the class.

We have had years in which there was no star side.

We have had the warning signs telling us we needed a better game plan

We just said yeah nah go again

So frustrating

Anyone out there still think all of us who said we were cooked after round one are over reacting???

 

[SizeMatters]

Charlie has been terrible the first 2 weeks.... we lose against Collingwood IMO top 4 is gone, might be able to make up the numbers in the lower part of the 8 though.

If we lose next week I’d rather…

 

[Nathan Barley]

I know you want 16 A grade mids Nathan Barley, but it aint happening. It doesn't happen.

Our 5th best mid is at best a C grader. That’s the issue

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

A team of shitters who try harder will always beat a team of super stars who don’t.

Charlie has been terrible the first 2 weeks.... we lose against Collingwood IMO top 4 is gone, might be able to make up the numbers in the lower part of the 8 though.

I reckon if we get to the back end of the year and we are out of the race, given where we have been and some individual personalities in this team, it could get real ugly if a few pack it in.

Who are the other teams with better?

 

[MSB ROYS]

Zac Bailey is happy just to take his pay check isn’t he- bruise free

Agree. And I blame Dom.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Who are the other teams with better?

You’re looking at 1 right now

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Why is Jared Lyons trying twice as hard as anyone else?

 

[scoman]

You’re looking at 1 right now

They are better today, thats for sure.

But go on name them 5 or 6 deep.

 

[Lionheart182]

Why is Jared Lyons trying twice as hard as anyone else?

Yep to be fair to JL he has put in all night. One of the few

 

[martinson]

Why is Jared Lyons trying twice as hard as anyone else?

Because he knows he'll be the first one for the chop.

 

[luthor]

Good last quarter spoiled by missing some absolute sodas

Serong, Brayshaw, Fyfe, Jackson, Young and O’Meara

 

[3KZ is Football]

Chris Scott, what up?

100% Agree. After last week, you would have thought the coach would have had the players breathing fire, but sadly not. Tepid performances from most. Diabolical from Oscar McInerney. The LEARNINGS from this game are that Fagan has lost the players, the plot or both. All the MULLIGANS have come home to roost. New coach please.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Forwards looking a lot better this quarter with some quick ball movement

 

[MSB ROYS]

Rayner just coughed the ball up in the centre. Too cute.

 

[FFB1]

Why is Jared Lyons trying twice as hard as anyone else?

He’s not, the rest are doing it half arsed.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

I reckon if we get to the back end of the year and we are out of the race, given where we have been and some individual personalities in this team, it could get real ugly if a few pack it in.

Don’t worry, hopefully that clone machine will be ready by then so we can have 22 Will Ashcrofts running around in the 2025 season and never lose another match ever again

 

[Nathan Barley]

How many times tonight has Andrews and Lester lost a 2 on 2

 

[braddsey]

must be within the last 2 mins of the qtr. another opposition make-goal in the forward line.

 

[martinson]

Let's face it .Freo are missing good players and their bench is just about vacant.

So this is a very disappointing performance.
